He cried a little at the accolade.
&#8220;I love you guys,&#8221; Kelce said, holding up the prize.
The competition was held in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, as a component of the American Century Championship charity golf event.
Kelce was noticeably missing from the 2024 ESPYs that same evening. Kelce attended the event wearing a striped long sleeve shirt and cargo shorts.

The competition was part of a charitable golf tournament in Nevada.
Despite his absence, host Serena Williams acknowledged the tight end during the retired tennis player&#8217;s monologue.
&#8220;Congratulations, Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City Chiefs. Williams, 42, made a joke on stage about Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift&#8217;s boyfriend, winning the Super Bowl this year.
Kelce began dating Swift in July 2023 and made their relationship public two months later.

Serena Williams, the ceremony&#8217;s host, joked that he was &#8220;Taylor Swift&#8217;s boyfriend&#8221;.
The &#8220;Catching Kelce&#8221; alum has been a frequent attendee at Swift&#8217;s Eras Tour events, including a recent performance in London.
During the Grammy winner&#8217;s &#8220;Tortured Poets Department&#8221; performance, the former reality star performed a transitional skit with two backup dancers.
Kelce joked on his and brother Jason Kelce&#8217;s &#8220;New Heights&#8221; podcast that Swifties should &#8220;keep showing up&#8221; for potential cameos.

Kelce joined Swift onstage during her Eras Tour last month.
Regarding his &#8220;stage presence&#8221; at the competition on Thursday, the three-time Super Bowl winner interacted with the musicians and sung along to their songs.
Travis was playfully compared to someone &#8220;auditioning hard&#8221; for a new position in Swift&#8217;s choreography via Instagram.
&#8220;He clearly had a lot of stage presence from #theerastour!&#8221; A third user suggested that the NFL player was &#8220;about to bust a vocal chord,&#8221; while another wrote.
