Jason, 37, revealed during the April 30 episode of "New Heights," that this marked his first trip "out of the house in a long time," as he's been busy adjusting to life with four daughters.
The retired Philadelphia Eagles center also lamented his performance on the green. "My first putt, I think, was, like, a 10-foot putt that I put legitimately five feet [away] to the point that everyone audibly laughed behind me," he said.
Jason, however, is serious about improving his golf game and surprised fans by heading to Reddit to make a personal announcement about his goals.
He wrote, "Hey Reddit golfers, Jason Kelce here. Now that I've hung up the cleats, I'm trying to get serious about my golf game. I've uploaded 6 different angles of my swing from a session yesterday. Looking for any tips you can give me - especially on my backswing and follow-through.

"Been working with a local pro in Philly, but figured I'd get some crowd-sourced wisdom too. Thanks in advance."
ESPN's Kevin Clark shared the post on X and wrote, "Jason Kelce posting on the golf swing subreddit asking for advice on his backswing is beautiful. Golf is beautiful."
One woman commented, "This is amazing It has to irritate the [expletive] out of him that his baby bro annihilated him at the 8am tournament. Watch out, TK, he's got all the time in the world now."
On Reddit, the replies immediately filled with advice. One person suggested, "Like everyone else said, try not to sway on the driver swing especially. But holy [expletive] this is cool as hell, Jason Kelce wants our advise guys 😂."

Another person added, "It's not Aaron Donald. You don't have to hit it so hard. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."

Joaquin Buckley: Islam Makhachev 'definitely going to run' from me if he wins UFC title
Joaquin Buckley: Islam Makhachev 'definitely going to run' from me if he wins UFC title Joaquin Buckley doesn't see Islam Makhachev sticking around the UFC welterweight division for too long. Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) is looking to emerge as No. 1 contender when he takes on former champion Kamaru Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in Saturday's UFC on ESPN 69 (ESPN, ESPN+) headliner at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. But before Buckley potentially gets his shot, Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) will challenge recently crowned UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena later in the year – even though Buckley doesn't agree. "So once I beat Kamaru Usman, there is no debate, there is no back-and-forth, there is no argument, we up next," Buckley said on his YouTube channel. "You got this guy from 155 coming up thinking he's going to take my spot. No, we can't have it. The JDM fight and Islam fight is not a massive fight to make. JDM is the world champion right now, but I truly believe that Islam got to sit back and just wait for me to get my title because I will be the hardest fight that Islam has." Unfortunately for Buckley, UFC CEO Dana White has already declared Makhachev next in line for Della Maddalena. If both Buckley and Makhachev emerge victorious in their next fights, "New Mansa" doesn't see the former UFC lightweight champion wanting to face him. "He's not going to outwrestle me. He's not going to submit me," Buckley said of Makhachev. "I've never been submitted in my career, and he's definitely not going to stand on the feet with me. If the people want to see it, it's going to be made. ... If Islam does get blessed with that title shot, and he does beat JDM, he's not going to stay there. He's going to retire. He's going to get up out of there, quit, because he knows he's not a natural 170 fighter – and especially with myself, he's definitely going to run from a person like me."

Lee Corso's final ‘College GameDay' to come at Ohio State in Week 1
Lee Corso's final mascot headgear pick for 'College GameDay' will come at Ohio State, where it all began. ESPN's flagship college football show will go to Columbus, Ohio, in Week 1, where the Buckeyes will face Texas in what is expected to be a top-five matchup. ESPN said in April that the 89-year-old Corso would retire after Week 1 of the upcoming season, giving him a celebratory sendoff, but it did not name the location. There was some speculation the show could go to the Florida State-Alabama game, as Corso played at FSU in the 1950s alongside actor Burt Reynolds (and because Ohio State-Texas will be broadcast on Fox). 📍 Week 1: Columbus, OH We're kicking off College GameDay with a trip to Texas-Ohio State, as we celebrate Lee Corso's final show back where he first made headgear history! 🤩 — College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) June 10, 2025 But the show will send Corso off where the headgear picks began. While Corso has been on the show since its inception in 1987, his first mascot pick came at Ohio State in 1996 for the Buckeyes' game against Penn State. Corso has made 430 headgear picks, from Buckeyes to animals to helmets to full-on costumes. He's correctly picked 66.5 percent of those choices, according to ESPN, including a perfect 11-0 in 1999. Brutus Buckeye has been the most popular pick, chosen 45 times, with Alabama just behind at 38. 'When it was our game, I was always hoping he didn't pick us,' Nick Saban said in April, 'because I knew the players were watching and I wanted reverse rat poison.' Coach Lee Corso by the numbers 🤯 🐻 430 mascot headgear picks🏈 66.5% win rate of picks all-time🏆 Perfect season = 1999 More on LC's 38 years on @CollegeGameDay: — ESPN PR (@ESPNPR) April 17, 2025 'My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and 'College GameDay' for nearly 40 years,' Corso said in a news release in April. 'I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement.'

ESPN shared plans to celebrate Lee Corso in final College GameDay show
ESPN shared plans to celebrate Lee Corso in final College GameDay show For 38 seasons of College GameDay, Lee Corso has been the marquee figure of ESPN's traveling pregame show. And with Corso's broadcasting career coming to an end, ESPN revealed its plans to celebrate the 89-year-old's legendary run. There will be one last headgear pick for Corso, and it fittingly will be taking place on the campus of Ohio State. While the Buckeyes' season-opening matchup with Texas was already worthy of a GameDay trip, the reasoning for that pick made perfect sense as Corso's final show. Back in 1996, Corso started the headgear tradition when he donned the mascot head for Brutus ahead of Ohio State's win against Penn State. After that, the headgear pick became a staple of the broadcast. Going back where the tradition started is a fitting way to bring Corso's journey full circle. He'll be 90 years old when the Aug. 30 matchup kicks off — what a run it was.
