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.

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 😂."

Christian McCaffrey: "I feel great" after injury-riddled 2024 season
After struggling through multiple injuries in 2024, running back Christian McCaffrey is healthy as the 49ers complete their offseason program this week. A day after head coach Kyle Shanahan called him 'a psycho in a good way,' McCaffrey told reporters that he's feeling great entering the summer break. 'I think this offseason I spent a lot of time kind of building back a base starting from scratch, so a lot of it was rehab,' McCaffrey said, via Nick Wagoner of ESPN, 'and [I] wanted to put myself in a position where I didn't miss a day of OTAs and I could practice and play football again, be healthy and not miss a day, and I did that.' In just four games last season, McCaffrey rushed for 202 yards and caught 15 passes for 146 yards. When he won AP offensive player of the year in 2023, McCaffrey led the league with 1,459 yards rushing, 339 touches, 2,023 yards from scrimmage, and 23 total touchdowns.

49ers' Christian McCaffrey Speaks Out With Major Injury Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2024 NFL season was a tough one for San Francisco 49ers superstar running back Christian McCaffrey. Despite huge expectations, injuries completely ruined the year for him. At the beginning of the season, McCaffrey was dealing with Achilles tendonitis. He was able to come back from that injury, but only played four games and went down with an injury to the PCL in his knee. Going through two separate injuries like those in one season is a lot to handle. Despite that fact, McCaffrey has worked hard to recover and is ready to get back to dominating opposing defenses during the upcoming 2025 season.

Photo byAs for the 49ers, they are hungry to get back to winning. After making a run to the Super Bowl during the 2023 season and losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, the team missed the playoffs last season. That hasn't sat well with them. Read more: 49ers Insider Urges Blockbuster Trade Idea Involving WR Brandon Aiyuk McCaffrey is going to be a massive part of leading San Francisco back to the postseason. He's ready to make that happen. On Wednesday, the star running back spoke out with a major update about his current injury status and how he's feeling. "I feel great," McCaffrey said. "I think this offseason I spent a lot of time kind of building back a base starting from scratch, so a lot of it was rehab and wanted to put myself in a position where I didn't miss a day of OTAs and I could practice and play football again, be healthy and not miss a day, and I did that." Last season, McCaffrey carried the football just 50 times for 202 yards and no touchdowns, while catching 15 passes for 146 yards in four games. Back in 2023, he racked up 1,459 yards and 14 touchdowns on 272 carries to go along with 67 receptions for 564 yards and seven more scores.

Having him back at full health will help the overall team success, but the big winner will also be quarterback Brock Purdy. With his star running back in the backfield, a lot of pressure will fall off of his shoulders. Hopefully, the 29-year-old superstar will be able to stay healthy for the entirety of the 2025 season. He's been through a lot, but he's in great health and spirits entering the upcoming year as he looks to rebound and get his career back on track.

UFC on ESPN 69's Cody Garbrandt says Sean O'Malley 'looked like sh*t' in title fight loss
UFC on ESPN 69's Cody Garbrandt says Sean O'Malley 'looked like sh*t' in title fight loss ATLANTA – Cody Garbrandt is fully focused on getting back on track with a UFC on ESPN 69 win over Raoni Barcelos on Saturday, but if he gets it done, a big fight could await. Former UFC bantamweight champ Garbrandt (14-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) competes for the first time since UFC 300 in April 2024 when he takes on Barcelos (19-5 MMA, 8-4 UFC) at State Farm Arena (ESPN, ESPN+). It's an important bout for him, especially after recently signing a new multi-fight contract with the promotion. If Garbrandt can pull off something spectacular this weekend, as he has many times before, then it's hard not to consider a potential showdown with Sean O'Malley, who he once had a heated press conference exchange with and has since fired many verbal and social media shots toward. With O'Malley on a two-fight losing streak after consecutive title losses to champ Merab Dvalishvili, most recently at UFC 316 this month, it could be a potentially good time for the pair to settle their differences. "He should've kept smoking because he looked like sh*t," Garbrandt told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday's media day. "Whatever you have to do. Sometimes you lose and you try to reinvent yourself and find yourself. At the end of the day, you know who you are, you know what you've got to do. I know I'm one of the best fighters in the world. When you lose you've got everyone in your ear saying you've got to do this and you've got to do that. Just remember what got you there and who you are the end of the day. I think that's a huge fight and pay-per-view sale, Sean and I. But I'm focused on this fight this Saturday and then we'll let everything else fall in line." After dealing with some health issues including vertigo, Garbrandt, 33, said this is "the best I've felt in a while" due to mental and emotionally clarity. He hopes that translated into the octagon, because while his reign as champion is now many years ago and there's been many ups and downs since then, Garbrandt admits he doesn't have satisfaction with his career. "I'm a former world champion – yeah, that's great," Garbrandt said. "It's something that was amazing to accomplish, but it didn't fulfilled me. For me to be here, going through what I've gone through (with) the injuries, setbacks, losses – whatever you want to call it. To wake up every day and chase this dream, to push yourself to a limit and set goals inside of the fight career, it's something that wakes me up every day. It motivates me, it scares me and fills me with all different kinds of emotions to get in there and fight another man that's willing to do whatever to get the win."
