It's safe to say that Travis Kelce is living the life. Partying with fellow tight-ends—with a surprise performance from his girlfriend; hitting the U.S. Open; golf outings and churning out a popular podcast...is there anything he can't do? Turns out, the answer is no. Fresh off the heels of his successful Netflix film, Happy Gilmore 2, the football star was photographed sans Taylor Swift and sans friends, back to work.

The photos show Kelce to be in good spirits as he gets back to business with his teammates. In one image, he's shown warming up on the field. Other pictures show him all smiles and walking with a look of concentration as he totes his football helmet in his right hand, gloves in the other.

The Chiefs' first game is a pre-season match scheduled for August 8th against the Arizona Cardinals. Their first regular game of the season will see them battling the Los Angeles Chargers at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil on September 5.
For those of us who are not athletically inclined (or interested), Happy Gilmore 2 premiered July 25 on Netflix and is currently the platform's top movie. The Adam Sandler-led sports comedy follows the eponymous character attempting to re-enter the world of professional golf in order to pay for his daughter's costly overseas ballet school. Kelce makes a cameo as a restaurant manager who often bullies Oscar Mejías (played by Bad Bunny), Happy's golf caddy with dreams of owning his own restaurant. Other names in the star-studded cast include Ben Stiller, John Daly, Steve Buscemi, Margaret Qualley and Marcello Hernandez, alongside many pro golfers appearing as themselves.
Here's to a successful sports season...and many more Kelce cameos.
