DEL MONTE FOREST, Calif. —

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am announced that three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce will take part in this year’s event.

Kelce was announced as a special guest and is expected to join the field on Thursday and Friday.

In recent years, the Pro-Am has shifted away from the celebrity-pro pairing format that helped make the event famous, in favor of a more competitive tournament structure. The professional competition is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, while Thursday and Friday are reserved for professionals and amateurs.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy is expected to return in an attempt to repeat.

There has been no indication whether Kelce’s fiancée, pop star Taylor Swift, will attend.

The couple drew attention in 2025 after Swift appeared on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, where she mentioned he wanted to “save an otter.” The Monterey Bay Aquarium later invited Kelce to visit, according to reports.

Fans also spotted Swift wearing a vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium T-shirt during her 2025 “Life of a Showgirl” album-release film.

The aquarium launched a limited-time fundraiser inspired by the vintage shirt to support its sea otter program, raising more than $2 million in a day.
