Quick, what do Travis Kelce and Kai Trump have in common? If you said “not much,” that is technically correct, but you’re missing the one thing that sits squarely in the middle of their Venn diagram. Both Kelce and Trump are avid golfers — he recreationally, she almost professionally — which is how they wound up chatting at a TGL golf event in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Tuesday.

In a video posted to X, Kelce and Trump can be seen having what looks like a pretty normal conversation. At one point, she gestures toward him as if to say “Good point,” but that’s about all we can glean from the seven-second clip. Of course, I would love to know what these two were chopping it up about, and I do have some ideas:

Their initials are sort of the same. Can’t you imagine Kelce being like, “I’m TK and you’re KT. That’s dope!”
Kai was there with her mom, Vanessa Trump, and Vanessa’s boyfriend, Tiger Woods, a TGL co-founder. It is probably cool to Kelce that Kai has spent time with Woods, which is something they could talk about for at least two minutes.
Trump is the exact demographic of a Swiftie, so perhaps she apologized for all the weird stuff her grandpa has said about Kelce’s fiancée over the years. That’s another 30 seconds knocked out.
The 50th Survivor season. What else are you supposed to talk about with someone you don’t know that well?

A camera was shoved in their faces while they talked, so we just may learn what these two were talking about someday. Or maybe Kelce will tell us himself on an episode of New Heights; his co-host and brother, Jason, was also at the event but managed to avoid getting caught having a pleasant chat with a member of the Trump family. Most likely, we won’t hear about it, but one thing is certain: You never know who might be linking and building at an indoor golf competition in South Florida.
