Travis Kelce hits fan in head with golf ball during Pebble Beach Pro-Am – again

He should ditch the 5-iron and stick to gridiron.

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce inadvertently struck a spectator in the head with a golf ball on the last hole of the AT&TPebble Beach Pro-AmFriday, the fourth time the Super Bowl champion has errantly walloped a fan on the course.

The 36-year-old tight end blasted his 18th-hole drive wide out of bounds, shouting "Fore" to any spectators in the vicinity, but the ball still found one woman who was hit in the head.

Kelce ran over to the woman — identified as Edenne Flinn – to apologize for the errant drive as she was receiving medical attention at a golf cart,KSBW reported.

The three-time Super Bowl champion, who was partnered up with pro golfer Keith Mitchell during the celebrity-filled event, was captured on video speaking with Flinn as other spectators gathered around the two, accordingto a TikTok post.

Flinn reassured Kelce that she was fine, but the amateur golfer signed an autograph before parting ways.

Kelce withdrew from the rest of the hole after the incident, which resulted in his team finishing with a two-day score of 10 under par.

Bryce Harper on Dave Dombrowski saying he's no longer elite: 'Kind of wild'

Philadelphia Phillies' president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski chose an odd time to call out one of his star players last season. Following the team's postseason departure in October, Dombrowski suggested that first baseman Bryce Harper, a two-time National League MVP, was no longer an elite player.

With spring training getting underway soon, Harper was asked by reporters what he thought of Dombrowski's comments.

Harper stayed mostly professional throughout his answer, but did express some discontent.

"For me it was kinda wild the whole situation of that happening," Harper said.

"I think the big thing for me was when we first met with this organization it was, 'Hey we're always going to keep things in-house and we expect you to do the same thing.' So when that didn't happen it kind of took me for a run a little bit."

Harper also claimed that the "Not Elite" shirt he wore in a DecemberTikTokof him taking batting practice was not a statement against Dombrowski, merely a shirt that was made for him. Harper claimed, "If they're going to make [the shirts] for me, I'm going to wear them." However, the timing seems odd considering Dombrowski had spent the previous monthclaiminghe and Harper had cleared the air.

Harper is entering his age-33 season.

Did Harper struggle in 2025?

By Harper's standards, absolutely.

In 2025, Harper posted his second-lowest batting average (.261), lowest on-base percentage (.357), and lowest slugging percentage (.487) of his Phillies' career.

That said, he still posted a 129 OPS+, which is a high-end figure by any metric. Furthermore, his strikeout rate dropped between 2024 (21.9%) and 2025 (20.9%) as well as his average exit velocity (91.3) and barrel percentage (12.3%).

When do the Phillies begin spring training?

The Phillies begin spring training on February 21 with a matchup against the reigning American League champion Toronto Blue Jays. The game is scheduled for a 1:07 p.m. ET start time.

Tennis pro Destanee Aiava condemns 'toxic' tennis culture in retirement announcement

Australian tennis player Destanee Aiava announced she would be retiring from professional play in an open letter that condemned what she called the "racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hostile" culture within the sport.

The 25-year-old posted on Instagram Saturday to say that this will be her final year on tour, adding that tennis has become her entire life. Aiava said she questioned whether everything she sacrificed was actually worth it.

"There was a time in my career when I had reached the point that comes just before you make your big breakthrough, when the world is at your feet and nothing can touch you," she wrote. "I was only 17, unprepared and dangerously naive to the consequences of trusting the wrong people."

At age 17, Aiava's world ranking as a singles player was No. 147 and it remained the peak of her career. She is currently ranked No. 235, according to herWomen's Tennis Association profile.

Aiava described tennis as her "toxic boyfriend," writing that she sometimes played just because she felt that she owed it to people or because she was too scared to start again from scratch. Tennis may have given her friendships and dream experiences, but it also took things from her, she wrote.

"Behind the white outfits and traditions is a culture that's racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hostile to anyone who doesn't fit its mould," Aiava wrote. "Life is not meant to be lived in misery or half assed."

Aiava acknowledged her Samoan heritage in her letter by thanking the Pacific Islander community for their support. She added that she was "deeply humbled" by the young girls and boys who have been inspired by her.

"I am proud to have been one of the few you saw on a stage that wasn't built for us," Aiava said. "I am proud to have made history for our people. And I am proud of where I come from — because of all of you."

In her letter, Aiava gave a "ginormous f--- you" to the people who made her feel "less than." She also directed that sentiment to people who have sent her death threats and those online who made comments on her body and career.

The comment section of Aiava's post was full of support, including a few heart emoji from 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens. Stephens, 32, won her eighth singles title in 2024.

Aiava said she looks forward to a life led by "purpose, creativity, and passion."

"I don't know what this year will look like or where tennis fits into it," Aiava said. "What I do know is that this chapter will end on my terms."

High School Podcasters Say 'It Was Really Weird' Being Spoofed by “Saturday Night Live ”(Exclusive)

NEED TO KNOW

• The MD Foodie Boyz podcast found viral fame thanks to the teenage hosts' food reviews

• The Maryland-based high schoolers were even spoofed on Saturday Night Live, twice

• The boys talk to PEOPLE about their reaction to the skits

The teenage hosts ofMD Foodie Boyzfound viral fame by making videos talking about what they care about the most: food.

The podcast, which has over 370,000 followers across channels, consists of Maryland-based high schoolers Ryan, Peyton, Jackson and Emmett. Ryan, 15, tells PEOPLE that he started the podcast organically with Peyton, as the two wanted to do food reviews. From there, they expanded their reviews into a podcast format and brought a few more friends into the mix.

"We just had the idea in the car. Then we thought we were just gonna film one podcast. We didn't really know if we were even gonna clip it and post it on Instagram and TikTok," he says. "But then once we clipped our first one during December break, and we posted our first little clip, then that went viral right away, and then it just went up from there."

The group has consistently gone viral with their anti-vegetable takes. When asked about the worst food they've ever had, unsurprisingly, all the boys listed different vegetables, from celery and carrots to brussels sprouts.

In October 2025,Saturday Night Liveseemingly spoofed the podcast, using Sabrina Carpenter, Chloe Fineman, Jane Wickline and Veronika Slowikowska as hosts of a fictional podcast calledSnack Homiez.

Ryan shares that he was "shocked" when he first saw the skit.

"I was really surprised that they had Sabrina Carpenter, that's huge," he shares. "It was crazy, her impersonating stuff that we made. It was really weird, all of them.SNLimpersonating us, it feels really weird because it's such a big brand."

Jackson, 14, notes that he thought the impression was pretty "spot on."

"It was pretty funny, too, how they impersonated us," he says.

Each of the boys learned about the skit at different times, as a few of them were at a sleepover when they found out through their manager, while others learned after receiving emails from their teachers. The spoof brought an older audience to their videos, and for all of the boys, being onSNLis a "dream."

The group was shocked yet again whenSNLbrought backThe Foodie Boyzfor an episode in late January, when Finn Wolfhard and A$AP Rocky joined Carpenter, Fineman, Wickline and Slowikowska.

"It was even weirder because they brought back characters. It must've been pretty successful on their end for their viewers because for them to bring it back, it feels crazy," Ryan shares. "I mean, I can't really describe it. It's really exciting because you're back onSNL, which means you did something right."

Peyton, 14, shares that it was "crazy getting on once," and "even crazier" the second time.

"I never thought I would be doing this in my life," he says.

Being spoofed onSNLwas just another highlight for the boys, whose lives have changed tenfold since starting the podcast. Jackson says that they're "doing stuff that not a lot of kids are getting to do."

Along with traveling and going to brand events, they've met Lil Yachty, David Dobrik and Dave Portnoy, who, after meeting the boys, offered them "advice" and "really helpful stuff that helped us navigate through the new crazy stuff."

As they focus on continuing to build the podcast and brand, Ryan teases that theMD Foodie Boyzsquad has big plans moving forward.

"You guys haven't seen it yet, but we have a lot of stuff going on. It's bigger than just food," Ryan says. "Food reviews are what we got, and I think we are gonna keep that, but I think we're bigger than that. Bigger and we have more stuff to talk about."
