This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle about his participation in this weekend's American Century Championship, which will take place July 11-13 at Edgewood Tahoe. Kittle also discussed the growth of Tight End University with Greg Olsen and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who offered him unique golf advice.
"I think one of my favorite things is when I get like a vet, like a guy going into year 4, 5, or 6, and they come up to me, Travis (Kelce), or Greg (Olsen), and just go; guys want to say, thanks so much for continuing to include me. I pick something up every single year," said Kittle regarding the impact of Tight End University. "I mean, in the last year, we had almost 80 guys. I think 20 of the guys have been all five years, and they always appreciate the time we spend together, and then, like, because they're like, I'm friends with so many more guys in the league, which I thoroughly enjoy. Every game, I get to see a friend across the sidelines. Hopefully, we win, but I still see him and see what's up."
Kittle will be participating in his first American Century Championship, and he received some unique advice from Kelce that may help alleviate his nerves on his debut.
"I think Travis (Kelce) told me to have a few drinks before the first tee box," said Kittle, "So not too nervous."
The annual golf tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC and a first-place prize of $150,000 make the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.
