The NFL brothers combined for -61 points to rank in the bottom half of the leaderboard.

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason was playing on the Lake Tahoe field for the first time.

The tournament used a modified Stableford scoring system, awarding points based on the number of strokes played on each hole.

Jason finished the third round in 87th place out of a possible 89, for The Daily Mail.

Former MLB star Alex Rodriguez and American meteorologist Dylan Dreyer were the only two players defeated by Jason in all three rounds.

Travis, 34, fared a little better than his older brother.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end began the final round ranked 55th before falling seven spots to 63rd.

Mardy Fish, a former professional tennis player, won the top prize of $150,000 by battling NHL star Joe Pavelski to finish first.

“I mean, I got bills to pay, man. I live in Los Angeles,” Fish joked after lifting the trophy in Lake Tahoe.

NFL stars including Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr and Adam Thielen were also in attendance at the event.

Travis Kelce announces major change to New Heights podcast broadcast with indefinite absence in shock for listeners

Earlier in the tournament, Travis allegedly hit a spectator with a bad shot on the 16th hole.

The incident happened just over a week after the Kelces raised the possibility of targeting a fan at the celebrity event on their New Heights podcast.

“My advice is don’t feel bad if you hit someone because they bought the ticket,” Travis joked.

Jason left the NFL behind in March after 13 years.

He spent his entire playing career with the Eagles and won a Super Bowl in 2017.

‘It was a short retirement!’

Jason Kelce didn’t stay retired from the NFL for long.

The former Philadelphia Eagles forward opted out after the 2023 season.

But he will be part of ESPN’s Monday Night Football coverage in 2024.

Kelce will appear on Monday Night Countdown from 6pm to 8pm ET each week, as well as during the halftime show.

“It turns out it was a short retirement!” he joked.

“ESPN was a consistent presence in our home growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love for all sports.

“Appearing now on the same screen is a full circle moment.

“And I want to say it’s Monday Night Football! And I’m ready to play football.”

Kelce is expected to become an analyst for ESPN during the upcoming season.

Away from football, the 36-year-old recently joined Philadelphia-based apparel company Underdog.

A charity golf venture with Jason’s participation helped raise more than $400,000 for local charities.

“We’re just getting started! A big thanks to our friends @buffalotracedistillery for helping us launch The Underdog at Manufacturers,” Underdog wrote on Instagram.

“Through the generous support of friends, family and our partners – we were able to raise over $400,000 for @bephillyfoundation!”

“I absolutely love watching you live your best life! Thank you for taking us on this trip,” wrote one fan, tagging Jason.

“You are doing amazing things,” added another.
