“I got the blue paint, bald skully” – Travis breaks down the shocking bet he made for Tahoe to Jason

Travis Kelce Supports Patrick Bacon’s Charity Golf Tournament with Laughter, Love, and a Blue Man Wager

This summer, NFL star Travis Kelce traded touchdowns for tee shots as he joined longtime friend Patrick Bacon at the annual Alex’s Way Foundation Charity Golf Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio. But this wasn’t just any golf event. Between heartfelt moments, outrageous bets, and genuine camaraderie, it was an unforgettable weekend dedicated to a cause close to many hearts.

The tournament, hosted by Patrick Bacon, also affectionately known as “Patty Bakes,” raises funds in memory of a beloved family member he lost several years ago. The foundation focuses on community support, awareness, and hope for families dealing with similar losses. Forest City Insurance, Bacon’s company, sponsors the event.

“It was just dope,” Travis Kelce said, reflecting on the event. “Seeing everyone from our childhood and Bacon’s life come together for something that really matters — it hits different.”

Held at the breathtaking Sand Ridge Golf Club, the tournament not only brought together local legends and celebrities but also united old friends from Cleveland’s east side. Travis praised the setting and atmosphere: “I never gave enough credit to how beautiful it is out there. Sand Ridge is something special.”

In addition to the golf, Kelce got serious about showing support. His foursome, helped along by friend Chuck Charlie Grace, posted a solid score. But the true highlight might’ve been the behind-the-scenes comedy and chaos involving a very unusual bet.

The Blue Man Wager

As the tournament buzz faded into the background, Travis and Bacon’s legendary sense of humor came to the forefront. Travis made a bet with Patrick that if he could lose 25 pounds by the American Century Championship in Tahoe, he’d win $10,000.

But if he failed?

Bacon would have to play a full round at Tahoe dressed as a member of the Blue Man Group — full bald cap, head-to-toe blue body paint, and all.

“I want the Blue Man Group,” Kelce laughed. “That’s why I made the bet.”

As the weigh-in day approaches (slated for the Thursday before Tahoe), tensions — and hilarity — are building. Bacon has insisted he’ll bring his own scale, raising suspicions. Kelce, unwilling to risk a cheat weigh-in, declared firmly, “We’ll bring our own scale. We’re not doing this wrestler-style sweat out.”

Adding to the fun, Kelce has gone the extra mile, sourcing professional-grade blue paint and costume materials from a clown shop. “He’s going to look ridiculous,” he chuckled. “There’s a layer you put on so it doesn’t melt into the eyes. I did it right.”

Even Bacon himself has accepted the absurdity of it all. “At this point, I’d pay $100,000 not to wear that suit,” he reportedly joked in a recent text to Kelce.

Tahoe and Brotherhood

For Travis Kelce, events like these aren’t just about swinging clubs or creating spectacle. They’re about loyalty, friendship, and showing up for the people who matter. As he said during the event, “Bacon can be a slappy sometimes, but he’s a good dude with a beautiful heart. That foundation means a lot to him and to all of us who grew up around it.”

Patrick Bacon, known for his wild personality and even wilder calves (seriously, those calves get their own shout-outs), is a fan favorite in both the charity and celebrity golf circles. He’s been Kelce’s caddy at Tahoe for years, beloved for his energy, jokes, and unwavering support. So when it came time to raise funds for his foundation, Kelce didn’t hesitate to rally behind him.

Community and Laughter as Healing Tools

The Alex’s Way Foundation tournament is more than a summer tradition. It’s a tribute to love, grief, and growth — and how laughter can heal. With celebrities lending their names, friends placing bizarre bets, and communities gathering to share hugs and memories, it’s a testament to what true support looks like.

For Kelce, returning to his Cleveland roots and reconnecting with old faces added extra emotion to the event. “I hadn’t seen some of those people in years. It felt good, man. It felt right.”

Final Tee-Off

Whether or not Bacon hits his goal weight, the spirit of the bet, and the tournament itself, are a powerful reminder that even amidst humor and hijinks, there’s a deep core of purpose.

“It’s about showing up for each other,” Kelce said. “Even if that means wearing blue paint and looking like a Smurf on national television.”

One thing’s for sure: come Tahoe, all eyes will be on the scale — and on whether the Blue Man Group gains an honorary fourth member.

And no matter what happens, shout out to Patty Bakes and the Alex’s Way Foundation for proving that love, laughter, and a little competition can create something truly unforgettable.
