Jason Kelce is set to feature at The Masters in a surprise new role.

The former NFL star recently made his golf broadcasting debut during TGL earlier this month, and it appears to have made a strong impression.

So much so that ESPN is now bringing him to Augusta National for one of the most iconic weeks in golf.

That appearance has now opened the door to an opportunity at The Masters.

It represents a significant step into the golf world for Kelce, who has already proven to be a popular figure beyond football.

Kelce will serve as an on-course reporter during The Masters Par 3 Contest.

His role will involve conducting interviews with players and their families, offering a different perspective on one of the most relaxed and enjoyable events of the week.

The Par 3 Contest is known for its light-hearted atmosphere, making it an ideal setting for Kelce’s personality.

It also gives fans a chance to see a different side of the players before the intensity of the tournament begins.

Kelce’s presence is likely to add fresh energy to the coverage, and it may not be the last time he is involved in golf broadcasting if this opportunity proves successful.
