The Travis Kelce–Patrick Mahomes duo has been one of the most successful ones in today’s NFL. They may just be a close second to the legendary duo of Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady. The duo has been a pivotal reason for the kind of success the team has achieved. They were responsible for winning the two Super Bowls the Kansas City Chiefs got home. And they are ready to prove their dominance as a duo in a completely different sport: golf.
The duo is ready to face off against one of the winningest duos in the NBA. They are up against the Splash Brothers. In the upcoming edition of The Match, the Chiefs duo are going to take on the sharpest shooters in the NBA. Interestingly, Kelce has already begun speaking a bit of smack.

As he made an appearance in an interview for Fan Duel TV, Kelce voiced out his honest thoughts about the comparisons between Patrick Mahomes and Stephen Curry. While on the show, Kelce spoke about the kind of dynasty the Chiefs are establishing and how they would hold up against the Warriors’ record. Kelce admitted that while the Warriors currently have more championship wins, the Chiefs are not far behind. He mentioned how the Chiefs have work to do to come close to the Warriors’ record of 4 wins. He also went on to compare Mahomes and Curry as leaders of the organization. As per NBC Sports, he said, “I think by the end of the day, Patty Mahomes finds a way to get more than four championships.”
Interestingly, Kelce’s comparisons have come just a little bit before the duo is ready to face off against the Splash Brothers. Interestingly, this is not the first time Curry and Mahomes will be taking to the golf course for the Masters.

The novice gold face off
The Match will be seeing a very exciting matchup this time as the Super Bowl champs take on the mighty Splash brothers. The matchup has gained a lot of traction for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is the first NBA vs. NFL matchup to ever take place in the Match. Secondly, certain players from this matchup have made an appearance in the Match before. Curry himself has been a golfer with the likes of Peyton Manning and Charles Barkley. Mahomes made his debut with Josh Allen against two legendary QBs: Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. However, both of the champion’s partners, Kelce as well as Thompson are yet to make their debuts.
While Travis Kelce has been making some interesting comments about the winning records of Mahomes and Curry, the reality is that Curry has won more Larry O’Brien trophies as compared to the number of Lombardi trophies Mahomes has won. Only the sands of time will reveal if Kelce’s predictions will hold true.
