Hilarious! Jason Kelce Knocking Over Justin Timberlake with a Bear Hug During Golf Tournament
The annual Celebrity Charity Golf Classic was in full swing at Pebble Beach, drawing a crowd of sports legends, Hollywood stars, and music icons. The sun was shining, the greens were perfect, and the air buzzed with playful competition and good-natured banter.
Among the most anticipated pairings that year were NFL star Jason Kelce, fresh off his retirement and enjoying his newfound free time, and pop superstar Justin Timberlake, known for his smooth moves both on stage and on the golf course. Fans and media followed their group with excitement, eager to see what antics might unfold.
Throughout the day, Jason and Justin traded jokes and friendly jabs, each trying to outdo the other with their golf swings—and their sense of humor. Justin, surprisingly skilled with a driver, had just sunk a long putt when Jason, ever the showman, decided it was time to celebrate in his own way.
As Justin raised his arms in triumph and turned to acknowledge the crowd, Jason barreled toward him from across the green. With a grin as wide as the fairway, Jason wrapped his massive arms around Justin in a bear hug that could have rivaled any pro-wrestler’s move. The force of the embrace caught Justin completely off guard, and, to the delight of everyone watching, the two toppled over onto the perfectly manicured grass, laughing uncontrollably.
Cameras flashed and fans cheered as the moment instantly became the highlight of the tournament. Justin, ever the good sport, lay on the ground giggling and gasping for breath, joking, “I thought I was in a golf tournament, not the NFL!” Jason helped him up, both men brushing grass off their shirts and sharing a high-five.
The incident quickly went viral, with social media flooded by clips of the tackle-turned-hug. Memes and gifs popped up everywhere, with fans dubbing it “The Kelce Timber-Takedown” and “Bear Hug Heard ‘Round the Green.” Even the tournament announcers couldn’t resist replaying the moment, adding their own comedic commentary.
But the fun didn’t stop there. For the rest of the day, Jason and Justin played up their newfound “rivalry,” with Justin pretending to duck every time Jason came near, and Jason exaggerating his hugs for the cameras. Their playful energy was infectious, spreading to the other players and making the tournament one of the most memorable in recent years.
In the end, neither Jason nor Justin took home the trophy, but their hilarious bear hug became the real prize—a reminder that sometimes, the best moments in sports come from unexpected friendships and shared laughter. As they posed for photos at the end of the day, Justin grinned and said, “Next year, I’m bringing football pads,” while Jason replied, “Next year, I’m bringing more hugs.”
And with that, a new tradition was born—one that fans will be talking about for years to come.
