The stage is set for the 2026 Masters as 91 of the world’s top golfers come together at Augusta National Golf Club to vie for the much-coveted green jacket. Before tournament play opens on Thursday, the Masters Par 3 Contest will take place Wednesday and include, somewhat controversially, the unmistakably large and rambunctious personality of Jason Kelce.
Kelce was shipped to Augusta by ESPN after making his golf broadcasting debut for TGL earlier this month, and he’s expected to take on a similar role at the most prestigious golf event of the year. The retired Eagles legend joins SportsCenter host Scott Van Pelt and reporter Marty Smith as part of ESPN’s coverage of the Par 3 Contest and will be primarily doing in-person interviews, something he’s very familiar with as the co-host of an uber-popular sports podcast.
