Travis Kelce hits fan in head with golf ball during Pebble Beach Pro-Am – again

He should ditch the 5-iron and stick to gridiron.

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce inadvertently struck a spectator in the head with a golf ball on the last hole of the AT&TPebble Beach Pro-AmFriday, the fourth time the Super Bowl champion has errantly walloped a fan on the course.

The 36-year-old tight end blasted his 18th-hole drive wide out of bounds, shouting "Fore" to any spectators in the vicinity, but the ball still found one woman who was hit in the head.

Kelce ran over to the woman — identified as Edenne Flinn – to apologize for the errant drive as she was receiving medical attention at a golf cart,KSBW reported.

The three-time Super Bowl champion, who was partnered up with pro golfer Keith Mitchell during the celebrity-filled event, was captured on video speaking with Flinn as other spectators gathered around the two, accordingto a TikTok post.

Flinn reassured Kelce that she was fine, but the amateur golfer signed an autograph before parting ways.

Kelce withdrew from the rest of the hole after the incident, which resulted in his team finishing with a two-day score of 10 under par.

In 2024, Kelcehad two wayward shotson the same day while playing at the American Century Championship in Stateline, Nevada, on Lake Tahoe.

A young female spectator in her 20s was left bloodied when a Kelce's shot on the 16th hole struck her in the head, causing her to remain on the ground for several minutes while event staff checked her out.

Streaks of blood were visible in her hair after the chaotic moment, according to People.

Earlier in the day, Kelce had accidentally drove a ball off course that hit a fan in the arm.

In July 2025, Kelce, again playing at the American Century Championship and accidentally drove aball into the neck of an onlookerduring a booze-filled round.

The injured fan didn't suffer any serious injuries and managed to find laughter despite the errant shot.

The 11-time Pro Bowler has been the subject ofretirement rumors since the Chiefs' seasonended without a playoff appearance.

Kelce is eyeing a return to Kansas City for the 2026 season, with the team making it known they would like him back,according to NFL Network.

The 13-year veteran, who is engaged to pop star Taylor Swift, has yet to make a decision on continuing his Hall of Fame career.

Bryce Harper on Dave Dombrowski saying he's no longer elite: 'Kind of wild'

Philadelphia Phillies' president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski chose an odd time to call out one of his star players last season. Following the team's postseason departure in October, Dombrowski suggested that first baseman Bryce Harper, a two-time National League MVP, was no longer an elite player.

With spring training getting underway soon, Harper was asked by reporters what he thought of Dombrowski's comments.

— OnPattison (@OnPattison)February 15, 2026

Harper stayed mostly professional throughout his answer, but did express some discontent.

"For me it was kinda wild the whole situation of that happening," Harper said.

"I think the big thing for me was when we first met with this organization it was, 'Hey we're always going to keep things in-house and we expect you to do the same thing.' So when that didn't happen it kind of took me for a run a little bit."

Harper also claimed that the "Not Elite" shirt he wore in a DecemberTikTokof him taking batting practice was not a statement against Dombrowski, merely a shirt that was made for him. Harper claimed, "If they're going to make [the shirts] for me, I'm going to wear them." However, the timing seems odd considering Dombrowski had spent the previous monthclaiminghe and Harper had cleared the air.

Harper is entering his age-33 season.

Did Harper struggle in 2025?

By Harper's standards, absolutely.

In 2025, Harper posted his second-lowest batting average (.261), lowest on-base percentage (.357), and lowest slugging percentage (.487) of his Phillies' career.

That said, he still posted a 129 OPS+, which is a high-end figure by any metric. Furthermore, his strikeout rate dropped between 2024 (21.9%) and 2025 (20.9%) as well as his average exit velocity (91.3) and barrel percentage (12.3%).

When do the Phillies begin spring training?

The Phillies begin spring training on February 21 with a matchup against the reigning American League champion Toronto Blue Jays. The game is scheduled for a 1:07 p.m. ET start time.

Powered by women, ‘Wuthering Heights’ digs up $34.8 million at the box office for a No. 1 debut

Emerald Fennell's bold reimagining of"Wuthering Heights"brought crowds of women to movie theaters this weekend. The Warner Bros. release topped thebox office chartsand nabbed the title for the year's biggest opening with $34.8 million in ticket sales in its first three days in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. According to PostTrak polling, an estimated 76% of those ticket buyers were women. By the end of Monday'sPresidents Day holiday, the total could rise to $40 million from its 3,682 locations.

The romantic drama starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the star-crossed Catherine and Heathcliff, won out over the weekend's other newcomers, including theanimated "GOAT"and theheist thriller "Crime 101."Its biggest day was Saturday's Valentine's Day holiday, where it earned $14 million. "Wuthering Heights" is also performing even better internationally, where it's expecting to rake in an additional $42 million from 76 territories.

The Warner Bros./MRC production cost a reported $80 million to produce, not accounting for the millions spent on marketing and promotion. If the four-day totals match the estimates, that makes for a strong $82 million global debut. And the film still has several big openings on the horizon, in Japan and Vietnam on Feb. 27, and in China on March 13.

The success comes while the future of Warner Bros.hangs in the balance, as Paramountcontinues to sweetenits hostile takeover bid in hopes of winning out overNetflix. "Wuthering Heights" is the studio's ninth No. 1 opening in a row.

Fennell's version of "Wuthering Heights," which takes many liberties withEmily Brontë'snovel, largely divided critics. It's currently sitting at a mixed 63% on Rotten Tomatoes. While that didn't dissuade audiences from buying tickets, only 51% of the opening weekend audience said that they would "definitely recommend" the film to friends. Moviegoers also gave it a less-than-stellar B CinemaScore.

The mid-February weekend has hosted big superhero movies on occasion, including "Black Panther" and "Deadpool," but a more relevant comparison is"Fifty Shades of Grey"and its two sequels. The first movie opened to over $85 million, the third to $38.6 million.

"This was a solid if not record-breaking Presidents Day/Valentines weekend," said Paul Dergarabedian, who heads marketplace trends for Comscore. "But that was to be expected without an MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) film."

"GOAT," an animated Sony release produced by basketball star Stephen Curry, landed in second place with an estimated $26 million from 3,863 locations. It's projected to bring in another $6 million on Monday, which would bring its four day total to $32 million — the biggest animated debut since "Elemental" in 2023. It also pulled in $15.6 million internationally, bringing its global total to $47.6 million.

The family-friendly film was the only new opener of the weekend to get an A CinemaScore. Sony Pictures Animation was also behind"KPop Demon Hunters."

In third place, "Crime 101" made an estimated $15.1 million in its first three days. Amazon MGM Studios opened the Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo led Los Angeles-set thriller in 3,161 theaters. It's expected to pull in about $17.8 million by the end of Monday, but the movie has a long way to go to even hit its production budget, which reportedly exceeded $90 million. Audiences, who were 56% men, also gave "Crime 101" a B CinemaScore.

"Send Help" and "Solo Mio" rounded out the top five with $9 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Further down the charts, at No. 7, was Briarcliff Entertainment's sci-fi comedy"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die,"starring Sam Rockwell and Haley Lu Richardson. It made an estimated $3.6 million from 1,610 locations.

The Walt Disney Studios also celebrated a milestone this weekend, becoming the first studio to cross $1 billion at the global box office in 2026, driven almost entirely by "Avatar: Fire and Ash," but also helped by the continued success of "Zootopia 2," which remains in the top 10 after twelve weekends in theaters.

The weekend is down significantly from the same weekend last year, when"Captain America: Brave New World" opened, but the pace is starting to pick up and theaters have "Scream 7" and "Project Hail Mary" on the horizon.

"It's been a rather slow first quarter," Dergarabedian said. "But this could ignite a spark at the box office."

Top 10 movies by domestic box office

With final domestic figures being released Tuesday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore:

1. "Wuthering Heights," $34.8 million.

2. "GOAT," $26 million.

3. "Crime 101," $15.1 million.

4. "Send Help," $9 million.

5. "Solo Mio," $6.4 million.

6. "Zootopia 2," $3.8 million.

7. "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die," $3.6 million.

8. "Avatar: Fire and Ash," $3.3 million.

9. "Iron Lung," $3.1 million.

10. "Dracula," $3 million.

“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” showrunner admits to making a 'mistake' on “Game of Thrones” spinoff

Steffan Hill/HBO

This article contains spoilers fromA Knight of the Seven Kingdomsepisode 4, "Seven."

Knight of the Seven Kingdomsshowrunner Ira Parker is offering his apologies to all the Dunk and Egg diehards.

Thus far, theGame of Thronesprequel series has been celebrated for bringingGeorge R.R. Martin'sThe Hedge Knightnovella to life while being impressively faithful to the source material (an aspect of the show that Martin himself has repeatedly applauded). But Parker has alsotaken a few creative libertiesand made adaptational alterations — including a key conversation that the showrunner now regrets leaving out.

During a recentReddit AMA, a fan chided Parker for omitting a scene between Dunk (Peter Claffey) and blacksmith Steely Pate (Youssef Kerkour). The moment, which would have slotted into the show's fourth episode, comes as Dunk prepares to fight for his life in his Trial of the Seven. As the pair walk towards the arena together, Dunk is greeted by several smallfolk who pat him on the back and wish him luck in the upcoming trial by combat.

Steffan Hill/HBO

Dunk is confused and asks the blacksmith, "Why? Who am I to them?" Steely Pate replies, "A knight who remembered his vows."

The fan complained, "Many readers consider [this] to be the soul and the moral of the entire novella. The impact comes not just from the exchange itself, but its careful placement at Dunk's lowest point, before he realizes any champions have answered his call... It's an odd choice given how faithful you've otherwise been to the novella."

Parker offered a candid response to the criticism, writing, "Honestly it was a mistake on my part. Not my first, not my last on this show."

He continued, "That scene was in the script at one point, then fell out. I agree that 'a knight who remembers his vows' is the soul of this story, but I think that is still very much at the core of the show, even if I stupidly left out this scene. It may not be said explicitly, but Dunk's actions remain the same."

Below Parker's answer, several fans praised the showrunner for the sincere answer with one Redditor writing, "Your honesty is really refreshing."

To Parker's point, the sentiment that Dunk is appreciated for remembering his vows is echoed elsewhere in the episode by those who rally to his side, including Prince Baelor "Breakspear" Targaryen (Bertie Carvel), who arrives to fight beside him, stating, "This man protected the innocent, as every true knight must."

Steffan Hill/HBO

Elsewhere in the Reddit AMA, Parker fessed up to another mistake he made when one fan asked why Prince Maekar andPrince Aerionaren't wearing their personal coat of arms as described in the books. As the commenter pointed out, both princes wear the traditional Targaryen family heraldry, while in the book, they've added personal touches to the symbols on their armor.

"So far I've seen fans point [out] 2 mistakes in this show that I was unaware of," Parker replied. "This is one of them. Definitely should have had Maekar's... That would have made it soooo easy to distinguish him in the fog. Whoops."

Luckily, neither of those slip-ups prevented Parker from getting showered in praise by Martin, who has made it very clear that he "loved" all six episodes ofA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'first season. As for fans and critics, the series has earned glowing scores on Rotten Tomatoes (95% from critics, 73% from viewers) and IMDb (8.7 out of 10), with two episodes left to go.

What to know about the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance and the search for clues

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Law enforcement agents have been gathering more potential evidence as the search for "Today" show hostSavannah Guthrie's mother heads into its third week.

Savannah Guthrie Mom Missing

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Arizona home on Jan. 31 and was reported missing the following day. Authorities say her blood was found on the front porch. Purportedransom noteswere sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.

Authorities have expressed concern about Nancy Guthrie's health because she needs vital daily medicine. She is said to have a pacemaker and have dealt with high blood pressure and heart issues, according to sheriff's dispatcher audio on broadcastify.com.

On Thursday, the FBI called the person a suspect. It described him as a man about 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a medium build. The agency said he was carrying a 25-liter "Ozark Trail Hiker Pack" backpack.

Investigators initially said there was no surveillance video available since Guthrie didn't have an active subscription to the doorbell camera company. But digital forensics experts kept working tofind images in back-end softwarethat might have been lost, corrupted or inaccessible.

Studying DNA

Investigators collected DNA from Guthrie's property which doesn't belong to Guthrie or those in close contact with her, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said. Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to.

Evidence requiring forensic analysis is being sent to the same out-of-state lab that has been used since the beginning of the case, the department said.

Investigators found several gloves, the nearest about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from Guthrie's home, and submitted them for lab analysis, the sheriff's department said. It did not specify what type of gloves.

The sheriff stressed his department is working closely with the FBI.

A glove containing DNA found about two miles from the house of "Today" show hostSavannah Guthrie'smother appears to match those worn by a masked person outside her front door in Tucson the night she vanished, the FBI said Sunday.

The glove, discovered in a field beside a road, was sent for DNA testing. The FBI said in a statement that it received preliminary results Saturday and was awaiting official confirmation. The development comes as law enforcement gathers more potential evidence as the search for Guthrie's mother heads into its third week. Authorities had previously said they had not identified a suspect.

Teen girl whose Chicago father was detained in an immigration case dies from a rare cancer

A Chicago teen who spoke out for her father's release after he was detained last fall by immigration officials in a deportation case has died after battling a rare form of cancer.

Ofelia Giselle Torres Hidalgo, 16, died Friday from stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, the family said in a statement. Funeral arrangements are private.

The teenager was diagnosed in December 2024 with the aggressive form of soft tissue cancer and had been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

An immigration judge in Chicago ruled three days before Ofelia's death that her father,Ruben Torres Maldonado, was conditionally entitled to receive "cancellation of removal" due to the hardships his deportation would cause his children who were born in the United States and are US citizens, according to the statement sent by an attorney representing Torres Maldonado.

The ruling provides Torres Maldonado with a path to becoming a lawful permanent resident and eventual US citizenship, the statement said.

Ofelia was present via Zoom at last week's hearing.

"Ofelia was heroic and brave in the face of ICE's detention and threatened deportation of her father," said Kalman Resnick, Torres Maldonado's attorney. "We mourn Ofelia's passing, and we hope that she will serve as a model for us all for how to be courageous and to fight for what's right to our last breaths."

Torres Maldonado, a painter and home renovator, was detained October 18 at a Home Depot store in suburban Chicago as the area was at the center of a majorimmigration crackdowndubbed "Operation Midway Blitz," which began in early September.

Ofelia was undergoing treatment when she appeared in October in a video posted on a GoFundMe page set up for the family.

"My dad, like many other fathers, is a hard-working person who wakes up early in the morning and goes to work without complaining, thinking about his family," she said in the video. "I find it so unfair that hardworking immigrant families are being targeted just because they were not born here."

In a wheelchair,she attended a hearing for her father in October. The family's attorneys told a judge at that time that she was released from the hospital just a day before her father's arrest so she could see family and friends. They added Ofelia had been unable to continue treatment "because of the stress and disruption."

Torres Maldonado's attorneys petitioned for his release as his deportation case went through the system. A judge ordered a bond hearing after ruling in October his detention was illegal and violated Torres Maldonado's due process rights.

A judge later cited Torres Maldonado's lack of criminal historywhile allowing his release on a $2,000 bond.

Lawyers said Torres Maldonado entered the US in 2003. He and his partner, Sandibell Hidalgo, also have a younger son.

The Department of Homeland Security had alleged he had been living illegally in the US for years and has a history of driving offenses, including driving without a valid license, without insurance and speeding.
