The American Century Championship’s best-ever field gets the spotlight in July with Joe Theismann, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Charles Barkley and a lineup that represents 16 Hall of Famers, 13 Most Valuable Players, and 15 Cy Young Award winners.
The American Century Championship in scenic Lake Tahoe features a purse of $600,000 and charity fundraising components that have produced over $5.5 for non-profits over the years. A first-place purse of $125,000 awaits the winner. The tournament takes place at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, a George Fazio design, has been rated by Golf Digest Magazine as one of “America’s Top 100 Golf Courses.”
Newly-retired future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees is part of the contingent of 39 current or former NFL players, coaches and Hall of Famers who tee it up at Edgewood Tahoe each year. Active players Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kyle Fuller, Robbie Gould, Travis Kelce, Patrick Peterson, Golden Tate and Adam Thielen all use the event as a final respite before the opening of NFL training camps each year.
The battle for the 2021 title is slated to include standout golfers like two-time champion Tony Romo, three-time champion Mark Mulder, PGA TOUR Champions exemption competitor John Smoltz and defending champion Mardy Fish, the U.S. Davis Cup Captain.
Newcomers to the tournament include Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott, New Orleans Saints star Taysom Hill, Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth, two-time New York Giants Super Bowl Champion Justin Tuck and former New York Yankees star pitcher CC Sabathia.
Theismann, an expert on the NFL and a member of the College Football Hall of Fame via his career at Notre Dame, is also famous for the memorable 1985 Monday night football injury suffered while being sacked by New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor. Enormously accomplished, his new book, “How to be a Champion Every Day” includes stories that amaze and delight audiences in the interviews and speeches that occupy his time, alongside golf with his celebrity friends.
