Several new faces will be in the field this summer at the celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood, along with many of the longtime fan favorites.
Among the newcomers, Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams is making his debut in the American Century Championship, set for July 12-16 at Edgewood.
More first-timers include comedian Nate Bargatze; Mike Golic, former NFL lineman and radio personality; Alex Killorn, forward with the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning; Zach LaVine, All-Star forward with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls; Baker Mayfield, quarterback with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers; Robert Saleh, coach of the New York Jets and a former San Francisco 49ers assistant; and JJ Watt, a former NFL All-Pro defensive end.
One notable absence is Justin Timberlake, who will not be able to play in this summer’s event due to a scheduling conflict.
The celebrity golf event at Edgewood, entering its 34th year, also raises funds for local and national charities and distributes a purse of $600,000. The tournament is a 54-hole modified Stableford format.
