More than 80 celebrity golfers are back in South Lake Tahoe this summer, playing in the 37th annual American Century Championship at beautiful Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
The three-day tournament will feature sports stars, including Hall of Famers from the NFL, NBA and MLB, active and retired players, and Hollywood actors, comedians, and entertainers. The 54-hole event starts Friday, July 10 and there are practice rounds July 8-9.
Daily general admission tickets and week-long grounds badges will be available online here, beginning midnight Wednesday, April 1. Tickets are only available online through the official American Century Championship channel.
For active duty and retired veterans, a limited supply of complimentary tickets for one person plus a guest for either Wednesday or Thursday rounds, are also available beginning April 1.
The celebrity golf tournament has received player commitments from fan favorites that include Stephen Curry, Charles Barkley, Travis and Jason Kelce, Colin Jost, Tony Romo, Miles Teller, Ray Romano, Nate Bargatze, Rob Mac, Larry the Cable Guy and Jack Wagner, who along with Jim McMahon, are the only two players who’ve competed in every tournament.
The field will also include current NFL standouts – Baker Mayfield, Davante Adams, Trevor Lawrence, Kyle Juszczyk and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. NFL Hall of Famers include Jerry Rice, Charles Woodson, Brian Urlacher and Dwight Freeney.

The fan-favorite event has players and galleries enjoying beachfront and mountain views between the action. Boats line the stretch of the course along the scenic par-3, 17th hole. Spectators directly along the green enjoy good-natured bantering with the players as they shoot free throws at the temporary basketball hoop adjacent to the tee box and toss footballs and souvenirs to fans.
The 2026 American Century Championship will utilize the Modified Stableford format where points are awarded by score per hole. Edgewood, a George Fazio design, has been rated by Golf Digest Magazine as one of “America’s Top 100 Golf Courses.”
Since its inception in 1990, the American Century Championship has donated more than $8 million to local and national non-profits.
