As far as celebrity tournaments go, things don’t get much more star-studded than the American Century Championship.
While a few familiar faces won’t be at this year’s event, celebrity athletes like Curry, Reaves, The Miz, Alex Caruso, and Drew Brees are set to be in the field. So are non-sports celebrities like Brian Baumgartner, Anthony Anderson, Colin Jost, and Rob Mac.
This year’s tournament will feature several newcomers, as well, including Hamilton, Macdonald, ESPN broadcaster Sean McDonough, NBA coach Doc Rivers, NHL star Brady Tkachuk, pop musician Brett Young, and NFL coach Robert Saleh.
A full list of participants can be found at NBCSports.com.
While several celebrity golfers are good enough to make a real run at the American Century Championship, the tournament has typically been won by current or former athletes.
Last year, for example, former NHL star Joe Pavelski took first place. The previous year, former Tennis star Mardy Fish won the American Century for the second time. Curry won it in 2023, while former NFL quarterback Tony Romo won for the third time in 2022.
The list of recent winners also includes former NBA player and coach Vinny Del Negro, former MLB pitcher Mark Mulder, and former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien. The last non-athlete to win was actor/singer Jack Wagner in 2011.
