For fantasy golf aficionados, celebrity golf provides fans the opportunity to construct a team full of their favorite pro athletes.
Unlike any of the other major sports, celebrity golf allows athletes accomplished in different sports and of varying ages to compete against one another. And fantasy golf allows fans to create a team full of their favorite current or retired athletes across all professional sports, including Patrick Mahomes, Steph Curry, Canelo, C.C. Sabathia and Miles Teller, plus Hall of Famers, Heisman Trophy winners and other NFL starting quarterbacks.
Introducing the 2023 American Century Championship Fantasy Golf Contest! It is free-to-play with first place prizes of $10,000 to your charity of choice and a free trip to next year’s tournament.
Win $10,000 to your favorite charity in the American Century Championship Fantasy Golf Contest
The American Century Championship Fantasy Golf Contest involves fans in an engaging, dynamic and competitive way. First, fans review the celebrity players and build their initial team by July 13 at www.accfantasygolf.com. The celebrity players are divided into five groups based on their level of play. Fans will pick one player from each of the five groups, a more difficult challenge than picking the best five players overall. Then, fans should tune into the American Century Championship July 14-16. If they aren’t happy with their team’s performance, they can change up their roster daily.
