Celebrity Fantasy Golf: The American Century Championship Contest

Celebrity Fantasy Golf: The American Century Championship Contest

By Linsey Gilbert

For fantasy golf aficionados, celebrity golf provides fans with 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 – both active and retired – to compete against one another. Fantasy golf allows fans to create a team full of their favorites across the spectrum of all professional sports.

Imagine cheering for your chosen team made up of Aaron Rodgers, Albert Pujols, Jerry Rice, Blake Griffin and Baker Mayfield. Or, select from any number of  Hall of Famers, Heisman Trophy winners, NFL starting quarterbacks and All Stars from baseball, football, basketball, hockey and the worlds of comedy and entertainment (see categories of select players below).

Introducing the 2024 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 11:59 PT on July 11 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 12-14. If they aren’t happy with their team’s performance, they can change up their roster daily. 

One way to determine who you might include on your team is to check out Caesars Sportsbook odds to win here.

The 2024 American Century Championship lineup boasts newcomers Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco, Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson, former NBA All-Star Blake Griffin, Florida Panthers Stanley Cup-winning forward Matthew Tkachuk, The Bachelor host Chris Harrison, actor Rob McElhenney, Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves, Superbowl 2018 champion Jason Kelce and former MLS player Taylor Twellman.
