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. And 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, Shane Victorino, Davante Adams, Steph Curry 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).

Here is the 2025 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 10 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 11-13. 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 2025 American Century Championship lineup boasts newcomers Pro-Bowl 49ers tight end George Kittle, show host and NFL Network commentator Rich Eisen, seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje, two-time Superbowl champion Justin Reid and Seattle Seahawks veteran quarterback Sam Darnold.
