Celebrity Fantasy Golf: The American Century Championship Contest

Celebrity Fantasy Golf: The American Century Championship Contest

For fantasy golf aficionados, celebrity golf provides fans with the unique opportunity to construct a team full of their favorite pro athletes, active and retired.

Unlike any of the other major sports, celebrity golf enables athletes accomplished in different sports to compete against one another. And fantasy golf allows fans to create a team full of their favorites across the spectrum of professional sports and entertainment.

Imagine cheering for your chosen team made up of Aaron Rodgers, 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 2026 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 9 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 can tune into the American Century Championship July 10-12. If they aren’t happy with their team’s performance, they can change up their roster daily.

The 2026 American Century Championship lineup boasts several newcomers, including NFL All-Pro Kyle Hamilton; NFL head coach trifecta Mike Macdonald, Robert Saleh and Kevin O’Connell; NBA star Payton Pritchard of the Boston Celtics and former NBA coach Doc Rivers; NHL All-Star Brady Tkachuk; country singer Brett Young; and sports announcer Sean McDonough.
