The Lake Tahoe summer is about to get epic, Steph Curry is returning to the American Century Championship, and the golf world is buzzing. After nabbing the tournament title in 2023 with a jaw-dropping hole-in-one and an eagle putt that left fans speechless, the basketball legend is back and ready to defend his crown.

Star-Studded Showdown on the Green

Caesars Sportsbook is placing Curry and last year’s champion Mardy Fish at the top of the odds, with a tantalizing 2.4-1 chance of winning. But he’s not the only heavyweight in this celebrity golf battle. NHL star Joe Pavelski sits at 3-1, while TV analyst Tony Romo follows closely at 4.5-1. The tournament looks more like an all-star reunion than a golf competition.

More Than Just a Game

This isn’t just about bragging rights. The American Century Championship has raised over $8 million for national and regional non-profits, turning athletic competition into community impact. With 92 athletes competing, including NBA guards Austin Reaves and Alex Caruso, and even WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert making her tournament debut, the event promises high-stakes entertainment.

Underdogs and Dark Horses

While Curry and Fish lead the pack, some intriguing long-shots are turning heads. Charles Barkley, the basketball Hall of Famer, sits at a wild 7500-1 odds, proving that in golf, anything can happen. New entries like Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce, and Trevor Lawrence add unexpected excitement to the tournament.

The event is already sold out for Saturday, but week-long passes are still available. Tickets can be purchased online. Get ready for a week of athletic drama, unexpected shots, and Lake Tahoe summer magic.
