American Century Championship Sets 90-Celebrity Field as Friday and Saturday Tickets Sell Out

Q: Beyond the leaderboard, what has been the most viral celebrity moment from Lake Tahoe?

The most viral celebrity moment at Lake Tahoe appears to be **The Miz fumbling a snap from Jason Kelce and then getting “blitzed” by AJ Hawk** during American Century Championship festivities. That sequence, widely shared in highlight clips and social media posts, stood out because it mixed football-style chaos with the relaxed, comic atmosphere of the celebrity golf event. Rather than a golf shot or leaderboard move, it became a crossover moment featuring recognizable sports and entertainment figures in an unscripted bit of physical comedy. Other celebrity clips have circulated from Edgewood Tahoe, including Jason Kelce in “dad-mode,” Charles Barkley’s swing, Larry David’s on-course reactions, and Ray Allen’s birdie putt. But based on the available event coverage and online chatter, the Miz-Kelce-Hawk exchange has been the clearest breakout viral moment beyond the tournament competition itself.

Q: With Steph Curry in third, who are the surprising leaders at the American Century Championship?

With Steph Curry sitting third after Round 1, the leaders are Joe Pavelski and Mardy Fish. Pavelski, the former NHL star and defending champion, holds the top spot with 29 points in the tournament’s Modified Stableford format. Fish, the former tennis player, is in second place, making the early leaderboard notable for being topped by athletes better known for hockey and tennis rather than golf. Curry’s position in third keeps him firmly in contention, but the bigger surprise is Pavelski’s continued dominance and Fish’s strong start at Edgewood Tahoe. The event runs through Sunday, with the celebrity field competing over 54 holes.
