Fans interested in picking their favorite team have until Thursday, July 11, at midnight PDT, to select their favorite athletes and celebrities for a chance to win some big prizes.
There are four trips for two to the 2025 tournament and a $10,000 donation to a charity of the winner’s choice.
Defending champion Stephan Curry will not be back to attempt a title defense as his focus is on the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, there are plenty of notable names in the field.
One of the most prominent newcomers is Jason Kelce, a recently retired NFL offensive lineman and future Hall of Famer.
He will join his brother, the 2024 Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, a fan favorite, at this event. Other notable NFL names include three-time ACC winners Tony Romo, Josh Allen, Larry Fitzgerald, Aaron Rodgers, and others.
Over 80 sports legends and celebrities will compete in the annual golf tournament on beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Here is how fantasy golf works:
Fans can visit www.accfantasygolf.com to build their initial team by July 11. Much like last year, the celebrities are divided into five groups based on their golf skills.
Participants will select one player from each of the five groups. Then fans should watch the American Century Championship action July 12-14.
Friday’s coverage will be live on Peacock from 4-6 p.m. ET, or fans can watch a replay on Golf Channel from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. ET.
Saturday and Sunday will feature live coverage from NBC and Peacock from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET.
If fans do not like their initial fantasy team, they can change their lineup the following day. Changes can be made daily.
The overall winner will be awarded $10,000 to donate to a charity of their choice. Four trips for two are also available to win for the 2025 tournament.
After creating a fantasy lineup, participants can share their picks on social media. To follow along and join in on the tournament discourse, use the #ACCgolf and #ACCFantasyGolf.
