Celebrities signing on for Tahoe golf tourney

Future Major League Baseball hall of famers Chipper Jones and Iván Rodríguez are the latest to join the field of 80 sports legends and entertainment celebrities at the 24th annual American Century Championship.

The annual celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe is July 16-21.

Tournament officials are not following Nike’s lead, which abandoned its affiliation with Livestrong, the charity that Lance Armstrong started. Livestrong will continue to be one of the charities the tournament will support.

Other stars who will be at this year’s tournament are: Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Aaron Rodgers, Stephen Curry, John Elway, Bode Miller, Ray Romano, Larry the Cable Guy, Jerry Rice, Brian Urlacher and J.R. Smith.

While Colin Kaepernick was invited, he will not be attending.

Other first-timers at this year’s tournament include former MLB All-Star Tim Wakefield, NFL Hall of Famer John Randle; former NFL Pro-Bowl wide receiver Andre Reed, former NBA All-Star Detlef Schrempf; and blue collar comedians Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall.

Advance tickets are available online. Discount tickets are also being sold at 127 Raley’s, Nob Hill and Bel Air grocery store locations throughout Northern California and Nevada. During the tournament, tickets are available daily at the gate.
