This will be the 34th iteration of the American Century Championship Golf Tournament, with the reigning champion Tony Romo set to defend his crown.

Regarding the MLB, America's pastime will be well represented with 12 former players coming together for tournament action which runs from July 14 to July 16.

The former baseball stars that will be participating the in the tournament are Roger Clemens, Dexter Fowler, Jon Lester, Derek Lowe, Joe Mauer, Kevin Millar, Mark Mulder, John Smoltz, Shane Victorino, Tim Wakefield, David Wells and Jayson Werth.

While Mark Mulder may not be the biggest name among the MLB player participating the in the celebrity golf tournament, he has been the most successful.

From 2015 to 2017, Mulder had a dynasty going, winning the event three years in a row. The former Oakland Athletics pitcher nearly won his fourth title last year, falling to Tony Romo in the final event.

While Mulder will undoubtedly find himself as one of the favorites to walk away with the 2023 crown, it's unclear if any of the other competing MLB stars will put up much of a fight.
