One of the most entertaining competitions on the golf schedule is the American Century Championship, filled every year with performers, actors, and individuals from different sports. The South Tahoe event often has a friendly atmosphere. The club, which opened in 1968, has been the American Century Championship's host venue since 1990.
The celebrity golf tournament established a niche and grew over time to become the top event in the sport after being developed as substitute programming for NBC during the MLB strike in 1990. Some of the biggest celebrities and athletes in the world have visited to enjoy its proximity to Lake Tahoe.
In its 54-hole competition, the American Century Championship deploys modified Stableford rules. Following are the points awarded: Par is worth one point, a double eagle is worth ten, birdies are worth three, holes-in-one are worth eight, bogey is worth zero, and a double bogey is worth minus two.
