Hall of Fame year for Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament
In its 29th year, Lake Tahoe’s celebrity golf tournament — the American Century Championshp — became a little more famous.
Baseball’s Trevor Hoffman, football’s Brian Urlacher and basketball’s Ray Allen will be inducted into their respective sports halls of fame this year, increasing to 16 the number Hall of Famers who will compete in the July 13-15 championship at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada.
“You don’t ever think about being one of those guys,” said Hoffman, 50, the great relief pitcher who attended media day at the course on Tuesday. “The full impact won’t hit me probably until when I land in Cooperstown.”
Two weeks before Hoffman makes his historic trip to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, he will compete in Tahoe with Hall of Fame brethren such as Jerry Rice, Greg Maddux, John Elway, Ozzie Smith and Marcus Allen.
