Former NHL Player Joe Pavelski Leads American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament

DOUGLAS COUNTY, NEVADA, JUL 11 – Aaron Rodgers reunited with longtime friend Carol Sargent at Lake Tahoe during a celebrity golf event featuring top athletes and supporting charities with $750,000 in prize money.

  • Joe Pavelski, a recently retired NHL player, led the first round at the celebrity golf event held at Edgewood Tahoe in Nevada on Friday.
  • The event employs a scoring system designed to reward more aggressive play, and Pavelski’s impressive early performance reflects his continued commitment to enhancing his game following retirement.
  • Vinny Del Negro, second with 22 points and the 2021 winner, trailed Pavelski by one, while Stephen Curry and Taylor Twellman tied for third with 21 points each.
  • Charles Barkley, who has historically had difficulties at Edgewood, impressed with an 88-yard eagle worth six points, contributing to a total of nine points that left him tied for 24th place in the 90-player field—far exceeding sportsbook expectations, which had set his odds around finishing no higher than 65th.
  • The tournament continues over the weekend with live coverage on NBC Sports, Golf Channel, and Peacock, highlighting how retired athletes like Pavelski remain competitive in high-profile celebrity events.
