The championship offers not only an amazing golf experience but also impressive prize money to attract golfers from around the world. As the excitement builds, fans are eager to know what’s at stake. The answer? A lucrative purse that is sure to match the talents competing for it!

With a generous sponsor like American Century Investments, the championship’s total prize purse is $750,000. The winner will take home a whopping $150,000 along with the trophy, which is surely a dream for many golfers out there. Think that’s all there is? Well, you’re wrong!

The third-place finisher will receive a decent amount of $40,000 as a reward for their hard work. To make it even better, the fourth- and fifth-place finishers will receive $30,000 and $25,000, respectively. The celebrity golf tournament also raises funds for local and national charities.

This shows that American Century Investments cares about the players as much as it cares about the sport! Speaking of players, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is among the many celebrities competing at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, and one thing is for sure: he has been having the time of his life.

Travis Kelce’s performance so far

Whether it is the NFL or golf, Kelce’s performance is winning hearts. Friday’s round in the 2024 American Century Championship was eventful, to say the least. Kelce’s amazing tee shot struck a fan; however, the fan was not injured. But Kelce, being Kelce, apologized to the fans by kissing them on the shoulder. His few shots have been pretty average, and fans mocked him on the course by saying he still has something other players don’t!

One cheeky fan couldn’t resist rubbing it in and shouting, “That’s alright, you still got Taylor,” when Kelce’s bad luck struck again with another poor tee shot at Saturday’s round. But the star player was not upset about the comments at all. Not shying away from showing off his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift, he said, “You ain’t lying there.”

With the amazing golfers teeing to win the championship, the competition is heating up! It will surely be incredible to see who, out of all these incredible players competing for the trophy, will be able to win the 2024 American Century Championship! Do you have any guesses?
