This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Actor Brian Baumgartner about his participation in this year’s American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe, and his thoughts on Super Bowl LIX and the Kansas City Chiefs moving forward.
Baumgartner, known for his role as Kevin Malone on the hit show The Office, hosted the official media day for this year’s tournament.
“Thank you for asking me a sports-related question,” said Baumgartner, “I mean, look, it’s two unbelievable teams. It was a lot of fun. I won some money, and so that’s all I care about. I think it’s going to be really, really interesting this year in the AFC. I’m not calling the Chiefs done by any means, but I think the AFC is going to be really competitive. Don’t be surprised if the Packers make a run this year in the NFC.”
Baumgartner, a well-known Green Bay Packers fan, hopes his team will take another step forward in 2025. He will be among the many celebrities competing next month, including Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC and a first-place prize of $150,000 make the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.
