Thursday pairings for American Century Championship

LAKE TAHOE, Nev. - The 34th celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe doesn't get underway until Friday, but before that, a Celebrity Pro-Am will be held on Thursday with two shotgun start tee times.

The American Century Championship offers a purse of $600,000 and network television exposure on NBC and is the most prestigious celebrity tournament in golf. The 54-hole competition is for current and former professional athletes, entertainers, and media commentators. The tournament is contested among 90 competitors under a modified Stableford form.

Last year's winner, Tony Romo, is favored to win again with Mardy Fish right behind him, according to the oddsmakers.

Thursday is usually the best day for autographs. The players are not supposed to give autographs during the actual tournament but sometimes can be found after their round to sign that program.
