Josh Allen Returns to American Century Championship
Buffalo Bills’ quarterback, Josh Allen, is gearing up for another round of the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe this July. The reigning NFL MVP took to his Instagram account, @joshallenqb, to share his excitement about participating in the upcoming event. With the tournament scheduled for July 9-13 in South Lake Tahoe, Allen is set to join other NFL Quarterback Club members like Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, and John Elway in this prestigious three-round competition that follows a Modified Stableford scoring format.
Allen’s Past Performances and Progress
In the 2024 edition of the tournament, Allen showcased his golfing skills by finishing tied for 20th place on the individual leaderboard, outscoring notable football figures like John Elway and Brian Urlacher. His impressive performance marked an improvement from the previous year, where he secured a 37th-place finish. Known for his prowess in throwing the long ball on the football field, Allen surprised many with his finesse in sinking a birdie chip shot on the 11th hole during Round 1, outshining Mahomes once again.
Injury Concerns and Absence
Despite his strong showing on the golf course, Allen’s absence from the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, coinciding with the Pro Bowl weekend, raised eyebrows. Speculations pointed to a hand injury sustained during the AFC Championship Game as the reason behind his non-participation. Allen addressed the issue during a locker cleanout day in Orchard Park, emphasizing the impact of the injury on his availability for the event.
As Allen gears up for another shot at glory in the American Century Championship, fans and fellow competitors eagerly await to see if the NFL star can outscore his rivals once again on the golf greens.
