Packers fans will be able to watch Aaron Rodgers on the golf course in a pair of televised events – Green Bay Press Gazette

Whether Aaron Rodgers shows up at Green Bay Packers training camp later this month remains a big question mark, but count on him next week at the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Rodgers has beena regular at the celebrity golf tournament that will welcome back fans July 6-11after spectators werent allowed last year due to COVID-19 protocols. Pairings have not yet been announced for the first round on July 9, but the list of golfers includes plenty of Rodgers' buddies.

Miles Teller is one of them. Rodgers and fiancee Shailene Woodley vacationed in Hawaii in May with the actor and his wife, Keleigh Sperry Teller, who posted Instagram photos of the foursome hiking and swimming.

Brian Baumgartner, theactor who played Kevin Malone on the American version of The Office, first met Rodgers at the American Century Championship in 2008. He told People Nowin 2020 that was his first year at the event, and he was sitting next to a guy at a blackjack table who told him he was a big fan.

It turned out he was Aaron Rodgers. I had no idea who he was. No clue. This is the summer before he became a starter," Baumgartner said. "I was like, Oh, youre the Cal guy who's never going to play because of Brett Favre, right? And we became very, very good friends since that time.
