Zimmer, Thielen to Play in Lake Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tourney

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer and receiver Adam Thielen will be part of an NFL contingent of golfers at the American Century Championship celebrity tournament in Lake Tahoe this summer, organizers announced on Wednesday.

Zimmer and Thielen will be joined by fellow first-time participants: legendary defensive back Charles Woodson, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson. They will play golf and participate in celeb-am events in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, from July 14-16.

Thielen was a member of Detroit Lakes High School’s state championship golf team.

The American Century Championship is in its 28th year and has donated more than $4 million to charity.
