AUDIO: American Century Champ. preview with Cincy Bengals LB A.J. Hawk

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


Cincinnati Bengals LB A.J. Hawk joins Ryan Ballengee to talk about the American Century Championship this weekend in Lake Tahoe, including the story behind a fan volunteering to get tackled by the Ohio State product. This is Hawk's seventh time competing in the event, which, for him, typically marks the final days of his offseason before heading to training camp and getting ready for the NFL season -- which, for the first time in his pro career, won't be with the Green Bay Packers.

The American Century Championship is a 54-hole celebrity golf tournament, including athletes and celebrities, played under the modified Stableford scoring system. This year, Justin Timberlake headlines, while mainstays like Aaron Rodgers and Charles Barkley return to entertain the rowdy crowd.

The event airs live on NBC Sports Network from 6-8 p.m. Eastern on Friday and on NBC from 3-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
