NFL All-Pro kicker Robbie Gould will be one of the dozens of participants at next week’s American Century Celebrity Golf Championship near Lake Tahoe in Nevada.

The former San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears kicker will be one of the competitors looking to knock off former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who enters the event as the reigning champion.

"There’s a lot of excitement that goes around this week because, not only is it their 34th annual, I think this is like my 12th or 13th time playing in the event," Gould told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

"But it’s kind of a unique deal where you get to see some of your buddies, you get to see some clients you’ve played with or become friends with.

"For me, from a golf perspective, I’ve been playing a little bit more. It’s been fun to go with my kids. I just get excited to go out and see the 50,000 fans that are going to be there. Help raise money for charity. They’ve raised over $7 million for charity. This is the premier celebrity golf event. So, there’s a lot of excitement. Pretty pumped to get out there."

The Stowers Institute for Medical Research is the official charity of the tournament this year. Since 1990, the championship has donated 100% of its net proceeds to charity.
