An incredible Lake Tahoe home on this Tom Fazio design he called one of his best is on sale for $18 million

There is something magical about the Lake Tahoe region — crisp air and incredible summer golf.

There is something magical about the Lake Tahoe region — the crisp air, the picturesque mountain views, the world-class skiing and the incredible summer golf.

The American Century Championship attracts top celebrities to the region, and the Barracuda Championship has been an alternate-field PGA Tour event for years.

A home that hit the market highlights the best of the region, including a view of the 17th hole on the Lake Tahoe Martis Camp course that architect Tom Fazio said is one of the best he’s ever designed.

From the listing:

This 9,783-square-foot home, spread over two of Martis Camp’s most coveted homesites, is ideal for those who live large, dream big, and savor small details. With large bedrooms, a spacious terrace, and living spaces appearing throughout, this home embodies Martis Camp’s commitment to families and the power of connection. If you dream in shades of green fairways, you’ll appreciate this home’s location with the practice field out the front door, the 17th green of the Tom Fazio course beyond the back patio, and the Camp Lodge and pro shop a par 5 stroll down the street. That same crescent-shaped patio is enhanced by one of the most pristine settings in all of Tahoe, with forest, flowers and panoramas of Lookout Mountain.

Here’s a look at the hole, which can play up to 227 yards from the tips.

Here’s a look at the home, which is currently for sale for $17,999,000.

Travis Kelce delightfully kissed a man’s arm after he hit the guy with a golf shot in Lake Tahoe

Travis knew how to make this fan’s arm feel better.

FORE!

Travis Kelce and his brother Jason are in Lake Tahoe for the 2024 American Century Championship, in which athletes and celebrities hit the links together.

But apparently, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hit a shot that nailed a fan in the crowd in the first hole. So video shows Travis walking up to the dude to shake his hand. But then he gave the man a memory he’ll never forget.

Travis leaned down and kissed the guy’s arm where the ball hit him. The crowd loved it and so did I. Too good.

Check out the video of the moment below:

2024 Lake Tahoe American Century Championship: 20 photos of athletes (Jason Kelce!) and celebrities (Miles Teller!) teeing off

Check out the big names teeing it up this weekend.

It’s that time again in Lake Tahoe!

The 2024 American Century Championship is here, and that usually means some big celebrity and athlete names teeing off, from Aaron Rodgers to Miles Teller to Charles Barkley.

But it also could mean we might get some fun antics between players and fans (or players and players themselves). Maybe Charles Barkley will do something funny. Maybe we’ll see some dancing like we saw out of Alfonso Ribeiro and Justin Timberlake back in 2015.

So here’s a look at some of those notable names from quarterbacks to actors to point guards who are playing this week:

John Smoltz has ‘no more doubt’ after getting hit in the head prior to American Century Championship

Smoltz said it was the scariest trauma he has endured.

Getting hit in the head might be the jolt John Smoltz needs to win this week at Edgewood Tahoe.

Year in and year out, Smoltz has been one of the top contenders in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, but he has never won at Edgewood.

But about three weeks ago, he was drilled in the forehead by an errant golf shot.

Smoltz, who played Major League Baseball for 21 seasons and is now a TV announcer for MLB, said it was the scariest trauma he has endured.

“I’ve never been hit, played a million rounds. I got hit right above the eye, 100 miles an hour. Had to go to the hospital,” Smoltz said Thursday at Edgewood. “I think what it did, it knocked out my brain of doubt. So maybe I have no more doubt. But I am very fortunate to be here. Honestly, I have been playing good as ever since I got hit in the head three weeks ago with a golf ball.”

He’s also fortunate the MLB All-Star game is next week, instead of the week before the celebrity golf tournament, as it usually is.

“Typically I fly in after the All-Star Game and try to put everything together. So I’ve been here this week, and it’s been enjoyable,” he said.

Jimmy Fallon vs. DJ Khaled going mano a mano on the golf course? It’s happening this weekend in Lake Tahoe

The winner receives a special red cardigan and bragging rights.

Jimmy Fallon and DJ Khaled are not participating in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe this week, but they will be competing in a special challenge golf match on Saturday.

Fallon is the host of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and Khaled is a Grammy-nominated producer and record executive. The two discussed the event on Fallon’s show.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=442621752085027

Fallon vs. Khaled will begin on the par-3 17th hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course and will be a four-hole match (holes 17 and 18 twice), with the winner receiving a special red cardigan and bragging rights. The match will take place following the conclusion of Saturday’s third round at approximately 3:30 p.m.

The special challenge match will be open to the public, with spectators purchasing tickets to the American Century Championship Saturday having access to watch Fallon vs. Khaled.

Watch: ‘Beautiful’ sight as bears pass beneath skiers on chairlift

Skier who captured the footage says the sighting at Heavenly Resort helped “solidify this place as most beautiful.”

Last week we shared footage showing a black bear sprinting across a ski lift at Heavenly Mountain Resort and nearly colliding with the skier who captured the footage.

On what appears to have been the same day, last Sunday, a different Heavenly skier captured the accompanying footage showing a momma bear and two cubs passing beneath a chairlift.

Nolan Brown stated via Instagram:

“Been skiing Heavenly my whole life, never seen anything like this. From the family of bears and the fog covered lake to the sun peaking over the mountain on first chair, it solidifies this place as most beautiful.”

A post shared by Nolan Brown (@nolannbrown)

Heavenly is in South Lake Tahoe on the California-Nevada border. The Sierra Nevada region boasts a  large black bear population, but most of the bruins have denned up for the winter by early December.

Watch: Bear charging across snow nearly collides with skier

A skier at Heavenly Resort in South Lake Tahoe on Sunday captured footage of his near-collision with a large black bear that charged in front of him as he descended the slope.

A skier at Heavenly Resort in South Lake Tahoe on Sunday captured footage of his near-collision with a large black bear that charged in front of him as he descended the slope.

The accompanying footage originally appeared on TikTok via the user, @Tao7570, who shared the clip with ABC 10 News.

The user also shared the footage as a Facebook reel with the description: “Almost hit a bear skiing down Ridgerun [at] Heavenly. Didn’t realize it was a bear until it was too close.”

As viewers can see, the bear is intent on crossing the ski run and has to navigate through downhill skiers and snowboarders. The bear almost collides with the TikTok user, who keeps his camera phone trained on the fleeing bruin.

At no point did the bear act menacingly toward the skiers as it bounded toward and into the wilderness.

Although South Lake Tahoe is famous for its black bear population, most of the animals have denned up for the winter.

Steph Curry makes hole-in-one at American Century Championship

Buckets!

Steph Curry has been all over the place lately.

A few weeks ago, he and Golden State Warrior teammate Klay Thompson played in the latest edition of The Match series opposite Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs at the Wynn in Las Vegas. The Splash Brothers went on to lose.

This week, Curry is back on the golf course, this time at the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe.

And now he has a highlight to show his buddies.

During the second round, Curry canned a hole-in-one at the par-3 seventh after birdieing the sixth.

He currently leads the event.
