While Elway has accumulated almost a quarter century of this tournament on his golfing resume, current Bronco quarterback, Tim Tebow, is making his first appearance at the high-altitude golf tournament. With a proven history of winning on the college grid iron and still attempting to establish himself as a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL, it is unknown what kind of golf game Tim Tebow will bring this week. Given the fact Tebow is a natural competitor, I am confident Tebow will look to play well, rather than just make an appearance.
In addition to the Broncos being represented, many other teams in the NFL are also represented by current and former players and coaches. Former Bronco coach and current Washington Redskin head coach, Mike Shanahan, is also participating in the golf tournament. Among others are Jared Allen, Marcus Allen, Matt Cassel, Todd Haley, Jim McMahon, Jerry Rice, Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Matt Ryan, and Wes Welker.
The tournament will be televised on Versus Friday, July 15 (1-4 p.m. PT) and on NBC Saturday, July 16 and Sunday, July 17 (noon – 3 p.m. PT)
