Stateline, NV – In anticipation of the 2026 American Century Championship this weekend, I got the chance to speak with WWE superstar The Miz at The Caesars Celebrity Pro-Am in Stateline, Nevada, on Wednesday. The Miz will be one of 90 celebrities taking part in NBC's annual celebrity golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort from Friday to Sunday (July 10-12). The tournament will air on NBC, the NBC Sports Network, and Peacock.
With The Miz playing in the tournament for the fifth time, I asked him about which WWE superstar could potentially join him in the field one day. I first asked about Trick Williams, who The Miz was teammates with during the "Squad Games" event, competing against the Dude Perfect group, along with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Je'Von Evans. Williams was a receiver for the South Carolina Gamecocks and was a standout athlete during the "Squad Games," like The Miz.
The Awesome One isn't so sure Trick Willie and his Lemon Pepper Steppers could hang on the golf course with the ACC field, though.
"I don't know if he could play golf that well. I don't think he plays golf on the regular, and I feel like to be here, you need to play golf on the regular. You really do. In the ring, he's unstoppable. Unbelievable. I mean, he has literally been one of the superstars that, of the up-and-coming superstars, that you go, 'That guy's gonna be a star. He's got it.' He has it all. For sure. On the golf course, not sure," The Miz said.
