Stateline, NV – Jack Wagner has won the American Century Championship twice, in 2006 and 2011. Ahead of the 2026 American Century Championship, I got a chance to speak to the former General Hospital star at the Caesars Celebrity Pro AM Golf Tournament on Wednesday. I asked what his remaining goals were besides being the third three-time winner, along with former NFL quarterback Tony Romo and former MLB ace Mark Mulder.
Wagner simply wants to be part of the 85-plus celebrity field for NBC's annual celebrity golf tournament moving forward. He also wants to continue proving he has plenty left in the tank at 66 years old.
"So every year, I'm really, really grateful to get the invite," Wagner said. "If I can be competitive, I'm 66 years old…That's my goal. As you get older, you lose that grind part; you think you have it, but you don't. That's my goal, to keep my grind up this year."
In speaking to the tournament's growth, Wagner explained why the event is one of a kind for the celebrities and fans.
