**WWE Star The Miz Prepares for American Century Championship Golf Tournament**
WWE superstar The Miz, also known as Mike Mizanin, is set to compete in the 36th American Century Championship, a renowned celebrity golf tournament. The event will take place from July 9-13 at the picturesque Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, located on the California-Nevada border. After a challenging performance last year, The Miz is eager to improve his standing in this year’s competition.
In a recent interview, The Miz shared his commitment to excelling at the ACC, revealing that he has launched his own golf YouTube channel, “Miz Golf.” He has been training rigorously with top golf instructors, including George Gankas and James Leadbetter. “I feel very good. I feel like my swing is better than it’s ever been,” he stated. “My understanding of the game has gotten way better. It’s just about applying those rules and getting in the reps.”
The Miz expressed confidence in his abilities, aiming to outperform former NBA star Charles Barkley this year. “I’m going to beat Charles Barkley this year, and I am not going to be at the tail end like I usually am on Sunday. I feel like I’m going to be at least in the middle of the pack,” he said.
The American Century Championship attracts a star-studded lineup of athletes and celebrities, including Stephen Curry, Tony Romo, Colin Jost, and Ray Romano. For The Miz, the excitement of playing in front of a large audience adds to the pressure. “I feel the pressure from the audience,” he explained. “Here, there are thousands of people. You get an adrenaline rush when they announce your name.”
Reflecting on his first experience at the ACC, The Miz recalled the anticipation of competing against Barkley. “Everyone told me, ‘Hey, at least you’ll beat Charles, right?’ But Charles has improved significantly. His swing is incredible now,” he noted.
As the tournament approaches, The Miz is focused on his training and ready to showcase his skills on the golf course.
