RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Donald Trump will take the role of apprentice himself when he plays at the American Century golf tournament for the first time.
Trump, comedian Jimmy Fallon and actors Kurt Russell and Luke Wilson are among the first-time players entered to play July 16-18 on the shores of Lake Tahoe, officials for NBC Sports said Sunday.
"The pressure will be on and I'll have to perform," Trump said in a statement he issued through his office in New York.
"It's a tournament that has both big names and serious competition."
Tourney regulars Michael Jordan, John Elway, Mario Lemieux and Mark McGwire will return for the 54-hole event with a $500,000 purse.
Other newcomers include NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Trent Green, Carson Palmer and David Carr, along with singer Nick Lachey and talk-show host Carson Daly.
