C.J. Spiller isn’t the only one playing golf this offseason. While Spiller is playing this afternoon at Centerpointe Golf Club in Canandaigua to benefit the YMCA’s in Ontario County, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Shawne Merriman will be out west in mid-July playing for the LIVESTRONG charity.

Fitz and Merriman have accepted invitations to compete in the 2012 American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe this summer. The $600,000, 54-hole competition is set for July 20-22 at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.

In checking the odds at the local Sportsbook right there in Tahoe they list Merriman as a 40 to 1 shot to win, while Fitz is at 15 to 1. The favorite is Dallas QB Tony Romo at 5 to 2.
