“The AmFam Champ field is as strong as ever," said Nate Pokrass, tournament director. "Hosting this year’s event at our new home at TPC Wisconsin sets the stage for dynamic play and thrilling moments."

The second round on Saturday will feature a celebrity foursome event with Mia Hamm, Justin Herbert and Charles Woodson joining North for a charity exhibition starting at 2 p.m. CST.

The American Family Insurance Championship was established in 2016 by American Family Insurance along with PGA TOUR Champions player Steve Stricker. Since its inception, it has raised $19.7 million for various charities including the American Family Children’s Hospital.
