Is there a party hole at the American Century Championship?
There sure is: the par-3 17th at Edgewood. It runs along the beach and is filled with music and fans and boats and booze and footballs and basketballs and so much that you don't see at a regular golf tournament.

‘Wicked' Concert Special Featuring Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Sets Air Date
NBC's upcoming Wicked concert special finally has a broadcast date, with the network announcing Wednesday (July 9) when fans will get to watch Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's live performances of songs from the musical. Arriving just a few weeks ahead of Wicked: For Good, the special will air on NBC at 8 p.m. ET on Nov. 6. The following day, the concert will become available for streaming on Peacock. More from Billboard Everything We Know About 'Wicked: For Good' (So Far) The Iconic Lacoste Polo Is 60% Off With This Amazon Prime Day Deal Free People's Viral Barrel Jeans Have the Internet Divided Over Their Stylishness (and They're Almost Out of Stock) According to a release, the showcase will last two hours and feature music from the first Wicked film — along with possible selections from the sequel, which will hit theaters Nov. 21. It'll take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The air-date announcement comes two months after NBC first shared that the Billboard Hot 100-topping star and Tony winner would reunite on stage for a Wicked special event. The concert is expected to bolster the hype around Part 2's premiere, which will come almost exactly a year after the first film in the duology dropped. As of late May, Part 1 had grossed more than $755.9 million worldwide. 'She's able to access her rage more,' Erivo recently told Billboard of what happens to Elphaba in the upcoming film. 'The scent I wore changed. The makeup changed. Little shifts that bring you to a more mature version of who Elphaba becomes. And she is delicious in this next one.' Erivo and Grande haven't performed much Wicked material together offscreen, although they did join forces at the 2025 Oscars to sing 'Defying Gravity' together on stage. The former also performed 'Home' from The Wiz while the latter belted out 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' from The Wizard of Oz; later that night, Wicked took home best costume design and best production design.
