WATERLOO, Iowa—The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum just picked up one of the most influential voices in all of sports to headline its premier event of the year. Mike Golic will attend the Dan Gable Celebrity Golf Tournament as its featured celebrity.

The Dan Gable Museum will host its 15th annual Dan Gable Celebrity Golf Tournament on Friday, June 6 at Centennial Oaks Country Club in Waverly, Iowa.

“Having Mike Golic involved with the Dan Gable Celebrity Golf Tournament takes us to the next level,” said museum namesake Dan Gable. “I appreciate his passion for the sport of wrestling and for his commitment to excellence. I’m excited to have Mike in Waterloo and Waverly this summer.”

Golic is best known as co-host of the “Mike and Mike” show on ESPN. He played eight years in the NFL for the Houston Oilers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Miami Dolphins as a defensive tackle. Golic also played football and wrestled for Notre Dame.

“My love for wrestling has always equaled my love for football,” said Golic. “So to be associated with anything Dan Gable related is an honor.”

Four-person teams will be paired with a celebrity in this 18-hole, best ball tournament. Cost is $150 per person (you may register as a team or as an individual). Cost includes dinner, green fees, and cart. Dinner and live auction will follow the golf tournament with Dan Gable as the guest speaker. There are also sponsorship opportunities for interested businesses.

Jerry Roling Motors and Roling Ford are the presenting sponsors of this year’s Dan Gable Celebrity Golf Tournament. State Bank of Waverly is this year’s Olympic champion sponsor.
