The 2024 American Century annual celebrity golf tournament is underway at Lake Tahoe this weekend at Edgewood Golf Course. The tourney, played along the shoreline in gorgeous Lake Tahoe, is usually stocked with athletes and celebrities trying to showcase their golf skills...or lack thereof.

But today on the course this family appeared to be the real stars of the tournament. A mama bear and her two cubs were seen walking across the course in the middle of play as players, officials and spectators surprisingly watched the bears casually made their way across the fairway and back into the beautiful Lake Tahoe wilderness nearby

Unclear if its the same Lake Tahoe bear that recently stole some beers from my pickup!

🐻 Whoa, a viewer saw this bear grabbing a cooler off a truck near Tahoe City on Monday. The bear ended up stealing the workers’ lunch.
