Stateline, California

Stateline (formerly Lakeside and Laphams) is a former unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California, now incorporated into South Lake Tahoe, California. It lies at an elevation of 6,279 feet (1914 m) ASL. As its name suggests, it is at the state line with Nevada, and mirrors the adjacent community of the same name. The name Laphams commemorates William W. Lapham who opened a hotel here in the 1850s. The pony express route ran through the community circa 1861 on the leg between Friday's Station and Yanks. A post office operated at Stateline from 1901. It was along the Lincoln Highway Sierra Nevada Southern Route by 1916. The locale acquired the name Lakeside between 1930 and 1955; then was changed to Stateline thereafter. The community was a subject in an interstate border dispute. After a 1980 US Supreme Court ruling, the community of Stateline was nominally moved east, and the California portion dissolved into South Lake Tahoe. The currently accepted interstate border is marked by the 1893 US CGS Federal Survey Monuments No. 1, No. 2, and No.3. Disturbing survey monuments is illegal. as is land title fraud.

American Century Championship

The American Century Championship (currently known as the American Century Championship for sponsorship reasons; previously known as the Celebrity Golf Tournament, the Isuzu Celebrity Golf Championship, and the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship) is a celebrity golf tournament. It is scheduled for the second full week of July. The American Century Championship is always held at the same location: Edgewood Tahoe Resort, a golf resort in the western United States, on the south shore of Lake Tahoe in Stateline, Nevada. The tournament has a number of traditions. These traditions include the Long Drive Challenge, Charity Chip Challenge, and the Korbel Hole-In-One Contest. Rick Rhoden has won the most American Century Championships, with eight between 1991 and 2009. Dan Quinn won five between 1992 and 2012. Billy Joe Tolliver won four between 1996 and 2013. Two have won three titles at Edgewood: Mark Mulder and Tony Romo. Two have won two titles at Edgewood: Actor Jack Wagner and Mark Rypien. Wagner is the only non-professional athlete to have won the event, and Mulder is the only one to win three consecutive. The profession with the most wins is football (12), followed by baseball (11), ice hockey (6), acting (2), basketball (2), and tennis (1). Only five times in the history of the tournament has an active professional athlete emerged as the winner; Mark Rypien (1990), Dan Quinn (1992), Billy Joe Tolliver (1996), Al Del Greco (2000), and Stephen Curry (2023). Edgewood Tahoe Resort first opened in 1968. The golf course was originally designed by George Fazio and opened in 1968. George's nephew Tom Fazio has since renovated the now 7,379-yard (6,747 m) course from time to time.
