This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Macdonald discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He discussed Super Bowl LX MVP Keneth Walker III signing with the Kansas City Chiefs during the offseason.
"I'm just learning who is actually in the (American Century Championship) tournament. So all these people look awesome to meet. Just going in with an open mind and have a good time," said Macdonald, "Take a deep breath on the first tee and take some of the coaching that we give our guys, not to let the pressure get to you. But everyone that I've talked to who's played in this tournament loves it. A good opportunity to play some great golf, be around family and friends, and meet some cool people."
Walker signed a maximum of $45M over three years, with $28.7M of his contract fully guaranteed to join the Chiefs' backfield. Seattle will host Kansas City in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football. Macdonald believes there will be positive energy from the Seattle crowd that night, especially after Walker returned for the Seattle ring ceremony.
"There's so much that needs to happen between now and then," said Macdonald, "We're all looking forward to seeing Ken (Kenneth Walker). I know he's excited to come back. We love Ken. We're rooting for him. Obviously, we'll be competing against him that night."
Last season with the Seahawks, Walker rushed for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns. He was also impactful in the passing game with 31 receptions for 282 yards.
"I'm sure the 12s will cheer him on. He's done a lot of great things for our team, our organization, and our fan base," said Macdonald. "We're rooting for him, but obviously we'll compete against him that night." I'm looking forward to seeing him tonight and seeing the smile on his face. I'm glad he got the contract that he did. He deserves it."
The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, over $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC/Peacock and a first-place prize of $150,000 make the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in golf.
