Welcome to the 2nd Annual Grillin’ McMillian Celebrity Golf Tournament, taking place on May 22, 2027, at the beautiful Sedona Golf Resort, and hosted by former NFL star, chef, speaker, and community advocate Mark “Grillin’” McMillian.
This exciting annual event brings together golfers, celebrity athletes, local businesses, sponsors, and community supporters for an unforgettable day of competition, camaraderie, great food, and giving back.

His commitment to giving back is at the heart of everything he does, making him not only a celebrated athlete and personality, but a true champion for the next generation.
