Larry Fitzgerald is coming back … to the Cologuard Classic.
The former Cardinals wide receiver will participate in the tournament’s Celebrity Challenge for the second year in a row. He will be joined by Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson.
Fitzgerald and Dickerson will play with two previously announced participants: World Golf Hall of Famer and former University of Arizona standout Annika Sorenstam and country-music artist Jake Owen.
The three-day Cologuard Classic begins a week from Friday at Omni Tucson National Resort. The Celebrity Challenge will take place during Saturday’s second round. The group will play the back nine, starting about 1:45 p.m. Owen will perform during the Military Tribute Concert that night.
The tournament is still awaiting word on whether Phil Mickelson will join the field. The PGA Tour star has until 3 p.m. Friday to make that decision. Players who are committed to play include defending champion Kevin Sutherland, Bernhard Langer, Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, and PGA Tour Champions rookie David Duval.
