Celebrity Golfers Show off Celebratory Spraying Skills

During the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, often referred to as the Super Bowl of celebrity events, many players took the opportunity to show off their locker room celebratory skills in the second annual "Korbel Celebrity Spray-Off."

Participating players included winner Tony Romo, runner-up Jerry Rice, and third place finisher Charles Barkley among more than 35 other celebrity participants. Players were judged on champagne cork distance and style of the champagne spray. 

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, took the title of "Spray Off Champion" when he 'went long' with the cork and impressed the crowd with his stylish champagne spray.

Former NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver, Jerry Rice and Charles Barkley, NBA Hall of Famer won over the crowd with their exciting champagne sprays and long distance corks. Jerry Rice, known for being light on his feet, used his star dancing skills to earn style points while Barkley's finish in the Spray-Off was guaranteed to be higher than his place in the golf tournament.

Each player had his own unique style, some focusing on cork distance while others took advantage of the chance to entertain and spray the crowd. The Spray-Off made for an amusing competition, whether it was Jack Wagner's amusing dance moves or Ben Roethlisberger drenching the crowd, the competition proved to be full of laughs.

Other style-makers of the "Spray-Off" included Trent Dilfer, who put on his rally cap for extra style points, Joe Theismann who was determined not to let the rookie athletes show him up, Mario Lemieux who performed a complete 360 degree spin and spray, or Jim McMahon in his signature bare feet and striped pants who got the crowd involved.

Slam dunks of the Spray-Off included NBA greats, Michael Jordan (always classy with his signature cigar), Anfernee Hardaway, Marcus Allen and Shane Battier.

Hockey players seem to have an advantage as they showed they had some serious champagne-spraying know how as their spray's had the most flair and style. Brett Hull, Pierre Larouche and Mario Lemieux, all two-time Stanley Cup Champions, showed off their champion sprays.

NFL All-Pro Football Players were out and ready to go the distance. Ben Roethlisberger, John Elway, Mark Rypien and Jim McMahon, all Super Bowl champs have had plenty of experience popping the cork on champagne to celebrate victories.

Former baseball greats, Ozzie Smith, Bret Saberhagen, and Joe Carter participated in the competition, and all hit home runs as far as champagne spraying goes.
