American Century Investments also hosted a live auction for a 1 of a kind custom created NFT of a spinning virtual golf ball signed by all of the players. 100% of the net proceeds from the auction and sales were donated to the Stowers Institute, a world-class biomedical research nonprofit dedicated to defeating life-threatening diseases. American Century Investments donates 40% of their profits each year to Stowers outside of the tournament. 3rd time ACC winner Tony Romo also made a donation to Stowers by donating his entire winning purse to the Institute.

During the practice round days, the celebrity guests were invited to digitally autograph a virtual golf ball using gesture-based technology within a custom kiosk. Utility value built into the NFT will include a trip for two to Edgewood Tahoe as well as a 3D-printed version of the celebrity-signed golf ball enclosed in a Lucite box.
