According to TMZ, the tournament will feature some big names, including Machine Gun Kelly, former NFL player Rob Gronkowski, model Camille Kostek, MLB pitchers Trevor Bauer and Mike Clevinger, and more.
Participants will reportedly pay an entry fee, with all funds donated to coronavirus relief efforts.
Meanwhile, Malone was one of a number of artists criticised for not cancelling shows as the coronavirus outbreak grew. Before rules preventing mass gatherings over a certain number of people came into place, the star continued his âRunawayâ tour at Denverâs 18,000-capacity Pepsi Center arena.
The decision to continue with the show drew criticisms from a number of fans online, some of who called proceeding with the show âirresponsibleâ.
