Famous Foursomes: Listing the best golfers from sports, music, and film

With an exciting PGA season ongoing, we've decided to take a look at the best celebrity golfers regularly taking to the links.

We've split the golfers up into three categories - athletes, musicians, and actors - for what would be a very entertaining weekend of golf, at the very least.

Athletes

Wayne Gretzky, Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, Kelly Slater

You can't get much better than four men who have dominated their respective sports.

Led by "The Great One," Wayne Gretzky regularly plays in celebrity pro-ams and we'll forgive his higher handicap (around 10) for the fact that he is now grandfather to daughter Paulina's and PGA star Dustin Johnson's son, Tatum.

Despite "DeflateGate" clouding the latest Super Bowl victory for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, his golf game cannot be denied after he beat 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley in a match 6 & 5 this past March in the Bahamas.

Curry, this year's NBA MVP, boasts a handicap index under 1.0 and is set to participate in the California State Amateur in June.

Finally, in Slater we have the greatest surfer of all time, who went into this year's Pebble Beach Pro-Am with a 2.1 handicap.

The one man dearly missed by this foursome is Tony Romo, who came close to qualifying for the U.S. Open in 2010, but has since given up golf due to back problems. Missed by the fans is the beautiful swing of the "Round Mound of Rebound," Charles Barkley.

Musicians

Kenny G, Colt Ford, Justin Timberlake, Alice Cooper

A wide range of genres make for an entertaining foursome from the music industry.

Fronted by Kenny G, the biggest-selling instrumental musician of all time, the saxophonist has appeared at nine Pebble Beach Pro-Ams, winning the title with Phil Mickelson in 2006.

Meanwhile, country star Colt Ford once played on the then-Nationwide Tour as Jason Farris Brown. He had the lowest handicap of all celebrities competing in this year's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Timberlake, the former host of the PGA's Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, has been regularly breaking 80 playing in California so far this year.

Finally, rock star Alice Cooper has given the sport of golf the bulk of the credit for keeping him on the straight and narrow. Cooper hits the course six days a week and the 67-year-old now holds a handicap under six.

Actors

Dennis Quaid, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Murray

The actors category has no shortage of big names from your favorite movies.

Dennis Quaid brings a five handicap to the links and was named the top golfer from Hollywood by Golf Digest in 2005. He also hosts a popular charity tournament at the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles.

Mark Wahlberg was the only player to break 100 in the Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge, beating Gretzky and Drew Brees at Pebble Beach in 2010.

Despite being in every movie for the past 40 years (we believe - still researching that fact), Samuel L. Jackson is now a six handicapper who has played in many pro-ams. The 66-year-old once shot a 78 playing at St. Andrews alongside Tiger Woods, and has a clause written into movie contracts allowing him to take time off to play golf.

And, of course, how could we leave out Bill Murray? The "Caddyshack" star worked as a caddie to fund his education as a teenager, and his antics at pro-ams throughout the years have been enjoyed by many. His seven handicap, though, is nothing to laugh at, unlike the time his golf cart was pulled over in Sweden.
