AT&T Pro-Am

The AT&T Pro-Am starts this weekend, pairing some amazing golfers with some fun celebrities who can hold their own on the course. Last year there was a high professional turnout since the US Open was being held at Pebble Beach, they all wanted to get their practice time in a few months before the big day. This year, the top 3 players (Westwood, Kaymer and Tiger) will be paired together in Dubai leaving a big opportunity for Dustin Johnson to take home another PB victory.

For the celebrities this year, there are some old school players who have participated in this tournament for years and years, including Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia and Bill Murray (who has been known to bring blow-up floaties to the course). Filling out the roster from the professional athletes are Brandi Chastain, Matt Cain, Tony Romo and Kelly Slater (bringing together two of my favorite things, golf and Kelly). Last year, he was delayed on the course because he was distracted by the huge waves crashing on the rocks, guess he was debating on finishing the hole or jumping into the water with his board. Oscar De La Hoya is also playing but since I don't consider boxing a sport, I won't officially include him on this list.

Going to be a great weekend for golf!
