How good are these celebrities at golf? Aaron Rodgers is a 4-handicap, and he barely cracks the Top 10. All-world NFL players Peyton Manning, Steve Young and Larry Fitzgerald need to shave a half-dozen strokes off their games to make this list. Even Cinderella Story Bill Murray – who deserves degree of difficulty divisors for the energy he puts into endlessly entertaining rowdy crowds between, during and after every shot – is on the outside looking in.
Here are the 10 best celebrity golfers at the 2017 AT&T:
