iviera member and AT&T staple, Mark Wahlberg loves golf so much he had a practice golf complex built in his backyard and is known to pal around with Rory McIlroy. But the actor, producer, businessman, model, rapper, singer, songwriter, husband, and father of four is a busy man, and in a recent video interview with Men’s Health, he said he’s limiting his time on the links. “I’ve given up golf,” he said. “I realize that it’s just too much—between family and work [just] trying to squeeze golf in. It’s a very expensive sport and habit. But I’ll be back.” NFL veteran and Arizona Cardinals’ wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald teamed with Scottsdale pro Kevin Streelman to clinch the 2020 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the second time in three years, pulling away in the final round from former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and Arizona State’s Phil Mickelson.“(Streelman’s) back must be sore because he carried me,” Fitzgerald quipped to CBS. “He played outstanding, some of the putts he made, some of the shots he hit with the wind that was blowing out there, he was terrific.”

Points in 2011 and fans can count on his dazzling array of attire on the course.
