As noted by the San Jose Mercury News, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is on the list of celebrities scheduled to play in this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Brady will join other celebrities such as actor/comedian George Lopez, musician Huey Lewis, ESPN's Chris Berman and actor Bill Murray on the golf course. Spectator interest is reportedly greater than last year and celebrities like Brady are considered part of the reason why.
"The focus has never been on any one player," Ollie Nutt, president and CEO of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, told the Mercury News. "People come to watch the professionals and celebrities as well as take in the natural beauty of the courses."
