The celebrities will be teamed with the pros to raise money for the Entertainment Industry Foundation‘s research programs for preventative tests and therapies for ovarian, breast, colon and prostate cancers.
For Wahlberg, it won’t be his first round with the pros – in an interview with PGATour.com in 2006, he called his best golfing moment teeing off with Ernie Els.
