Two sports will collide this week when Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry plays in the Ellie Mae Classic, the Bay Area's annual Web.com Tour event.

Curry is an avid golfer who will inject some excitement into the event while also serving as an ambassador for the Warriors Community Foundation, the tournament's main beneficiary. The 2-handicapper isn't expected to perform well — his odds of making the cut are listed at +900 — but his presence will still be huge for what is essentially the PGA Tour's minor league level.

In honor of Curry's foray into competitive golf, here are 15 more professional athletes who love to tee it up.

NBA legend Charles Barkley's trials and tribulations on the golf course are well-documented. He once appeared on Golf Channel's "The Haney Project" to straighten out his shoddy swing.

Tom Brady has had some high-profile playing partners over the years, including Donald Trump.

2015 American League MVP Josh Donaldson routinely puts his home run power on display at the golf course. The third baseman once hit a 300-yard drive on Golf Channel's "Morning Drive."
