STATELINE, Nev. – Steph Curry is reuniting with flashy playing partners, albeit on the golf course with Justin Timberlake and Tony Romo.
That threesome tees off Friday at 9:42 a.m. in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe.
Curry, fresh off a fifth straight NBA Finals appearance as the Golden State Warriors superstar, is no stranger to the Tahoe tournament or his opening-round partners. Romo, the former quarterback-turned-CBS analyst, is the reigning champion, while the multi-talented Timberlake is the biggest draw of a tournament that drew a record attendance of nearly 60,000 last year.
In 2017, the Curry-Romo-Timberlake trio combined for memorable hijinks, including a pass play on the 17th hole.
Curry tied for 11th last year after placing fourth in 2017 at the telegenic tournament. He finished as high as a fourth-place tie in 2013 among his six all-time visits.
Other notable pairings include:
— Robbie Gould, the 49ers franchise-tagged kicker, will play with Chicago Bears icons Jim McMahon and Brian Urlacher (8:12 a.m., No. 1 tee).
— Jerry Rice will join Larry Fitzgerald and Ray Allen in the group immediately following the Curry-Romo-Timberlake trio.

— Aaron Rodgers, a regular at this tournament since the Cal star got drafted in 2005 by the Green Bay Packers, will play with former Packers Jordy Nelson and A.J. Hawk (9:33 a.m.).
