The career explosion caused Kenny to put golf aside for nearly 20 years. But set for life in his early 40s, (he's one of the 10 original investors in Starbucks), he returned to the game with a passion. Now 50, Kenny G tops Golf Digest's inaugural Top 100 in Music ranking with a plus-0.6 Handicap Index. He's a club stroke-play champion at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where his most frequent partner is actor Craig T. Nelson. Kenny has shot 67 at Riviera, "but from the middle tees with no rough. I don't want to ever fool myself that I'm better than I am." As a 6-handicap in 2001, he partnered with Phil Mickelson to tie for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am title. Last year Kenny played on a sponsor's exemption in a Nationwide Tour event and quickly discovered that his short game and 250-yard drives weren't up to the task. He shot 82-83 to miss the cut but is considering trying again next year.
