Two-time Academy Award-winner Renée Zellweger is set to star in a golf comedy movie "The Back Nine".

She will play a former golfer who set her career aside to make way for her husband's pro career and to raise her son. She decides to turn pro after her marriage goes downhill.

Veteran producer Amy Baer will produce "The Back Nine", which marks the first movie for her new label, "Landline Pictures".

Michael Patrick King will direct the movie from a script he wrote with Jhoni Marchinko and Krista Smith.

Zellweger and Carmella Casinelli will also serve as executive producers for Big Picture Co., along with Jhoni Marchinko and Krista Smith.

This will be the actress's first role since winning her second Oscar last year for Best Actress for her role as Judy Garland.
