Sergio Garcia was playing a tournament on the Asian Tour when he got frustrated with a tee shot and threw his golf club directly into the water, then kept right on walking.
Rory McIlroy grew so frustrated playing the revamped Blue Monster at Trump Doral that hew threw his golf club into the water. Donald Trump presented the 3-iron back to McIlroy the next day in a ridiculous stunt.
Sergio Garcia was competing in the Masters when he nearly fell backwards into a bunker. He was looking to read a putt, standing on the top lip of the bunker to maximize space, and he almost took a dive.
During the filming of a European Tour video where players had to pick a club to use once from their bags to hit onto a green, Eddie Pepperell about lost it using his putter to hit the green. He put his putter behind his neck and snapped it in joy.
Jason Kokrak shared an Instagram picture at the start of the 2019-2020 season to suggest he’s putting in maximum effort — that is, going all-in in poker parlance — to bettering himself.
The picture is hilarious.
Jordan Spieth tweeted this picture of him taking the AT&T distracted driving pledge, agreeing to not text and drive at the same time. It was probably not well-advised to put this picture on the internet. Driving takes 100% focus on and off the course – please join me in taking the It Can Wait Pledge to never drive distracted! #ItCanWait pic.twitter...
When Viktor Hovland was US Amateur champion, there were bobbleheads made of the Norwegian, and then there was a great video where he acted like he himself was a bobblehead.
Viktor Hovland had a satisfied, knowing look on his face during the 2020 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am post-round interview with Amanda Balionis, as though he knew the answer to the question.
Brooks Koepka looked hideous in his lockdown haircut and with a mustache that made him look like Farva from “Super Troopers,” but the thirsty look is a great meme.
