Zurich Insurance Group released a new commercial this week starring Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley and a handful of other pro golfers. The good news is: It’s a great spot predicated on the weird premise of discerning just how much PGA and LPGA golfers love their sport. The company hooked up each golfer to a lie detector machine and asked him or her a series of increasingly absurd questions—all...

Rafael Nadal is an exceedingly finicky person. The Spanish tennis pro needs everything just so, from his pre-serve approach to his water bottle’s general alignment with the heavenly spheres. If it can be tweaked or altered on the tennis court, chances are Nadal will try to do so. With this in mind, it’s strange to hear Nadal is committed to wearing a bulky, $775,000 watch at the 2015 French...

Miguel Angel Jimenez continues to give and give and give some more to the sport of golf. Two weeks after the 51-year-old Spanish pro’s heated confrontation with Keegan Bradley at the WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship in San Francisco, Jimenez is back in his home country sinking holes-in-one in exchange for industrial stockpiles of alcohol—and dancing. Can’t forget the dancing. Jimenez...

You may remember Robert Allenby, the golfer who in January told the world he was kidnapped and beaten during a night out in Hawaii but had his story called into question. In any case, Allenby is alive and well and playing at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass this fine Friday afternoon. The Australian golfer is currently sitting at three-under for the tournament and tied for 20th place. This...

In a development liable to make Darren Rovell faint at his keyboard, a company has found a way to permanently embed its brand in the bodies of professional athletes. Salta Beer, an Argentinian beer company, is offering rugby players who have lost their teeth in the line of duty the opportunity to turn their mouths into bottle cap openers. The offer is a tooth implant with a hooked ledge. The item is...

In what should serve as your semiannual reminder that Yao Ming is a comically large person, the former Houston Rockets star met up with Tiger Woods onstage at a Nike promotional event in Shanghai on Friday. I don’t know exactly what Nike product is being hawked here, but the picture of Woods awkwardly waving at the Tower of Yao is all you need to buy from this vignette. God, Yao Ming makes everyone...

Jordan Spieth isn’t much of a ball whisperer. He’s a yeller. The 21-year-old Masters champ shot his way to an historic win at Augusta National over the past weekend, scolding and pleading with the ball the entire way. And because the Internet loves weird idiosyncrasies, some wonderful fool put together a supercut of Spieth talking to his balls over the course of the tournament. Crafted...

Outkick The Coverage, a sub-blog of FoxSports.com overseen by Fox Sports analyst Clay Travis, published a story last week titled “How to Land a Husband at the Masters.” The piece, a click-bait-y little ditty telling single female Masters patrons, “Let’s be honest…you aren’t there for the golf,” did what it was ostensibly engineered to do: cause a stir...

In addition to being transcendentally good at slapping golf balls accurately over fields, Rory McIlroy appears to have been born with the stripe of the clairvoyant. The New York Times‘ Charles Siebert published a feature on the 25-year-old golfer Tuesday detailing the story of Rory’s life and his journey from a crib-bound infant at the practice range to the player whose dominant rise may...

What was your best day on the links like? Mine occurred when I was seven, and I birdied No. 1 and shot a better front nine than my father for the first (and last) time. Since then, my finest days on the golf course are the ones that don’t end in a broken iron and me shaking a fist at the Lord. So it’s difficult for me to fathom the recent miracle round shot by Virginia Tech women’s...
