Watch Camilo Villegas open a beer bottle with a golf club with incredible ease

We're reminded every week on the PGA Tour just how extremely talented tour pros are with a golf club in their hands. And Camilo Villegas showed us his skills extend to taking the bottle cap off a beer with a video he shared over New Year's weekend.
Be careful at home trying this method — not all of us can operate a 9-iron so skillfully. Villegas, however, has obviously done this a time or two.

Column: Woods’ back among top questions in new year in golf

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) The PGA Tour rings in the new year at Kapalua for the 20th straight time. After all these years, the one moment that stands above all others was the titanic battle between Tiger Woods and Ernie Els in 2000.

Both made eagle on the 18th hole to force a playoff. Both made birdie on the first extra hole. Woods ended it with a 35-foot birdie putt on the next hole that was downhill and into the grain with about 6 feet of break. Equally memorable was what Els said when it was over:

”He’s 24. He’s probably going to be bigger than Elvis when he gets into his 40s.”

Woods turned 42 on Saturday. He’s still not bigger than Jack Nicklaus when it comes to golf’s ultimate yardstick, most majors won.

But he’s still Tiger, and that means a lot.

He commands more attention than major champions nearly half his age. And that’s why Woods, who makes golf must-see TV when he’s playing, leads the list of five questions to consider for 2018.

Come for Jordan Spieth making a hole-in-one on a simulator, stay for him dabbing in celebration

Jordan Spieth's practice on his indoor simulator has been well documented. In 2015, Spieth prepared for the Open Championship at St. Andrews in the comfort of his own home, and a few months later, he said he honed 3-iron shots ahead of his runaway victory at Kapalua to start 2016. Now heading into the opening event of 2018, it appears Spieth is still relying on indoor work to ready his game for another season. And the three-time major champ already looks pretty locked in.

Check out this video of Spieth slam dunking a hole-in-one, which came on Christmas night in his home, according to Colorado Golf Blog. But also check out Spieth — who is wearing what could pass as an ugly Christmas sweater — dabbing in celebration at the end. Smooth.

Isaiah Thomas’ kid hilariously calls Shaq fat, and Shaq and Charles Barkley were having none of it

You won't find a player in any sport who has had more of a rollercoaster year than NBA point guard Isaiah Thomas. Many know the story of his sister passing away in a car crash last April, and Thomas suiting up for playoff game with the Boston Celtics the following day, posting a stat line of 33 points, six assists and five rebounds in a loss to the Chicago Bulls.
After finishing off a career season in Boston, Thomas was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in August, a team he has yet to debut for as he continues to work his way back from injury. It's been quite a nine-month stretch for the diminutive guard as continues his quest to prove the world wrong, and The Players Tribune has been there to capture every moment in a documentary series called “The Book of Isaiah”, which follows Thomas on his journey back to the court. In the latest video, cameras captured a lighter, hilarious moment of Thomas and his two kids eating dinner together, and somehow, the subject of Shaquille O&#..

How to return a gift in 33 easy steps

Westend61Tired couple in Christmas pyjamas looking at mess of wrapping paperDid you get everything you wanted for Christmas this year? HAHAHAHAHAH of course you didn’t, you clearly wound up with a hacked-together collection of depressing mugs, ill-fitting polos and at least one item that made your 6-year-old say, “I definitely didn’t want that,” erm, hypothetically, little punk, sorry Santa tried to make you READ AN AWESOME BOOK ABOUT VOLCANOES, jeez. Anyway, since this pile of rejected sadness represents free money, and since you won’t be seeing any tax cut money unless you already own an object that can travel to space, it’s time to warm up the Odyssey, venture out into the Hoth-like conditions, abandon your empathetic nervous system and return some presents. Here’s how:
Collect the objects you need to return by digging through the scattered mountains of Christmas wrapping paper, cardboard and scotch tape orphans in your newly flammable living room. HINT: Most of what you need to ret..
