Shirlaine ForrestIn case you haven’t exactly had your finger on the pulse, the world isn’t doing so great. California is on fire, Vegas is in mourning, and Puerto Rico is without power. People who voted for the president are no longer speaking to the people didn’t and in distant lands the targeting chips on nuclear warheads are being dialed in while world leaders hurl schoolyard insults from the UN pulpit. Suffice to say, it’s a scary time to get out of bed in the morning, but thankfully Fox News have found the root of our global ache:
F—ing Radiohead.
It all began a week ago, when Kat Timpf (not a typo), joined The Greg Gutfeld Show to discuss 2018’s eligible Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame nominees, using a self-deprecating tirade on her taste in men—“strange, malnourished, and sad,” she says—as a springboard to characterize the seminal Oxford art rockers as [wait for it] “elaborate moaning and whining over ringtone sounds.” [Mic drop].
The internet—which we all know began as a Radiohead f..

SHANGHAI (AP) The final World Golf Championship of the year is a case study in how quickly the landscape can change.

Jon Rahm had never played in one of these elite events and it wasn’t his highest priority a year ago because he had played only one PGA Tour event as a full member. Now he’s at the HSBC Champions as No. 5 in the world, making him the highest ranked European.

Hideki Matsuyama was coming off a victory in the Japan Open and a runner-up finish in Malaysia, worthy of celebration because the Japanese star had moved into the top 10 in the world for the first time in his career. He won by seven shots at the HSBC Champions, part of an amazing stretch in which he won five times in nine starts.

Patrick Cantlay had gone two years without even playing because of a back surgery he feared might end his career. He made it back to golf in February, to the Tour Championship in September and to his first World Golf Championship this week at Sheshan Intern..

Fantasy Golf: Can Hideki Matsuyama knock out the field again in Shanghai?

SHANGHAI (AP) The PGA Tour has its first Chinese members, and now has reason to believe they won’t be the last.

After a one-year hiatus, the PGA Tour China Series resumes in 2018 under a four-year agreement between the PGA Tour and the China Golf Association in which the prize money and number of tournaments will increase.

”These will be brand new tournaments, providing players with more opportunity to participate, as well as to establish a route for China golfers to get through and into the world stage of golf,” said Zhang Xiaoning, president of the CGA. ”The development of golf tournaments here is not only helping the tour itself, but also to help China develop better and more professional golfers and to raise the interest of our citizens to the sport of golf.”

Steve VaccarielloThe New York Marathon is one of sports’ strangest flashpoints—a collision of Halloween hangovers and obsessive compulsive cardio that plays out like some sort of sadly Snoopy-less version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. New Yorkers get up at 7 a.m., invite friends they don’t invite like into their homes, chug Bloody Marys by the batch, and cheer on a bunch of strangers willfully giving themselves pneumonia. The runners actually bother going to Staten Island. None of it makes much sense.
But despite its nonsensical trappings—the very fabric of life here in Gotham—the New York Marathon remains perhaps the most famous footrace on earth, attracting not only a professional cavalcade of long-legged, deep-lunged masochists from around the world, but also a small group of valiant A-listers desperately hoping not to puke within lens-shot of TMZ. Some of these make sense—Tiki Barber is running this year, for instance—but many more, just like the Marathon itself, don’t. To..

Shanshan Feng, China’s most successful golfer, is a free spirit.

She also is one of the sports idols of a country with a population of nearly 1.4 billion people — a trendsetter and champion in a game that swings back and forth and in and out of favor with the nation’s communist government.

The 28-year-old Feng heads to one of her favorite courses and events this week as she looks to defend her title in the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, set to begin competition on Thursday at TPC Kuala Lumpur.

Feng also won this tournament in 2014 and was runner-up in both 2013 and 2015, so it would be a surprise if she was not in the mix from the opening tee shot to the final putt.

“At the prize ceremony last year, I was like, ‘Can I get a membership card here because I play so well here? ‘” Feng said Monday

Feng followed her initial statement with her trademark booming laugh.

“Every time when I lose my confidence, maybe this is where I should come b..

We already knew the WGC-HSBC Champions pre-tournament photo shoot is a tradition unlike any other, but we didn't think it could get any better. Wrong. This year's PR stunt puts the emphasis on “stunt” with a collection of delightfully awkward pictures that are sure to bring a smile to your face no matter what type of day you're having. Enjoy!
FacebookPinterestScott HalleranFacebookPinterestAndrew RedingtonIn case you're trying to figure out what the heck is going on here, it's simple. Hideki Matsuyama is the event's defending champ so everyone is trying to get his coveted trophy. By flying around with golf clubs. Duh.

It's hard to keep topping yourself every year, but that's exactly what the creative geniuses behind these do each year. This time, Beijing-born contemporary artist Li Wei directed the shoot. So kudos, Mr. Wei. Of course, it helps when the golfers play along. Lo..

For about 98 percent of his career, Tiger Woods was notoriously inaccessible, despite many in the media's best intentions. It was all part of his win-at-all-costs, lone wolf mentality, one that no doubt helped him win 79 times on the PGA Tour, including 14 major championships. But even for one of the greatest athletes of all time, that act can only last so long.
Age, a deteriorating golf game and the ever-changing media landscape have seen Tiger become more honest and open with his fans and the media. For a long time, it was impossible to fathom seeing the day when Woods would admit he could see a scenario where he'd never play again, but hearing him say it was refreshing, in a way.
The first sign of this newfound accessibility actually came nearly eight years ago, months after his Thanksgiving night from hell. Tiger started a Twitter account on June 29, 2009, and for a little while, actually appeared to be tweeting from it himself. He answered fan questions, genuinely tweete..

Hockey players and puppies. If you need another excuse to scroll down, you’re probably in the wrong place to begin with. On Tuesday, the Washington Capitals gathered for their Caps Canine Calendar shoot, an annual event that pairs some of the biggest stars in the NHL with a primped and pampered pack of pups to benefit Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. As you have probably already predicted, pictures were taken, and as you have likely guessed, they are—because we are secure in our masculinity and can say this with no qualms whatsoever—absolutely freaking adorable. Check them out below (and do your best keep the babbling puppy talk to a minimum… especially if you're at the office):
