His pursuit will be greatly aided if Jordan Spieth the klutz doesn't break something else first.
On Wednesday ahead of this week's Presidents Cup, the 24-year-old Spieth was asked about his injury history — or rather, his lack of an injury history. So far.

“I almost trip every day,” Spieth answered. “But I haven't had any injuries that kept me from playing golf fortunately.”
Wait, wait, wait. Almost trip every day?! That's not the kind of thing you expect to hear from a world-class athlete!
Anyway, Spieth's embarrassing claim was backed up moments..

Woods back on the course in a cart, uncertain about future

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Tiger Woods made it back from his fourth surgery in time for the Presidents Cup.

Just not to play.

Not even Woods knows when or even if he can return. He even acknowledged Wednesday a scenario that he doesn’t return to competition because he’s at a stage where he’s only hitting 60-yard shots.

This was all about driving a cart as an assistant captain at Liberty National.

Woods is back on a golf course for the first time since the Dubai Desert Classic, where he shot 77 in the first round and withdrew the next day citing back spasms. He had fusion surgery on his back in April, and he had reason to wonder if he would be able to join the U.S. team in this capacity.

He said in his blog May 24 that surgery brought instant nerve relief. Five days later, however, he was arrested on a DUI charge when Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of a running car that was parked awkwardly on the side of the road with a blinker flashing.

Presidents Cup bracing for Trump show at Liberty National

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) The Presidents Cup is living up to its name like never before. The three previous U.S. presidents will be on the first tee at Liberty National for the start of the matches Thursday, and the PGA Tour is bracing for a Sunday visit by President Donald Trump.

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said Trump’s people have been out to the course to take a ”good, hard look at the property” and are working closely with the tournament’s security side.

It would be the first time a sitting president has attended the event since Bill Clinton was at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia in 2000.

”We hope he comes and he’ll be welcomed by us and by our players,” Monahan said.

The Presidents Cup, matches between Americans and players from every other continent except Europe, began in 1994 and since 1998 has invited sitting heads of state from the host country as honorary chairman. Trump accepted his invitation, his first active role with the PGA Tour since a World Go..

Twitter’s 280-character limit changes the only thing people like about Twitter

NurPhotoLeading cyberbullying platform Twitter announced this week that it’s mulling the possibility of doubling its current 140-character limit to 280, a dramatic change for a company that’s become as synonymous with 140 as Jordan is with 23. What does this mean for you, the pithy user or your valuable brand? The pros and cons of Twitter going all 280:
PROS
• Expanding to 280 characters gives users way more room to be racist
• After a natural disaster/mass shooting/one of 2017’s 300 hurricanes, politicians will no longer have to abbreviate “thoughts and prayers”
• Should reduce ampersand use by 700%
• Allows more space for the President of the United States to share his wisdom and inspiration
• Tweet threads that start “1/18” will be reduced to a much more manageable “1/9”
• Should let Ted Cruz to be more informed about his choice in mom-porn
• Defiant users can safely just say “don’t at me” instead of using that ridiculous symbol thing
• If you thought Chick-Fil-A’s 22-year-old corpo..

John Daly is opening a steakhouse that features a golf club chandelier (Obviously)

Rejoice, Arkansas residents, because Wednesday is a HUGE day. John Daly's steakhouse is having its grand opening. Hooray!
Yes, we were as surprised as you to learn that Daly hadn't yet opened a steakhouse in his native state. But now the two-time major champ has rectified that glaring void with his latest business venture. And not surprisingly, he seems pretty excited about it. So excited, in fact, he cropped the beginning of his name out of this photo:

And good lord, is that a lot of hashtags. John, you probably didn't need to alert anyone to the fact that your steakhouse serves dinner. . .
Anyway, Daly shared a few other photos ahead of the bid day. Here's a glance at the menu, which looks reasonably priced and surprisingly understated (Well, other than Daly's lion logo).
FacebookPinterestThe only personalized item we see on there is Big John's Steakhouse Burger, which is topped with charred onions and fried egg. Sounds about rig..
