While meeting with the media at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, a tournament McIlroy qualified for by way of his win at Bay Hill last season, he was asked about arguably the biggest hot-button issue in golf right now: the new Rules. First, he tweaked a voluntary rules meeting for the players, saying “that rules meeting was voluntary, and I voluntarily didn't go,” before bursting into laughter.

Take Zion Williamson for example. By most accounts, the moon-booted Duke freshman has been a model citizen since he began jumping out of Cameron Indoor this fall.

They're the main reason for the Fijian being the most prolific PGA Tour player in his 40s of all time with 22 (of his career 34) victories, including a major at the 2004 PGA Championship. And now in his mid-50s, Singh is showing no signs of slowing down.

Those poor tires. Seriously, is Vijay training for the 2019 season or auditioning for Rocky VII? Kinda makes my “I'm going to hit the treadmill for 20 minutes three times a week” New Year's resolution pretty lame by comparison.
