As the golf world descends on Bay Hill this week, its eye turns to a man it never strays far from, no matter the occasion: Arnold Palmer, beverage mixing magnate and the one-man Lewis & Clark of modern golf. But while the tributes have spread far and wide this week, no one nailed it quite like Rory McIlroy who, fresh off comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln on Wednesday, showed up to the Arnie Invitational on Thursday dressed just like The King (and we don't mean Elvis). Needless to say, this sure beats a top hat and tassels.

The only thing missing from Rory's ensemble are a set of persimmons and, of course, a Marlboro dangling from his lips. Smoking is impossibly bad for you and if you don't do it, you should never, ever start (happy, mom?), but hell if Arnie didn't make it looks as cool as the other side of Marlon Brando's pil..

A prank video that includes an impression of a famous person. That sentence right there is the stuff of my internet nightmares. Your pranks stink. We all know they are staged and awful. Your impressions? Only a select few can truly do them right (see here and here for examples). Combine a prank AND and impression? I am OUT.

Except in the case of the guy who impersonated James Harden inside of a Target, producing one of the funnier videos you'll ever see. Watch as this guy sneaker-squeaks his way through the aisles, scaring the ever-living crap out of a few folks. Oh, and wait until the end for the party-pooper of the century:

Walters, Arnaus share 1st-round lead at Qatar Masters

The Players Championship has undergone a rebranding a sorts with its move back to March, in hopes to add some gravitas to the PGA Tour's flagship event. Last month the tournament announced it was eschewing the crystal normally awarded to the victor favor of a 24k gold statue. And now, it seems, TPC Sawgrass will be introduced with a new theme song.
Yes, it's own theme song.
For those of you scoring at home, the Players' previous ballad was a movie score mutation of “Jim Brings in the Brumbies” from the 1982 film “Man From Snowy River.” (As if you needed a reminder.) But on Wednesday, the tournament's Twitter account signaled Jim was subbed for this jingle that fans can expect to hear next week:

Save for the earnestness in the video's intro—its lacks of self-awareness almost conveys the air of a parody—the actual tune ain't too shabby. Granted, it's no “Roundball Rock,” but what is?

ElsaNew York Knicks small forward Mario Hezonja has guarded some of the NBA's best players this season. Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, Giannis Antetokounmpo, just to name a few. In other words, he's got firsthand experience, enough to form an opinion on who the toughest guy to defend is. According to Hezonja, the holder of that title is not even playing in the league right now.

On Wednesday, Super Mario tweeted out this opinion, and we cannot stress “opinion” enough, to his 12.1K followers (kind of low for a New York Knick, wouldn't you say?), igniting a fiery debate about who he could be talking about:

Since this is Twitter, we all had more than one guess. Though it didn't take long for everyone to agree on an answer, especially with the help of this exchange in Hezonja's replies:

A bad back has kept Luke Donald away from the golf course for most of the past year. And while we feel for the former World No. 1 being sidelined from doing what he loves, our heart goes out to him even more for being forced to do something he hates instead. Shopping.

On Wednesday, while many of the game's best golfers were at Bay Hill preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, Donald was about three hours south at the Boca Raton Town Center. And his wife, Diane, took this funny video of Luke that makes his exit from the mall look like Andy Dufresne's prison escape in The Shawshank Redemption.
