Of course the rookie’s career on the PGA Tour has spanned all of a dozen starts.
But the 25-year-old Canadian who won in the Bahamas on the Web.com Tour last year made a splash in golf long before that. Literally. Svensson was just a toddler when he drove a golf cart into a pond as his dad played nearby.
“My dad was teeing off, and I guess I decided to drive the cart right into the lake,” Svensson said. “I drove it into the lake, yeah.”

Naturally, Svensson’s dad made a bee line for the cart—to save his clubs—after his son had apparently hopped out of the cart.
“I think he got a putter or something, a driver out of there, but that was it,” Svensson said. “But [the cart] ended up sinking to the bott..

CES 2019 is in full swing, gracing Las Vegas Convention Center and the internet alike with more tech gadgets than you can shake Alexa at. There's been crazy BMW x North Face campers, anti-aging skin printers, and a corral of new Google home goodies, but the internet's favorite device is, perhaps unsurprisingly, something old delivered in a whole new way:
Samsung's Godzilla-dwarfing 219-inch flatscreen TV dubbed “The Wall.”
FacebookPinterestMeasuring in at a whopping 18-feet wide, “The Wall” employs microLED technology, which creates a brighter picture with less energy than traditional TVs. If that sounds like the perfect recipe for the best Masters viewing party ever, then let's just say great minds think alike. Needless to say, if you thought those green jackets and pink Azaleas popped before, just wait until you have Starship Enterprise's windshield propped up your living room.

Whatever Jordan Spieth's intention, we can all agree: the Rules of Golf are the gift that keeps on giving.

My grandpa (RIP), was NOT a fan of Tiger Woods, but his dislike of Tiger had nothing to do with Woods himself and everything to do with how much focus the star golfer received during telecasts. “Did they show him go to the bathroom yet?” he'd like to joke. It was the same reason he didn't like Greg Norman, either, and it's the same reason some stubbornly refuse to root for Tiger to this day. Well, if you're one of those people like my grandpa, then you might want to look away.

That's because there's a new Instagram account that tracks Tiger doing random things. In fact, it's called “Tiger Woods Doing Things” (@twdoingthings). Yeah, it's that basic. And yet, it's oddly entertaining. Here's a sampling:

Getting bit by a radioactive spider comes with some perks. Heightened senses, super grip, insta-abs, Gwen Stacy, and, as it turns out, one hell of a swing. Just ask 22-year-old MCU webslinger Tom Holland who flashed his Spidey sense-tingling swing while teeing it up with Jordan Spieth at the Sony Open Pro-Am on Wednesday.

Now we don't suggest you go jump in a tub of tarantulas to lower that handicap—we have far safer methods for improving your game, if that's what you're after—but clearly something is working Holland, who finally feels comfortable enough in his own, er, swing, to step out from behind the mask and show the world who he truly is: An unabashed golf nerd.

Interestingly enough, a lot hangs in the balance for both Jordan Spieth and Holland this spring. The last time we saw Holland suit up as Spider-Man ..

A few week ago, we shared with you the true story of Myra, a Jeopardy! contestant who identified former Kid Rock DJ Uncle Kracker as Kid Cudi in what we, at the time, called the worst answer in Jeopardy! history. Why Jeopardy! is asking questions about Uncle Kracker in 2018 is another issue altogether, but it looks like Myra might already have some competition in the show's time-tested Last New Band I Listened to Was Fleetwood Mac category.

Now, if you don't listen to pop (sorry bros, Jay-Z is ostensibly Top 40 now), there's a good chance you wouldn't have come up with The Carters in five seconds either. I know I wouldn't have. But this isn't about what the correct answer was as much as the answer poor Jessica—probably the last person on earth you'd want answering questions about Jay-Z and Beyonce if your life depended on answering questions about Jay-Z and Beyonce—gave:
