I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A. Points) is competing today at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in a ghillie suit, what appear to be gardening gloves, and at one point he punted a football into the crowd. It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wish to tune in the tournament (on Golf Channel until 3 ET, then CBS) just to see if Murray does anything else ridiculous. [Golf Channel] More »

Nah, not really. That would be an absurd argument to make, just about as absurd as decreeing Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light can't go party in Indianapolis. It's a slippery slope. How many days after a big loss is it acceptable to have fun? Is a sedate sport like golf more palatable than dancing? How about frolf? [Twitter] More »

A course marshall had granted a threesome permission to pass a slow-playing foursome, but a fight ensued. The victim suffered a punctured femoral artery, but during a 911 call one of the golfers said the victim "fell on a golf club or something." Which happens all the time. [Star-Telegram] More »

And it was discovered under the grandstand, sometime after Stanley fell apart at the conclusion of yesterday's Farmers Insurance Open. Stanley had a three-stroke lead when he got to No. 18, where he tried to lay up, only to land his ball in the water, after which he three-putted. Who hasn't been there? Stanley ended up in a playoff with Brandt Snedeker, who went on to beat him on the second hole after Stanley missed a putt for par. More »

The Humana Challenge used to be the Bob Hope Classic, but what's Bob Hope going to do about it? He's dead. But while Bob was never particularly big on physical humor, even he would have gotten a kick out of this sound guy's entrance, stage left. More »

Steve Thomas, who's played 78 tournaments on the PGA and Champions Tours (though none since 2010), was among 40 people arrested in an Osceola County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office sting operation. "Operation Red Cheeks" set Thomas up to believe he was negotiating for sex with a minor. More »

Tiger Woods will open his 2012 at next month's Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and it seems his playing partner will be Tony Romo, who's no slouch with a driver and always available in early February. Now let's all try to pretend that wasn't Romo in the cheating-on-a-pregnant-wife blind item, and Woods didn't do all those Woodsy things. More »

Matt Every leads the Sony Open in Hawaii by two strokes, but his play is being overshadowed by this bizarre interview with the Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman in which his 2010 arrest for marijuana possession (and subsequent suspension from the tour) is addressed. Every's defensiveness suggests he was taken by surprise by the question—which he then tried to clarify in the post-round press conference: More »

Sure, Tiger was the one sleeping around and doing all manner of filthy things to all kinds of filthy ladies, but Elin Nordegren, apparently, is the one who left their children with a broken home. As reported earlier this week, Nordegren bought a $12 million house in North Palm Beach, Florida only to raze the 9,000 square foot estate. More »

Tiger Woods ended a winless streak of more than two years yesterday when he took the Chevron World Challenge trophy by a stroke over Zach Johnson, so let's all celebrate his return to the sport's champion status by listening to a fan scream "Mashed Potatoes" after his final-round drive from the 18th hole.

We should only be so cynical about young love, but young love should only give itself so many insufferable personalized nicknames and offer so many reminders that the young people in question—the Wozz in "Wozzilroy" is 21 years old and the Ilroy is 22—hold the best and second-best world rankings in their respective sports. (McIlroy moved up to the No. 2 spot this past weekend.) One tweeted photo, we think, might be too many reminders. More »

While attending a "caddie of the year" event in Shanghai, where he won "Celebration of the year" thanks to his ridiculous behavior following Adam Scott's win at the Bridgestone Invitational—including claiming the victory was the greatest of his career—Steve Williams was asked why he made such an absurd statement and said "I wanted to shove it up that black arsehole."

"Scottish golfer Elliot Saltman has won his own weight in ham after chalking up his third hole-in-one of the season at the Madrid Masters. The 29-year-old hit his ace in the second round at El Encin's 204-yard third hole - but still missed the cut. "This is going to last me until next Christmas, never mind this one," said Saltman, who weighs in at 240 pounds. "I've been trying to lose some weight but I'm glad now I've not lost that much."

"Last night the foraging fun had run its course for two of the eight piglets when they were shot dead by a hunter on the approach to the fifth hole. The whole thing 'took fifteen minutes' according to Ottoson, and it is hoped it will be enough to avoid any more from having to be shot. 'We couldn't shoot the sow, then we would have had anarchy on our hands,' said Ottosson." [The Local] (H/T Tomuban) More »

If you didn't know, now you now: tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and golf star Rory McIlroy have been dating for a few months. McIlroy recently made his love official by engraving a golf club with the name "Wozzilroy," which is what they have decided we will call them. We, obviously, have decided to go with McIliacki, because it sounds gross. More »
