And the No. 1 reason to win the Masters…So you get to go see uncle Dave!


Winning the Masters is a dream of any hacker who has ever gripped a stick. On Sunday, Trevor Immelman’s dream came true. Then on Monday, he used his 15 minutes to visit David Letterman and rub it in everyone’s faces with a self-deprecating Top Ten List. C’mon Tiger, say you’re not jealous.

“Ways Trevor Immelman’s Life Has Changed Since Winning the Masters.”

10. I’ve been elevated from “Unknown” to “Obscure.”

9. “Thanks to the prize money, I no longer have to buy generic root beer”

8. “Suddenly I don’t look so foolish for trademarking ‘Immelmania'”

7. “I’m BFF’s with Lauren and Heidi from ‘The Hills'”

6. President Bush called to congratulate me on winning Wimbledon.

5. When my caddy recommends a club I can say, “Excuse me, how many Masters have you won?”

4. “Invited to Masters Winners Week on ‘Jeopardy'”

3. “I get a lifetime supply of them little pencils”

2. “Guess who’s playing 36 holes with the Pope this weekend?”

Even John Amaechi says those are over the top


If you thought that ugly sneakers were strictly relegated to the hardwood during the NBA’s annual All-Star weekend, think again. In fact, the hideous footwear trend is about to invade the Master’s hallowed fairways and fringes.

Thanks to PUMA, Geoff Ogilvy and Johan Edfors will be sporting these gaudy golden shoes during the competition to “celebrate the first year of PUMAs golf collection.” Uh, with shoes like these there might not be a second year. But don’t think that PUMA forgot to accessorize. The lucky pair of golfers also get to don equally fashionable outfits that will compliment the kicks.

Apparently, PUMA doesn’t mind parading their boys up and down the links like a couple of lil’ Liberaces. Looks like Stephon Marbury was right, it is better to own than be owned.
