Happy Wednesday. Rory McIlroy's Players Championship victory soundtrack wasn't Drake or Metallica - it was "The Devil Wears Prada." The world #2 admitted he spent Sunday night watching the 2006 fashion comedy before waking up at 3am "as nervous as I can remember" for Monday's playoff. While most golfers might watch Tiger's greatest moments for inspiration, McIlroy apparently finds his competitive edge in Meryl Streep's scathing fashion critiques and office power dynamics. ⬇️

🎙️ The Starter

Last Starter: 95% of readers knew that Nike paid Tiger Woods more $ than any other sponsor. The greatest golf sponsorship in history began unraveling the moment Tiger showed up at Augusta wearing FootJoy shoes - what Nike insiders called "absolute sacrilege." Despite making him a reported $200 million deal in 2013, Nike's relationship with Woods soured after they positioned Rory McIlroy as his successor in a commercial showing young Rory idolizing Tiger. For a pathologically competitive athlete who "remembers that stuff," watching his own sponsor "pass the torch" while he was still playing proved an unforgivable betrayal. ⬇️

⛳️ How an Uber Ride saved Rory Mcllroy

While you're debating whether to splurge on the $25 Uber home from the bar, Rory McIlroy just dropped $1,000 to Uber his golf clubs 150 miles to TPC Sawgrass. The world #2 had his old sticks chauffeured from Jupiter after his new clubs weren't performing, complete with a $338 tip (probably 5-stars too). This extravagant equipment rescue mission paid off with a $4.5 million victory - a 450,000% return on his rideshare investment. ⬇️

🚬 Can Charley Hull stop smoking?

Charley Hull just made the most expensive New Year's resolution in golf history - two months late and with $10,000 on the line. The world #10 LPGA star, who went viral last year for signing autographs with a cigarette dangling from her mouth, handed her pack to fellow pro Ryan Evans with a dramatic pledge: "If I pick up a cigarette in the next two months, I'll give you 10 grand." Evans immediately had her sign the cigarette box, joking he was putting it on eBay that night. ⬇️

❌ MJ Banned from Golf Course

Michael Jordan finally found someone who doesn't care about his six championship rings - the dress code enforcer at La Gorce Country Club. The basketball legend was permanently banned from the prestigious Miami club for refusing to interrupt his round and change out of cargo shorts when confronted on the 11th hole. When informed he would never be allowed to return to the club, the notoriously competitive Jordan responded with a characteristically dismissive: "No problem!!" ⬇️
