Although Major League Baseball might be going through an uneventful phase, it isn’t the same for the rest of the sports in the country. While the NFL is over and the NBA is about to be, golf’s PGA tour still has a good few months left for the season. A part of the tour is Genesis Open, which took place from February 16-19 at Riviera Golf Course in LA, California. The tournament saw Spanish professional golfer Jon Rahm taking the title of the world’s number 1 golfer. Soon as it happened, a rare picture of Rahm with golf legend Tiger Woods, MLB icon Alex Rodriguez and the Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt resurfaced, taking the internet by storm.
Recently, sports presenter and professional golfer Blair O’Neal went into memory lane and brought a few rare pictures for the world to have a look at while watching the final round of the Genesis Open.

She posted a series of pictures with Oliver Hudson, Michael Pena, Chris Pratt, A-Rod, Larry Fitzgerald, and the OG Woods himself.
