Kudos to Tiger Woods for standing his ground and fielding that aggressively condescending tone with some stern professionalism. Tiger didn't seem fazed one bit.

What can you do, you can't follow all the leagues and all the action, you need to focus. So luckily you have the highlights right in front of your eyes so you won't have to. But if you want even more gif highlights from across sports, don't touch that remote.
Earth is a big place, with lots of stuff happening. And some of that stuff is pretty cool. So here are ten of the most amazing things that have happened in the past week (if you want to see the best GIFs from the previous week too, go right ahead!). Enjoy.

If you spot a python on the golf course, you should probably go to the next hole. Too bad no one told this wallaby that there's a snake in the grass.
According to Yahoo, a 13-foot python was spotted on a golf course wrestling a wallaby on the 17th hole of the Paradise Palms course in Queensland, Australia on Saturday. The days of the golf clap are over. Now is the time of the golf hisssssss.
"It had (the wallaby) in a vice-like grip and it was swallowing it," said Robert Willemse, golfer and witness, who later heard that the python finished the job.
Willemse went on to say that while wildlife is common in the area, giant snakes were not.
"It looked like it might have dropped out of a tree, got a hold of (the wallaby), then there was a bit of a struggle and it rolled into the middle of the fairway."
Is no place safe from these monstrous snakes?

Golfers at the Masters this weekend face an Augusta National that has undergone quite the upgrade since its opening in 1934. The legendary course has adapted for advances in equipment technology -- including titanium and graphite clubs that allow even the worst golfers more distance off the tee -- with faster greens and increased hazards, particularly bunkers.
But the most widespread, and controversial, changes occurred from 1999-2006, when Augusta was "Tiger-proofed": tee shot landing areas were narrowed and a second cut of grass was added.
Bill Younker has detailed the redesign in this painstaking graphic, which can be had as a poster for $35.
