Here are 7 photos of the world’s greatest golfers playing…badminton?!

October 23, 2018

Golf’s silly season is here, and we’ve got the photos to prove it.

Before the WGC-HSBC Champions kicks off in Shanghai later this week, the event staged a casual badminton game among golfers that will immediately enter the pantheon of awkward golf photoshoots. Five of the top six players in the world took part. (Only Justin Thomas missed out. Savvy move.)

On the court: Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy and Francesco Molinari. Here are a few choice moments for posterity.
