Golf is pretty tough, with sand traps and water hazards abounding on many PGA Tour courses. What is another challenge for a professional golfer? How about a six foot long python? That may throw some players off of their games.
The PGA Tour played at TPC Kuala Lumpur in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this week, and while he 2016 CIMB Classic sounds like a throwaway tournament, it has some significant players participating in Paul Casey, Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed and Ian Poulter.
And this guy was also there:
YIKES! 🐍

Before they were about to tee off for the second round, they had an unwanted visitor on the course: a python. Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia and its largest by far. This photo though may not be the type of tourist material they want floating around the internet.
For 18 holes, this python-covered course can be played for just over $100. Would you pay to play on the course, or would someone have to pay you to step foot on it? If you’re one of the best players in the world, you’ll stick around for a $7 million dollar purse at the end of this tournament. That sounds well worth the risk. The greatest risk in life is not taking one, right?
