Rory McIlroy got up close and personal with a big cat recently on a South African safari. This is somehow not a joke about Tiger Woods. McIlroy went on the safari with Londolozi, which specializes in these types of trips. McIlroy tweeted out this amazing video of himself and the lion preening across the South African plains.

I imagine this is how Patrick Reed walks to the range every day when he's at home.

McIlroy will play the South African Open this week and debut his new Callaway sticks. It is his first tournament of the 2017 calendar year.
