The last major-level sport I actively follow is golf; it’s the only one where I still know who all the players are. What’s odd about this is that I have never PLAYED golf, and this is a sport where being a player is the norm and almost a pre-requisite for being a fan. Beyond the somewhat pastoral nature which golf shares with baseball, I appreciate that golf has the highest percentage of articulate and obviously intelligent practitioners of any professional sport: Rory, Jordan, Justin, Rahm, Phil, Luke Donald, these guys can really bring it in interviews. And I like urbanity.
