Although Major League Baseball might be going through an uneventful phase, it isn’t the same for the rest of the sports in the country. While the NFL is over and the NBA is about to be, golf’s PGA tour still has a good few months left for the season. A part of the tour is Genesis Open, which took place from February 16-19 at Riviera Golf Course in LA, California. The tournament saw Spanish professional golfer Jon Rahm taking the title of the world’s number 1 golfer. Soon as it happened, a rare picture of Rahm with golf legend Tiger Woods, MLB icon Alex Rodriguez and the Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt resurfaced, taking the internet by storm.  

Recently, sports presenter and professional golfer Blair O’Neal went into memory lane and brought a few rare pictures for the world to have a look at while watching the final round of the Genesis Open.

Where did the legends, Tiger Woods and Rodriguez, gather at the same time?

Back in 2019, a few days before the Genesis Open took place at the Riviera Golf Course, the Hall of Fame inductee Tiger Woods organized a celebrity golf tournament. Notably, the celebrity tournament was a star-studded one, including Chris Pratt, Mark Wahlberg, NFL great Reggie Bush, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez, and many others.

As the golf legend Woods handed the world’s number 1 golf player, Jon Rahm, a $3.6 million prize, Blair O’Neal reminded herself of when she played at Woods’ celebrity cup. She posted a series of pictures with Oliver Hudson, Michael Pena, Chris Pratt, A-Rod, Larry Fitzgerald, and the OG Woods himself. 

The pictures show them talking, taking shots on the course, and them holding the winner’s trophy. However, in a couple of these pictures, Rodriguez looks a bit tired, which sports fans calling him out as the rare photos resurfaced.

What are the fans saying about Alex Rodriguez?

While most people on Instagram called it a great moment to look back at, a few focused only on A-Rod’s face. A user said, “ARod looks thrilled,” with a laughing emoticon, whereas others said, “ARod looks sad,” and, “A rod doesn’t look happy in the first picture!”
