What better way to spend the weekend than watching two things you never thought would happen again? I am, of course, referring to the return of both Tiger Woods and Game of Thrones, in that order.

Growing up, golf never had the allure and flashiness you get with most other sports, but it did have Tiger Woods. Part of the reason I, along with many others across the world, was first drawn to him is because he brought a palpable sense of energy unique to golf at the time. I vividly remember seeing him win his second Masters in 2001 and immediately going into my backyard to replicate his shots.

Of course, he has had his fair share of trials and setbacks lately, but there’s always a part of me that will cheer him on because he reminds me of why I first started playing golf. For him to put everything together and win a major tournament for the first time in more than 10 years is pure resiliency and contributed toward an extremely memorable Sunday.

Additionally, after the golf ended Sunday, I joined the majority of America in watching a live episode of Game of Thrones for the first time in 595 days. 595 days! It’s bittersweet knowing this is the final season, and I will leave the spoilers out for those who haven’t watched, but the episode successfully capped off a Sunday for the ages.
