Annika Sorenstam — Getty ImagesThere are few golfers on this planet that had a career like Annika Sorenstam. The 42-year-old is third all-time on the LPGA win list with 72, third all-time in majors (10) and the only player in LPGA history to shoot 59 in a round.

Sorenstam retired from professional golf in 2008 but that doesn't mean she still isn't a big part of the game. She appears frequently on the Golf Channel's "Morning Drive" show and ... alright, I tried. I tried to make this article normal and natural but I just ... I can't.

On Tuesday, Sorenstam tweeted a picture of an accident she had while slicing chicken for a dinner and the results are pretty grotesque.

Before you jump, I warn you, the picture of her finger is not for the queasy. Click at your own risk.

Mark Wilson — Getty ImagesThis year I was coerced by a hockey writing friend of mine to do a weekly one-and-done golf pool that allows you to pick one golfer never to use them again in 2013. Since I'm doing it for fun (and DEFINITELY not for money, no way, no how), I figured I'd post my weekly picks here, with who I've already used under it and my record for the year, and against the others in the pool. We're calling this Darts in the Dark.

Sony Open Pick -- Mark Wilson

I did the math (yes, MATH!) and there are 34 more events left in this pool (it stops after the Tour Championship, with the B-level events during the season that go up against WGC events not counted), and I figured that means you can pretty much go with a heavy hitter each week without getting burned.

Tiger Woods — Getty ImagesYou want a little Tiger Woods in your life? No worries, because it'll come in just over a week. Woods, currently the No. 3 golfer in the world, announced on his website on Wednesday that he is planning on playing in Abu Dhabi next week, a tournament he co-lead for 54 holes a year ago.

The tournament, held at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, kicks off on January 17, and will have a field that includes Tiger and Rory McIlroy, two guys that played together at this event a year ago for the first three rounds (no word yet if they're paired this time, but if the start of 2013 is anything like the end of '12, expect to see them side by side).

It's hard not to enjoy Ben Crane. Sure, he's a little slow on the golf course, but the four-time PGA Tour winner seems to enjoy being a professional golfer and brings his strange sense of humor to the Internet every few months.

His latest installment deals with his one big problem on the golf course, and apparently in life; snail pace.

Crane talks to a "shrink" in the video trying to better examine why he must go slow at all times. Trust me, it's two minutes worth watching.

On Tuesday at Kapalua, things seemed to be falling apart for Dustin Johnson. He had hit two errant tee shots in a matter of fives holes that had cost him four shots and narrowed his lead over Steve Stricker to just one.

That was until the 14th hole, when Johnson unleashed his new R1 TaylorMade driver near the front of the green and chipped in for two, giving him the cushion he had needed to get through the next four holes and win the first PGA Tour tournament of 2013.

How big was this win for Johnson? Well everyone wants to get that first trophy of the new season as fast as possible, and it is the first time since Tiger Woods came onto the tour that someone has won at least one tournament in his first six seasons on tour. Johnson is the real deal and when the putter is hot like it was in Hawaii, the field better hope the weather does something funky.

Dustin Johnson — Getty ImagesIt shouldn't surprise any of us that a year that ends in "13" should start this abnormally. The PGA Tour kicked off this season just like it always does, on the wind-whipped Plantation Course at Kapalua. A resort destination by most American's views as they sit in cold, wintery conditions, the PGA Tour's winners headed to Maui to find the sun shining and birdies a-flyin'.

But none of that happened early in the PGA Tour's opening scene. Wind caused players to head in and out and in again throughout the first four days of play, extinguishing a hot Thursday start by Webb Simpson and multiple attempts by Rickie Fowler to kick the 2013 season off.

And as strange as it was, when golf finally got going on Monday, things seemed ... normal. The big names started to float to the top, some of the players that we picked to have enormous seasons in '13 did just what we thought they might, and it felt like the PGA Tour again.

David Duval at the 1999 Bob Hope — Getty ImagesThere are few defining moments in the history of non-major golf more exciting than the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. David Duval, who had won four events in 1998 and two heading into the five-round event in '99, was trailing heading into Sunday before going nuclear at the Palmer Course at PGA West, firing a 13-under 59 that included an eagle on the final hole to win the tournament by a shot.

It not only was one of the most dramatic comebacks in golf history, but it was one of the best final rounds in history and one of the most clutch putts in the history of the game. The Bob Hope (now Humana) event was defined by the 59 that Duval shot that day, but history can obviously slip from a sponsor's mind after years of bad golf.

During the course of a PGA Tour season we see all sorts of temper tantrums. Guys have hit themselves in the head with their putter, gone crazy in bunkers and broke clubs over any and all surfaces of their bodies, but the bag kick a rarity.

That changed on Tuesday at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, when Bill Haas missed a short par putt on the par-5 15th and basically lost it. Haas went with the violent putter swing, then the complaining at the caddie followed by the Gramatica swipe at his golf bag.

It has been a strange week at Kapalua with all the weather delays and it seems it has caught up with certain players.
