Yao Ming totally towers over Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods, you may have heard, is in China this week to promote golf, his redesign of a Beijing course in the nation where the game is technically illegal and to shill for his primary sponsor.

During a photo op at Swoosh HQ in Shanghai, Woods chatted a bit with former NBA player Yao Ming, who is way taller than the former world’s No. 1 golfer.

I hope the injury-plagued Woods, who tweaked his wrist in the final round of the Masters but committed on Friday to compete at The Players Championship in two weeks, didn’t get a cramp in his neck by having to gaze up at the retired hoopster.
