ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- The world’s two top golfers are meeting more and more often on the course, but neither No. 1-ranked Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods are ready to call it a rivalry.

The pair, set to meet at this week’s Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, has established a blossoming relationship since playing together for the first three rounds of last year’s tournament and expressed a mutual respect for one another’s game.

We will completely eschew any attempt at political correctness here as the source for this particular piece of social media information is the lady pictured herself, LPGA golfer Anna Rawson.

Rawson is a very decent player on the ladies pro tour but make no mistake about it, she makes the bulk of her income from personal promotion and modelling activities.

It was the question everybody was dying to ask Norwegian golfer Suzann Pettersen: What has the reaction been to her appearance in ESPN: The Magazine’s Body Issue.
