The Internet thinks golfers are really old

April 30, 2015

How-Old.net is experiencing a viral moment. It's a website that computes how old people look based on a photo. We thought it might be fun to see how old the Internet thinks certain golfers look:

Lydia Ko is 18 years old. How-Old thinks she's 46.[#image: /photos/55ad7d1cadd713143b42ce6a]|||blog-old-ko.jpg|||

Miguel Angel Jimenez is 51 years old. The internet thinks he's 75. (Very fitting, actually.)__

Jordan Spieth is 21 years old. How-Old thinks he's 36.__

And apparently Spieth ages by three years when he takes his hat off.__

John Daly is 49 years old. The internet thinks he's 66.__

Rickie Fowler is 26 years old. Apparently he looks like he's 44?__

Gary Player is 79 years old, and even HE looks older than his actual age (!).__

Tiger Woods is 39 years old and he's the ONLY golfer we found who looks younger than his age.__

But Tiger looks younger than his actual age (39) only when he has his hat on.__

The world's No. 1 golfer is 25 years old. The Internet kind of agrees.__

Of the eight golfers we tested, How-Old thinks they look an average of nearly 16 years old than their actual age. So yeah, apply that sunblock, you guys.
