โ€œAs a golfer my job takes me around the world but I love coming home especially in the winter.โ€ -Matthias Schwab 

With all the hubbub around the upcoming 2023 Ryder Cup to be played at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, Rome, Italy it remind me of tour player who fancies himself an ace skier. 28-year-old Austrian golferย Matthias Schwabย plays on the European Tour and the PGA but in an alternate reality he thinks he could have been a pro skier.ย  Kinda weird how he phrases itย โ€œas an Austrianโ€ย like any Austrian can go pro on the slopes but heโ€™s not afraid to post clips of himself crashing the gates (see IG video below). Would love to see him go head to head with Phil Mickelson who also fancies himself a bit of shredding when he not gracing fairways. Who you gotโ€ฆLefty or Schwab?

Hereโ€™s a couple clips of Phil Mickelson on the slopes. Swipe left to see him catch a bit of airtime:ย
