Yao Ming poses with Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell and Luke Donald

A lot of the top golfers in the world are currently making their yearly China swing, and if we keep getting photos like the one above I hope they never leave.

That picture is Yao Ming posing with Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell, and Luke Donald, and it is a helpful reminder that Yao Ming is very, very, very tall (well, not as tall as this guy, but still).

The crazy thing about that picture is you have to remember, Johnson is listed at 6-foot-4 and doesn’t even compare to the former NBA star, but whoever came up with this photo opportunity deserves a very, very nice steak dinner.

Also, since we’re talking Yao, take a second to check out his golf swing and this great photo of just how long his golf clubs are compared to a normal size golf bag.
