"The Merry Mex" made a career out of defying the odds—a self-taught golfer who rose from humble Texas beginnings to snag six major championships and famously survived being struck by lightning on the course in 1975. At 86, Trevino still cracks jokes and offers commentary, proving that the man who once said "you can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen" hasn't lost his wit. Given that he's already beaten Mother Nature at her most dramatic, betting against this Hall of Famer feels like a gamble he'd happily take.
