For the first time since 2001, Tiger Woods has won the Player's Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida!

Just the other day we were talking about how much this championship meant to Tiger — it wasn't just another round of golf. It was his 78th victory, and his 300th start during his PGA tour career! Which is pretty cool, because Tiger also won his 100th start and 200th start, keeping the trend alive!

Even more interesting is the fact that the whole match wasn't just some blowout! It came down to the final two holes for Tiger to squeak out the victory, in VERY dramatic fashion!

How exciting! We hope he celebrated properly! Ha!

Time flies when you're the most world-renowed pro-golfer, doesn't it? Just like a little white ball pounded by a massive driver!

It seems like just yesterday that the talented fabness that was Tiger Woods entered and changed the game — he brought it a present-day excitement that seemed to have been lost on a sport known for its ability to get us to take naps! LOLz!

The Players Championship this weekend will mark the milestone for Tiger, who has had one of the most historic and successful careers of any golfer in the sport. We mean, he just captured the 77th win of his career at Bay Hill in March!

We wish him all the best this weekend! What an achievement!!

This has been a long time coming!

New York City has become the first area in the nation to finally open up a senior center that specifically caters to the LGBT community!

The Innovative Senior Center in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood is run by SAGE, which stands for Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders.

Openly gay City Council Speaker Christine Quinn attended the opening ceremony last Thursday and called it a milestone for New Yorkers in the LGBT community, explaining:

"There was a time not so long ago when both of those things would have seemed impossible. And we are sending a message today that the impossible is not only possible, it is expected."

So true! We don't just want equality for all, we EXPECT it!
