Watch: How social-distancing golfers are killing time

The entire sports world is likely a little bored during the impromptu offseason the coronavirus outbreak has forced.

For their part, professional golfers are dealing with the abundance of free time in different ways.

Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler are social distancing on the golf course. Last Sunday, Thomas shot a 65 but got "smoked" by Fowler, who went incredibly low with a 60.

On Wednesday, the duo was back on the course, and the competition was heated. Thomas needed a late-match birdie and risked it all playing out of the mud.

Off the course, Ian Poulter has a wicked Formula 1 simulator. It's probably not the cheapest item to install in your house, but it's cool nonetheless.

The Englishman is also killing time in the gym, and showing that Brooks Koepka isn't the only player on Tour who can curl 50 pounds ...

Austria's Matthias Schwab is combining video games and workouts, although he's probably better off splitting the two activities up to kill more time.

Billy Horschel called out Thomas and Rory McIlroy for a Peloton challenge. These golfers are going to come back in better shape than ever.

While there are no tournaments being held, golfers are still getting their swings in. Padraig Harrington showed off his immaculate backyard setup that comes with winning three major titles.

Justin Rose is working on his trick shots.

Alex Noren's do-it-yourself swing studio isn't perfect, but it gets the job done.

And finally, Erik van Rooyen can shred the electric guitar. Enjoy!
