Gary Player, who proudly boasts of being the "most travelled athlete" in history, has got nothing on Henrik Stenson at the moment. Check out this recent travel itinerary for the tireless Swede:

• Fly from home in Dubai to Volvo Masters in Spain (Nov 1-4): approximately 3,510 air miles
• Fly to Shanghai for HSBC Championship (Nov 8-11): 6,360 miles
• Fly to Japan for the Dunlop Phoenix (Nov 15-18): 1,140 miles
• Fly to South Africa for the Nedbank at Sun City (Nov 29-Dec 2): 8,480 miles
• Fly to second home in Orlando, Florida: 8,080 miles
• Fly to Los Angeles for the Target World Challenge (this weekend): 2,210 miles
• Fly back to Orlando for two weeks' rest: 2,210 miles
• Fly to Maui for the Mercedes-Benz Championship (Dec. 31-Jan 6): 4,670 miles     
• Fly back to Dubai home: 8,590 miles

Needless to say, it will have been worth it, as Stenson is making heaps of cash. And while those frequent flyer miles are estimates (presumably Stenson stopped back in Dubai on the way from Japan to South Africa) it all adds up to:

45,250 miles

Which is nearly twice around the world in less than 80 days. Stenson deadpanned: "Air miles are not a problem at the moment." Oh those hilarious Swedes.
Still probably not enough to impress Gary Player though, or Michael Palin ...
