Bubba for mayor? Watson starts mulling life beyond golf (The Associated Press)

Bubba Watson is already thinking about his career after golf, which just might include public office.

He wants to run for mayor.

''I've had a dream,'' Watson said. ''I moved back in the city limits of Pensacola (Florida) so one day I can run for mayor.''

The two-time Masters champion already is building quite the local enterprise at home. Last year he became a part-owner of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a Double A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. This year, he opened a candy shop in Pensacola called ''Bubba's Sweet Spot,'' serving up premium candy and ice cream.
