The Showdown pits two of the best players on the PGA Tour, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, against two from LIV Golf, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. On the eve of The Showdown, the players hit up the range to […]

A month ago, The Telegraph reported that members of the Team USA Ryder Cup squad would be paid $400,000. The news sent shock waves throughout the golf world. Previously, players were paid $200,000 to be given to their foundations for charity. The Ryder Cup is arguably the most prestigious event in the sport. It is […]

The Chicago White Sox are coming off the worst season in the franchise’s history. They lost a record 121 games in 2024, including losing 21 games in a row. Clearly, this team will have no immediate success and, therefore, is looking to the future. With that in mind, they pulled off the biggest trade of […]

Scottie Scheffler has officially entered rarified air. On Tuesday, he was named the 2024 PGA Tour Player of the Year. It is the third straight season in which Scheffler won the Jack Nicklaus Award. The last player to accomplish that feat was Tiger Woods. The 15-time major champion did so twice, winning five straight from […]

Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau were once arch-enemies. They have since buried that hatchet, especially after leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. But the animosity that fueled a rivalry was so high for a while. As it turns out, Koepka had it all wrong, though. Koepka and DeChambeau recently joined a conference call together […]

The golf world witnessed Scottie Scheffler once again solidify his reign over the sport on Sunday. Scheffler won the Hero World Challenge by six strokes, erasing a deficit to begin the final round.

The Hero World Challenge, hosted by Tiger Woods, was held this weekend at Albany Golf Course in the Bahamas.

For many golf fans, this weekend marks the beginning of the golf season. Twenty of the world’s most talented players are in the field at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

This week, 20 of the world’s best golfers will tee it up at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Typically, Tiger Woods is both the host and a player, but this year, he is unable to compete. But as the tournament host, Woods still addressed the media as he does every year. Woods detailed […]

Since its inception in 2022, LIV Golf has made its name by poaching some of the best golfers on the planet. LIV has been able to accomplish that goal through the use of seemingly unlimited funds. They are bankrolled by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). The PIF has an estimated worth of over $900 […]

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has been a point of contention for many golf fans. Over the last couple of years, Monahan has watched as LIV Golf has peeled away top-level talent. Meanwhile, PGA Tour tournament sponsors are leaving as television ratings continue to fall. But if fans were not thrilled with Monahan’s job performance […]

Since the inception of LIV Golf, the PGA Tour’s rival league has slowly peeled away one star after another. One year ago, Jon Rahm became the most prominent figure in golf to jump ship. Throughout the 2024 season, many wondered who would be next, with Tony Finau being one player consistently floated around. Well, the […]

The Ryder Cup is arguably the most prestigious event in all of golf. Yes, it is an individual sport, and therefore, the four majors are where legacies are made. But the Ryder Cup has a special significance, filled with national pride. Every two years, the best Americans and Europeans square off, drawing all eyes in […]

The Chicago Bears lost their sixth consecutive game on Thursday, dropping a tight contest against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, 23-20.

Ultimately, time ran out on Chicago, as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams’ final […]

The New York Giants season has officially gone off the rails. The Giants are 2-9, have released Daniel Jones, and cannot even keep Tommy DeVito healthy. On Thursday, the Giants travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys for their Thanksgiving Day game. The rivalry game was already sure to be a challenge, but things got […]

The Atlanta Hawks are not having the best start to their 2024-2024 NBA season. But they do have something in common with the defending champion Boston Celtics. The Hawks are the only other team to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. The Hawks took care of the Cavs, 135-124, with Trae Young silencing the road […]

Despite coming off a tough loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-3 and in first place in the AFC North. The offense has looked vastly improved since Russell Wilson replaced Justin Fields at quarterback. Maybe the biggest beneficiary has been wide receiver George Pickens. Pickens, who has previously caught some heat for […]

The Washington Commanders slide continued in Week 12, losing to the lowly Dallas Cowboys at home Sunday, 34-26. It was the Commanders’ third consecutive loss, dropping them to 7-5 on the season. To make matters worse, they lost both running backs, Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler, to injury. Robinson Jr. left Sunday’s game with […]

Since the inception of LIV Golf, the golfing world has been shaken to its core. The PGA Tour has seen some of its top-end talent peeled away by the Saudi-funded rival. Yet, LIV Golf has struggled to gain any attraction on television, with its ratings still in the tank. Maybe that is why LIV Golf […]

Greg Norman has become, in many ways, the face of LIV Golf. The upstart rival to the PGA Tour is led by Norman, who has been very outspoken about the prominence of the tour. He certainly has some basis of understanding global golf. Few players in the history of the sport have seen the global […]

Tiger Woods has not played golf professionally since missing the cut at the 152nd Open Championship.

Eighteen of the 20 pairings for the 2024 PNC Championship were released […]

The great schism between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf has persisted longer than many expected. The self-imposed deadline to get a deal done has come and gone. But now that President-Elect Trump has won his way back into the White House, that might be about to change. President Trump played a round of golf […]

The Ryder Cup is considered one of the, if not the, most prestigious event in the sport of golf. It pits the best players in the world against each other in a team format, with the best Americans squaring off against the best Europe has to offer. The event goes back nearly 100 years. There […]

Rory McIlroy has had a very tumultuous year. McIlroy came up short at the U.S. Open in heartbreaking fashion, missed the cut at The Open, and lost steam at the PGA Tour Championship, finishing ninth. But those results illustrated how high the expectations are for the 35-year-old. McIlroy entered this week’s DP World Tour Championship […]

If reports are to be believed, members of Team USA at the 2025 Ryder Cup will each receive a $400,000 stipend. That is in stark contrast to past tournaments and the spirit of the event. For example, the same players received $200,000 at Marco Simone in 2023 to be donated to a charity they chose. […]

The Philadelphia Eagles entered Thursday Night Football a half-game ahead of the Washington Commanders for first place in the NFC East.

Professional golf’s division between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf not only exists but does not appear to have an end in sight. Maybe that is why some players have moved beyond bringing the game back together and instead focusing on other avenues. Adrian Meronk, who is gearing up for this week’s DP World Tour […]

The DP World Tour Championship is upon us, with Thursday kicking off the final event of the European circuit. Many of the world’s best golfers will descend upon Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.

A full PGA Tour schedule can be grueling for even the best of players. Unlike most professional team sports, golf happens year-round. The schedule can be even more daunting if a player is struggling or failing to live up to expectations. That appears to be the case for one of the world’s greatest players, Rory […]

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football in another shootout, 35-34. The second half was particularly insane as both offenses moved up and down the field. But it was not always like that. The Ravens’ offense was sluggish and out of sorts, leading to a 21-7 deficit in the third quarter. […]

The Cincinnati Bengals entered Thursday Night Football in Baltimore looking for revenge against the Ravens. The Bengals let a late lead slip away in Week 5 in a heart-wrenching loss to the Ravens and looked to return the favor. Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase certainly has done his part. During the fourth quarter, Chase […]

It was also their fourth at […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have done it. They have won the World Series, beating the New York Yankees in five games.
