Tiger Woods unveiled his much-anticipated Sun Day Red apparel line ahead of his PGA Tour season debut at the Genesis Invitational. The Signature Event at Riviera (which Woods hosts) will mark the first tournament of his career at which he won’t be wearing Nike. Woods and the Swoosh ended their iconic 27-year partnership in January. […]

Tiger Woods will have a new caddie when he makes his PGA Tour season debut at the Genesis Invitational. The 15-time major champion has reportedly selected Lance Bennett to be on his bag later this week at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. Bennett is a veteran of the PGA Tour. He previously caddied for […]

For Spencer Dinwiddie, the presence of LeBron James is a more effective recruiting tool for the Los Angeles Lakers than Christian Wood’s well-intentioned recruiting pitches. Dinwiddie was bought out by the Toronto Raptors after the trade deadline, attended the Lakers’ win with Rob Pelinka on Friday, then signed after clearing waivers on Saturday. At practice […]

The Dallas Mavericks likely won’t be amused by the analogy Spencer Dinwiddie used to explain his decision to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers rather than return to the Mavs. “I’ll give y’all something funny that I told my people ’cause I’m fairly candid,” Dinwiddie teased when asked, at Lakers practice on Monday, how he […]

If Nick Taylor has a birdie putt in a playoff setting, you can bet on the ball ending in the cup. On Sunday, with darkness setting in (and Super Bowl VII well underway), Taylor (-21) birdied five of the last six holes — including two playoff holes — to outlast Charley Hoffman and win the […]

Ahead of his PGA Tour season debut at the 2024 Genesis Invitational, Tiger Woods teased a preview of his highly-anticipated apparel line with TaylorMade. Woods and Nike announced the end of their 27-year partnership in January. “A new day rises. 2.2.14.” Woods wrote on X, along with a picture of him in a signature red […]

D’Angelo Russell led the Los Angeles Lakers in scoring on Friday — and, possibly scoops, too. Russell “spearheaded” the Lakers’ offensive barrage against the New Orleans Pelicans, described head coach Darvin Ham. In his first game since the 2024 NBA trade deadline — he missed Thursday’s loss vs. the Denver Nuggets due to a knee […]

The PGA Tour’s elite, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, are set to reap the bulk of the rewards from the $930 million in initial equity payouts resulting from the Strategic Sports Group’s multi-billion dollar investment in professional golf. On Wednesday — ahead of the 2024 WM Phoenix Open — PGA Tour players received a […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are ready to put the 2024 NBA trade deadline in the rearview mirror and focus on the homestretch. The problem is, as LeBron James and Anthony Davis emphasized after an all-too-familiar loss to the Denver Nuggets, they still don’t have a grasp of their potential. “I don’t know,” LeBron replied when […]

Los Angeles Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka explained the front office’s decision not to make a move before the 2024 NBA trade deadline. Pelinka said the Lakers fielded “hundreds” of calls and numerous offers, just not the “right” one. Pelinka noted the lack of “marquis names” that changed teams […]

The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a statue of Kobe Bryant outside Crypto.com Arena on Thursday. Vanessa Bryant introduced the statue after brief speeches from Derek Fisher, Phil Jackson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Stu Lantz, and Jeanie Buss. The statue is a pose of Bryant walking off the court after scoring 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in […]

The Los Angeles Lakers stood pat the 2024 NBA trade deadline, possibly to the chagrin of LeBron James. The Lakers hung onto D’Angelo Russell and opted to forego pursuing nominal upgrades to keep open the opportunity to chase a star this offseason. Despite LeBron’s subtweeting, the inaction from Rob Pelinka is understandable considering the options […]

Cristobal Del Solar, ranked 259th in the Official World Golf Ranking, forever etched his name in golf history on Thursday by becoming the first player to card a 57 in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event. Del Solar — whose one career appearance on the PGA Tour was a missed cut at the 2023 Mexico Open at […]

With the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline minutes away, the Los Angeles Lakers are leaning towards punting until this offseason, according to TNT and Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes. The Lakers have one future first-round pick (2029 or 2030) they can trade today, but — due to CBA stipulations — will have two additional future firsts to […]

D’Angelo Russell did not participate in the Los Angeles Lakers’ practice on Wednesday one day before the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline (noon PT). According to Lakers coach Darvin Ham, DLo — briefly spotted off to the side in sweats — was held out because of a scheduled treatment on Tuesday. “DLo didn’t participate,” Ham said. […]

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler joined the chorus of PGA Tour stars — including Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Rickie Fowler — in disagreement with World No. 2 Rory McIlroy over how defectors to the LIV Golf League should be re-ingratiated. “You had some guys that left our tour and then sued our tour. That […]

LeBron James seems a tad underwhelmed with the Los Angeles Lakers as the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline nears. The Lakers are 27-25, middle of the road on offense and defense, facing the play-in tournament (again). Over the past week — which culminated in a three-game win streak — LeBron has verbally stuck to basketball when […]

The 1.0 version of the 2023-24 Los Angeles Lakers completed its 52-game beta test on Monday with a 124-118 win over a shorthanded Charlotte Hornets group (things got too close for comfort late, but Los Angeles overall rolled). The next time the Lakers lace it up, on Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets, the 2024 […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ next game, on Thursday vs. the Denver Nuggets, will be preceded by the unveiling of Kobe Bryant’s statue outside of Crypto.com Arena. Naturally, Bryant, who shared a close relationship with Anthony Davis, is top of mind. On Monday, Davis notched his third-career triple-double (26 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks) […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have plenty of room for improvement before the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline passes on Thursday at noon PT. They remain hopeful contenders by dint of having LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, they’re keenly aware of their mediocrity. The Lakers are 26-25, ninth in the Western Conference, with a -57 point […]

After undergoing further testing, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Jarred Vanderbilt was diagnosed with a sprain in the middle of his right foot and will be re-evaluated by doctors in three to four weeks. Vanderbilt exited the Lakers’ win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday at TD Garden shortly before halftime. While pushing the […]

Wyndham Clark was declared the winner of the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after the final round was called off due to inclement weather. Clark (-17) held a one-stroke lead over ascendant star Ludvig Aberg following a blistering 12-under 60 in Round 3. Clark’s 190 total feet of made putts (including two eagles) was the […]

It took one event for Jon Rahm to make a seismic impact on LIV Golf. The reigning Masters champion — who joined LIV for a reported $600 million — is captain of Legion XIII, which includes recent $60 million defector Tyrrell Hatton, Caleb Surratt, and Kieran Vincent. Legion XIII made their debut at LIV Golf […]

Seconds after securing a win at Mayakoba — on a fourth-playoff hole against his childhood hero Sergio Garcia, shrouded in near-darkness — Joaquin Niemann expressed hope that LIV Golf players will see the light of major championship golf in 2024. “But I’m not in the majors,” Niemann said as soon as a microphone was placed […]

The Los Angeles Lakers followed up their unlikeliest win of the season with their most complete — and arguably their most impressive. Led by LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and spot-on fourth-quarter defensive execution, the Lakers (26-25) fended off Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks, thus ending their nine-game winning streak. “It’s a […]

Ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup with the New York Knicks on Saturday night, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham finally responded publicly to LeBron James’ cryptic hourglass tweet. Not surprisingly, the head coach defended his star’s implied impatience. “S–t, I would’ve put out two or three hourglass emojis by now,” Ham said at Madison […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James spoke to reporters on Saturday for the first time since his hourglass tweet on Tuesday raised questions about whether the 39-year-old is losing confidence in his team as the trade deadline approaches. When asked directly if he’d like to clarify his tweet — which came on the heels of back-to-back […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, possibly longer, with a right foot injury. Vanderbilt will undergo further evaluation on his right foot to determine the duration of his absence, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Dave McMenamin reported on Friday. A season-ending procedure is on the table. Vanderbilt injured […]

Powered by a red-hot Austin Reaves, the Los Angeles Lakers improbably defeated the Boston Celtics, 114-105, at TD Garden on Thursday night, despite the absence of LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (hip). The Celtics (now 37-12) entered Thursday with the best record in the NBA and a historic 22-2 mark at home. The Lakers […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are still searching for stability. LeBron James is subtweeting after blowout losses. Christian Wood is posting cryptic messages shortly after starting lineups are announced. Proven successful groupings are going untested. None of the players seem happy about the combination of lineups being deployed by Ham. Meanwhile, the Lakers are 24-25, coming […]

The Los Angeles Lakers ruled out LeBron James and Anthony Davis for Thursday night’s nationally televised matchup against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Davis was listed as questionable with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and a left hip spasm. LeBron had been listed as questionable with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. AD missed the Lakers’ loss to […]

The PGA Tour announced a substantial financial and strategic investment on Wednesday, though not the long-awaited arrangement with the LIV Golf League. In the meantime, the PGA Tour will partner with private equity firm Strategic Sports Group (SSG) to launch PGA Tour Enterprises, a for-profit venture run by the tour. SSG is comprised of a […]

LeBron James issued a blunt State of the Los Angeles Lakers following his team’s 138-122 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night. It was the second blowout defeat for the Lakers in as many days, following their sluggish showing on Monday against the Houston Rockets. Playing without Anthony Davis (hip) for the third time […]

Christian Wood posted “Lol” on X minutes before the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night at State Farm Arena. Wood’s post, at 4:1o p.m. PT, came about 10 minutes after the Lakers publicly revealed their starting lineup. Noticeably, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham tapped Jaxson Hayes, not Wood, to get […]

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Anthony Davis for Tuesday night’s matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, the team announced. AD has aggravated the hip/groin issue he’s been managing since November in each of the last two games. He gingerly exited the Lakers’ win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday — following a hard […]

Anthony Davis did not hold back when expressing his displeasure with Dillon Brooks — who committed questionable fouls on LeBron James and Jarred Vanderbilt in the Houston Rockets’ lopsided win over the Los Angeles Lakers at the Toyota Center on Monday night. In the second quarter, Brooks placed his hand on Vanderbilt’s back as the […]

Anthony Davis re-aggravated his lingering hip/groin injury in the second half of the Los Angeles Lakers loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday night at the Toyota Center. AD said he’ll be a game-time decision for Tuesday’s visit to face the Atlanta Hawks. Davis exited Saturday’s game vs. the Golden State Warriors in the third […]

The 2024 Sundance Film Festival wrapped on Sunday, concluding 10 days of Hollywood movers and shakers descending on the otherwise quaint mountain town of Park City, Utah. The festival — celebrating its fortieth anniversary — featured 91 projects from established genre filmmakers, indie darlings, and exciting up-and-comers (including a former president’s daughter). The festival’s function […]

On Saturday night at the Chase Center, LeBron James — the oldest player in the NBA — set a career-high with 20 rebounds, became the first Los Angeles Lakers player to drop a 30-20-10 triple-double since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1976, and led his team to a 145-144 double-overtime win over Stephen Curry and the Golden […]
