Professional golf has designated the same four tournaments as major championships since 1934, the year of the first Masters. Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee believes a fifth major should be introduced and has tapped The Players to fill that slot.
Why? Because a few top players took Saudi money and joined LIV Golf; adding a major exclusive to the PGA Tour would deliver a significant blow to the breakaway circuit.
During Wednesday’s edition of ‘Live From The Open,’ Chamblee made his case for The Players to officially be recognized as a fifth major.

For years NFL players have been asking, begging, pleading with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and team owners to get rid of artificial grass.
Their reasons are well founded, from legitimate injury concerns to this past year’s Super Bowl being a complete crap show because the geniuses decided to use a new type of laboratory grown hybrid grass. The result? Players slipping and sliding all over the place, perhaps even contributing to Eagles cornerback James Bradberry’s holding penalty that led to the team losing to the Chiefs.
Pro Basketball Hall of Famer Spencer Haywood played long before LeBron James entered the NBA in the early 2000s. However, that doesn’t mean that Haywood didn’t have an impact on James becoming the league’s all-time leading scorer last season.
In fact, Haywood believes he played a key part in James breaking the record. His reasoning actually makes some sense.
“Oh he’s going to add to the record but, you also have to think, he would not have broken that record if he didn’t have four extra years that Spencer Haywood provided for him,” Haywood told Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson.
Twins closer Jhoan Durán throws harder than anyone in the major leagues. His average fastball velocity of 101.8 mph is the highest in baseball this season. Of the 283 fastballs he’s thrown this season, only six have been under 100 mph (three at 99.9, two at 99.4 and one at 99.2).
But Durán has never thrown a pitch as fast as the one he threw in the ninth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Mariners. With one out and two runners on, Durán threw an inside fastball to Eugenio Suárez that was clocked at a blazing 104.8 mph.
The latest sign Tom Brady is totally done playing in the NFL? He’s finding other ways to satisfy his competitive drive.
Brady has invested as a team owner in the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) E1 World Championship, a race boat championship.
The former quarterback, who boat raced the entire NFL en route to seven Super Bowl championships over his career, is now setting his sights on all-electric race boats.
The UIM E1 World Championship is scheduled to being in 2024.
According to current average draft position data, only four quarterbacks are being taken in the first three to four rounds in fantasy drafts. So what happens if you don’t grab Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts or Joe Burrow early in your draft?
There are worthy passers to take in the middle rounds, but many fantasy managers employ the strategy of loading up on the best skill-position guys they can get and waiting until the later rounds to grab an under-the-radar quarterback who they believe can still post sufficient numbers.
Austin Reaves spent plenty of time defending Warriors star Stephen Curry during the 2023 NBA Playoffs, and it’s safe to say the Lakers guard walked away feeling the pain of it. Reaves joined Showtime Basketball’s All The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and discussed going head-to-head with Curry.
Reaves admitted that guarding the Golden State star was “hell” and said during the first two games of their series, he couldn’t make a shot because he “had no legs” from chasing him around.
“It’s honestly hell, to be honest.
Gardner-Johnson isn’t a fan of Eagles fans.
Drama and high scores lurk in Royal Liverpool’s final two holes, as several players can already testify.
As soon as Becky Sauerbrunn became captain of the U.S. women’s national team, she began preparing the squad to one day be without her.
It wasn’t that she felt retirement was imminent when she landed the captaincy in January 2021. (Hardly.) But she had been around long enough to know the value of planning ahead. Sauerbrunn was first called up to the national team in ’08. The center back had played through coaching changes and strategy shifts. She had been on the fringes of the roster and on the pitch for every minute of a triumphant World Cup.
