Although on the heels of a major, these five golfers have plenty to play for at the PGA Tour’s penultimate regular season event, the 3M Open.
The PGA Tour is now headed to the land of 10,000 lakes, where some of the world’s best golfers will tee it up in the 3M Open.
TPC Twin Cities will play host, which it has done since 2018—the 7,431-yard, par-72 layout used to be a staple on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.

Here are the top players who could be moved at the MLB trade deadline.
Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is rapidly approaching, which means that it’s time to start figuring out who could be on the move and who could actually be staying put once the deadline passes on Aug. 1. There are always plenty of interesting names that are on the trade market every season and this season is no different. One name in particular stands out from the rest and is probably the biggest name to hit the trade deadline rumor mill in a long, long time.

Welp.
The Broncos’ blockbuster trade for Russell Wilson already lives in infamy, and somehow it found a way to get even worse for Denver.
Eyioma Uwazurike, the only player other than Wilson to come from the trade (by way of a 4th round pick in 2022) was suspended by the NFL indefinitely on Monday for gambling on NFL games. He’s the 10th player to be caught gambling, but one of only a handful who bet on league games. Uwazurike will now miss the entire 2023 season, with potential reinstatement not coming before July 24, 2024.
The definition of a “boom or bust” fantasy player is simple. Either a player performs to or above his average draft position (ADP), or he fails to meet those expectations. Some players can fit under the definition of both labels before drafts, however.
Last season, Saquon Barkley was the poster boy for such a player.
The Giants running back had barely played the previous two seasons due to injuries, and when he did play, he wasn’t nearly as productive as he was as a rookie. Still, he was a second-round pick in many leagues. That created a boom or bust scenario.
Aces star Candace Parker will be out indefinitely after undergoing successful surgery on a fracture in her foot, according to a release from the team early Tuesday morning.
The statement from Las Vegas said that Parker had been playing on a fracture in her foot all season but recently consulted with the team’s medical staff and opted to have surgery instead of risking further injury to her ailing foot.
The veteran big has started 18 games for the Aces this season after coming over from the Sky in free agency to join the defending WNBA champions. She has averaged 9.0 points and 3.
Ledecky won her 15th individual gold medal Tuesday at the world championships.
Errol Spence Jr. is a human oxymoron. He is a fierce, undefeated, punishing boxer. And he might be the nicest, most understated superstar in sports. That’s Spence: kind fighter, pleasant champion. And it’s a duality he embraces, because, to him, it’s not a duality at all.
“People see me outside the ring, I’m so nonchalant. I’m chill,” he says. “I don’t let too much bother me. I don’t let people inside my world. A lot of people can’t even believe I box.”
Spence points to one particular fight as evidence over a Zoom call in mid-June. Maybe his fourth. Maybe his seventh.
The Giants and RB Saquon Barkley have agreed to a 1-year deal worth up to $11 million, sources confirmed Tuesday to ESPN.
The running back position has become the proverbial black sheep of the National Football League, at least as it pertains to getting paid. NFL teams simply don’t value the position as they once did, resulting in a lot of unhappy runners (just ask Austin Ekeler). It also appears to have resulted in one holdout, as Josh Jacobs will not be present at Raiders camp. Saquon Barkley was also expected to hold out, but he and the Giants agreed to a one-year deal Tuesday, so he’ll avoid any missed time.
That leaves Jacobs as the lone back to be in a “holding out” pattern.
