Bryson DeChambeau was one of golf’s biggest stars to jump ship from the PGA Tour and sign with LIV Golf. Like other big-name players who did the same, DeChambeau received a massive signing bonus to join the Saudi-backed circuit.
Now that the Tour and LIV have agreed upon a merger, DeChambeau is looking like a genius while players who passed on huge paydays look foolish.

Some fun questions looking ahead to the season (and even next year’s draft) hit the inbox today.
The term “sleeper” has different meanings for different people in the world of fantasy football. Some folks believe it’s simply a player who will outperform his draft position. Others think it’s a relatively unknown or once forgotten player who unexpectedly emerges or re-emerges into a useful fantasy option.
In my opinion, both definitions are true but with a caveat. I don’t see a player as a sleeper if he’s already been a valuable fantasy asset during his career. For example, Aaron Rodgers or D’Andre Swift aren’t “sleepers” to me.
The day that Reds fans have long been waiting for finally came on Tuesday, as star prospect Elly De La Cruz made his first career start in the big leagues.
The 21-year-old third baseman, who recently hit a home run over a scoreboard in the minors, got on base twice with walks and also got his first career hit—a scorched double that he made look way too easy.
Even better for the Reds, they were able to score three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9–8.
Let’s get back to De La Cruz’s first hit because all of it was impressive.
When the Women’s College World Series championship kicks off Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET, No. 1 Oklahoma will try to cap a historic season with a third consecutive title, while No. 3 Florida State will do everything it can to prevent that.
Here’s the rundown for the best-of-three series.
Just How Good Is Oklahoma?
It’s almost impossible to understate it. This is potentially the best team in the history of the sport. The Sooners are 59–1 with a record 51-game win streak (and counting).
It’s Corbin Day, and here at SI, that means we are going over.
The Nationals will host the Diamondbacks tonight at National Park in D.C. Lefty Patrick Corbin gets the start today, and those who follow this column know that we always bet the over when Corbin starts. It cashes nearly every time, and we aren’t going to mess with what’s been working. Corbin’s ERA for this season is 4.92, but his xERA is 6.11, and tonight he faces a D-backs team that has scored the sixth-most runs per game this season (5.03). Arizona owns the ninth-best batting average vs.
BATON ROUGE, La. – Either way, LSU pitcher Paul Skenes’ life will be centered around jet fuel.
At the moment, he is throwing it for the Tigers. He hit 101.2 mph on his 124th and final pitch for the last out in the ninth inning against Tulane last Friday in an NCAA Regional opener. And he was not pitching on fumes by any means in his longest outing of the season. Skenes hit 100.02 and 100.15 earlier in the count against that last batter in his 7-2 win.
Oh, and Paul Skenes mixed in an 89 mph slider to Brennan Lambert just before he grounded out to shortstop to end the game.
The cliché of football being a young man’s game might not apply to inside linebackers.
Bobby Wagner, Demario Davis and Lavonte David are all 32 or older, but the trio continued to play at a high level for their respective teams in 2022.
NFL teams are playing fewer off-ball linebackers nowadays, but they’re asking more from them. The ones who tend to succeed in today’s game are the ones who can contribute in many areas, from pass rushing to run stopping to playing in coverage. That’s why Wagner, Davis and David remain three of the best linebackers in the league.
As we enter the lone remaining hibernation period on the NFL’s calendar, there is one lingering question for which I’m struggling to find an answer: Why aren’t we talking more about the cataclysmic impact the Cardinals could have on this NFL season?
Think about the most important benchmarks on the coming NFL calendar (the trade deadline, free agency and the massively anticipated 2024 draft), and ask yourself how Arizona could avoid becoming a major player in all three. It all comes back to Pepe Silvia.
