To take a divot or to not take a divot, that is the viral question between Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods.
Scottie Scheffler continues to show how relatable he is despite playing mind-boggling golf. In a viral video from TaylorMade, he and Tiger Woods discuss divots. The topic seems simple enough, but throughout the video, Scheffler’s reactions say everything.
As the kids’ say, he is a vibe. Most people take divots when they’re hitting iron shots, but when the Big Cat is flushing it, he doesn’t.

Sergio Garcia, the two-time runner up at the PGA Championship, will not be in the field this weekend.
The PGA Championship field has some of the world’s best golfers, but fans won’t get to see Sergio Garcia at the event. 18 LIV Tour guys will tee it up at Oak Hill Country Club, but the fiery Spaniard will not be one of them.
This year’s event features 99 of the top 100 golfers in the world, with Will Zalatoris being the lone man out due to his back injury, per Golf News.
Amna Al Qubaisi is changing the narrative. Representing MP Motorsport, Al Qubaisi is competing in the inaugural season of F1 Academy, the new, all-female racing series that officially launched last month. The 23-year-old—who was born in Washington, Va.—is the first Emirati female racing driver to compete in a championship.
This season, Amna and her younger sister, Hamda, 20, who is competing on the same F1 Academy team, have already seen success—Amna placed second in Spielberg in late April, and Hamda finished first in Valencia earlier this month.
LIV Golf signing a broadcasting deal with the CW Network prior to the start of its second season earlier this year seemed like a step in the right direction. The Saudi-backed circuit was so pleased with the new TV deal that it even shared its ratings in press releases in March.
Now, two months later and six events into the new season, those ratings reports have disappeared, and disappeared by design.
There are a lot of bad umpires working in Major League Baseball these days, including Dan Iassogna, who had just a miserable night behind the plate in Wednesday’s Guardians–White Sox game in Chicago.
Iassogna’s most embarrassing call should lead to some sort of punishment from MLB because not only was it a badly called strike, but it also led to Iassogna ejecting Chicago’s Gavin Sheets because the right fielder had the audacity to scream at him for being really bad at his job.
Patrick Mahomes seems to want the NHL to return to Kansas City.
The future of the Arizona Coyotes is more up in the air than it has ever been (which is saying something) following news that their bid for a new arena in Tempe had been shot down by voters.
The ‘Yote’s spent this past season playing in the 5,000 Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State University, but that was always supposed to be a temporary move while they waited for a new, permanent, NHL-sized barn.
It sounds like that won’t be coming, at least not in Arizona.
ACC commissioner Jim Phillips says he’s not surprised seven of the schools in his league may just be looking for greener pastures. He said bluntly in his opening statement after conference meetings concluded: “That just isn’t news to me per se.” But it certainly was news to at least a few of the athletic directors in the room, who had a spirited discussion amongst each other before Phillips even walked in.
Despite a 45–6 record in four seasons as Ohio State coach after taking over for Urban Meyer, Ryan Day faces significant criticism from a loud segment of the Buckeyes fanbase. The biggest reason: two of those six losses have come at the hands of Michigan, Ohio State’s primary rival and a team that was winless against the Buckeyes under Meyer. The Wolverines broke the streak, which dated back to 2011, with a 42–27 win in ’21, and followed it up with a 45–23 win last season.
We officially live in a reality where Bad Bunny, the international music superstar, is swiping clients from Scott Boras, the widely-regarded top agent in baseball. It’s incredible.
Boras, 70, represents roughly 175 professional baseball clients through his agency, Boras Corporation. Forbes magazine dubbed him the ‘Most Powerful Sports Agent in the World.’
Boras Corp. has negotiated nine $200 million+ MLB contracts. The next-closest agency is MVP Sports Group, which has negotiated four.
Scott Boras gets people paid. It’s what he does.
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later.
With all these college football and basketball players transferring in and out of schools like a drive-through burger joint – often on whims and prayers – at some point the paper trails were going to catch up with them. As in grade transcripts.
Transcripts tend to be very important for real students, and apparently sometimes for “student-athletes.” But many don’t take the first part of that combination noun seriously.
