Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm are arguably the two best golfers in the world. Who do you think is better?
Golf fans have been longing for the next Tiger Woods. The dust has settled from his dominance and it is becoming clearer that we may never see another Woods again.
But one positive from that realization is that golf fans can debate again who they believe is the best player in the world.
At this point, there are only two men you could possibly contemplate: Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm.

All four 1-seeds. The nation’s only unbeaten. The defending champs. And individual stars for days. The Sweet 16 is full of potential.

The accolades just keep on piling up for Caitlin Clark. The Iowa Hawkeyes star has been invited to participate in the United States women’s basketball training camp in Cleveland ahead of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
There’s only one problem: That camp is scheduled for April 3-5, and the NCAA Women’s Final Four takes place April 5 — with the National Championship game just two nights later. Of course, Iowa still has to win two more games to reach its second-straight Final Four, starting with Saturday’s Sweet 16 match-up against No. 5 Colorado in Albany.

The Huskies are three wins away from doing something that hasn’t been done in 17 years.
Billy Donovan should feel uncomfortable.
This has nothing to do with anything happening in Chicago, and everything to do with things happening in Boston.
Thursday night, the UConn Huskies put on absolute show inside TD Garden, pasting San Diego State by 30 in a rematch on last year’s national championship game that Danny Hurley’s team won by 17.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs released an epic hype video ahead of their Sweet 16 matchup with the Purdue Boilermakers. 
At 7:39 p.m. EST (for no good reason) the 5th-seeded Bulldogs will take on the top seed in the Midwest Region. Gonzaga had to beat McNeese and Kansas to get here, and the Bulldogs defeated each opponent by 25 or more points. Neither opponent was all that great, but a team playing great basketball in the tournament (like Gonzaga) should not be taken lightly. 
The Bulldogs fully believe they’re meant to be here, which adds to how dangerous they can be.

Padraig Harrington playing second shot at Houston Open from pine straw
Harrington still knows how to impress and win over fans on the PGA Tour despite being one of the older guys out there.
Padraig Harrington is one of the most beloved golfers on the PGA Tour. While he may not be on the main circuit as often as he once was, the Irishman still finds ways to draw attention.
The six-time PGA Tour winner carded an even-par 70 on Thursday at the Houston Open.
It wasn’t a phenomenal day on the course, but he produced one of the wildest shots of the day.

Aston Martin looking to poach Adrian Newey from Red Bull, per report
Formula 1’s driver transfer market is set to reached a fevered pitch this summer. Kicked into motion by the stunning news that Lewis Hamilton is set to leave Mercedes and driver for Ferrari next season, and coupled with the fact that over half the grid is driving on a contract that expires at the end of this season, the transfer market expects to be frantic this year.
Now it looks to extend beyond the drivers, and to perhaps the sport’s greatest engineer.

Damar Hamlin tore into Antonio Brown during an argument on X.
Hamlin made an incredible recovery and return to the NFL after suffering cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals on January 2, 2023.
It was one of the most terrifying moments in league history, and Hamlin’s heart stopped at one point. Fortunately, he was able to make a full recovery and return to the NFL this past season.
That’s probably why he didn’t enjoy Antonio Brown sending a viral tweet (joking?) that Hamlin wasn’t real and might have actually died. You can see the truly strange tweet below.

Officials admitted to blowing the call in the postgame pool report.
