Brooks Koepka has enjoyed tremendous success and earned an obscene amount of money since joining LIV Golf in 2022, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t recognize that the Saudi-backed league has quite a ways to go.
The 34-year-old reportedly signed a seven-figure contract to join LIV Golf three years ago and has won the most individual titles on the new circuit with five, three of which came via playoff victories.

In an interview with GQ Sports, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne revealed why her relationship with former Tigers pitcher Paul Skenes nearly derailed in the early stages.
“He wouldn’t follow me back on Instagram,” Dunne told GQ. “I was like, ‘who is this kid and why won’t he follow me back?’”
Skenes, who only recently started receiving more attention thanks to his young MLB career, rarely used his Instagram account at the time in early 2023. By August, the pair were officially together heading into their senior years in Baton Rouge.

UC Davis running back Lan Larison has gained a lot of attention as of late with an exceptional pro day performance earlier this week. The 6-foot, 215-pound do-it-all back reportedly raised some eyebrows in the New Orleans Saints organization as a potential day three selection in this year’s draft.
Putting together a clinic this week, Larison ran a 4.46-second 40 to go along with some impressive three-cone and short shuttle times. He also showed his explosiveness jumping 35.5 inches in the vertical, while landing a 10-foot broad jump.

The Carolina Panthers sit one pick ahead of the New Orleans Saints in the NFL draft, so their decision in the first round impacts the Saints beyond just being a divisional foe. They also have similar needs, wide receiver and edge rusher specifically. So, they’re a threat to keep players like Tetairoa McMillan, Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. from getting to the Saints. Kay Adams tried to pry some information on the Panthers’ draft strategy out of Dave Canales, but he didn’t let much slip.

AMES − As reporters flocked to speak to Jontez Williams after Iowa State football’s spring practice on Wednesday, the cornerback comfortably stood tall and smiled, like he’s gotten used to it.
Last year, Williams enjoyed a breakout season with the Cyclones. Taking on a much bigger role in the secondary as a redshirt sophomore, he emerged as a standout and earned All-Big 12 second-team honors.
Unsurprisingly, increased fanfare came his way during the season.
