Dunlap made history Sunday as he became a two-time PGA Tour winner at the Barracuda Championship, but it is deeper that that.
Nick Dunlap burst onto the scene in January when he won the American Express and became the first amateur since Phil Mickelson to win on the PGA Tour.

The 2024 Summer Games start this week in Paris. We have answers to your questions.

Simone Biles. Sha’Carri Richardson. Katie Ledecky. The 2024 Olympics will be full of stars you know — and some you might not. Here’s who to watch.

Colin Montgomerie is full of hot takes lately, and now, he has an interesting theory about why the United States will win next year’s Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup, for the non-golf fans out there, is a biennial tournament between teams from Europe and the United States. And even though the 2025 competition at Farmingdale, N.Y., is still more than a year away, Montgomerie is already making excuses.

Why? Because of all those darn drunks in America!
“God almighty!” Montgomerie told The Times.

Clemens vs. Piazza is best understood within a few contexts: First, the surprisingly recent history of the Yankees-Mets rivalry.

While some conferences around college athletics are comfortable with where they stand right now in terms of realignment, conversations surrounding the ACC still remain murky as Florida State and Clemson sue for a way out of the daunted Grant of Rights. 
The current landscape surrounding the ACC will be a hot-button topic this week at their annual media days in Charlotte. But it’s not the immediate future that some members are worried about, compared to what this conference looks like two or three years from now.
