Phil Mickelson took to Twitter a few days after the PGA Championship to discuss why the LIV Tour schedule works for majors.
Phil Mickelson is back on Twitter, giving the public hot takes as he continues to advocate for the LIV Golf Tour. After the warm welcome from Rochester during the PGA Championship, he wasted no time trying to prove a point.
Lefty was and is still a favorite for PGA Tour and LIV Golf fans worldwide. His infectious thumbs up and smile are two of the most recognizable things on a golf course.

Brooks Koepka’s dominant win at the PGA Championship didn’t do anything to help TV ratings for the event. Neither did Michael Block’s incredible story that included a hole-in-one. Without Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in contention, golf ratings continue to lag behind.
Koepka entered Sunday with a one-shot lead over Viktor Hovland. But after a few early birdies, Koepka distanced himself from the pack. Although he suffered some hiccups along the way, Koepka never trailed on Sunday.

LOS ANGELES – Dennis Schroder can’t see it.
“[He’s] still got the juice,” said Schroder.

“Coming off a loss like that,” said Ham, “I think I was ready to retire.”
Sorry, Denver, but the biggest story to come out of the Nuggets’ series-clinching Game 4 win was the revelation that LeBron James, (arguably) the greatest player in NBA history, was thinking about hanging ‘em up.

Following the Lakers’ elimination from the playoffs Monday night, the team is facing a pivotal offseason, much of which will revolve around LeBron James and what he decides about his own playing future.
Despite various uncertainties, general manager Rob Pelinka discussed the team’s plan for the offseason Tuesday, telling reporters that he wants to retain most of Los Angeles’s key players.
Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma, who played four seasons for the Lakers, caught wind of Pelinka’s comments, and he clapped back with a perfect response.

Jimmy Butler and Miami seemed to take the heart out of Boston in winning the first three games of the East finals.

The NHL is reportedly gearing up to host a pair of Stadium Series games next season at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.
NHL reporter David Pagnotta tweeted that he had been informed the league plans on hosting a pair of games on the same sheet of ice. One would pit the New Jersey Devils against the Philadelphia Flyers, while the other would be between the New York Rangers and New York Islanders.

Brains, beauty, brave. Charly Arnolt is a name you’ll want to be familiar with if you love sports and free speech.

As a former ESPN employee, Arnolt was witness to the side of sports media that champions identity politics over sports.

While Eli and Peyton Manning are no longer carving up opposing secondaries on in the NFL, the two retired Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks remained in the league’s orbit, particularly on Mondays.
When the two joined together to produce their weekly telecast during Monday Night Football, the ManningCast, it gave football lovers another option to appreciate the sport while also getting some additional laughter and personality between the brothers and their guests.

Butler is the epicenter of a shock Heat run — and his influence extends *far* beyond the court. “Whatever he needs to keep doing what he’s doing,” Max Strus says, “we’re all here for it.
