Rory McIlroy addressed Jimmy Dunne’s resignation from the PGA Tour Policy Board ahead of the PGA Championship.
Jimmy Dunne, one of the masterminds behind the PGA Tour’s framework agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), resigned earlier this week.
As a result, Rory McIlroy believes that the future of professional golf will suffer.

Rory McIlroy’s news conference Wednesday at Valhalla ahead of the PGA Championship began with the moderator stating that the four-time major winner would not be making any comments about the recent news of his divorce from wife Erica Stoll.
From there, McIlroy was asked just seven total questions in what turned into what may have been the shortest formal presser of his career. Short pressers at major championships are suddenly becoming a trend for McIlroy given that he was asked just eight questions during his official press conference ahead of the Masters in April.

Both F1 and the sport’s governing body are working together on a new vision, but what could that entail?
Formula 1 is having a moment.
In recent years the sport has seen tremendous growth, particularly in the United States.

Deshaun Watson and good decision-making don’t tend to go hand-in-hand, but his decision to get a giant back tattoo with his girlfriend Jilly Anais’ face in it seems like a bad move even by his lofty standards.
The Cleveland Browns signal-caller recently unveiled a new bit of body art on social media.
TMZ reported that it took nine hours to complete and Watson gave the artist a jersey to sweeten the deal.
I’ll be honest, I have no idea whether that is considered a “good” tattoo.

Oh my.
Pacers vs. Knicks has been a tight series with the Knicks making a statement in Game 5 on Tuesday night with a 121-91 win. Now there’s some budding beef, with Donte DiVincenzo taking shots at Tyrese Haliburton — comparing him to Ben Simmons.

Haliburton has been very uneven this playoffs battling through a laundry list of injuries. The 2023-24 All Star played his best basketball this season — but it’s clear that he’s just not able to compete at his full potential right now.

Over the weekend, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker – a devout Catholic – delivered the commencement address to the graduating class at Benedictine College. Benedictine College is a Catholic college in Kansas. 
Butker gave his speech on May 11, the day before Mother’s Day. He took time during his speech to give credit to those women who choose to be wives and mothers and forgo a career.

It had nothing to do with him having paintings of himself as a centaur or kissing his own reflection… at first.
What’s that expression, “Hell hath no fury like a lover scorned”? Oh, I just looked it up. It’s, “like a woman scorned.” Okay, well, that’s needlessly gendered and now I’m offended.
What I’m trying to say is that Seattle used to really love Alex Rodriguez, and that’s why everything got so beefy when things, and people, went south.
When the Mariners drafted Alex Rodriguez, hopes were as high as they could possibly be.

Nikola Jokic celebrated his third MVP award by scoring 40 points and outdueling Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert in the Nuggets’ Game 5 win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

No matchups for the two Christmas Day games that will air on Netflix were revealed, but the four teams involved will play rare Wednesday regular-season contests.

World-number-one Nelly Korda will play at Liberty National for the first time this week, as she looks to return to the winner’s circle.
Nelly Korda’s winning streak came to a screeching halt at last week’s Cognizant Founders Cup, where Rose Zhang prevailed by two over Madelene Sagstrom.
Korda still played relatively well, finishing in a tie for seventh, but she fell short of her high expectations.
