A report from Golfweek silenced the rumors about Tony Finau’s pending move to LIV Golf.
After the Hero World Challenge replaced Tony Finau with Sepp Straka in its 20-man field at the last minute, many figured Finau would join LIV Golf in the ensuing days.
But that rumor has been put to bed. According to Adam Schupak of Golfweek, Finau withdrew from the Hero World Challenge because he had surgery on Oct. 15. The operation repaired a torn meniscus and cleaned up cartilage.

Despite all of his personal troubles, many believe what Maradona did both on and off a soccer pitch is what will always set him apart
Diego Maradona will forever be remembered as one of the greatest players to don a uniform for both club and country.
Before Lionel Messi — and to some even after Messi finally decides to call it quits — Maradona was the best player to ever represent Argentina, which he did proudly for close to 20 years, scoring 34 goals for his country in 91 appearances.

The defensive lineman has been a monster in the middle for the Seahawks.
Over the last two weeks, Seahawks’ DL Leonard Williams has played incredible football. He has 4.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, two pass deflections and a partridge in a pear tree, helping to keep Seattle’s playoff hopes alive.
