Scheffler offered advice on playing the illustrious Augusta National as the World No. 1 eyes another Green Jacket.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is making his fifth Masters Tournament start this week. He won a Green Jacket in 2022 and is the odds-on favorite for this year’s tournament.
It’s the first major championship of the year, and Scheffler already has two victories in 2024. He took home back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship.

It’s no secret that Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith wouldn’t mind adding an NHL team to his sports ownership portfolio.
This week, he has gone a step further asking fans what they think a Salt Lake City-based NHL team should be called.
Of course, the league plopping a team in Utah isn’t set in stone, but the city is a major player for a possible expansion franchise or the relocation of an existing team (let’s be honest: probably the Coyotes if they keep running into arena drama).
The market is on the NHL’s radar, and so Smith shared a survey soliciting team names.

Nikola Jokic is -4000 to win the NBA MVP award. The race is effectively over. A win for Jokic would mark the third time he’s won league MVP. Only eight other players have won the award at least three times. Jokic would be the ninth. 
But he should be the first, as in the first player to win four straight MVPs.
Jokic won the award in 2021 and 2022. Last March, he was the prohibitive favorite to win a third straight. The race was all but over. And then it was over for Jokic.

With the Major League Baseball season currently underway, one of the hottest topics has been what’s been happening on the pitching mound – but for all the wrong reasons.
Within the last 13 months, at least 38 MLB pitchers have undergone some sort of elbow surgery. The term “Tommy John surgery,” which used to be dreaded in the sport, has become something of a commonplace these days – for better or worse.

Augusta National Golf Club released the pairings for the opening two rounds of this year’s Masters, and they certainly will not disappoint.
As in any tournament he plays in, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods at Augusta National this week.
The five-time Masters champion feels confident that he can add one more Green Jacket to his closet, despite not playing all 72 holes in an official PGA Tour event since the 2022 Masters.

Koepka has left no doubt about his mindset: His goal is to catch and pass the game’s best ever.

There were several misspellings and formatting errors that were found on the new Kobe Bryant statue in downtown Los Angeles.

He’s been so close to a green jacket before, but now — with the support of Tiger Woods — Rory McIlroy is looking to claim The Masters at last.

In the lead-up to this year’s Masters, Rory McIlroy has made it clear that his tournament preparations largely revolve around avoiding Augusta National as much as possible. Two days from the opening round of the year’s first major, and so far so good.
McIlroy will be making his 16th career appearance at the Masters this week in what will be his 10th attempt at winning a green jacket to complete the career grand slam. In other words, McIlroy has been there, done that, and may understandably be a bit tired of hearing about his quest for the slam.
