Tiger Woods was back playing golf again.
Paired with PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh at Monday’s Seminole Golf Club Pro-Member event, Woods and Waugh carded a 2-under 70 in the gross competition.
That put them in a tie for 44th in the 78-team field, per 5 Clubs Golf on X.

Moves across college football rivalries are rare, but they do happen. Hall of Fame Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, for instance, spent five years as an Ohio State assistant. Stanford coach Troy Taylor played for California from 1986-89.
Now, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has added to that list by hiring former Mississippi State coach Zach Arnett as an analyst, according to a report published Wednesday morning by On3’s Zach Berry.
Arnett, 37, went 5-6 in parts of two years with the Bulldogs.

The rapid approach of March Madness and the NBA playoffs approach also means the NBA draft is around the corner. This means increased buzz surrounding top prospects, and this year no single name has been more frequently discussed than USC guard Bronny James.
It remains up in the air whether Bronny, son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, will enter the 2024 NBA draft. But in a recent story detailing the freshman guard’s approach to the game and ability to block out the noise, those around him offered high praise to the 19-year-old, both on and off the court.

When golf fans tune into the second season of Netflix’s Full Swing starting Wednesday (warning: there are spoilers ahead in this article), they’ll find quite a few familiar faces while working through the eight episodes. Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Matt Fitzpatrick, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Joel Dahmen all returned for another year of filming after Full Swing’s booming success in 2023.
But with a fresh year’s worth of behind-the-scenes content comes new revelations.

In the wake of LIV Golf rescinding its Official World Golf Ranking application, PGA Tour pros weighed in on the current state of the OWGR.
LIV Golf pulled the plug on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) early Tuesday, which led multiple PGA Tour players to discuss this issue at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Opinions somewhat varied, but a common feeling permeated across Bay Hill. Players lack confidence in the current structure of the OWGR.

 NFL under the radar free agents who will provide big value
The NFL free agency negotiation period opens up Mar. 11, and you can bet that most of the top free agents will be scooped up early in the negotiating window. However, NFL teams are built not just on the star players, but the overall depth of the team. We discuss unsung heroes of teams that win the Super Bowl every time the trophy gets raised, and this is where these role players get picked up and signed.

Jason Kelce’s 13-year NFL career came to an emotional end on Monday when he announced his retirement during a very teary press conference. 
There were some light moments during his speech, including the NSFW message he shared about former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who had a huge game in the team’s Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots back in the 2017 season. 
On Wednesday’s latest episode of Kelce’s New Heights podcast, he told his younger brother, Travis Kelce, that he got the O.K.

No. 7 North Carolina cruised to an 84–51 victory against visiting Notre Dame on Tuesday night, marking the final game in Chapel Hill for Tar Heels legend Armando Bacot.
Bacot finished with 14 points, five rebounds and one block in the blowout win, putting his imprint on his final home game in powder blue. 
“I may not have been the best player that ever played here,” Bacot told reporters afterward. “I may not have scored the most points. I did grab the most rebounds. I may not have blocked the most shots.

Nick Saban retiring from his post as the head coach at Alabama this offseason is the shakeup of all shakeups, but the trickle-down effect of what may have been if the Crimson Tide didn’t hire Kalen DeBoer as his replacement could have shaken the college football world to its core.
Based on every rumor and report, there were two coaches at the top of Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne’s coaching candidate list, DeBoer at Washington and Mike Norvell at Florida State.
