Scottie Scheffler is teeing it up this week at TPC Scottsdale as the back-to-back defending champion of the WM Phoenix Open. While some players struggle in the wild atmosphere in the desert, it’s safe to say Scheffler thrives in it, and it turns out he has a group of teenagers to thank for that.
Scheffler may be the No. 1 ranked player in the world and the owner of a green jacket from Augusta National, but the party mixed with heckling on the Par 3 16th at TPC Scottsdale is unlike anything else in the sport.

A Super Bowl rematch 4 years later that includes players from 2020’s Super Bowl
The 2019 NFL season saw the San Francisco 49ers represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIV while the Kansas City Chiefs did the same for the AFC. Four years and nine days later, the two teams will meet again in Super Bowl LVIII.
In 2020, the Chiefs knocked off the Niners with a huge 21-point fourth quarter with RB Damien Williams scoring the final two touchdowns that gave us the final score of 31-20.

New York Giants chicken parm-loving backup quarterback Tommy DeVito channeled his inner ‘Goodfellas’ last night during the NFL Honors and, just like his playing career, it didn’t end well.
At one point during the NFL Network / CBS award show, host Keegan-Michael Key was sitting next to the Giants quarterback who was all the buzz in New York last season until he wasn’t.

Katie Ledecky has dominated the women’s swimming world for 13 years, but one of her most impressive streaks came to an end on Thursday. Summer McIntosh defeated Ledecky in the 800-meter freestyle by six seconds at the Southern Zone South Sectional Championships in Orlando, the first time that Ledecky lost in this event since 2010.
Ledecky’s dominance in the event included three Olympics gold medals and eight more gold medals while competing in the World Championships and Pan Pacific Championships.

Sean McManus is the son of broadcasting legend Jim McKay … yet “at around age nine,” he decided that, while he wanted to work in the industry, he didn’t want to follow his father and appear on camera. McManus would start as a production assistant at ABC Sports, working for scorched-earth producers like Don Ohlmeyer (a heroic smoker and curser) and Chet Forte (a heroic gambler) … but McManus was known to raise neither his voice nor his glass.
Charting his course, McManus—quietly, measuredly, dignifiedly—became one of the titans of sports television.

From a narrative perspective, this is as interesting a Super Bowl as we’ve had in recent years.

Fresh off perhaps its most dramatic finish in its existence, a sudden-death, in-the-dark Sunday at Mayakoba that produced a spike in viewership, LIV Golf swings through Las Vegas for its second event in as many weeks. It’s once again offering a $25 million purse, with $4 million to the individual winner, plus $5 million in prizes for the team competition.
LIV will wrap on Saturday, as the Super Bowl is in town and set for Sunday. (Jon Rahm, the tournament betting favorite, has some thoughts on the game.)
