Cameron Young Likely to Hang Around at The Open Championship

Cameron Young has a way of appearing in contention in majors. The American golfer came out of almost nowhere to win the Claret Jug at St. Andrews in 2022. Young finished one stroke off the lead then to Cameron Smith. Young had poor form early in 2025 but then rattled off a T-4 at the […]

Cameron Smith Just Trying to Make the Cut at Royal Portrush

Cameron Smith has played in three majors in 2025. The Australian golfer has missed the cut in each one. However, hope springs eternal for Smith.

Is Jordan Spieth Still a Natural for Links Style Golf?

Making his first start since the U.S. Open, Jordan Spieth is returning to Royal Portrush having finished T20 in 2019. Given his late arrival this season after dealing with recovering from wrist surgery, he's put together a decent year with two top 5s, two top 10s, and four top 25s. His record in Open Championships […]

VJ Edgecombe Busy in Las Vegas Summer League Debut

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard VJ Edgecombe made his Las Vegas Summer League debut in Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards, filling the box score in a blowout win.

Patrick Reed a Viable Option at The Open Championship

Patrick Reed only plays the majors on the PGA Tour these days. However, the American golfer does not have nine career wins (including the 2018 Masters) by accident. Reed did finish T-3 at this year's opening major. He even rebounded from a poor start at the U.S. Open with a 71-70 to end up inside […]

Sungjae Im Wants to Rebound from Last Experience at Royal Portrush

Sungjae Im could be a true wildcard heading into The Open Championship. The golfer from South Korea has experienced a lot in his four appearances in the United Kingdom.

Xander Schauffele Looks to Defend His Claret Jug at Royal Portrush

Coming off a T8 finish last week at the Scottish Open, Xander Schauffele makes the trip to Northern Ireland this week to hopefully become the first person since Padraig Harrington in 2008 to defend in golf's oldest championship. His play at The Renaissance Club started and ended with the irons, averaging +2.38 strokes gained on […]

Tony Finau Trying to Turn Tide at Royal Portrush

Tony Finau knows that the trends are not with him. The American golfer took some time off after a final round 76 at The Travelers Championship late in June. Finau finished T-66 in that event and only has one Top 10 result in 2025. He has not played that badly but consistency has been a […]

Oshae Brissett Links Up with Maccabi Tel Aviv

Forward Oshae Brissett has signed a two-year deal with six-time EuroLeague champions Maccabi Tel Aviv. Brissett takes his talents across the pond after featuring in merely six NBA games last season.

Daniel Brown Seeks a Rebound at The Open Championship

Daniel Brown was hopeful after a second round 66 at the Genesis Scottish Open. The English golfer made the cut and appeared poised to have a solid weekend. Unfortunately, that was not meant to be after a 73 and 72. The 281 on the Par-70 course had to be frustrating for the 30-year-old. Brown did […]

Rory McIlroy Will be the Most Watched Player This Week at Royal Portrush

Nearing the end of a historic season for Rory McIlroy, perhaps the event that's garnered the most attention from the 36-year-old kicks off on Thursday. It will be the fellow Northern Irishman's second crack at this course, having missed the cut in 2019. His length off the tee certainly gives him more scoring chances, so […]

Josh Okogie Waived by Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have waived guard/forward Josh Okogie. Okogie had a $7.7 million contract for next season, which would have become guaranteed if he had remained with the Hornets past Tuesday.
