Shane Bieber Fans Five in Rehab Start

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) was sharp in his rehab start against the Dodgers in the Arizona Complex League.

Harris English Takes Stellar 2025 Performance to The Open Championship

Harris English ranks eighth in FedEx points. The American golfer even has cracked the Top 20 in the world rankings (19th). However, despite nine appearances overseas, English has not had quite the same success at The Open Championship. His best result was a T-15 at Muirfield way back in 2013. Since then, there have been […]

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 […]

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.

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 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.

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.

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 […]

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.
