ATLANTA — For more than 20 years, one rule has governed international soccer: the more Messi, the better. Whether you’re fighting for eyeballs, relevance or legitimacy, having Leo Messi’s godlike stature — and 500 million Instagram followers — in your corner solves a whole lot of problems. So it wasn’t a real surprise to anyone paying attention that FIFA turned to Messi as a way of kickstarting interest in the 2025 Club World Cup.

ATLANTA — At some point over the next few weeks, the Club World Cup will ratchet up its intensity, both on the pitch and in the stands. Monday’s first match, a 2-0 Chelsea victory over LAFC that had the feel of a friendly, did not rise to that level on either account. Sure, both clubs’ performances were solid enough; LAFC didn’t embarrass itself or MLS, and Chelsea did what it needed to do to take care of business in its debut Group D match.

OAKMONT, Pa.—With one beautiful, curling, glorious putt, J.J. Spaun won the U.S. Open. He redeemed what had been an ugly mudfight of a tournament. He gave the battered sport of golf an unequivocal story of inspiration that it desperately needed. And he created an indelible, transcendent memory that will live on in replays as long as they play this game. It was a hell of a putt, is what we’re saying.

OAKMONT, Pa. — Some major championships are exquisite exhibitions of athletic grace and mental tenacity, symphonies conducted on fairways. You watch them, and you feel thrilled, energized, even inspired by the generational talent on display. The 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont was none of that. J.J. Spaun won the tournament with a score of even par, but the better way to put it might be he survived the tournament.

OAKMONT, Pa.—Rain and lightning have halted the U.S. Open on its final day. Sam Burns (-2) and Adam Scott (-1) are atop a leaderboard that's suffering through a wickedly difficult Oakmont course, and the wind and rain rolling in over the course of the afternoon made play even trickier.

The Messi Effect: there are a lot more people here for today’s Inter Miami-FC Porto match than Monday’s. Note I did not say a lot, I said a lot MORE. https://t.co/G23awNE8BM
Returned home to one hell of a Father’s Day gift. Playing Sawgrass as Craig Stadler was every teenage boy’s dream. https://t.co/7yl6PEnY76
I love the majors because everybody — players and media — raises their game. And also because I get to see in person once again a lot of the people I spend the whole year reading.
Thank you everyone for reading this week. Shoutout to my fellow crooked media brethren, who make these weeks some of the best times of the year, and for celebrating our Second Annual Media Of Golf Society Awards (The MOGGIES). https://t.co/sAiFeQhkGn
