    The PGA Championship will bring together the world's best golfers again in a familiar setting. The sport's second major of 2025 returns this week to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, a course that's a regular host on the PGA Tour and served as the site of the 2017 PGA Championship won by Justin Thomas. The field is packed with the top golfers from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf vying for the Wannamaker Trophy, right as merger talks surface once more during President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia.

    PJ Haggerty came to the NBA Draft Combine with a singular focus. The 6-3 guard, who earned consensus All-American honors as Memphis basketball's leading scorer in 2024-25, is hoping to make a name for himself. So far, it's working out for him. During individual drills on May 13, Haggerty was one of the top five shooters at the combine, hitting 73% of all shots. Only Mark Sears and Chaz Lanier were better.

    CHICAGO — The NBA Draft lottery went faster than Cooper Flagg expected. He didn’t realize his future would be decided so quickly as part of the league’s made-for-TV event to determine the draft order.

    It’s PGA Championship week and professional golf’s second major of 2025 will once again feature a loaded field in pursuit of the Wannamaker Trophy. First-round action begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, which also played host to the 2017 PGA Championship won by Justin Thomas. He was there earlier this week with most of the living PGA Championship winners from the past when defending champion Xander Schauffele hosted the event’s annual champions’ dinner.

Shoutout ESPN for showing both ‘O, Canada” and the “Star-Spangled Banner” before Caps-Canadians. We need to normalize broadcasting the anthems before every sporting event. It’s almost always better than the pregame analysis that would otherwise happen.

Really impressed by Ja Morant last night. Gutting it out was the leadership and toughness this team has so badly needed. No matter what happens vs. OKC, hopeful this is a turning point after 2 years filled with immaturity and injuries.

Ja Morant wanted to be on the floor to help the Memphis Grizzlies get into the NBA playoffs. That meant an extensive plan to treat his sprained ankle. https://t.co/orD9T5U98a
