Dec 20, 2024, 05:45 PM ETORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods turns 49 at the end of the month, and he has one pressing goal that relates to his golf. He wants to prolong the inevitable day when his son beats him over 18 holes.They will be playing with — not against — each other this week for the fifth straight year at the PNC Championship, a 36-hole tournament so meaningful to them and everyone else in the field that Woods was determined to play for the first time since a sixth back surgery in September.Word got out, however, that 15-year-old…
Norman Powell has been one of the top surprises early in the 2024-25 NBA season. The 10-year veteran and 31-year-old shooting guard has long been known as a solid role player and more recently, one of the top sixth men in the league. After winning a championship with the Toronto Raptors in 2019 as a key role player, Powell has since emerged as a scorer averaging nearly 20 points per game, finishing fourth in Sixth Man of the Year voting in each of the past couple of years. However, this season has been different — he’s emerged as the Clippers’…

Chad Haga took a gamble in 2024 on himself, switching completely from a 12-year road career to a new start on gravel. For the upcoming year, he’s upping the ante again, moving to a full privateer setup for his longer efforts on chunkier terrain.The Texas native found a home with PAS Normal Racing’s off-road team after he officially retired from the road, the final two seasons with the men’s Human Powered Health ProTeam. Success on gravel was immediate for Haga, scoring seven top five finishes, including second at Unbound Gravel 200 and third at The Traka 360.Following his surprising debut…
Fall Report Eric Sorenson – December 20, 2024 FULLERTON, Calif. — When I talked to Cal State Fullerton head coach Jason Dietrich a few weeks after his charges finished up their fall practices, he told me he wasn’t going to be easy on his team. He wasn’t going to be passive with them. In fact, Dietrich told me that the staff gave the players blank practice shirts from the get-go. No logo. No name. No nothing. If they were going to have the “Titans” etched across their chest they were going to have to earn it. That was the mindset…

By: Sean Crose I’ll be frank – this is one of the hardest calls I’ve had to make in my ten plus years of writing about boxing. The truth is that the first Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk battle was so close – so completely back and fourth – that it’s hard to decide which man is more likely to win tomorrow’s rematch in Saudi Arabia. While it’s true Usyk won the first battle between these two future Hall of Famers last May, and won it fairly in my opinion, there were moments in the fight where Fury was simply dominating his…

The Golden State Warriors trade to acquire Dennis Schroder could have been an even bigger deal. The Warriors and Brooklyn Nets discussed potential variations that would have seen Cam Johnson also head from Brooklyn to Golden State. The Warriors would likely have had to include Jonathan Kuminga in a deal that returned Johnson. Golden State chose to make a simpler trade that brought back Schroder for now, while continuing to give them time to evaluate Kuminga. The young forward has recently put together a string of good games for Golden State.
