Tiger Woods and Fans Stunned as Justin Rose Makes History at TGL Match

The TGL golf just witnessed a moment of pure digital magic that nobody will ever forget. Justin Rose aced a 253-yard fairway shot for the first albatross in TGL history, a rare three-under-par feat on a par-5 hole during Season 2 against the Tiger Woods Jupiter Links GC team.

The official TGL social media account quickly posted the video celebrating his massive and rare achievement with a caption: “First albatross in TGL history.” Tiger Woods and the fans from the side was toal awestruck. And the fans online also reacted with total joy as the video clip quickly climbed past 8,700 views in minutes.

Justin Rose has accomplished plenty throughout his golf career, but the 45-year-old experienced a career first in Tuesday’s TGL match that he isn’t going to let anybody belittle.

The Englishman competed Tuesday alongside Los Angeles Golf Club teammates Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala against Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club, though TGL co-founder Woods was relegated to an eager cheerleader for his team’s match as he continues recovery from back surgery.

With LAGC already ahead entering the 10th hole, 4-1, Rose opened the singles session on the Par 5 Sterling, a long hole with a narrow bunker running through the middle of the entire length of the fairway.

After a perfect tee shot found the right side of the fairway, Rose followed it up with another perfect strike, finding the green and rolling it into the hole, making personal and TGL history in the process.

It was the first albatross in TGL history and, perhaps surprisingly, the first albatross ever for Rose, an experienced veteran of the PGA and DP World Tours.

Rose reacted by pumping his fists and embracing Theegala and Morikawa as he put LA ahead, 5-1, helping set up an eventual 8-4 victory.

“I didn’t know it was going in, but as a player I knew that I executed,” Rose said of his monumental shot. “As soon as I saw it kind of take off and stay straight, I was like, ‘that’s going to be good.’

“So that’s kind of why I was like, ‘well, I can’t do anything about it now, I may as well start walking.’ I was kind of walking to get my putter, obviously ended up not needing my putter, which was exciting.

“But that’s the surprise, right? You can hit a great shot, but the outcome is always slightly out of your control. But I was dead set, loved the way it felt off the club, and then you get that moment where you’re like, ‘oh my god, that’s going in.’ That’s kind of that surprise moment, which is amazing.

“So yeah, it was a fun moment to celebrate with the boys, and it was a cool moment, for sure.”

The victory, which was sealed by a Morikawa putt on the 14th hole, brought LAGC to 1-1 this season after losing to Boston Common GC in its opener earlier this month, putting the team in a playoff position for the time being still relatively early in the TGL campaign.

“We were all just good tonight,” Rose said. “We were all solid. There was no drama, really. We were just always in control, but when you let a team back in in match play, if you give them a little bit of momentum, things can shift.

“So I felt like Collin stepping up in that critical moment and making the putt was huge. Yeah, 0-2 at this point — I’m not saying The Bay and Jupiter are the teams that you look at and think that you should beat, but there’s some strong matches ahead for us as well, as there will be all the way to the end.”

Claressa Shields Gets Caught in Embarrassing Situation in Front of Millions

Claressa Shields is usually the one embarrassing her opponents inside the ring. This time, however, the ‘T-Rex found herself on the receiving end as a result of an awkward moment—played out on social media for all. The incident unfolded during a YouTube livestream on the Hood Champion Boxing and Sports channel.

During the show, the host was discussing Shields’ finances, tax situation, and her career when an unidentified caller phoned in, upset over what she claimed was a false portrayal of Shields’ financial situation. The fan criticized the show for repeating unverified rumors and questioned why such claims were being circulated without proper fact-checking.

Claressa Shields is tired of all the lies about her

“I’m sitting up here listening to this live, and I see so much misinformation,” the caller said. She took issue with comments about Shields’ finances, asking, “Why are y’all lying, saying that this woman owes tax money—why are y’all lying, saying that her image is ruined?” While highlighting Shields’ career, the caller argued that people were choosing commentary over facts.

“Nobody’s doing any fact checks,” she added, noting that Shields has been in the public eye since she was a child. As the call went on, the caller gradually abandoned her third-person framing, prompting listeners to question whether it was Shields herself who had called in to defend her reputation. When asked about documents allegedly showing Shields owed back taxes, the caller dismissed the claim outright, speaking with a level of certainty that raised further suspicion.

“Very, very false. I know Claressa myself, so therefore no, it’s not true,” she said during the livestream. Moments later, the facade appeared to slip entirely when the caller stated, “You are saying that my tickets aren’t selling… and then you are saying that taxes. And then all this stuff about my image. Literally, in the gym training, running, getting ready for the fight, taking care of the family, and you keep on coming on with more and more lies, and you let them come on your channel and tell more lies.”

The clip of the call quickly went viral across social media, with many fans convinced the caller was Claressa Shields herself. An X account, TeaWithTia, even claimed, “Chile #ClaressaShields was caught calling into a radio show pretending to be a ‘fan’ that was defending her name. Papoose must have been upstairs, and she was downstairs when she called.”

This, however, isn’t the only controversy Claressa Shields has found herself in the middle of.

Shields lashed out at Tasha K over a comment about Papoose

Blogger Tasha K had questioned Papoose’s intentions and finances, suggesting Shields was funding the relationship. In a fiery video response, the undisputed boxing champion slammed Tasha for what she described as a long-standing pattern of tearing down Black women.

“Tasha K and Lesha Dean… y’all are cancers to the Black African-American culture,” Shields said. “All y’all do y’all whole career try to break down Black women and tell lies about them.” Shields fired back, reminding critics of her success and independence.

“I’m self-made, self-built. I got $8 million. Are you dumb?” she added.

It appears Claressa Shields is being attacked from several directions, which has forced her to come up with unique ways to defend herself. But what did you make of her move to call in pretending to be a fan?

Questions about Deontay Wilder’s future have resurfaced following comments from former world champion Carl Froch, who suggested the heavyweight’s career has entered a markedly different phase.

Once defined by knockout power and intimidation, Wilder is now at the center of a more reflective discussion about longevity, direction, and the realities that come with time at the elite level.

The discussion has shifted away from potential matchups and toward a broader reassessment of where Wilder now stands in his career.

Froch questions what comes next
Speaking about Wilder’s recent run, Froch raised doubts about whether the former WBC heavyweight champion still has a clear route back toward the top of the division.

“What’s next for him?” Froch asked. “Has he got a career left? I just think that he’s lost four of his last six fights.”

Rather than focusing on any single defeat, Froch framed his view around what he sees as a growing gap between Wilder’s reputation and his recent performances.

“It’s all smoke and mirrors now,” Froch continued. “Everyone thinks he’s back with that big punch, and they want to see him get in there.”

A career shaped by power and consequence
Wilder’s rise through the heavyweight ranks was built almost entirely on knockout ability, a trait that carried him to a world title and sustained his presence at the elite level for years. Froch suggested that the physical toll of repeated high-stakes fights has altered that balance.

“I know it’s sad to say that, but at forty years old, the three fights with Fury done him,” Froch said, referencing the cumulative impact of Wilder’s trilogy with Tyson Fury.

While such assessments remain a matter of opinion, they reflect a broader reality faced by fighters whose success was built on singular strengths over extended periods.

Reflection replacing anticipation
For much of his career, Wilder’s place in the heavyweight picture was fueled by anticipation — the belief that one punch could always reset the narrative. Froch’s comments, instead, point toward a stage in which past accomplishments are increasingly weighed against present limitations.

“I know everyone has their own reasons and everyone is entitled to do what they want,” Froch added. “But it’s sad to see, really.”

Whether Wilder chooses to continue or step away remains his decision alone. What has changed is the tone of the conversation surrounding him, which has shifted from expectation toward reflection as his career is increasingly viewed through a longer-term lens.

Authorities remain unable to locate Gervonta Davis, as the 31-year-old has been missing since an arrest warrant was formally issued on January 14.

This was in response to charges over battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping from an incident involving his former partner, Courtney Rossel.

Surveillance footage reportedly corroborates allegations that Davis physically restrained Rossel at her workplace and attempted to force her into a parking garage. The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is currently assisting the Miami Gardens Police Department in the search.Authorities Unable To Locate Gervonta Davis

“At this time, the Miami Gardens Police Department is actively working with the United States Marshal’s fugitive task force to locate and apprehend Mr. Davis. Domestic violence is a serious crime, and the Miami Gardens Police Department remains committed to holding offenders accountable and protecting victims. The investigation determined that Mr. Davis used force to restrain in an attempt to remove the victim from the location against her will,” Emmanuel Jeanty (MGPD executive officer) said

The WBA took decisive action by officially downgrading Davis’ status from full lightweight champion to “champion in recess.” This move effectively strips Davis of his title while his legal situation remains unresolved. The WBA is now expected to authorize a fight for the vacant belt, with Floyd Schofield Jr. and Lucas Bahdi currently positioned as the primary candidates to fight for the belt.

Authorities React

Davis’s history of legal trouble does not help him. Having served time in a Baltimore jail in 2023 for violating his home detention following a hit-and-run, Davis now faces the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence. Attorneys representing the alleged victim noted that process servers have made multiple failed attempts to reach him at his residence.

“We have been attempting to obtain service of process [on Davis] and we are certain we will obtain service of process when Mr. Davis has been arrested. We sent our process server to his house six times without success. We have filed a motion to allow an alternative service – when someone’s evading service – by publication. That’s set for hearing,” Richard Wolfe (attorney for Rossel) said

Greg Norman attacks Tiger Woods for not daring to face him directly

At 70 years old, Greg Norman still refuses to fade quietly into golf’s background. The two time major champion, once the polarizing face of LIV Golf, has shifted his attention in recent months from boardroom battles to hunting shipwrecks near Cuba.

But despite a new lifestyle away from daily golf politics, Norman hasn’t stopped stirring debate, especially when it comes to Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

In a recent interview with The Times, Norman openly questioned why two of golf’s most influential figures never confronted him directly about his role in upending the sport’s status quo. Instead of quiet criticism or behind-the-scenes grumbling, Norman insists Woods and McIlroy should have addressed their disagreements with him openly.

“They couldn’t say to me, ‘Greg, you’ve hurt the PGA Tour,'” he said, challenging the legends to sit down and squarely discuss their views.

Norman argues that many of the financial gains now enjoyed by PGA Tour stars trace back to the seismic shifts sparked by LIV Golf’s emergence. He pointed to the PGA Tour’s Player Impact Program, which rewards players for their commercial and brand value, saying that arrangements like these might not exist without the competitive pressure from the rival circuit.

He also emphasized that his stance hasn’t changed: he still believes his actions validated players’ ability to negotiate better deals and increased the overall transparency of the sport.

For Norman, this is about more than ego; it reflects his belief that transparency fosters accountability. He has grown frustrated, he says, by what he views as whispered criticism rather than candid dialogue.

Norman won’t apologize for shaking up golf

Despite stepping away from leadership of LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed league he once helmed, he remains unapologetic about shaking up golf’s established power structure.

Critics, however, see his comments as the lingering echo of resentment dating back decades, viewing LIV Golf as the culmination of a personal feud with the PGA Tour.

Norman’s tenure with LIV was divisive. Woods and McIlroy each had publicly critical things to say about his influence during the sport’s “civil war,” and both called for his departure from leadership roles to help mend fractured relationships within golf.

Adding to the irony, the league Norman helped create now faces uncertainty under new leadership. Scott O’Neil has taken over daytoday responsibilities, and LIV is navigating defections, financial pressures, and a struggle to attract top players. Notably, Brooks Koepka’s decision to leave LIV and return to the PGA Tour only reinforces the challenges the league faces.

Yet Norman remains defiant. He continues to believe the disruption he set in motion delivered long-term benefits for players and continues to challenge the sport to face uncomfortable truths, not sidestep them.

For him, the silence of Woods and McIlroy is less about disagreement and more about missed opportunity for an honest conversation. And in true Norman fashion, he isn’t letting that go unnoticed.

‘Without Her…’: Tiger Woods Pays Tribute to Late Mother Kultida in Touching Speech

The “RED: Celebrating Legacy” gala honored Tiger Woods’ 50th birthday and the TGR Foundation’s 30th anniversary. But Woods redirected the spotlight toward someone absent from the room.

Speaking at The Breakers in Palm Beach on January 14, 2026, Woods paid tribute to his late mother, Kultida “Tida” Woods, who passed away in February 2025. This marked his first milestone birthday without her.

“Without her, I would not have entered Stanford,” Woods said.

Golf history has long credited Earl Woods for shaping Tiger’s greatness. Yet those closest to the family know a different truth. Earl built the swing. Tida built the priorities. Her “education first” mandate, homework before practice, always, became the blueprint for what the TGR Foundation would eventually become.

Woods reinforced this hierarchy during the gala. “I care about the emotional side of things because in our household, it was family first, then education, and then whatever sport I wanna play,” he said. “And mom was tough, so I have to take mom on that one.”

The foundation has impacted over 3 million youth worldwide through its STEAM-focused Learning Labs. Kultida’s philosophy lives on in every classroom TGR builds.

Woods recalled in an interview with USA Today that his mother was “the enforcer” and he was “deathly afraid of her.” While Earl planted seeds of encouragement, Kultida demanded discipline. Homework before practice. Grades before glory. No exceptions.

That framework now pulses through every TGR Learning Lab classroom.

Tiger Woods and the TGR Foundation’s 30-year harvest

The TGR Foundation launched in 1996. It was the same year Woods turned professional. Earl and Tiger co-founded it with a vision rooted in golf-based youth development. The Woods family attended the 30th anniversary celebrations along with one of the most popular Golf Channel personalities, Blair O’Neal. Three decades later, the mission has evolved into something far broader.

The foundation has impacted over 3 million young people worldwide. That demand for discipline is now the engine behind a foundation that has reached three million young people, with programs like the Earl Woods Scholar Program boasting a near-perfect 98% graduation rate.

New Learning Labs are slated for Augusta and Philadelphia. Digital programs aim to extend the reach into millions more households. The gala’s $50 million fundraising target will fuel this expansion.

Woods has spoken before about his mother’s sacrifices. At his 2022 World Golf Hall of Fame induction, he wept openly while crediting her. Four years later, the tears have dried. What remains is purpose—measured, deliberate, institutional.

The TGR Foundation is not merely Tiger’s legacy. It is Kultida’s philosophy made permanent.

At The Breakers, surrounded by 300 guests and three decades of philanthropic milestones, Woods made clear what the night was really about. Not trophies. Not birthdays. Not even the guest of honor.

It was about the woman who insisted he finish his homework first.

Oleksandr Usyk is remains set on a fight against former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

The Ukrainian superstar was last in action back in July when he stopped Daniel Dubois in the 5th round of their Wembley Stadium rematch, becoming the first fighter of the ‘four belt era’ to win the undisputed heavyweight championship twice.

Despite speculation that the 38-year-old could draw the curtain on his glittering professional career, but the man himself has said he will be fighting two or three times more and set his sights on Wilder.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ bounced back from consecutive defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang last June, stopping countryman Tyrrell Herndon in the 7th round of their non-title clash at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita. Despite the win, it was an underwhelming showing, leading most to question why he deserves a shot against the unified champion.

In a recent interview with Ready To Fight, Usyk revealed exactly why he wants the fight next as he looks to extend his unbeaten record to 25-0.

“First of all, it’s the USA — I want to box in America. Secondly, Wilder has been at the top for the last 10 years. This is about sporting interest. In the “big three,” there were Joshua, Fury, and Wilder. I beat Joshua twice, I beat Fury twice, and one unbeaten one remains — Wilder.”

Since making the step up from cruiserweight back in 2019, Usyk has produced legacy-defining victories over the likes of Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury, establishing himself as arguably the greatest heavyweight of his generation. From that perspective, it makes sense that he would like to add Wilder to the list, as he is part of the ‘big three’ heavyweights of this generation alongside Fury and ‘AJ.’

‘He is truly grateful’ – Eddie Hearn shares Anthony Joshua update after ‘inspiring’ catch-up

Anthony Joshua will ‘take his time to get back on track’ as he comes to terms with two unimaginable losses.

That’s according to Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, who caught up with the two-time heavyweight champion following a tragic motor accident last month.

Hearn has been spotted working out with ‘AJ’ just days after the British boxing star returned to the gym for the first time since the fatal crash.

Joshua was hospitalised in December after the SUV he was travelling in collided with a stationary truck just outside of Lagos, Nigeria, having been on holiday to celebrate his triumph over Jake Paul only 10 days earlier.

The accident tragically claimed the lives of two of his teammates, Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, with the funeral of both men taking place earlier this month.

Joshua paid an emotional tribute to his best friends, saying he never realised ‘how special’ they were, and it’s no surprise that talks of a return to the ring are being kept on hold for now.

Anthony Joshua will ‘take his time’ says Eddie Hearn

“Great to catch up with Anthony Joshua today,” Matchroom kingpin Hearn wrote via social media on Sunday.

“His resilience and strength is inspiring. The loss is heavy and he will take his time to get back on track.

“But said he is truly grateful for all the support and the love shown for Latz and Sina.”

Hearn also shared a video alongside Joshua on a stationary bike, highlighting that time appears to be the only method of healing for his fighter at this point.

He has refrained from commenting on Joshua’s future amid links to a super fight with Tyson Fury in 2026.

“To be honest, at this stage, it is a no comment from us,” Hearn told talkSPORT this week.

“Just out of respect to Anthony. With everything he has been through and the tragic loss of Sina and Latz.

“At the moment, Anthony needs time and privacy. There will be no conversations from us about his career.

“Nothing about any move or what’s next. This is a terrible tragedy and he’s going to need his own time physically and emotionally.

“There is nothing to discuss and prayers for him and the families of all those involved in this terrible incident.”

Fury confirmed his decision to reverse his retirement on January 4.

‘The Gypsy King’ has since shared footage back in the gym, with his manager, Spencer Brown, suggesting he could fight three times this year.

Where Is Gervonta Davis As Miami P.D And U.S. Marshals Continue Searching

He’s one of the most well-known fighters in the world, a world champion in three weight divisions with an undefeated record. Yet Gervonta Davis is no longer being viewed by the public as an exceptional athlete.

Rather he’s being viewed as a fugitive which is what he is at the moment, as police in Florida, along with Federal Marshals, are determined to bring him in to once again face an accusation of abusing a woman. Indeed, the WBA lightweight titlist has a history of being charged with mistreating women.

Now though, Davis is facing the consequences of not turning himself in. For ESPN reports that the WBA has taken action against Davis, who has been their world lightweight titlist.

READ: Following Arrest Warrant, WBA Change Gervonta Davis Champion

As things stand, Davis has gone from being a world champion to a champion recess courtesy of the World Boxing Association. What’s more, for WBA will be deciding what to do about the lightweight division in the near future. It appears that, unless the situation changes, the sport may move on from Davis due to his outside the ring dramas. And while it’s very true that people are innocent until proven guilty, the volume of Davis’ legal troubles is enough to raise eyebrows.

Things haven’t been well for David’s career lately either. His last fight was last spring at Times Square where he underperformed against Lamont Roach. Even though the fight was ruled a draw, many felt that Roach won. Rather than having a rematch, however, Davis accepted a fight with novelty superstar, Jake Paul…an understandable decision, if not one that endeared him to serious fans. Regardless, he ended up dropping out of the Jake Paul fight because of a civil action taken against him by yet another woman. And now we have law enforcement searching for the man. It’s quite a fall.

Boxing is understandably known as the red light district of sports. Still it’s also a venue for redemption. Hopefully Davis will be able to get his life back in order when all said and done. He may well deserve prison.. and if that’s so then he should serve time. Many convicts have walked away from incarceration and gone on to lead successful lives, however. If Davis is able to continue or resume his career, he might just have the ability to turn things around. First though, he has to take responsibility for his actions, and that means turning himself in. Nothing good can happen if he decides to live life is a fugitive.

WBA Change Gervonta Davis Championship Status Following Arrest Warrant

The World Boxing Association have finally spoken out after Gervonta Davis found himself at the centre of yet another legal issue.

The unbeaten 31-year from Baltimore currently holds the WBA world lightweight title, making the most recent defence of his crown when he was held to a majority decision draw against countryman Lamont Roach Jr in New York City last March.

Davis is yet to make a return to action following his controversial match-up with Roach, although the three-weight world champion was pencilled in to face Jake Paul in an exhibition on November but the bout was eventually cancelled after fresh domestic violence charges were brought up against ‘Tank’.

WBA Change Gervonta Davis Championship Status Following Arrest Warrant

Things have gone from bad to worse for Davis in the last week however after a warrant for the arrest of ‘Tank’ was issued by the Miami Police Department following an incident that occurred with his former partner in October.

As reported by Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN Knockout, the WBA have taken swift action, after naming ‘Tank’ as champion in recess.

“WBA: A tough decision is coming regarding Gervonta The president of @WBABoxing, @GilberticoWBA, chatted exclusively with @ESPNKnockOut regarding the Gervonta Davis case. For now, he will be named champion emeritus.”

From being one of the most exciting fighters on the planet to finding himself in a harrowing legal situation, Davis could now be forced to walk away from the sport and follow up on the plans he had made to retire from boxing, bringing an end to what is turning out to be a disappointing professional career.
