Tiger Woods shows true colours with response after turning down Ryder Cup offer

Tiger Woods has still made himself available for Team USA’s preparations for the Ryder Cup, despite turning down the opportunity to lead the side as captain. The golf legend, who boasts 15 major titles, hasn’t featured in the biennial showdown since 2018, when he suffered defeats in all four of his individual encounters.

Team Europe went on to claim victory in what represents one of eight triumphs for them across the past 11 Ryder Cup tournaments. Woods had been tipped as a potential skipper for Team USA earlier this year as they seek to alter the balance of that record.

However, the 49-year-old declined the role, acknowledging that his commitments with the TGL and his participation in PIF talks had consumed much of his schedule. But he’s shown his class by still doing what he can to lend a hand.

Back in February, the sporting legend explained: “I just didn’t feel like I would be doing the captaincy or the players in Team USA justice if I was the captain with everything that I have to do.”

Following Woods’ decision to step aside from the captaincy opportunity, Keegan Bradley was subsequently selected for the role, with the 39-year-old announcing his player picks for Bethpage Black later this month back in August.

Bradley revealed his shock at being chosen as captain whilst acknowledging he had discussed the appointment with Woods, stating: “I don’t think I’ll ever be more surprised by anything in my entire life. I had no idea. It took a while for it to sink in.

“I’ve spoken to Tiger a bunch. I spoke to him this morning on the phone. He’s been very helpful. Tiger has always been really helpful to me. He’s a great voice to hear and he’s been nothing but – he’s been reaching out to me helping me, which has been amazing.”

Prior to Bradley confirming his selections for Team USA, rumours were rife about whether he’d choose himself and become the first playing captain at the Ryder Cup since Arnold Palmer.

During his considerations, Golf Channel’s Ryan Lavner revealed on the Sky Sports Golf Podcast that he sought guidance from Woods, who has first-hand knowledge of the situation, having been the inaugural playing captain in Presidents Cup history back in 2019.

Laver commented: “He certainly has sought the advice of Tiger Woods, who keep in mind was a playing captain in 2019 [at the] Presidents Cup. I think the onus is going to be on Keegan Bradley.

“He can rely heavily on Jim Furyk, a guy who’s been there and done that, he can rely heavily on Brandt Snedeker, who was part of the back-room staff last year at the Presidents Cup.”

Woods proved entirely successful in his double role as he claimed victory in all three matches he contested at the tournament, guiding the U.S. to triumph. Bradley’s squad, meanwhile, features automatic qualifiers Scottie Scheffler, J. J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau.

The final six captain’s selections were announced as Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns.

VIDEO: ‘Dodgy looking’ clip of Trump playing golf in Scotland spa

‘Dodgy looking’ clip of Trump playing golf in Scotland sparks cheating debate

In Golf in the Kingdom, a classic sports book about adventures on a mystical Scottish links course – and the spiritual growth that can take place there – the narrator’s ball ends up buried in a gorse bush.

His appeal to the local pro/guru he is with to drop the ball clear of the thorns is met with a brusque: “Play it like it lies. It’ll come out.” The ball stays put, but the ordeal leads to life lessons being learned.

How Donald Trump Cheats at Golf, According to a Sportswriter: 'He'll Do Anything'

READ: Donald Trump ‘lie’ over number of golf championships exposed af…

The principle of playing the ball as it lies is a central one in golf – rule 9 according to the world’s two main governing bodies, the R&A and the United States Golf Association (USGA).

So it is not surprising that eyebrows have been raised across the world at an apparent loose interpretation of the principle by Donald Trump while golfing in Scotland. A viral clip appears to show that as Trump approaches a bunker, an aide discreetly drops a ball just outside the sand trap. Trump springs from his buggy, club in hand and heads toward the ball, apparently eager to strike it from this friendly spot.

The Stop Trump Coalition, which demonstrated against the US president in Scotland, leapt on the moment and accused him of foul play. A spokesperson said: “Cheating at golf is a long way from Trump’s worst crime – but it does show the problem. Instead of calling it out, the powerful play along. His approach to golf is the same as his approach to business – and to politics.”

Most golf experts agree it is going too far to conclude that Trump really was cheating. The R&A did not want to get drawn in, but a source who works with the governing body said Trump could have argued he was practising and wanted to hit from a particular spot or that he was just playing casually.

But the problem is that it was not a good look for a sport that is working hard to appeal to a wider, younger audience.

Andrew Cotter, the golf commentator and presenter of the UK podcast The Chipping Forecast, said the context of what happened was not clear but concluded it looked “very, very bad”. For Cotter, the issue was the apparently secretive nature of the ball being dropped from the aide’s hand, which he described on the show as “dodgy looking” and a “bit of a covert operation”.

The award-winning American sportswriter Rick Reilly took to X to wryly state: “Well I’m just personally very disappointed in him.”

Reilly is the author of the New York Times bestseller Commander in Cheat, which examines Trump’s claims about his abilities and his success in the game. In the book, Reilly writes: “He fudges and foozles and fluffs” and alleges Trump is known as Pelé – after the Brazilian footballer – at one great US club because he kicks the ball back on to the fairway so often.

Another US writer, Tom Nichols, a specialist in international security at the Atlantic, joined in, comparing the episode to a scene in Goldfinger when a henchman drops a ball down his trouser leg for the titular villain during his match against Sean Connery’s James Bond, but added that his behaviour on the golf course was not “nearly the worst thing” about the president.

If a palate cleanser from all this was needed, a good place was Porthcawl on the south coast of Wales, where the Women’s Open is being played. One of the UK’s great golfers, Dame Laura Davies, made it clear during a Q&A for fans at the event that playing the game the right way remained vital, saying golf was one of the few sports in which competitors refereed themselves.

She cited the recent example of the American golfer Justin Thomas calling a penalty on himself in an event in South Carolina when he – and only he – noticed that his ball had moved and drew attention to it. Davies said: “No golfer ever wants to be associated with getting away with something.”

Liz Gray, who described herself as a “high handicapper” there to pick up tips from the world’s best female golfers, said: “I hated the clip. Golf is trying to shake off its fusty image and Trump doesn’t help.”

A coach encouraging children to try their hand at the sport in the festival village said young people were being attracted to golf by YouTubers such as the US-based Good Good crew. “I hope these kids don’t see that Trump video,” the coach said.

Time and again, the fans at Porthcawl made the point that the game is hard – but you must not cut corners to make it easier.

As the great American golfer Bobby Jones put it: “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.”

Floyd Mayweather claimed a former world champion was robbed against Muhammad Ali.. ‘Go back and look at the fights’

Floyd Mayweather believes one legend beat Muhammad Ali on three separate occasions.

‘Money’ and ‘The Greatest’ are two of the best competitors to have ever laced up the gloves.

Ali once brawled with Joe Frazier during an interview, showcasing his showmanship, while also producing breathtaking performances against ‘Smokin’ and George Foreman to prove he could walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

However, his countryman is adamant that there’s one boxer that he didn’t truly deserve to beat.

Floyd Mayweather says Ken Norton won all three fights with Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali fought Ken Norton three times.

‘The Jawbreaker’ won the first outing via split decision. ‘The Louisville Lip’ then bounced back with a split decision win of his own in the second bout, before settling the rivalry with a unanimous decision win in the third clash.

However, Floyd Mayweather is adamant that the man considered by many to be the best boxer ever, lost on every single occasion.

In an interview with Club Shay Shay, in 2020, he claimed: “Ken Norton really beat Ali all three times, go back and look at the fights.”

‘Floyd Mayweather and Muhammad Ali are vastly different figures’, says Hall of Famer

Mayweather and Ali were both incredibly talented operators.

The pair both mesmerized fans with their remarkable defensive skills.

However, while both were renowned trash talkers, in the eyes of one boxing personality, they’re not remotely similar figures.

Manny Pacquiao’s Manager Admits They Made A ‘Horrible Choice’ With One Opponent: “A Big Mistake”

Manny Pacquiao‘s manager Sean Gibbons has revealed his regret in signing off one fight in particular for the Filipino great.

‘PacMan’ made a sensational return to the ring last month as he challenged reigning WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 19.

Despite the best efforts of the 46-year-old eight-division world champion, the fight was declared a majority decision draw with two out of the three judges at ringside scoring the bout 114-114 even, whilst the other had it 115-113 in favour of Barrios.

JUST IN: Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard fight in jeopardy as

Speaking to The Ring Magazine, Pacquiao’s manager Gibbons shared his thoughts on Pacquiao’s 2021 clash with former WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas, who was drafted in as a late notice replacement after Errol Spence Jr pulled out of facing ‘PacMan’.

“It’s real simple, you’re fighting a 5-foot-10 southpaw. Next thing you know, you’re fighting a [expletive] octopus, the worst possible style for Manny Pacquiao. We rolled the dice and came up with snake eyes, it was a horrible choice and I blame myself a lot for it. Manny ultimately said, ‘Hey, the show has gotta go on,’ because that’s the kind of guy Manny is. But we made a mistake there, it can all be made up for with a win here.”

Ugas pulled off the performance of a lifetime to defeat Pacquiao via unanimous decision when they clashed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in June of 2021, successfully defending his WBA world title at 147lbs in the process.

Ugas couldn’t capitalise on this impressive victory however, as he suffered consecutive defeats to Errol Spence Jr and Barrios in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

As for Pacquiao, he has announced that he plans to return to the ring in December following his draw with Barrios earlier this summer.

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard fight in jeopardy as legal action threatened

Promoter Don King is looking to prevent Michael Hunter from fighting Jarrell Miller.

The heavyweight clash was recently announced for September 11, as part of an unprecedented three-day undercard for Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford’s undisputed super middleweight showdown.

However, King, who claims to have a legally binding contract with Hunter, has issued a cease-and-desist letter to event organisers TKO Group Holdings and their financiers, SELA.

At 91, Don King still longs for the spotlight. But it is shining elsewhere | Boxing | The Guardian

JUST IN: VIDEO: How Canelo’s Legacy Would Be ‘Massively’ Tarnished By

King has a grievance with the fight as he recently won the purse bids in May to stage Kubrat Pulev vs Hunter for the lesser WBA ‘regular’ heavyweight title.

“They continue to disobey the WBA and its clear directive on the Pulev-Hunter championship fight,” said King in a press release distributed to various members of the media.

“Hunter is under contract to Don King Productions, and he’ll be fighting for a world championship.”

King won the promotional rights for the bout with a $1.1million bid.

The Hall of Famer was the sole bidder as Pulev’s promotional outfit, Epic Sports & Entertainment, refused to take part after Hunter claimed he was a free agent.

The WBA subsequently denied two appeals from Pulev’s promoter to have the fight thrown out.

Pulev vs Hunter has been slated to take place on August 23 in Florida, but the confirmation of Hunter vs Miller for three weeks after the proposed date has thrown a spanner in the works.

In light of the announcement, WBA interim champion Fabio Wardley has instructed his team to explore a shot at Pulev’s belt.

“I think the WBA said that this has to be cleared up before the end of the year, so whoever has the interim belt has to fight for the regular belt before the end of the year,” Wardley told Ring Magazine.

“So if that doesn’t happen, we have to have a word with the WBA and say, ‘Hang on, what are we doing here?’

“I’m not the one holding things up. I’ve done my job, won by knockout, so how do we get things moving?

“We are hot on that, we’re checking in and making sure things are moving properly.

“This is just boxing at the top, isn’t it? It all gets a bit stop-start and stagnant.

“Right now, my plan is to fight for that regular belt, and I’m not looking at other options.

“Sometimes you have to wait and hold your position. I’m at the point now where I don’t have to fight for the sake of fighting.

“It depends on what the WBA say, but my argument will be that I’ve done my job, I’m busy, I’m active and also ready to go now.”

Canelo’s Legacy Would Be ‘Massively’ Tarnished By Crawford Loss, Says Algier

Chris Algieri believes that a loss for Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford will “tarnish his legacy” for good. He will have lost to a former lightweight champion, who is moving up two divisions at 37 on September 13th.

Algieri believes that the loss for Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) would fan the flames for the criticism he’s already receiving for ducking certain fighters during his career. He shouldn’t lose to someone as old, inactive, and small as Crawford. The difference in resumes between the two fighters is massive. Crawford has an Adrien Broner-type resume.

READ: VIDEOS: Terence Crawford’s smashed greatest rival to achieve his

Canelo has fought opposition that is actually good, fighters like Gennadiy Golovkin, Dmitry Bivol, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Erislandy Lara.

THE MASSIVE TARNISH ON CANELO’S LEGACY

“The guy may do it, and if he loses, I don’t really think it affects his legacy all that much. All the accomplishments that he already has, Crawford. They’re not going to be forgotten. He’s jumping up two weight classes,” said Chris Algieri to Fight Hub TV, talking about there being no downside for Terence Crawford going up against Canelo Alvarez on September 13th.

Crawford’s accomplishments aren’t much if you look at his resume. He’s a four-division world champion and a two-division undisputed champion. His actual wins aren’t impressive at all if you follow the sport and understand who is good. He beat B-level fighters.

The only A-level guy Crawford beat was Israil Madrimov, and that was controversial. “So, I think it’s a win-win, loss-loss situation for these guys. A win-win for Crawford, and a lose-lose for Canelo. That’s a great point made by Crawford. That’s a good way to get under Canelo’s skin,” said Algieri. “Yeah, there is a lot on the line for Canelo because if he loses this, the tarnish on his legacy is massive. He lost to a welterweight. He lost to a lightweight. He was a lightweight world champion.”

The $100 Million Canelo Payday Canelo knows it’s a no-win situation. That’s why he didn’t want to fight Crawford in the first place. The only reason he chose to is because Turki Alalshikh lured him with a career-high $100 million payday. So, if Alvarez loses, the money will be a salve for his wounded feelings. He can drown his sorrows with the mega-millions and invent reasons why he was beaten.

“He [Crawford] jumped up two weight classes. He was 30 years old [correction: 37, pushing 38 on September 28]. There’s going to be a lot of that. A lot of the criticism Canelo has been receiving lately, for not fighting certain guys, is going to come back to haunt him that much more,” said Algieri. A loss to Crawford will show fans that Alvarez hasn’t improved since his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013.

He was gifted decisions over Gennadiy Golovkin and Erislandy Lara. He waited until GGG was 36 before he finally fought him. Losing to an old Crawford, who should have lost his last fight against Israil Madrimov, would prove the theories fans have about Canelo being a pampered, protected fighter. “I like Canelo, but he gets a lot of heat out there. So, I think a loss here is going to be a lot more. A loss here is going to fan those flames,” said Algieri.

CRAWFORD FIGHT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN

The criticism Canelo has been getting won’t go away regardless of how good he looks against Crawford. Fans won’t let him forget that he’s swerved David Benavidez, David Morrell, Diego Pacheco, and Christian Mbilli. Fighting an old, small Crawford, who is coming off an abysmal performance in his debut at 154 last year, won’t take that away. This fight should not even be happening if boxing were regulated like other sports.

Nick Kyrgios Speaks Out on Emma Raducanu Following ‘Unprofessional’ Remark at Cincinnati Open

Nick Kyrgios has explained why his heart goes out to Emma Raducanu amid a bizarre incident at the Cincinnati Open.

Raducanu and Aryna Sabalenka were involved in a gruelling third round clash at the Cincinnati Open on Monday.

But the Brit succumbed to the world No.1, who edged out 7-6 (7-3) 4-6 7-6 (7-5) in a gruelling contest that lasted three hours and nine minutes.

The match between Raducanu and Sabalenka will also be remembered for a frosty exchange involving the umpire.

Before serving a vital point in the third set, Raducanu was held up by a crying child in the stands.

“It’s been like 10 minutes,” she exclaimed.

The umpire replied: “It’s a child. Do you want me to kick the child out of the stadium?”

Raducanu shrugged before some fans shouted ‘yes’ on her behalf.

Naturally, the incident between Raducanu and the match official got tennis fans online talking.

People on social media sided with the 22-year-old, calling out the umpire’s ‘professionalism’.

And, judging by his previous comments, Kyrgios would also likely back Raducanu.

In a post on X responding to former professionals criticising Raducanu earlier this year, he wrote: “What’s with old retired players giving their opinion on our stars now?

“I love A-rod [Andy Roddick] and I agree we all need to chill with the rackets and all that, but geezus, I read an article about a past female player talking about Raducanu, no offence but she is a far far bigger name already.”

Kyrgios also explained why his heart goes out to her.

“My heart does go out to her,” he said on talkSPORT last June.

“I look at that run, I was watching it on TV, she was smiling and enjoying her tennis so much and that whole two weeks for her was an incredible journey and she then won the US Open.

“But since then, I’ve seen her kind of enjoy her tennis, but I’ve never really seen her smile and really enjoy it as she did when she won the tournament.

“Whether or not that it’s external pressure, I don’t know what’s going on, but at the end of the day, we play sport because we love it and we go out there because we want to compete and entertain people.

“I hope that she figures out what’s wrong and what’s going on there, I hope she finds the answers, but I completely understand.

Inside the Rapid Rise and Impressive Progress of Tiger Woods’ Ambitious New North Texas Golf Course

Former PGA Tour star J.J. Henry, alongside Bluejack National’s visionaries Andy Mitchell and Kristin Mitchell, is driving remarkable momentum in bringing the one-of-a-kind Bluejack Ranch community to life.

On a warm, sunlit day in June, Henry could be seen maneuvering his Can-Am vehicle across the dusty roads and gentle hills of what was once expansive ranchland in Aledo. His mission? To give an up-close tour of a project poised to transform the landscape — a \$100 million master-planned development spanning 914 acres, complete with hundreds of homes and a world-class 18-hole golf course crafted by Tiger Woods’ own design firm, TGR Design.

The land’s rugged, natural beauty is reminiscent of the Texas Hill Country, with sweeping views and rolling terrain that invite exploration. For Henry, navigating the property has become second nature. Once known for his precision on the professional golf circuit, he now jokes about his latest role: “I went from a tour player to a tour guide, and I love it,” he says with a grin while steering through the property.

Unveiled to the public just last year, Bluejack Ranch is shaping up to be far more than a luxury neighborhood. The plans read like a dream list for outdoor enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike: two championship-caliber golf courses, an equestrian facility with a horse stable and outdoor arena, and a 20-acre “working dude ranch” complete with horses, longhorn cattle, and even miniature donkeys. Residents will also enjoy a spa and wellness retreat, multiple pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a family entertainment center designed for gatherings and celebrations.

From its ambitious amenities to its picturesque setting, Bluejack Ranch is steadily emerging as one of North Texas’s most exciting and distinctive new communities — a place where world-class design meets the spirit of the Texas countryside.

Lamont Roach Reacts with Joy to the Resolution of Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ Domestic Violence Case

On July 11, Gervonta “Tank” Davis (who is the WBA lightweight champion and one of boxing’s biggest stars) was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of assault after an alleged domestic violence dispute with his ex-girlfriend (who is also the mother of his two children).

The incident occurred on June 15, when Davis allegedly struck the woman on the back of the head. He also allegedly slapped her in the face while she was removing the children from the back of Davis’ car after he came to pick them up for Father’s Day.

The victim reportedly had a cut on her inner lip as a result of this altercation, and her mother (who appeared on the scene after the reported altercation occurred) had a phone recording where Davis could reportedly be seen throwing an object at his ex-girlfriend.

On August 12, Dylan Segelbaum of the Baltimore Banner broke news that the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office decided against filing charges against Davis. This stemmed from Lindsay Chase, an attorney who represents Davis’ ex-girlfriend, reporting via email that she was declining to prosecute Davis.

Segelbaum’s article also notes that any attempts to contact the ex-girlfriend’s mother have been unsuccessful in the wake of Davis’ arrest, and since the police officer who arrived on the scene hadn’t witnessed any of the alleged altercations take place, he couldn’t be used as a witness.

As a result of this verdict, Gervonta is now free to focus on his boxing career for the time being. Of course, he was scheduled to face Lamont Roach on August 16, in a rematch of their March 1 title fight that ended up being a majority draw.

Many believed that Roach deserved to win that controversial fight for various reasons, which could have resulted in Davis receiving the first loss of his professional career. This is why there was a lot of intrigue about this upcoming rematch, which has since been postponed.

Roach made his feelings about Davis’ case getting dropped clear on X Tuesday, as he responded, “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣” to an X post that featured a video of comedians Druski and Kevin Hart along with streamer Kai Cenat dancing and celebrating together with the caption, “Lamont Roach hearing the Gervonta Davis news today”.

Roach might be thinking that his chances of getting the record straight against Tank in the near future have just become much better, now that this legal case is not an issue.

Anthony Joshua Poised to Ignite Boxing History By Reviving Muhammad Ali’s Most Iconic Moment in Next Showdown

It seems we may now be close to the details of Anthony Joshua’s next fight being announced. For months on end, speculation has been rife in the boxing world regarding who ‘AJ’ will bounce back against following his brutal KO loss to Daniel Dubois last September, and his opponent now seems all but confirmed. Despite there being talk of a potential deal finally being struck for Joshua to fight Tyson Fury, after years of fans being desperate for that fight, as well as rumours of a bizarre matchup against social media superstar turned professional boxer, Jake Paul, it looks like ‘AJ’ will be fighting neither man. Instead, he will likely be sharing the squared circle with a fellow Olympic gold medalist.

Last week, it was revealed by French media outlet L’Equipe that Joshua had told French boxing promoter Yohan Zaoui that there was a 90% chance that his next opponent would be Tony Yoka, who won Olympic gold at the 2016 Olympic Games, and that the fight would take place in December. Although there seems to be plenty of things close to being set in stone for Joshua vs Yoka, one thing which hasn’t been spoken about much is where the fight will take place, however, that changed earlier today, as Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith gave a huge tease and hint as to where the fight could take place.

Although there has been some initial disappointment from boxing fans that Anthony Joshua’s next fight will be against Tony Yoka as opposed to a big heavyweight star, the fight’s location could generate an incredible amount of hype. On Tuesday, the 12th of August, Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith posted a picture to social media of himself inside the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana, seemingly teasing that Joshua vs Yoka could take place in Africa.

A boxing superstar as big as Joshua potentially fighting in Africa is huge news for the sport as well as Africa as a continent, and will give plenty of fans a throwback to what it was like back in 1974, when Muhammad Ali and George Foreman competed against each other at The Rumble in the Jungle in Kinshasa, Zaire, now the Democratic Rebublic of Congo.

Anthony Joshua

The Rumble in the Jungle is to many the most iconic event in the history of boxing, and the most iconic moment of Ali’s legendary career. If ‘AJ’ is able to make the event even a fraction as good and historic as Rumble in the Jungle was, it could revitalise his career.
