Rabada rebounds from suspension to take five-for in WTC final for South Africa
LONDON — Kagiso Rabada was suspended from cricket only six weeks ago.
On Wednesday, the elite South Africa seamer received a standing ovation from the crowd at Lord's.
The accolade was for Rabada starring in the World Test Championship final by taking 5-51 in 15.4 overs to help South Africa rout defending champion Australia for 212 on day one.

Kodai Senga's injury will be a massive test of the Mets' biggest strength
Access the Mets beat like never before Don't miss Mike Puma's text messages from Queens and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Mets. Sign up Now With the national anthem just completed and the first pitch of Thursday's Mets matinee about 10 minutes away, David Stearns was indulging a phone call about a potential rotation logjam with Paul Blackburn already relegated to the bullpen and Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea progressing in their injury rehabs. In a variety of ways, the president of baseball operations offered that the Mets would make decisions when they had to make decisions and not before because often the decisions are made for you. 'Two weeks in baseball,' Stearns said, 'is a long time.' It wasn't even two hours later that the words resonated more powerfully. Kodai Senga injured his right hamstring covering first base in the sixth inning of what would be a 4-3 win over the Nationals. He will have an MRI on Friday, but Carlos Mendoza already acknowledged an IL stint is definite. With it came another reminder that there really is no such thing as having enough starting pitching.

PGA Tour to hire NFL executive Brian Rolapp as CEO of business enterprise, AP source says
The PGA Tour is hiring longtime NFL executive Brian Rolapp as the first CEO of its new commercial division, created two years ago when tour reached a tentative agreement with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf, The Associated Press confirmed Thursday. Jay Monahan, who announced the framework agreement in June 2023, will stay on as commissioner of the PGA Tour. Monahan announced in December the search for a CEO of PGA Tour Enterprises, now backed by a $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group. The tour declined comment on the hiring, first reported by Sports Business Journal. A person with direct knowledge of the tour's plans confirmed the hiring, speaking on condition of anonymity because nothing has been announced. Such developments typically are not publicized during major championships. Rolapp has been with the NFL since 2003 and has been executive vice president and chief media and business officer since 2017, working closely with Commissioner Roger Goodell. Sports Business Journal obtained a memo Goodell sent to staff Thursday announcing Rolapp would be leaving to pursue other opportunities. Monahan announced an agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which was never finalized. From that framework agreement came a for-profit arm, PGA Tour Enterprises, which Rolapp would oversee. The tour brought on SSG in January 2024, and soon announced a first-of-its-kind equity plan for players. Monahan said in December of the CEO search, 'We're bringing new perspectives on to our team to help us realize the incredible opportunities ahead for our sport.' Meanwhile, negotiations with PIF to bring the world's best players together stalled in the spring, even with the involvement of President Donald Trump, as LIV Golf wants to keep its team concept in place. LIV Golf since has hired Scott O'Neil as its new CEO. Rolapp brings strong media connections to the PGA Tour which is starting to plan for new broadcast deals that run through 2030. The PGA Tour has seen a strong uptick this year through extensive feedback with its fans, including a recent decision to revamp the Tour Championship to crown its FedEx Cup champion. Arthur Blank, the Atlanta Falcons owner who is part of SSG, was part of the search committee that included Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, Monahan, PGA Tour board chairman Joe Gorder and Sam Kennedy from SSG. ___ AP golf:
