Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn win PGA Tour Champions team event
The tournament hosted by Steve Stricker — who tied for second with brother-in-law Mario Tiziani — switched to the team format this year, giving the PGA Tour Champions its only team event.
Clarke and Bjorn finished at 32-under 181 at TPC Wisconsin. They opened with a better-ball 59 and shot a 58 on Saturday in a scramble round.
The 56-year-old Clarke, from Northern Ireland, won for the fifth time on the 50-and-over tour. The 54-year-old Bjorn, from Denmark, won his first Champions title.
Striker and Tiziani closed with a 65 to match the teams of Alex Cejka-Soren Kjeldsen (59), Doug Barron-Dicky Pride (69) and Steve Flesch-Paul Goydos (64) at 28 under.
Bernhard Langer and Steven Alker were another stroke back after a 63. Ernie Els, the winner last year in individual play, teamed with Tim Herron for a 66 that left them 26 under.

Brewers manager does not want to hear about Cubs being "underdogs"
Brewers manager does not want to hear about Cubs being "underdogs" originally appeared on The Sporting News As the 2025 season heats up, Brewers manager Pat Murphy had a short, sharp message for anyone calling the Cubs 'underdogs.' He made it clear: enough with that line of thought. It is a simple reminder that this is a tight race for bragging rights in the NL Central. Brewers manager does not want to hear about Cubs being 'Underdogs' He says, "They have all-stars, MVP candidates, veterans, gold-glove winners, world champions. What don't they have? They're not the underdogs, trust me." Milwaukee has pulled ahead and is now leading the division by nine games heading into the second game of the doubleheader. The team has been firing on all cylinders, pitching, defense, and timely hitting have all contributed to their climb to the top. Their surge has erased early underestimates and silenced critics who questioned their depth or questioned whether they could maintain their pace. MORE: Freddy Peralta continues his case for 2025 National League Cy Young Meanwhile, the Cubs have stumbled in recent weeks. Where they once seemed firmly in control of the division, they now sit several games back. Their offense, once a strength, has cooled just when the pressure has mounted. The decline has material consequences: a slipping hold on the division and growing urgency from players and fans alike. Even so, Chicago remains firmly in the race for the postseason. Their wild-card position is secure, and they still control their destiny to some degree. But the crack in the armor is visible. Questions swirl about whether their offense can rediscover its spark, whether pitching will stay consistent, and whether key players can stand up in the stretch run. For Milwaukee, it's about building on momentum. For Chicago, it's time to regroup and fast. As Murphy warns against underestimating the Cubs, the message is clear: both teams know how quickly things can change in baseball.

Jayden Meghoma to Rangers loan transfer agreed as details of Jefte deal revealed
Rangers have agreed a loan deal for Brentford's Jayden Meghoma. The England youth international is travelling north to complete his move. The Light Blues made their move for the 19-year-old, as they are set to sell Jefte to Brazilian club Palmeiras. READ MORE: Nobel Mendy to Rangers transfer is off as talks with Real Betis collapse READ MORE: Jayden Meghoma a Rangers 'transfer target' as £10million Brentford star lined-up as Jefte replacement The deal is expected to be confirmed in the next 24 to 48 hours and will allow Rangers to name him as a wildcard signing for their Champions League play-off with Club Brugge. Sporting director Kevin Thelwell had Meghoma high on his left-back options. Brentford have high hopes for Meghoma, who they signed from Southampton last year. The Bees sent him on-loan to Preston North End and believe a move to the Scottish Premiership, where he will get European exposure is the next move. The left-back has been a problem position for Russell Martin having to switch the likes of Max Aarons over to the opposite side. Rangers are set to sell Jefte for a £6million fee with another six figures in add-ons to Palmeiras. The move will see Rangers make a ten-fold profit on the fee they paid to get him last summer to buyout APOEL's option, where he had been on loan from Fluminese. It sees Rangers make major money on a player brought to the club by former technical director Nils Koppen. The Ibrox side also have a 17.5% sell-on as part of the Jefte deal.
