Neal Shipley earns PGA Tour card for 2026 season
Mt. Lebanon native Neal Shipley has earned his PGA Tour card for the 2026 season. Neal Shipley started becoming a household name last spring and summer when he earned low amateur honors at the Masters and at the U.S. Open, and starting in January, he'll be playing on the PGA Tour. Shipley turned professional last year and has seen his fair share of success on the Korn Ferry Tour, a developmental tour for the PGA Tour. So far this season, Shipley has two wins on the Korn Ferry Tour and has rattled off five straight top ten finishes and on Wednesday, he learned that he's amassed enough points to earn his PGA Tour card for the 2026 season -- and the news was announced to him live on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. "I have an official announcement for you and I don't think you know this, but you might've known that it was around the corner," McAfee, a fellow western Pennsylvania native, said. "Each year, 20 players earn a PGA Tour card through their position on the end of season Korn Ferry Tour points list. Throughout the season, the PGA Tour monitors players at the top of the list and when they meet a certain threshold, they are declared #TourBound, which means they've locked up their PGA Tour card for the following season." "Neal Shipley, it is with our honor, and I kind of gave it away there, you have a brain so you certainly understood what was going on and have been following along, but we are so incredibly lucky to be part of a moment that we hope changes the trajectory of your life, your family's life, and everything you have going on," McAfee said. "Congratulations, brother. With two massive comeback wins this season, you're a top 100 player in the world now. You've officially locked up your PGA Tour card. You are #TourBound, sir." After the news of Shipley earning his tour card broke, he was congratulated on social media by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. "Neal Shipley and Western PA know how to get it done," Gov. Shapiro said. "Congrats Neal -- keep making us proud." Shipley's PGA Tour career will officially get under in January for the first event of the season at the Sony Open at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Houston Rockets Not Prioritizing Kevin Durant Contract Extension
Houston Rockets Not Prioritizing Kevin Durant Contract Extension originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Kevin Durant's future in Houston isn't a pressing matter, at least not yet. According to a new report, the Rockets are not prioritizing an extension for the two-time Finals MVP this summer, instead focusing on other offseason business. While Durant remains a central piece of Houston's title ambitions, both sides are reportedly content to take a patient approach before entering serious contract talks. "There's not a sense of urgency to get it done right now. The Rockets have other business that they need to handle this summer," said ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "Primarily, the extension for Tari Eason. It was a big splash; it was a potential final piece that they needed to be a real-deal contender, that go-to guy they were sorely missing last season." As it stands, Kevin Durant is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, meaning that he could leave the Rockets after just one season with the team. While the 36-year-old legend is the Rockets' best player (26.6 points per game last season), the organization is not rushing to commit the next five years to the 2x Finals MVP. "They didn't push all their chips in; they were very patient as far as the pursuit of a trade for Kevin Durant. They waited until the price was at a value that they felt was comfortable for them," MacMahon continued. "Kevin Durant's their best player, he's not necessarily their priority. That's not an insult to him, but their priority is making sure they have as long of a runway as possible while trying to cash in on this window that they created by getting Kevin Durant." On his way out of Phoenix, Kevin Durant was actively working to hand-select his next destination. Despite no promise of a max extension, he chose the Rockets and left his NBA future open-ended. "Both sides want that to be more than a one-year window, but it's not gonna be a max extension. If that was the priority for Kevin Durant, it would've been done in conjunction with the trade, and he probably wouldn't have ended up in Houston. So, I think you'll see both sides take a patient approach.' Both sides are seemingly testing the waters on their next partnership. For Durant, he's still unsure what this tenure in Houston might bring. While he's optimistic about his team's title chances, he has an out next summer if things go horribly wrong, and history tells us he won't be shy about using it. For the Rockets, it would normally be ideal to secure a superstar for as long as possible, but they are not entirely convinced about how he'll fit with their younger roster. At nearly 40 years old, Houston isn't willing to sacrifice the stability of their young core to appease Kevin Durant. For both Durant and the Rockets, their entire partnership hinges on what happens in the 2025-26 campaign. If they can top their performance from last season and make a deep playoff run in the West, it could be all they need to agree on a long-term extension. Ultimately, both sides are in a feeling-out process. Durant is betting on Houston to give him one last legitimate shot at a title, while the Rockets are betting that his star power can elevate their promising young roster. If this season delivers on that potential, the groundwork will be there for a longer commitment. If not, this could end up being just another short stop in Durant's winding Hall of Fame story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Buccaneers QB depth chart: Teddy Bridgewater signs with Tampa Bay
A high school football state champion coach who recently got suspended from his coaching job is hanging up his whistle and sliding his helmet back on. That's right, Teddy Bridgewater is making another NFL comeback. Bridgewater signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday. Should he sign as expected, the 32-year-old journeyman quarterback will be joining his eighth team in a career that will have spanned 11 years since the Minnesota Vikings selected him with the last first-round pick in 2014. Here's why the Buccaneers are signing the veteran quarterback: BAKER MAYFIELD CONTRACT DETAILS: What restructured deal means for QB, Buccaneers Why the Buccaneers are signing Teddy Bridgewater According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Tampa Bay is bringing in Bridgewater in response to an injury to third-string quarterback Michael Pratt. Pratt, who spent last season on the Bucs' practice squad, is dealing with a back injury, leaving starter Baker Mayfield with less depth behind him on the roster. Schefter also wrote, "Bridgewater always has been widely respected and a player others want on their roster." Ten months after announcing his retirement from the NFL last February, Bridgewater made his return to the NFL. He signed with the Lions on Dec. 26 after he had led his former high school team to a state championship as their head coach. Lions head coach Dan Campbell said at the time, "To be able to somebody back here that's got experience – he's staying in shape, he's been throwing, just get him worked back in here a little bit – it just brings a level of professionalism, veteran presence, somebody that's great for our team, great for the position." Bridgewater didn't appear in any regular season games for Detroit, but he made a short appearance in the Lions' divisional round clash with the Commanders as trainers evaluated starter Jared Goff for a concussion. He completed his one pass attempt and handed off the ball to Jameson Williams on a trick play that ended in a touchdown before Goff returned to action. Now, he'll join Mayfield and fellow backup Kyle Trask in Tampa Bay, adding another NFC South infinity stone to a gauntlet that already included the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. BUCCANEERS JERSEYS: Buccaneers add extra flavor of 'Creamsicle,' bring back original road unis Teddy Bridgewater stats Bridgewater played in parts of 10 seasons across his 11-year NFL career – he missed the entire 2016 season with a knee injury. Here's how his career shakes out by the numbers: Completion rate: 1,372-of-2,076 (66.4%) Passing yards: 15,120 Yards per attempt: 7.3 Touchdowns: 75 Interceptions: 47 Passer rating: 90.5 Starter record: 33-32 Bridgewater also has one Pro Bowl appearance in his career, which came in 2015 – his second season and final year before the knee injury that altered the course of his career. TEDDY BRIDGEWATER NEWS: Former Lions QB says he has been suspended by Miami HS he coached to state title Buccaneers QB depth chart Should he sign, Bridgewater would join a few other quarterbacks already on Tampa Bay's roster for training camp. Baker Mayfield Kyle Trask Michael Pratt (back injury) Teddy Bridgewater Connor Bazelak Barring injury, Mayfield will be the Buccaneers' starting quarterback for a third straight season in 2025. He earned his first two Pro Bowl nods in each of his first two seasons in Tampa Bay. Trask has been the Bucs' backup since the team drafted him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He re-signed with Tampa Bay in March. Pratt was a seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in last year's draft and ultimately didn't make the team out of camp. He signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad after his release and signed a reserve/future contract to stay in Tampa in January. Bazelak signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent earlier this year. He played the final two years of his six-year collegiate career with Bowling Green after transferring from Missouri after the 2021 season and from Indiana after 2022.
