Caitlin Clark rookie card sells for whopping $317K to continue record-breaking auction run
And one place you absolutely will not do that is at an auction.
The Indiana Fever megastar, who is still out due to a groin injury, is making waves in the world of sports memorabilia, though not by her own doing.
Clark's 2024 Panini Flawless Logowoman rookie card, a one-of-one edition featuring an autographed jersey patch sold for a whopping $317,000 at auction on Saturday.

The auction began at a comparatively modest $50,000 on July 11, ending on Saturday at over six times the original amount.
They auctioned 21 bids, according to Goldin Auctions, and quickly doubled to $100,000 at the auction just over 40 minutes after the initial bid.
The bidding reached $180,000 within two days, which was the top price until a bidder came in at $200,000 on July 30.
As of August 9, the highest bidder was committed to a $260,000 purchase.
This was one of three Clark Logowoman cards released through Panini America's 2024 Rookie Royalty WNBA collection.

The Immaculate Logowoman sale comes after a record-breaking $660,000 auctioned off for Clark's Flawless Logowoman 1/1 at Fanatics Collect last month.
That's the record holder for any women's sports card at public auction, per Yahoo.
This marks the third time Clark's cards have sold for over $300,000.
Clark, due to injuries, has been limited to just 13 appearances this season.

To this point in the year, she has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.5 turnovers per contest.
She's only shooting 36.7 percent from the field this season, and her 3-point shooting has dropped off to 27.9 percent.
The Fever, however, have found a way to pick up the pieces and be a contender in the league. They currently sit at No. 5 in the WNBA (18-14), firmly in the playoff race as they await Clark's return, though that date is unknown for the time being.

NFL can be put on trial over bombshell Brian Flores discrimination claims against league, Giants
The NFL can be put on trial over civil claims that Brian Flores and other Black coaches face discrimination, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday, rejecting the league's attempt to force Flores into arbitration with Commissioner Roger Goodell as the arbitrator. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld Judge Valerie Caproni's ruling that Flores can proceed with claims against the league and three teams: the Denver Broncos, the New York Giants and the Houston Texans. Advertisement In a decision written by Circuit Judge Jose A. Cabranes, the appeals court said the NFL's arbitration rules forcing Flores to submit his claims to arbitration before Goodell do not have the protection of the Federal Arbitration Act because it 'provides for arbitration in name only.' The 2nd Circuit said the NFL constitution's arbitration provision 'contractually provides for no independent arbitral forum, no bilateral dispute resolution, and no procedure.' Brian Flores is the Vikings' defensive coordinator. Getty Images 'Instead, it offends basic presumptions of our arbitration jurisprudence' by forcing claims to be decided by the NFL's 'principal executive officer,' the appeals court said. Advertisement NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said: 'We respectfully disagree with the panel's ruling, and will be seeking further review.' Messages for comment were sent to lawyers who argued before the appeals court. In February 2022, Flores sued the league and several teams, saying the league was 'rife with racism,' particularly in its hiring and promotion of Black coaches. Advertisement Two other coaches later joined the lawsuit, which seeks to proceed as a class action, although Caproni ruled that their claims could go to arbitration based on the language in contracts they signed with teams. After filing his lawsuit, Flores said he believed he was risking the coaching career he loves by suing the NFL, but he said it was worth it for generations to come if he could succeed in challenging systemic racism in the league.

Getty Images Flores is currently the defense coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings after working previously as a coach for the New England Patriots from 2008 to 2018, the Miami Dolphins from 2019 to 2021 and the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022. He joined the Vikings in 2023. Advertisement Caproni said in a March 2023 decision that descriptions by the coaches of their experiences of racial discrimination in a league with a 'long history of systematic discrimination toward Black players, coaches, and managers — are incredibly troubling.' 'Although the clear majority of professional football players are Black, only a tiny percentage of coaches are Black,' she said.

Gary Player Names Jordan Spieth Best Golfer in World But With 'Tragedy'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jordan Spieth's run this year has been anything but smooth. After finishing 38th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and slipping to 54th in the FedEx Cup standings, the three-time major winner now finds himself outside the top 50 for the second consecutive year. His Ryder Cup hopes hang by a thread, sitting at No. 28 in the U.S. standings, with no more chances to prove himself after failing to advance. Amid this uncertainty, nine-time major winner Gary Player has stepped in with a bold and brutally honest assessment. Gary Player makes a bold claim about Jordan Spieth being the best golfer in the world.

(Image Collage | Collage: Getty Images) During his recent appearance on 'The Golf Supply's YouTube video, Player came clean about his thoughts while discussing swing mechanics and the state of modern coaching. The golf legend declared that Spieth is the best golfer in the world. But with a "tragedy." "Jordan Spieth, I think, is the best golfer in the world," Player told 'The Golf Supply'. "But in my opinion, he was taught the wrong thing. And he just went downhill." Player's critique centered on the swing fundamentals and what he sees as a widespread flaw in American golf instruction. "There is a tremendous lack of knowledge with golf," he stated in the video on YouTube. "I would say in America today the golf pros that are teaching know less about golf. They have all the equipment and the technology, but they are teaching golfers to do this at the top. But you can't -- once you do that, you are gone." He referenced legends like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer to illustrate his point. "Jack won majors for 25 years. I won majors for 20 years. Palmer won for six years because he was shut. Look at Dustin Johnson. You haven't heard of him. When was the last time you heard of Dustin Johnson?" Player believes Spieth's swing mechanics, specifically his club position at the top, have limited his potential. "You've got to get the club and your hands under the club," the three-time Masters winner exclaimed as quoted. He went on to praise Spieth's competitive spirit and course management, calling him "a wonderful man" and "a wonderful guy for golf." "He's such a competitor, such a wonderful man. A wonderful guy for golf, the best short game, best course management but he just can't hit the ball. That is a tragedy." Player's comments come at a time when Scheffler is dominating the PGA Tour, having won three majors in the past 14 months and leading the Ryder Cup standings. Yet, for Player, raw talent and mental toughness still outweigh recent results. Spieth, meanwhile, remains optimistic. "Next year's going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it," he shared while talking to reporters during the Wyndham Championship. "One good offseason should get me nailed down to where I could be as good as I've been. That's my goal." 🚨👀⛳️ #NEW — Jordan Spieth predicts that he can get back to the top of his game in 2026. 'Next year's going to be a really good year for me.. I can feel it.' — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) July 30, 2025 Whether that comeback materializes remains to be seen. But if Gary Player's words carry weight, and they often do, Jordan Spieth's story is far from finished. It's just waiting for the right swing.

Scottie Scheffler Refuses Comment on Caddie's Situation: 'Family Is in Good Spirits'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Scottie Scheffler has been playing without his regular caddie, Ted Scott, since last Sunday, and his absence will extend at least through the entire BMW Championship. However, the reason for Scott's absence has remained private, and Scheffler isn't about to reveal what's behind it. In fact, the world No. 1 specifically declined to offer details on the matter when meeting with the press before his performance at the BMW Championship. A reporter asked him about the possibility of Scott returning for the Tour Championship, and Scheffler responded by asking them to drop that line of questioning. "I'm not going to answer anything like that," Scheffler told the reporters. "If that's why you came out here, you're not going to get much. I think Ted's where he needs to be right now, and I think caddieing is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be. I've been able to talk to him a few times. The family is in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well. I'm not going to comment any further on anything going on with his family." Scottie Scheffler of United States and his caddie Ted Scott look on during a practice round prior to The 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on July 16, 2025 in Portrush, Northern Ireland.

Getty Images/Pedro Salado Scheffler will have Mike Cromie, who regularly works with Chris Kirk, working with him in Maryland. The four-time major champion is apparently satisfied with the arrangement, all things considered. "It's been good, Mike's a great guy," he said. "He works really hard and does a good job. We're both learning a new golf course this week, so it's been fun. He'll ask some questions about things -- basically, he's just going to try to fill in as best he can this week." With Scott out, Cromie was an available option because Kirk finished 51st in the FedEx Cup rankings and failed to qualify for the BMW Championship. Naturally, Scheffler is in a very different situation, as he leads the rankings by a wide margin and is the favorite to win at Caves Valley Golf Club. If he does, it would be his fifth victory of the season and his first on the PGA Tour without Scott carrying his bag. It has not yet been reported whether Cromie will remain with Scheffler next week, should Scott be unable to resume his caddie duties for the TOUR Championship.
