‘We'll obviously miss him': Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews on Mitch Marner's departure
Auston Matthews speaks to reporters ahead of Mayor Patrick Brown's Hockey Night in Brampton event on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025. Toronto Maple Leafs star player Auston Matthews says the team will 'obviously miss' Mitch Marner, who was traded to the Las Vegas Knights this summer. Speaking to reporters in Brampton on Wednesday afternoon ahead of Mayor Patrick Brown's hockey game fundraiser, Matthews was asked about his thoughts on Marner's departure. ADVERTISEMENT 'We'll obviously miss him. He's a great friend, great teammate,' the Leafs centre said. Marner was traded in a sign-and-trade deal with Vegas. In return, Toronto acquired Nicolas Roy. Matthews said trades are part of the business side of the game. 'That's tough but obviously I wish him nothing but the best. We'll just keep it moving,' Matthews said. Marner's trade came on the heels of another second-round exit for the Leafs in the Stanley Cup playoffs, losing to the eventual champions, the Florida Panthers. When asked how he's feeling about the upcoming NHL season, the Toronto captain said he's excited, especially with new teammates. During the offseason, the Leafs also acquired forwards Matias Maccelli, Dakota Joshua, and Michael Pezzetta and defenceman Henry Thrun. 'I know we got a great team and a great group of guys in the locker rooms. So looking forward to kind of getting started,' Matthews said. '(It's) got to take some steps but I think that's a good problem to have so really looking forward to it.'

Scheffler doesn't like comparisons to Woods, but Tiger inspired him
ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler shies away from comparisons to Tiger Woods even as the numbers are starting to make that inevitable. Article content Scheffler has been No. 1 in the world longer than anyone since Woods. He is the first player since Woods to have five-plus wins in back-to-back years. He comes into the Tour Championship on a streak of 13 tournaments in the top 10. Article content Article content 'It's very silly to be compared to Tiger Woods,' Scheffler said. 'I think Tiger is a guy that stands alone in the game of golf, and I think he always will. Tiger inspired a whole generation of golfers. You've grown up watching that guy do what he did week in, week out, it was pretty amazing to see.' Article content Scheffler was amazed by the only time he played with him in a tournament, a moment nearly five years ago that shaped the way the 29-year-old from Dallas now dominates his sport. Article content It was the final round of the Masters in November 2020, both of them 11 shots out of the lead with no chance to win. What stands out from that autumn Sunday was Woods making a 10 on the par-3 12th hole and then made birdie on five of his last six holes. Article content Scheffler remembers the opening hole just as well. Article content As he looks back to the start of his pro career, Scheffler felt he was guilty of not giving himself enough chances at winning and rarely being in the final group. Article content 'I always found myself just a little bit on the outside looking in, and that's one of the things I learned from playing with Tiger,' he said. Article content 'We're in 20th place or whatever going into Sunday at the Masters. Tiger has won five Masters, he's got no chance of winning the tournament. Then we showed up on the first hole and I was watching him read his putt, and I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, this guy is in it right now.' Article content 'That was something that I just thought about for a long time. I felt like a change I needed to make was bringing that same intensity to each round and each shot. And I feel like the reason I've had success in these tournaments is … just the amount of consistency and the intensity that I bring to each round of golf is not taking shots off, not taking rounds off, not taking tournaments off. Article content Article content 'When I show up at a tournament, I'm here for a purpose and that's to compete hard, and you compete hard on every shot.' Article content That's what golf has witnessed since Scheffler finally broke through at the WM Phoenix Open in 2022, and within two months he was a Masters champion and No. 1 in the world. Article content It doesn't mean he wins every week — golf is still golf, an impossible game to master. Article content This week is an example of that. The change to the format in the Tour Championship put emphasis on getting to East Lake, and now the top 30 players start from scratch for 72 holes to see who wins the FedEx Cup. Article content Scheffler has no advantage by starting at 10 under par, nor does he have a points advantage. It's a welcome change for most players because they signed off on it. Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion, says he didn't mind the starting strokes because great play should get some reward.
