J.J. Watt was among the celebs at the Masters. On Monday, he got to play Augusta National
J.J. Watt fulfilled a dream. He got to play Augusta National Golf Club.
One day after Rory McIlroy's historic green jacket victory at the 2025 Masters, Watt, who was among the many celebs seen hanging out at Augusta during the week, got to take to the course for a round of golf.
How'd it go?
Watt, who played for the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals during his 11-year NFL career, lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, and is good buddies with LIV Golf's Jon Rahm, playing in the same group in the pro-am ahead of the WM Phoenix Open in 2023.
The Monday after Masters is also traditionally set aside for members of the media who are lucky enough to have their name drawn in the lottery.

As Cameron Champ continues to push to see more Black golfers represented in both the youth and PGA Tour levels, his parents Jeff and Lisa Champ have witnessed their son's dedication on and off the course. Advertisement Back in 2022, Champ made Masters history alongside Tiger Woods and Harold Varner as the first black trio to play the major at Augusta National. Cameron launched the Mack Champ Invitational as part of his foundation's efforts to honor his late grandfather and have an event for "the game's best junior golfers of diverse backgrounds." The PGA Tour golfer understands it is going to take some time to see the results of the family's hard work. Cameron Champ plays his shot from the first fairway during the first round of the Grant Thornton Invitational at Tiburón Golf Matay-Imagn Images "It's going to take not just a village, but it's going to take the entirety of the Tour, those around the Tour and the entire golfing community to get things on a broader level," Cameron told The Augusta Chronicle's Gabriel Stovall during an April 2022, interview. "It's a matter of setting up programs to introduce kids to the game. And it has to be someone who looks like them. You're not gonna get some guy in a suit coming into those communities saying, 'Hey, you wanna play golf?'" Advertisement Cameron's dad Jeff has expressed admiration for seeing his son honor his grandfather. "My father (would be) proud, too,' Jeff explained to NBC News' Curtis Bunn during an April 8, 2021, interview. 'To honor my dad this way was beautiful.'

Big Taylor Swift Announcement Made Following Wedding Appearance with Travis Kelce
Big Taylor Swift Announcement Made Following Wedding Appearance with Travis Kelce originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a relatively low-key start to 2025—during which Taylor Swift intentionally stepped back from the spotlight—her presence has dramatically surged over the past two weeks. The momentum kicked off with her long-awaited announcement on Instagram and her official website that she has regained ownership of all her masters, marking a monumental milestone for the 35-year-old global superstar. "All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me," Swift wrote. "All of my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Since that announcement, Swift has been seen publicly several times, with the most recent appearance on Friday, when photos surfaced of her attending a wedding alongside her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Check it out: Following several photos of the power couple at a recent wedding, some major news about Swift's music emerged. On Saturday morning, it was reported that Apple Music has officially updated its platform and copyright credits to recognize Taylor Swift as the rightful owner of her entire discography Fans reacted to the news: "Awesome news. Thank you Apple. Congratulations Taylor," a fan said. Someone else added, "this is why APPLE MUSIC always ended SLOWTIFY." Another fan posted, "I was waiting for this!" One more fan commented, "FINALLYYYY."

Following the announcement last week, her music surged up the charts, with Swift capturing the No. 1 spot on global Spotify and her entire catalog landing inside the Top 100 on iTunes. Remarkably, she achieved this without releasing any new music in 2025. However, in her announcement letter, Swift hinted at upcoming projects, revealing that she has completed the re-recording of her self-titled debut album, Taylor story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

92 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 92?
92 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 92? With 92 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 92. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 14 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 92 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 92? Cardinals players to wear No. 92 No. 92 currently belongs to defensive lineman Bilal Nichols, acquired in free agency a year ago but only played in six games before a neck injury ended his season. DL Bilal Nichols (2024-?) DL Kevin Strong (2023) DL Antwaun Woods (2022) DL Zach Kerr (2019, 2021) DL Rashard Lawrence (2020) LB Dennis Gardeck (2018) DL Frostee Rucker (2015-2017) DL Dan Williams (2010-2014) DL Bertrand Berry (2004-2009) DL Barron Tanner (2000-2003) DL Angel Rubio (1999) DL Eric England (1994-1996) DL Dexter Manley (1990) Berry is probably the best No. 92. He was an impactful pass rusher who got to be part of the Super Bowl team in 2008. Williams was solid but unspectacular while Rucker was solid.
