PGA Tour money leaders: Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas maintain safe leads at top of the list
Rory McIlroy was going to remain No. 1 on the PGA Tour money list regardless of his finish in the PGA Tour's no-cut, Signature Event, the Truist Championship.
Justin Thomas also was likely to remain in second.

But both turned in solid performances to solidify their standing on the money list entering this week's PGA Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.
Sepp Straka hoists his trophy for winning the Truist Championship on May 11, at the Philadelphia Cricket Club Wissahickon Course.
McIlroy tied for seventh at the Philadelphia Cricket Club Wissahickon Course and is on the brink of reaching $14 million in earnings for the season. He earned $602,500 and now has $13,929,150.
Thomas got into the mix before Sepp Straka closed out his second victory of the season, and earned $1,760,000 for tying Shane Lowry for second. Thomas passed $8 million in earnings and has $8,680,663.
Straka reaped the $3.6 million winner's check to move from 11th on the money list to third at $8,228,709. The other big mover was Lowry, who went from 14th to ninth and has $5,743,758.

McIlroy can't be passed at the PGA, even if he misses the cut and Thomas wins. McIlroy has a lead of more than $5.2 million over Thomas and while the PGA hasn't announced the purse yet, it won't be that much.
One player moved into the top 30 on the money list, Jacob Bridgeman. He tied for fourth and took in $826,666 to climb from 35th to 26th and is less than $65,000 from being the 25th player this season to pass $3 million in earnings.

Eagles' Fullback Comments Take New Light in Waiver Claim
Eagles' Fullback Comments Take New Light in Waiver Claim originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie turned heads during league meetings this offseason when he declared that the organization hoped to bring back the fullback position in 2025. Advertisement Their latest pickup may not be a true fullback, but he certainly sheds new light on the comment about change in general. The Eagles claimed running back/return specialist Keilan Robinson off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robinson was a fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft and recorded just five offensive snaps during his rookie campaign. So what's the big deal? The Alabama and Texas product recorded over 900 kick-return yards in college while adding over 1,100 yards from scrimmage on the offensive side of the ball. At 5-9 and 183 pounds, Robinson is hardly a fullback; he's the farthest thing from that. Advertisement He is set up to compete for a spot on the practice squad. ... but his experience as a returner could also help the team. The organization signed Avery Williams in the offseason, which could be seen as adding competition to the role. Hypothetically, though, let's say Robinson can earn a spot on the game-day roster. Can he add a wrinkle as an extra back? This waiver claim of Robinson isn't specific to the fullback position ... but it does show Philadelphia's continuous pursuit to run the football is never-ending. And it's not just because of Saquon Barkley's excellence, either. The organization has truly committed to bringing players who can operate a run-first offense. ... with more news about what can be done with a fullback maybe on the horizon.

Now or Never For Eagles' Young Cornerback
Now or Never For Eagles' Young Cornerback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Eagles have spent plenty of draft capital on defensive players out of the University of Georgia. Jalen Carter, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith, and Smael Mondon Jr. are just some of the more recent names who have been selected by Philadelphia in the draft process recently. Advertisement And there is one more Georgia player who was a part of their National Championship defense ... Cornerback Kelee Ringo was Georgia's top defensive back during their title-winning days. He was taken by the Eagles in the fourth round of the 2023 draft and has sat behind veterans like Darius Slay and James Bradberry for the last two years. With both veterans gone, it is in a sense "now or never'' for Ringo to prove he can be a starter in the league. In limited action, Ringo has been pretty good at the cornerback position. Pro Football Focus graded out his sophomore season at a respectable 65.8. That is considered above average for the cornerback position. Advertisement Philadelphia will not simply give Ringo a starting role. He will be competing with veteran Adoree Jackson for that key role opposite second-year corner Quinyon Mitchell on the outside. It seems silly to think that a player in just his third year in the league is in a "do or die" situation. Especially one as young as Ringo. Despite his two years in the league, he is still just 22 years old. But Ringo isn't just looking to find a home on special teams. He may be Philadelphia's top special-teams player, but Ringo has far bigger goals. Ringo wants to start on the outside. If he can't beat out a player like Jackson—someone who has never played in the Vic Fangio system—then when will it happen? Advertisement He may have a spot on the roster as a special-teams ace, but if he wants to make his mark as a starter, his approach needs to be of the "now or never'' variety.

Can Eagles' Jalen Hurts Reach New Heights in 2025?
Can Eagles' Jalen Hurts Reach New Heights in 2025? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has done more in his first four years with the team than any other quarterback in club history. Advertisement Since he became a starter in 2021, the Oklahoma product is a two-time Pro Bowler, an All-Pro, has been to the Super Bowl twice, won once, and is a Super Bowl MVP. Few quarterbacks in history have that kind of record throughout their entire career - let alone their first four seasons. As Hurts is preparing for his fifth season as a starter, and sixth in the NFL, expectations around him are split. Some analysts want to see the quarterback take a natural progression as a passer in a similar way that Russell Wilson did when he was a young Super Bowl champion with Seattle. Others look past the numbers altogether. So long as Philly wins, Hurts' legacy will remain elite. When the Eagles took Hurts in the second round of the 2020 draft, they looked at him in a similar light that they did Wilson back in 2012. They weren't able to get the Wisconsin product then, and were hellbent on making sure that wouldn't happen again eight years later. Advertisement It worked out for them. Hurts has been the kind of leader and winner teams beg for in a starting quarterback. Can he reach new heights as a Super Bowl champion now? Hurts' numbers aren't bad. He has a career completion percentage of over 64%, has thrown for close to 15,000 yards, and has an 85:39 touchdown-to-interception ratio. These numbers are good. They can be a whole lot better. That's where Hurts is now. He is a proven winner with the talent around him. If he can improve as a passer and bolster his numbers, his standing as not only one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but the greatest quarterback in franchise history will be unchallenged for good. Advertisement It'll certainly help his future candidacy if he puts up numbers that push for the Hall of Fame as well.
