Isak considers Newcastle exit: report
Alexander Isak has reportedly told Newcastle he wants to explore a move away as the club confirmed he was not part of the squad travelling to Asia for pre-season friendlies. The Daily Mail said Thursday that Newcastle bosses "are aware of Isak's wish to consider his options this summer". It came hours after the Saudi-owned Premier League club said the 25-year-old forward would miss the Asia tour "with a minor thigh injury". Isak's 23 Premier League goals last season made him one of the world's hottest properties and he has been linked with English champions Liverpool. The Mail said Liverpool were still interested in acquiring the Sweden international despite announcing the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike on Wednesday. Ekitike's arrival, for a reported initial fee of £69 million ($93 million), takes Liverpool's spending during the current transfer window to more than £250 million. Isak still has three years left on his contract at Newcastle, whom he joined in 2022 from Spanish side Real Sociedad. He was left out of Saturday's 4-0 defeat in a friendly at Celtic. But Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said at the time he was "confident" that Isak would stay at St James' Park, adding that he expected him to be part of the Asia tour. "It's difficult for me to give 100 percent clarity on any player," he said. "I'd never sit here and do that because it's football and you never know what could happen. "All I can say is that Alex is happy at Newcastle. He loves the players that he plays with, the staff, the team." Newcastle face Arsenal in Singapore on Sunday before flying to South Korea, where they will play a K League all-star team and Tottenham. jw/gj

Scottie Scheffler installed as favorite for all 2026 majors, including the Masters
In one of the most honest and introspective moments of the 2025 pro gold season, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler gave one of the most revealing answers of the year during his press conference ahead of the 153rd British Open in what turned into a therapy session of sorts for him. Scheffler insisted that he sometimes wondered what the point of his golf obsession was — and then he went out and dominated the field to capture his fourth major championship. With the major season now in the rearview mirror, it's time to look ahead to 2026 and, according to Vegas oddsmakers, those scheduling tournaments might be the ones asking, "What's the point?" According to BetMGM, Scheffler is the favorite to win each of golf's four majors next year, which was also the case in 2025, when he did capture half of the world's most prized trophies. Scheffler captured the PGA Championship in May, meaning he only needs a U.S. Open to complete a career Grand Slam. The only others in the modern era to pull off that trick are Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.'Any doubts about Scottie Scheffler's British Open pedigree were emphatically squashed by the American at Royal Portrush with an effortless four-shot victory," BetMGM senior trader Matt Wall told USA Today Sports. "BetMGM immediately shortened his 2026 Masters price to +400 from +500 and that could still shorten further should he continue to dominate on the PGA Tour. The comparisons with Tiger Woods certainly don't look out of place right now. All the early action is on Scottie to win all four majors at +25000, and he is the favorite in each one right now.'

ATP Washington picks: Dan Evans vs. Corentin Moutet odds, prediction
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. If I could get everybody in the sporting world to watch one non-Grand Slam tennis match this year, it may be Thursday's tilt between Dan Evans and Corentin Moutet at ATP Washington. This is a matchup for the tennis sickos, the ones who stick with the sport from the first ball Down Under until they turn off the lights at the ATP Finals in November. Neither Moutet nor Evans has ever cracked the top 20; neither of them has ever been beyond the fourth round at a Grand Slam, and they both are under six feet tall. They have more than that in common. Both players are known for their craft, guile, and, at times, their temper. Moutet has become especially renowned for his on-court antics, but Evans is no stranger to an outburst himself. ATP Washington: Moutet vs. Evans odds, predictions In addition to their temperament, Moutet and Evans are also terrific shot-makers. Given their size and lack of power, they need to be creative with how they approach matches, so getting them both on court at the same time could produce fireworks. Dan Evans in action at ATP Washington. Geoff Burke-Imagn Images After a couple of years toiling on the Challenger Circuit and then on the ATP, Moutet has put together some strong showings in 2025. The Frenchman has found a niche as a thorn-in-the-side player, and has used that style to upset two top-10 opponents (Taylor Fritz, Holger Rune) in the last three months. Moutet's win over Fritz came as part of an 8-3 stretch, which was one of the best of his career. Unfortunately, that run was halted by Y.B. Wu during qualifiers for ATP Washington. Moutet would get into the main draw as a lucky loser, however, and he defeated Alexandre Muller, 6-0, 6-1, in the Round of 32. Evans, a former winner at this event, had an up-and-down grass-court season, but he was able to grind out wins over Zizou Bergs and Alex Michelsen on the hard courts in D.C. Moutet is the younger player and carries a much higher ranking than Evans right now, but the Englishman still has some life left in his legs, and he clearly likes the conditions at this tournament. In a matchup between two similar players, I see no reason why the odds should be this wide. This thing could go in a million different directions, which is good news for the underdog.
