Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau finally put his recent final-round misfortune behind him to claim his first victory since the 2024 US Open. The victory came at the LIV Golf Korea event following his fourth consecutive Sunday in contention.
DeChambeau won at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon at 19-under, two strokes ahead of teammate Charles Howell III. Talor Gooch was third at 14-under.
The reigning US Open champion led the first round of the tournament with a 7-under score, tied with Gooch. A day later, he shot 6-under to take a comfortable four-shot lead over Richard Bland. Finally, he fired another 6-under on Sunday to win wire-to-wire.

Bryson DeChambeau of Crushers GC takes a moment after holing the winning putt on hole 18 on day three of LIV Golf Korea at Jack Nicklaus GC Korea on May 04, 2025 in Incheon, South Korea. MoreDeChambeau had reached the final rounds of his three previous starts with a chance to win, only to fade on Sunday.
In Miami, he was tied for the lead after 36 holes, but shot 3-over on Sunday to fall to fifth. A week later at the Masters, he entered the final round in second place, two shots behind leader Rory McIlroy, but also carded a 3-over on Sunday to drop to fifth.
Most recently, DeChambeau led LIV Golf Mexico City by one stroke over Cam Smith after 36 holes, but shot even par in the final round and was unable to prevent Joaquin Niemann from overtaking him.
Despite getting that monkey off his back, DeChambeau is more focused on what lies ahead:
"Glad to have pushed through in this victory and won this event, but there's a lot more work to be done this year. There's three more majors, and my eyes are focused on that with all the other LIV events, doing my absolute best in every single event I show up to."
It was the 31-year-old's third win at LIV Golf. DeChambeau had not won in the league since the 2023 season when he won at Greenbrier and Bedminster.
DeChambeau and Howell III led Crushers GC to their first win of the season and sixth since joining the league. Paul Casey and Anirban Lahiri also contributed to the victory, tying for 29th and 45th, respectively.
Bryson DeChambeau is now second in the individual standings for the season, less than a point ahead of Jon Rahm and more than 20 points behind Joaquin Niemann. Crushers GC is in third place in the team standings.
Rahm tied for 7th in Korea, his 19th top-10 finish at LIV Golf in as many events, including two wins.

Collins/Harrison rolling early
Follow live from today's U.S. Open mixed doubles action after Jannik Sinner pulled out of event Getty Images Collins/Harrison 3-0 Bencic/Zverev The most adversity the American alternates have faced so far is a tiebreak in the third game. Danielle Collins quickly wins the next two points in service to take care of that. What a start! The Athletic Just a cool $498 for one of these Polo Ralph Lauren bags being sold inside of Arthur Ashe Stadium. If my taste in fashion were slightly more refined, I might be tempted to see just how far I could push The Athletic 's expense policy. Alas... Collins/Harrison 2-0 Bencic/Zverev An early serve break for the Americans courtesy of Christian Harrison, whose doubles experience is on full display early. He's frustrating Belinda Bencic down the line and dominating with volleys in net play. Medvedev/Andreeva 3-2 Djokovic/Danilović Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva get the opening break of the match. It looked like Novak Djokovic was going to his serve his way out of trouble down 0-40, bringing it back to deuce and the deciding point. But the Serbian's approach and movement to the net gave Medevedev too much of a gap. The Russian perfectly placed a forehand winner between Djokovic and Danilović, leading to the winner and break. Medvedev will serve for the set. Collins/Harrison 1-0 Bencic/Zverev Excellent start for Christian Harrison, the most experienced doubles player on the court. He loves the opening service game against Bencic and Zverev. Getty Images Novak Djokovic doesn't play a whole lot of doubles, but he is one of the most precise servers in the game. That ought to be a useful asset for him and Olga Danilović against Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva, but Andreeva has developed into a bit of a doubles queen in her partnership with Diana Shnaider on the women's tour. Djokovic/Danilović 1-0 Andreeva/Medvedev A good start for Novak Djokovic and Olga Danilović. They win a deciding point, thanks to Djokovic's serve, giving them the first game of the match. Collins/Harrison 0-0 Bencic/Zverev Next up at Louis Armstrong Stadium is an intriguing matchup featuring Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison — the world No. 17 men's doubles player currently — against European heavyweights Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev. Collins and Harrison were only added to this field just hours ago when Jannik Sinner had to withdraw from his doubles pairing with Katerina Siniakova. Djokovic/Danilovic 0-0 Andreeva/Medvedev The matches continue at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Novak Djokovic, 24-time singles slam winner, is playing with Olga Danilovic. The Serbian pair is facing Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev. Game on! It helps that Taylor Townsend is a world No. 1 in doubles and Ben Shelton may be the best pure athelte in the sport other than Carlos Alcaraz. Shelton and Townsend would meet Errani and Vavassori in the semifinals if all goes well. That would be a ripper. My completely unscientific assessment is that Shelton/Townsend have the best vibes going and are the crowd favorites. Take that for what it's worth but they look like they will be tough to beat. Nothing but good vibes for Ben Shelton and Taylor Townsend after their win today. That's by design, Townsend tells ESPN: 💬 'Ben brings out a certain energy for me. ... He's the vibe coordinator. He keeps it fresh. We have so much fun. ... I know he's got my back, I got his.'' And Shelton has plenty of praise in return. 💬 'She's amazing, I'm just along for the ride. She carries the team. I just do what she says. Obviously, she's the no. 1 player in the world, best mixed doubles player in the world. I got lucky that we partnered up together.' Townsend/Shelton 4-2, 5-4(2) Anisimova/Rune That tiebreak was a masterclass from the women's world No. 1 in doubles. Taylor Townsend was everywhere on her side of the court, with Ben Shelton having to do very little other than a nice volley that Amanda Anisimova hit into the net. But despite the upset loss, Anisimova and Holger Rune are all smiles and jokes with Townsend and Shelton — who also really impressed today — when shaking hands Viewers at home have likely seen close-up shots of players signaling behind their back between points. In doubles, the serving team will signal where they are going to place the serve, and what the player at the net is going to do. They might poach — try and intercept the ball as it comes back; fake — pretend to poach, but then come back, in an attempt to an induce an error; or stay — just cover their zone from where they are. At an advanced level, returning teams will signal too, about the shot the person receiving the serve will hit and what their partner will do in response. Getty Images Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper finally eliminate Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz on their fifth match-point opportunity. The decisive point came at deuce, with no ad-scoring in effect for this mixed doubles tournament. With fan favorites like Raducanu and Alcaraz going out in that fashion, I wonder whether that will turn some fans against this shortened scoring format. Townsend/Shelton (1) 4-2, 4-4(2-1) Anisimova/Rune That's where Taylor Townsend's doubles mastery comes in. She anticipates Holger Rune's volley practically before it happens, and it leads to a big serve break and early tiebreak advantage for Townsend and Ben Shelton. Townsend and Shelton then hold serve on the next two points and have Amanda Anisimova and Rune on the ropes ... FINAL: Pegula/Draper (1) 4-2, 4-2 Raducanu/Alcaraz (WC) Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper are into the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship, defeating Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu in straight sets. A terrific final game ends with a deciding point. Pegula finds her spot on the serve opening up the court for Draper, who unleashes a deep forehand winner to secure the match. The fan favorite duo of Alcaraz and Raducanu exit the court giving the spectators some dramatic points in the match. Expect Pegula and Draper to be back on court in a little over an hour for their quarterfinal match. Page 2 Follow live from today's U.S. Open mixed doubles action after Jannik Sinner pulled out of event Getty Images Getty Images Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the U.S. Open mixed doubles, which begins today in New York. The men's world No. 1 in singles retired after five games of his Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz due to illness, and will recover before preparing for the U.S. Open singles. Sinner was going to partner Kateřina Siniaková, probably the greatest active doubles player on earth, in a compelling alliance of the two tennis disciplines. Siniaková, an 11-time Grand Slam doubles champion and a gold medalist at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is yet to be given a new partner. The official draw and order of play were updated Tuesday morning, but Sinner and Siniaková's place was occupied by 'Qualifier / Qualifier' as of 9:12 a.m., less than two hours before the start of the event. GO FURTHER Jannik Sinner withdraws from U.S. Open mixed doubles after Cincinnati Open final illness Which duo will win the $1 million prize? Which pairing are you most looking forward to watching? How will the mixed doubles championship impact the singles tournaments? We would love to hear from you! Be it a comment, a tennis question, a prediction or something else, we welcome it all. Email us at: live@ and we'll feature the best of what we get in this live coverage. So get involved! In addition to Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium is the other show court at the U.S. Open during the mixed doubles event. Fun fact: the stadium, named after the iconic American jazz musician, used to be the main center court before Arthur Ashe was built. Louis Armstrong, which now boasts a roof in the event of inclement weather, has a capacity of 14,053. No doubt this court will showcase some superbly entertaining mixed doubles matches. The most famous of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center's three stadiums is Arthur Ashe Stadium, also named after an American tennis great. It's the biggest tennis stadium in the world, seating 23,771 at full capacity, and has hosted numerous iconic moments through the years. What will the venerated show court have in store for us in 2025? One of the guiding forces for thinking and writing about ESPN is to always remember that the 'E' stands for entertainment, and entertainment is what makes this week's mixed doubles competition at the U.S. Open a perfect appetizer for the American sports network. The draw is oozing with boldfaced names and singles stars, a head-spinning thought as recently as a couple of years ago. Traditionalists might balk at the format changes, with sets played to four games instead of six; full-time doubles players and former greats have already criticized the USTA for devaluing a Grand Slam trophy. But here is the reality from the broadcaster perspective: this is a television show. It is a mixed doubles tournament slated to pair Emma Raducanu with Carlos Alcaraz; Iga Świątek with Casper Ruud and Venus Williams with Reilly Opelka. One with a $1 million prize for the winning team and all the makings of great television. One where men's singles world No. 1 Jannik Sinner will play with Kateřina Siniaková, one of the best doubles players in the world. GO FURTHER ESPN embraces U.S. Open mixed doubles with interviews between sets and new technology While there is excitement for this revamped version of mixed doubles at the U.S. Open, there is also a fair amount of skepticism. Here are your views on the event: 💬 Tony T: 'The Majors should protect the integrity of the sport. Nothing wrong with this format, but it shouldn't be at the U.S. Open.' 💬 Alan R: 'Another attempt to make tennis more promotable and less traditional. Not an advancement for the game.' 💬 Thomas F: 'I couldn't understand why all these big name stars were slated to play mixed doubles. Now I get it. It's an exhibition. Sets to 4, give me a break.' 💬 Anonymous: 'The mixed doubles is nothing more than a glorified exhibition. Ridiculous scheduling with first matches less than 24 hours after Cincinnati finals. No surprise if one or more of the finalists pull out.' 💬 Paul K: 'The Cincinnati finals then this doubles thing starts a day after flying into New York? What are these players: carefully conditioned and managed top athletes or circus animals to entertain us? Good idea 'til it's not.' 💬 Khsu59: 'I'm all for it and plan to watch. Mixed doubles historically has been a total non-event, even ignored by tennis nerds. I mean Sock and Oudin won when they played together as teenagers. It will be fun to watch some of the top players in a less pressured competition.' This may be the first year in a new format for mixed doubles at the U.S. Open, but the event itself has a long history in New York. Here are the past 10 U.S. Open mixed doubles winners — all under the traditional format for the tournament: 2024: Sara Errani / Andrea Vavassori / 2023: Anna Danilina / Harri Heliövaara / 2022: Storm Sanders / John Peers / 2021: Desirae Krawczyk / Joe Salisbury / 2020: Not held due to COVID-19 pandemic 2019: Bethanie Mattek-Sands / Jamie Murray / 2018: Bethanie Mattek-Sands / Jamie Murray / 2017: Martina Hingis / Jamie Murray / 2016: Laura Siegemund / Mate Pavić / 2015: Martina Hingis / Leander Paes The iconic complex on the north end of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens is the crown jewel of American tennis venues. USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center contains 22 hard courts, including three stadiums. Those courts are open to the public year-round — except when the U.S. Open is underway. The venue also sits near several other sports and cultural hubs in Queens including Citi Field, home of Major League Baseball's New York Mets. The center is directly operated by the United States Tennis Association and has hosted the U.S. Open every year since opening in 1978. In 2006, the venue was renamed from the USTA National Tennis Center in order to honor U.S. tennis legend Billie Jean King, who's often among the luminaries on the grounds to watch the action at every U.S. Open. Here is today's order of play for the first two rounds of mixed doubles action at the U.S. Open. As a reminder that excluding the final, all matches will be best of three sets — and you can find the full format for matches here or with a quick scroll down. Here is the full draw for the mixed doubles championship at the U.S. Open, with the first two rounds taking place today. While the skepticism surrounding this event is understandable to an extent, this condensed tournament format should provide strong entertainment value and high quality tennis. While being the last duo standing and overcoming this overwhelmingly talented field is a prize in of itself, the victorious doubles team will also receive a $1 million prize. A little financial incentive never hurts... All matches prior to the final will be best of three sets, with short sets to just four games. There will be no-ad scoring — so effectively it's next point wins whenever a game reaches deuce — as well as a tiebreak if a set reaches 4-4. Then if a third set is necessary, it will take place in the form of a 10-point match tiebreak. The final will be best of three sets to six games, again featuring no-ad scoring, with tiebreaks at 6-6 and a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set. Good news for tennis fans: Iga Świątek, one of the best players in the world, will be at the U.S. Open. She said on Instagram late yesterday evening after winning the Cincinnati Open: 'Oh my God, what a tournament... 'Super proud and happy. Now I'm just trying to make it to my flight so we can see each other at the U.S. Open tomorrow (Tuesday). 'I'll try to reflect later.' She will hope to recover from her exertions both physical and mental in Ohio, before competing here in Queens. Late last week Emma Navarro, Paula Badosa and Tommy Paul all withdrew from the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship — leaving Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula briefly without a playing partner. Pegula and Draper pivoted by pairing together, while Sinner is now set to play alongside doubles specialist Kateřina Siniaková. Here is the star-studded list of participants for the U.S. Open mixed doubles draw, as it currently stands (and don't be surprised if there are some more withdrawals throughout the course of this morning): DIRECT ENTRANTS Jessica Pegula / Jack Draper Iga Świątek / Casper Ruud Elena Rybakina / Taylor Fritz Amanda Anisimova / Holger Rune Belinda Bencic / Alexander Zverev Mirra Andreeva / Daniil Medvedev Madison Keys / Frances Tiafoe Karolina Muchová / Andrey Rublev WILD CARDS Olga Danilović / Novak Djokovic Emma Raducanu / Carlos Alcaraz Kateřina Siniaková / Jannik Sinner Taylor Townsend / Ben Shelton Venus Williams / Reilly Opelka Sara Errani / Andrea Vavassori Naomi Osaka / Gael Monfils Lorenzo Musetti / Caty McNally You can watch the first two rounds of the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship starting today at 11 a.m. ET on ESPN2 and from 1 p.m. ET on ESPNEWS.

Tomic turns back clock, US Open main draw in reach
Bernard Tomic's impressive resurgence has put the Australian two wins away from his first US Open main draw appearance in nine years. The 32-year-old offered up moments of his awkward, disruptive best in a comprehensive 6-4 6-4 defeat of American Patrick Kypson on Wednesday (AEST). One of six Australian winners on the day, Tomic next plays Portugal's Henrique Rocha after the world No.168 upset French veteran Pierre-Hugues Herbert in a lengthy three-set battle. There are US Open concerns for Australian world No.79 Chris O'Connell, who retired after losing the first set to Roberto Bautista Agut at the lead-up event in Winston Salem. The battling Aussie withdrew from last month's Toronto Masters with an oblique injury and then didn't play in Cincinnati, before attempting a return this week. Tomic, the 2009 US Open junior champion hasn't featured in the Flushing Meadows main draw since 2017 and last played qualifying in 2018. But Tomic, who climbed as high as world No.17 in 2016, has returned on a mission after aborting last week's delayed ATP Challenger final in Colombia to properly prepare for his main-draw shot. The Barranquilla decider, delayed a day because of rain, was Tomic's second final at that level in the month and could have been his first major title since 2018. Often criticised for a perceived lack of effort and intensity, Tomic has knuckled down in the last two years to surge from a career-low 835 to at least No.167 when the next rankings are calculated. A bit of Bernard Tomic magic in Barranquilla 👏 #ATPChallenger — ATP Challenger Tour (@ATPChallenger) August 15, 2025 In June he took two top-100 scalps, including compatriot Rinky Hijikata. A US Open berth would be Tomic's first grand slam main draw appearance since he qualified for the Australian Open in 2021. Jason Kubler will meet Kyrian Jacquet in the second round after beating Brit George Loffhagen 6-4 7-5. Australian women Olivia Gadecki, Priscilla Hon and Lizette Cabrera all won their first-round matches, while Destanee Aiava upset eighth seed Sara Bejlek, 6-4 4-6 6-4. But Alex Bolt and Daria Saville both lost after four Australians had won first-round qualifying matches on Tuesday. The qualifiers are hoping to join a dozen Australian direct entrants, led by men's world No.8 Alex de Minaur, and wildcards Tristan Skoolkate and Tahlia Gibson.

NFL Insider Reveals Price Tag for Potential Eagles Trade Target
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. Landing Trey Hendrickson on the Philadelphia Eagles might be a long-shot scenario for Howie Roseman and the front office, but don't be surprised if the Super Bowl-winning team at least gives it a try. Over the years, Howie Roseman has built a reputation for making calls and doing his due diligence on players, even if the likelihood of striking a deal is low. Trey Hendrickson just might be the next blockbuster trade candidate in the NFL. At the start of training camp, Hendrickson was holding out from the Cincinnati Bengals. As the veteran edge rusher wanted a new deal, the lack of progress on talks convinced Hendrickson to spend some time away from the team. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson #91 of the Cincinnati Bengals gets set during the second half of an NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, at Paycor Stadium on December 1, 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio. (... Defensive end Trey Hendrickson #91 of the Cincinnati Bengals gets set during the second half of an NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, at Paycor Stadium on December 1, 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio. ( MoreAlthough Hendrickson returned to the team, a new deal is still off the table. Now, the Bengals are expected to field offers, as a trade is no longer as doubtful to happen. If the Eagles wanted to give it a try, what would it cost? According to the NFL Insider, Dianna Russini, the price is expected to be high. via @DMRussini: Teams that have recently inquired about Bengals star Trey Hendrickson were told Cincinnati's asking price included a young defensive player and a 2026 first-round pick, according to league sources. The player heading back does not have to be a pass rusher. Teams that have recently inquired about Bengals star Trey Hendrickson were told Cincinnati's asking price included a young defensive player and a 2026 first-round pick, according to league sources. The player heading back does not have to be a pass rusher. — Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) August 18, 2025 The young defensive player would obviously have to be a productive one. If the Bengals are going to aim high, they might ask for someone like Cooper DeJean. In that case, there's nothing more to discuss. That's not to say that Hendrickson's value is below DeJean's level. The Bengals' pass rusher is among the best in the league, as he registered a league-high 17.5 sacks in 17 games last season. He also produced 46 tackles, which also marked a career-high for the seasoned veteran, who has 110 appearances under his belt. The Eagles have formed a bit of a youth movement lately. DeJean fits the timeline and is viewed as a future NFL star in Philadelphia. Trading a high-upside second-year player, along with a valuable pick, for a 30-year-old player, who wants to break the bank with a long-term deal, doesn't make a ton of sense for the Eagles—especially when you factor in the upcoming Jalen Carter contract discussions. Hendrickson might be a dream candidate for some in Philadelphia, but the Super Bowl champions aren't in need of a big swing like that at this time. For more Philadelphia Eagles and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
