NCAA Men's Golf Championship tickets
Fans must have tickets to attend this year's NCAA Golf Championships. Here's how to buy them.
Omni La Costa course info
Omni La Costa will play as a par-72 layout measuring 6,330 yards. There was an extensive renovation by the architectural team of Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, and the NCAA Championship was the first event on the layout before it opened for public play last year.
Hanse and Wagner implemented significant changes to the North layout. Among the renovations: A new drivable par-4 11th was built, the green of the par-3 16th was repositioned in a fashion reminiscent of Augusta National Golf Club's No. 12, and the par-5 18th was stretched to more than 600 yards with water on both sides of the fairway.
The revised layout will feature six sets of tees that play from 4,500 to 7,500 yards. Other changes include transitioning irrigation lines that will continue to use reclaimed water, the removal of several man-made ponds and the reintroduction of natural barrancas that feature drought-tolerant and native species of plants.

Caitlin Clark Has Had a Shocking Playoff Impact for the Pacers
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. The Indiana Pacers pulled off a massive Game 3 win in the NBA Finals over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. After losing Game 2, the Pacers bounce back strong and pulled out a hard-fought 116-107 win to take a 2-1 series lead. Coming into the Finals, very few were giving Indiana a chance to knock off the Thunder. Oklahoma City, who was the best team in the NBA during the regular season, is a much tougher opponent than anyone the Pacers have faced to this point in the playoffs. They're still finding ways to win. In Game 3, Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was in attendance. She has attended eight games throughout the playoffs and her presence has made a shocking impact. Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever attend Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge... Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever attend Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 31, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. More Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Image During the eight games that she has appeared at Indiana home games, the Pacers have gone 8-0 in the postseason. She's apparently their good luck charm.

The Pacers are unbeatable with Caitlin Clark in the building 🔥#YesCers | #NBAFinals — FanDuel (@FanDuel) June 12, 2025 Needless to say, Indiana can only hope that Clark is able to attend Game 4 on Friday night. The Fever do play at home on Saturday afternoon against the New York Liberty, which could give the WNBA superstar a legitimate chance to make an appearance once again. Should the series go to a Game 6 between the Pacers and Thunder, that game would be played on June 19. Clark's team would be on the road playing the Golden State Valkyries, which would take her potential appearance off the table. During Indiana's Game 3 win over Oklahoma City, Bennedict Mathurin led the way with 27 points off of the bench. Tyrese Haliburton had a big-time game with 22 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds, while Pascal Siakam scored 21 points in the win. Read more: Celtics Receive Major Kristaps Porzingis Update Before NBA Offseason Heading into Game 4 on Friday night, the Pacers are just two wins away from their first championship in franchise history. Those two wins won't come easy, but they have already exceeded the expectations that many had set for them entering the NBA Finals. Hopefully, Clark will be able to attend Game 4 and remain undefeated while attending Indiana home games. Taking a 3-1 series lead would be a huge step for the Pacers, but the Thunder aren't going to let that happen easily. Game 4 is scheduled to tip off at 8:30 p.m. on Friday evening.

Auburn football is in a two-team race for four-star QB Landon Duckworth
Auburn football is in a two-team race for four-star QB Landon Duckworth In a surprising move, Duckworth is focusing on Auburn and South Carolina ahead of his June 26 commitment date. The future of the Auburn quarterback position could be good hands. On Wednesday night, Hayes Fawcett of On3 reported that 2026 four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth has cut down his list down to two schools, Auburn and South Carolina. Duckworth had upcoming visits to both Florida State and Ole Miss, but, in a surprising move, has canceled both according to the report. Duckworth is currently ranked the No. 6 quarterback for the 2026 class by 247Sports. They also have Duckworth rated the No. 50 overall player and No. 3 in Alabama. Duckworth led the Jackson Aggies to a 14-1 record and a 4A AHSAA State Championship in 2024. They ended the season with a dominating 69-6 victory over Cherokee County to claim the championship. For the season, Duckworth threw for 3,439 yards and 39 touchdowns with a completion percentage of 67%. He also stresses the defense with his running ability. Duckworth rushed for 648 yards and 12 touchdowns. Duckworth is not the only prospect from Jackson that the Tigers are looking to add in 2026. Running back Ezavier Crowell has listed Auburn as one of his top teams. The four-star running back is scheduled to announce his decision on June 26. Auburn is going into this season with Jackson Arnold as the top quarterback. Behind him will be incoming freshman Deuce Knight who impressed during the spring. If the Tigers are able to add Duckworth, the quarterback room will hold more talent than the program has seen in its history. The Auburn 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked 39th with eight commitments.

Schools Can Pay Their Athletes—and College Sports Will Never Be the Same
College sports are dying, college sports are dead, college sports aren't about college anymore—it's Christmas in June for anyone feeling apocalyptic about the state of college sports, now that a settlement has been approved allowing schools to directly pay their athletes. This isn't a salary, technically. This is compensation from schools to athletes for use of their 'name, image, likeness,' but it's not a measly NIL like a burly offensive lineman getting all the bratwurst he can eat. This is a real paycheck, directly from the college. It's really happening—for Division I schools that have opted in. It's set to start July 1. 'A new beginning,' NCAA boss Charlie Baker called it. Is it going to work? Will it cannonball Olympic and nonrevenue sports? How does it square with Title IX? Will it withstand legal challenges? Will it all fall apart? I have no idea! Neither does anyone else! Hold on to your helmets, everyone. We're all jumping off the diving board together. (I will now pause 90 seconds for you to climb the ladder and jump off the diving board with the rest of us.) The settlement of this class action—House vs. NCAA, in which current and former athletes sought name, image and likeness opportunities and a share of athletic department revenue—had been in the works for a while. On Friday, a federal judge signed off on the $2.6 billion settlement, which includes back pay to litigants but also creates a revenue-sharing system 'in which each Division I school will be able to distribute roughly $20 million a year to their athletes,' the Journal reported. That's right. Colleges can chop up $20 million and split it among their jocks. It will take some getting used to. Naturally, the revenue sharing is already provoking some to bemoan the demise of 'amateurism' and the college sports landscape. But schools have to be oblivious to not see who's to blame: They are! College sports did this to itself. The NCAA and its member schools set professionalization into motion with decades of arrogance and denial about the bountiful but warped economy they built around the games we love to watch. When college sports started chasing every dollar as a market-driven business—and frankly, there's a case that college sports has always been a business—paying athletes became inevitable. The bigger the money got, the harder the system was to defend. When college sports started indulging in the $10 million dollar coach, the billion-dollar television deal, the megabuck locker rooms and the assistant to the assistant strength coach making more than a surgeon, the hypocrisy was easy to see. Everyone was making a buck, except the talent on the field. It's why the Supreme Court more or less reacted to the NCAA's claims of amateur status with the following: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Public opinion shifted, too. A decade ago, I'd write about proposals to pay athletes and I could hear the jeering a mile away. Boooooooo! That's not what college sports are about, man! Eventually, those big-dollar media deals, private jets and Pop-Tart Bowls caught up with college sports. It was hard to argue there was anything amateurish about it anymore. Now schools will have to figure it out for themselves. I mean that literally: schools and conferences are navigating a new wilderness in which they are permitted to directly compensate athletes—but without a precedent or a clear road map. Yikes. We do know a few things: The bulk of those $20 million allotments are expected to go to high-revenue sports like football and men's basketball—that's where the money's coming from, after all. Other beneficiaries may be growing sports like women's basketball and softball. The settlement also attempts to inject some calm into the craziness around name, image and likeness. The revenue sharing payments will come from the schools, and third party NIL deals over $600 will be subject to review by 'NIL Go,' an oversight group overseen by Deloitte. The idea here is to put outside NIL deals under a microscope—find out what player deals are legitimate arrangements, and what are booster largesses masquerading as NIL. Good luck! Enforcement will be a headache. So will the invariable league challenges. Defenders of the settlement maintain it shouldn't be entangled with Title IX protections against gender discrimination. Already there are parties who want to argue. Also unknown is the impact on nonrevenue Olympic sports. Do schools start eliminating or rolling back certain sports because they're not big contributors to the bottom line? Possible! We'll see. The new setup isn't free of denial, either. While colleges are now entitled to pay athletes, the system still resists the idea that athletes are employees. Good luck with that, too. There will likely be challenges to the revenue sharing system—is the proportion of revenue (22 percent) given to athletes a fair amount, or should it be renegotiated? Is it tantamount to a salary cap? It's hard to not see this heading in the direction of classifying athletes as employees, and eventually, collective bargaining. If you're lying down on a couch right now with a bag of ice on your head, I understand. It's a lot. It's confusing. Imagine being an athletic director in 2025. No job has changed more. A new day is here. It might not be the apocalypse, but college sports will never be the same. Write to Jason Gay at
