LPGA returning to Mexico for first time in 8 years and doing so in historic fashion
The LPGA is back in action this week and holding its final event prior to next week's U.S. Women's Open Championship. While Erin Hills will be all the rage this week, what is happening right now is worth mentioning.
We will see the LPGA playing at the 2025 MEXICO Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba. This marks the LPGA's first trip to Mexico after eight years away and interestingly the event is the first and only that has the brand 'MEXICO' as the title sponsor.

Notables in the field will include past champions Sei Young Kim, Carlota Ciganda and Christina Kim. Charley Hull will also be in attendance. Clearly though the vent will be highlighted by the eight Mexican golfers in play:
Maria Balcazar
Maria Fassi
Isabella Fierro
Fernanda Lira
Gaby Lopez
Andrea Ostos
Carolina Rotzinger
Clarisa Temelo
Also in the field will be Sophia Popov who is coming off of an incredible Mother's Day win in Arizona on the Epson Tour.
Mayakoba may sound familiar if you are a golf fan as the World Wide Technology Championship was long held at El Camaleón where this event will take place. LIV golf also held events on site in both 2023 and 2024.
The tournament can be seen on Golf Channel on Thursday and Friday (10am-12pm CT) as well as Saturday (2-5pm CT). Thursday and Friday have action after those windows on NBC Digital while Sunday's final moments can be seen on CBS and Paramount+.

Texas Tech evens WCWS, sets up winner-take-all showdown vs Texas Longhorns softball Friday
Texas softball coach Mike White tried to win Game 2 of the Women's College World Series without having to use Longhorns ace pitcher Teagan Kavan. Or at least save her for a possible late save. Instead, Longhorns pitchers made key mistakes resulting in a Red Raiders win to even the final best-of-three series at 1-1. The bad omens may have started early for Texas. The game was delayed almost an hour by inclement weather. Advertisement Once the game started, UT pitchers Mac Morgan and Cambria Salmon managed to work out of several jams in the first four innings. But in the fifth, Tech loaded the bases against Salmon, who then hit Alana Johnson and then threw a wild pitch to give the Red Raiders a 2-0 lead. The Horns got one back in the top of the sixth on a Mia Scott home run to lead off the inning. UT pitcher Citlaly Gutierrez put two on in the bottom of the inning thanks to some sloppy fielding behind her. A Joley Mitchell throwing error put runners at second and third with one out. Smith turned to Kavan to hopefully stop the bleeding. Instead, a sacrifice fly to center and Mitchell's second error of the inning ballooned the Tech lead to 4-1. The Longhorns put together the beginnings of a rally in the top of the seventh, scoring two runs on a Leighann Goode double and a Katie Cimusz sac fly. But it was too little too late. Red Raiders ace NiJaree Canady struck out Kayden Henry to end the game. Advertisement Canady pitched her second complete game of the Championship series. In fact, Canady has thrown every pitch for the Red Raiders from the beginning of the Super Regionals on. Now there is just one decisive game for the national championship. Game 3 is a winner-take-all duel between aces Canady for Texas Tech and Kavan for Texas. First pitch will be Friday at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.
