Rory McIlroy Hints at More Changes to FedEx Cup Tour Championship Format
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 Tour Championship will tee off Thursday, with 30 of the best players in the world vying for the season-long title where Rory McIlroy seeks his fourth FedEx Cup title at East Lake. Scottie Scheffler is the favorite, fresh off his win at the BMW Championship. McIlroy is the second favorite, followed by Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley and Ludvig Aberg. The 2025 Tour Championship is taking on a new format. All players will start level, unlike recent years. Previously, the points leader would begin the tournament at 10-under, second place at 8-under, with each place after that starting one stroke further back until you reach even par. Fans and golfers alike voiced their displeasure with that system. But apparently, McIlroy was not among them. "I'm maybe part of the minority. I didn't hate the starting strokes," McIlroy told reporters Tuesday. "I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here. But the majority of people just didn't like the starting strokes. "I was on the PAC when we were trying to go through that, and really it was just a way to try to simplify the advantage that the top players were going to get over the course of the week instead of Steve Sands doing calculations on a white board," the Northern Irishman joked.

McIlroy clearly feels that format is not the fairest way to determine a season champion. But as a member of that PAC (Player Advisory Council), another format was brought to the forefront. "Look, there was a lot of other stuff on the table. Match play was on the table, and that got canned for this year. That might be brought back up in the conversation for next year or the year after," said McIlroy. It remains to be seen how long the new, current system will be used. But if someone who barely finished inside the top 30 after the BMW wins the FedEx Cup, leaving stars like Scheffler and McIlroy empty-handed, another change is not hard predict. Determining a season-long champion since the inception of the FedEx Cup has long been up for debate. But McIlroy is just going to roll with whatever comes. "I don't know if it's the best format, but it's the one that we have for this week." More Golf: PGA Tour 2026 Schedule Revealed With One Major Shake-Up

Jason McCourty recalls his roasting of Kansas City Chiefs fans at the 2023 NFL Draft
This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Super Bowl champion and CBS Sports NFL analyst Jason McCourty about his role as Pro Athlete Community (PAC) Board of Advisors Co-Chair, inviting fellow athletes and reflecting on his infamous roast of Kansas City Chiefs fans at the 2023 NFL Draft. "The cool thing about it is that everyone's brutally honest when you're in locker rooms and have guys you've played with. I will say, when guys have had the chance to experience it, they've wanted to pass it on to other guys. I think that's helped it a lot, because everyone who goes has such a transformational experience that you wish other guys to be a part of it, guys that you may know who are struggling, or guys who are thriving, that you feel it'll help them." Said McCourty, "About 30 former players were on a call, and Devin and I spoke about our experiences with PAC. As soon as we finished the Zoom call, I had two teammates text me, Hey, can you jump on the phone? Got on the phone with one of them. He first said to me, "Alright, Cut The B.S. Is this real? Is this worth it? I think when you can have those open and candid conversations, and he ended up going and he loved it, but I think that's been the cool part is that once guys take part in it, and you can have those conversations about what it is, you can tell people this is the real deal." McCourty was a guest on behalf of the Tennessee Titans during the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City. The former New England Patriots star taunted the crowd about his last visit, winning the 2018 AFC Championship. "I want the people of Kansas City to know it is all love. I have no beef. It is purely entertainment. It was so funny." Said McCourty, "The Titans had called me and asked me to do the draft pick, and at the time, I was on Good Morning Football, and Kyle Brandt had done the Buffalo Bills draft pick a year ago, and he had the chicken wing, he had the pants, and he had everything. It was an awesome announcement. I remember going in. I was leaving that afternoon after I finished Good Morning Football, and Kyle asked me, "So what will you do for the announcement?" And I'm like, say the name and get off the stage. And he's like, No, you gotta come up with something. The reason they're asking you is that you gotta be entertaining." "So my two-and-a-half-hour ride on a plane, that's all I did, was research, like, what I would say, how I would present it? I remember agreeing to go out. They've always said, You've seen guys go out there and take too long, and it's just like, Yo, the clock's ticking. Get off the stage." Said McCourty, "Roger Goodell says to me, 'Take your time and have fun'. I was like, Oh, that's all right, we're good. So, you've got to come up with some stingers, no matter who it is you're going with. I said something about McAfee. I think of that too. So my kids thought it was hilarious when they went on YouTube, and people were like Jason McCourty trolls. So it was a lot of fun." Pro Athlete Community (PAC), the first-of-its-kind network built exclusively for pro athletes to navigate life beyond sports, has officially opened its membership to all current and former professional athletes from verified leagues.

‘I won't sleep': Fort Lauderdale's Brian Entin will drop everything for a scoop
NewsNation senior correspondent Brian Entin was enjoying the Florida Panthers victory parade in his hometown of Fort Lauderdale a few Sundays ago. Suddenly, his phone rang. On the other end was his editor, Cherie Grzech. Question: Are you willing and able to fly to Qatar, like, now? He had just returned from covering the lawmaker shootings in Minnesota and reality star Todd Chrisley's release from a Pensacola prison, but Entin didn't hesitate. In the sweltering heat, surrounded by wall to wall screaming hockey fans, he began checking flights on his phone. By that evening, he was on a plane to Doha, roughly 8,000 miles away. Grzech called the right man for the job. 'You send Brian because his on the ground reporting is unmatched,' she told the Miami Herald. Entin, whose suitcase is half-packed at all times, has developed a wide following (some Redditors call him 'News Daddy') because of his willingness to go wherever, whenever for the sake of good journalism. 'I've had success because I'm willing to drop everything at the drop of a hat to pursue a good story,' said Entin. 'I stay places for extended periods and just wait it out. I'll sweat. I won't sleep. I'll watch a house all night if I think something's going to happen there. I'm crazy that way. I don't leave.' South Floridians may recall the intrepid reporter from his early days, first at NBC affiliate WPTV-TV in West Palm Beach, then at WSVN-7News, where he honed a very particular set of skills. Still pretty green, Entin soon had enormous shoes to fill, taking over for the late, great Carmel Cafiero who retired in 2016. The station's first female on-air reporter exposed corruption in South Florida for more than four decades. 'I knew it was a big responsibility to be her successor, so went really hard,' Entin said. 'I learned that Carmel was really into old-school surveillance and chasing people down with her microphone. I just kind of took that and ran with it.' There's a good chance his curiosity about crime came from tagging along at work with his father, criminal defense attorney Michael Entin. While other kids his age were playing Pac-Man at the arcade, Entin was attending trials and hanging around the Gold Coast Railroad Museum while dad saw clients at the nearby Federal Correctional Institution. 'Crime, drugs, jails. None of it ever freaked me out,' said Entin. 'I was exposed to a lot.' But neither law enforcement nor the legal profession was his jam; Entin preferred the more human, storytelling side. While attending the University School in Davie and editing the campus newspaper, the ambitious teen began contributing to the Sun Sentinel's community page, 'Next Generation,' which came out every Saturday. 'Your picture was printed along with your article, and you got paid,' he explained. 'It was a big deal. I was super into it.' Entin learned the trade by watching the pros, specifically '7News.' 'Forget Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt. Local anchors were my celebrities. I was obsessed,' Entin said, laughing. 'My bedroom was full of their autographed pictures. I'd make my mom drive me around to follow the news trucks!' Some of his idols, OGs like Lynn Martinez, Belkys Nerey, Patrick Fraser are still working there. So is Craig Stevens, a family friend who put in a good word or two to the brass to get him hired. 'Craig is the greatest, someone I grew up looking up to,' said Entin of his mentor. The feeling is mutual. 'He's just a first-rate guy, smart supremely talented and deserves all the success he is enjoying,' Stevens told the Miami Herald. 'He's a superb journalist and a fine human being, and it's been a pleasure growing our friendship.' After graduating with a BA from the University of Missouri, Entin got hired at a small station close to his alma mater, then cut his teeth at WTOC in Savannah, Ga., before returning home to South Florida in 2013. As for how it felt to get hired full time alongside the folks he once worshipped from his living room? One word: 'Insane.' While enjoying household-name status for a hot minute at '7News,' Entin really hit the big time after getting hired as senior correspondent at NewsNation in the summer of 2021. The breakthrough assignment: Covering the disappearance of van life influencer Gabby Petito from Northport, Fla. The missing blogger's fiancé-travel partner Brian Laundrie had been named a person of interest, and his family lived there. 'I remember thinking at first, 'This is nothing, she's going to be found.' It was very early on and not getting much attention,' Entin recalled. 'Little did I know how huge it would become.' After Laundrie returned the van solo to his parents' place, Entin locked in. He shrewdly paid neighbors about $100 a day to use their lawn, camping out in his car for up to 20 hours a day for six weeks straight. Because Entin was on site almost around the clock, he built relationships with key witnesses and snagged coveted interviews with police, feds, and even keyboard sleuths. The exclusives rolled in. Other established, mainstream outlets ended up aggregating Entin's stuff. 'I just decided I would live and breathe this thing, and do a stakeout like Carmel Cafiero did in her day,' he explained. 'I was in my car all the time, really embracing the 24-hour news cycle. I would start recording and posting over and over again. And people responded.' After Northport came the so-called Moscow Murders involving Brian Kohberger, who'd been accused of slaughtering four University of Idaho students in late 2022. Entin ended up again scooping other outlets as the first one on the scene when Kohberger was arrested at his family's home in Pennsylvania. Entin had initially blocked out his whole summer for the trial before the shocking plea deal came through. In July, Kohberger received four life sentences, plus 10 years. News doesn't take a break, much like Entin. Next dateline is New Orleans for a 20-year anniversary special on Hurricane Katrina, airing Aug. 24. In between desk duty filling in for colleagues Ashleigh Banfield and Chris Cuomo, the unexpected could always pop up. So be forewarned, if you see Entin in town, something pretty bad might have happened, and he'll be around to knock on doors and take names. 'I have several things planned, but that could all change with one phone call,' Entin said. 'I could end up literally anywhere... And I'll go!'
