Bryson DeChambeau Has Strong Words for Scottie Scheffler on Tuesday
Bryson DeChambeau Has Strong Words for Scottie Scheffler on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On the eve of the BMW Championship, Scottie Scheffler arrives off another top‑three finish, more prize money milestones and even a caddie shuffle that hasn't slowed him down. He tied for third at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday, pushing his official PGA Tour earnings over $20 million this season and will open the BMW having already clinched first in the FedEx Cup point standings over Rory McIlroy. On "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday, Bryson DeChambeau framed Scheffler's dominant form in two simple traits: spin and distance control. "He's got the best spin and distance control I've ever seen,' DeChambeau said, adding that 175 yards into a 10‑mph wind is a stock situation where Scheffler can land it "right next to the hole every time," likening Scheffler's precision to the best he's seen since Tiger Woods. Scottie Scheffler 2025 Form: Wins, Majors and Money Scheffler has four PGA Tour wins this season, including two majors: the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and The Open at Royal Portrush. He also won the CJ CUP Byron Nelson and the Memorial Tournament. He shot 65 on Saturday and finished T‑3 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, continuing a run of mistake‑light golf that's kept him in contention nearly every week. His tie for third on Sunday lifted him to $20,362,883 in official money for 2025, the most on Tour to date. He also secured an $8 million Comcast Business Tour Top 10 bonus and a $10 million FedEx Cup regular‑season No. 1 bonus under this season's playoff format changes. In his career, Scheffler owns four majors (2022 Masters; 2024 Masters; 2025 PGA; 2025 Open) and two PLAYERS Championships (2023, 2024), plus an Olympic gold medal last summer. Scheffler's 17 PGA Tour wins at just 29 years old demand attention as is, but the recent Woods comps are the best read on just how dominant he's been over the last year. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

After spring tryout, New York Giants add Chase Lane to scouting department
In an unusual move, the New York Giants have reportedly added Chase Lane, who participated in their rookie minicamp in May, to their scouting department. Lane, who saw action in all 13 games for Georgia Tech last season as a wide receiver, earned his bachelor's degree in communication/broadcast media from Texas A&M in December 2022. From Sports Illustrated: Lane finished his final two collegiate seasons at Georgia Tech but spent his undergraduate tenure as a Texas A&M Aggie. Lane was invited to the Giants rookie minicamp earlier this year as a tryout candidate. After not receiving an invitation to training camp from the Giants or any other team, Lane pivoted to a scouting role with the franchise, taking advantage of a chance to participate in the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship, which provides aspiring player personnel an avenue to learn from NFL front offices. While at Georgia Tech, Lane studied literature, media, and communication. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: After spring tryout, Giants add Chase Lane to scouting department
