LIV Golf star Phil Mickelson nails incredible shot during tournament
Phil Mickelson showed the golf world he still has it during a LIV Golf tournament on Sunday.
Mickelson was on the 17th hole at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia on Sunday when he was attempting a shot from the rough. He stood in the bunker and swung his club, trying to hit it over himself to get onto the green – at the very least.
The ball traveled onto the green and kept rolling until it dropped into the cup.
"That is unbelievable," the broadcaster said as Mickelson raised his arms in delight.
It was one of the best shots of the 2025 season in LIV Golf. Mickelson was 12-under par and in seventh when he nailed the shot. He finished 13-under for the tournament and tied for fourth place with Thomas Pieters, Bryson DeChambeau and Bubba Watson.
HyFlyers GC, the team Mickelson is the captain of, finished in eighth place as Andy Ogletree, Brendan Steele and Cameron Tringale finished well below Mickelson.
Joaquin Niemann won the tournament, finishing 15-under par. Graeme McDowell and Anirban Lahiri were tied for second, shooting 14-under.
Niemann has four wins on the season and left Virginia with a firm lead for the championship. DeChambeau is right behind him. Jon Rahm, Sergio Garcia and Lucas Herbert round out the top five.
Mickelson is in 11th in the standings even as he missed the first tournament of the season. He finished third at Hong Kong and sixth in Miami to go along with his finish in Virginia.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland has toe surgery, out 4-5 months
Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had surgery Monday on the injured left big toe that hampered him during Cleveland's exit from the playoffs. The Cavaliers said the procedure was performed by Dr. Nicholas Strasser at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in consultation with team physician Dr. James Rosneck and Dr. Bob Anderson. The All-Star guard missed the final two games of the regular season and four games during the playoffs with the injury, which was described as a sprain. "Definitely wasn't myself. It was pretty uncomfortable but trying to do everything to win the game. It was frustrating because I wasn't 100 percent," Garland said after the Cavaliers lost to the Indiana Pacers in five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Garland is expected to spend 4 to 5 months going through a progression of treatment and rehabilitation before resuming basketball activities by the start of training camp. Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists during the regular season to help the Cavs finish atop the Eastern Conference. In just five playoff games, he dropped to 18 points and 5.2 assists per game, and while Cleveland won the two games against the Miami Heat that Garland sat out due to his toe, he also missed two of the four games that the Cavs dropped to the Pacers in the conference semifinals.

The late Jim Irsay's 3 daughters take charge of Colts under his transition plan
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are moving forward with the late Jim Irsay's transition plan for ownership, which calls for his three daughters to take charge of the club. The team said Monday that Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson each would continue to hold the title of owner, which they have done since 2012 when they were named vice chairs. Irsay-Gordon is now CEO, and Foyt is executive vice president. Jackson will be chief brand officer. Irsay died last month at age 65. He had long battled issues of health and addiction and had been far less visible following a fall at his home in December. All three of the sisters grew up around the Colts, just as their father did before taking over as owner following the death of his father, Robert Irsay, in 1997. Irsay-Gordon has represented the Colts at various NFL meetings since 2004, three years before Foyt joined the front office. Foyt had previously worked for the NFL in London. Jackson has been leading the family's initiative to raise awareness of mental health. ___ AP NFL:

Pro Bowl punter Logan Cooke signs a 4-year contract extension with the Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Pro Bowl punter Logan Cooke has signed a four-year contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cooke, a second-team All-Pro selection in 2024, was entering the final year of his second deal with the team. It had been unclear how Jacksonville's new regime would handle Cooke's contract situation. Jacksonville, which drafted Cooke in the seventh round in 2018, announced the extension Monday.
