Justin Thomas Takes Bad News Following Open
Justin Thomas Takes Bad News Following Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It hasn't been a standout golf season for Justin Thomas. The 32-year-old did grab his first win since 2022 back in April, taking down Andrew Novak at the RBC Heritage. Other than that, his year has been mostly average. In the four major tournaments, Thomas missed the cut twice. At the recent Open Championship, he made the cut but failed to finish inside the top 30. To make matters worse, Thomas has now slipped out of the top six in the FedEx Cup standings. He was sitting in sixth before the Open, but Harris English's strong runner-up finish vaulted him four spots up the rankings, pushing Thomas down to seventh. The entire Ryder Cup rankings can be found here: The top six players in the standings automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup. While there's still time for Thomas to climb back into that group, if he doesn't, his fate will be left to Team USA captain Keegan Bradley and his six captain's picks. Thomas was part of the 2023 Ryder Cup team that lost to Europe. He ranked 15th in points and 24th in the world heading into that event. It was his first Ryder Cup loss after victories in 2019 and 2021. In 2023, he went 1-2-1 and earned 1.5 points. Max Homa led the American side with 3.5 points. The top six players after the BMW Championship on August 17 will automatically qualify for Team USA. Scottie Scheffler has already secured a spot, with Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English currently rounding out the top six. Thomas has 10,208.09 points, trailing English, who sits at 10,385.65. Right behind Thomas is Collin Morikawa with 9,743.61 points. The next event on the 2025 PGA Tour is the 3M Open in Minnesota, running July 24–27. After that, the schedule includes the Wyndham Championship, FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship before the season wraps with the Tour Championship at East Lake. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Alexander Isak Wage Demands Revealed as Liverpool Retain £130m Transfer Hope
Liverpool's Watchful Eye on Alexander Isak Amid Newcastle Contract Turmoil Liverpool are keeping tabs on Alexander Isak as Newcastle United face increasing pressure over the striker's future. As reported by Anfield Index, Lewis Aspinall revealed that Isak is seeking a major pay rise to remain at St James' Park. 'Alexander Isak, after everything that has gone in the past few days and weeks, has said to Newcastle United that he wants a £300,000-per-week contract to stay at Newcastle,' Aspinall told Jack McIndoe. 'They can't go out and say that Alexander Isak is worth £150million and then expect him to be happy with his current contract.' This comment speaks volumes about the situation Newcastle find themselves in. They have publicly placed a marquee valuation on the Swedish striker but have not matched that figure with a suitable wage offer. It is the sort of tension that arises when a club with ambition tries to play in a financial league they have not yet earned the right to stay in comfortably. Liverpool's Calculated Interest Liverpool's interest in Isak is longstanding, and with Hugo Ekitike arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt for £69 million, it might appear that the Reds are done for this window. But sources close to the club suggest Isak remains firmly on their radar. Isak's pace, movement and clinical finishing make him an ideal fit for Arne Slot's attacking system. Slot, who won the Premier League in his debut campaign at Anfield, is now building a squad with Champions League glory in mind. The Dutchman is known to be a fan of versatile forwards who can lead the press and finish in tight spaces, two of Isak's strongest qualities. Jack McIndoe made a salient point: 'It just screams lack of experience at Newcastle United. If they value him at £150m or even higher, because he is a very good player, then they need to give him a new contract.' It is a logical view and one that suggests Isak may not be at Newcastle for much longer if this wage standoff continues. Financial Tensions in the North East Newcastle's dilemma goes deeper than just keeping Isak. As McIndoe noted, 'You'll find Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Lewis Hall, Tino Livramento will all want new deals.' The club's wage structure, previously modest in comparison to other top-six sides, will now come under serious pressure. 'If Newcastle want to play with the big boys, then they're going to have to start giving out those big contracts,' he added. This could force them into tough decisions, such as the kind Liverpool made when selling Philippe Coutinho. 'We sold Philippe Coutinho for huge money and brought in Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson Becker, who have now helped us win multiple league titles and a UEFA Champions League,' said McIndoe. Newcastle's balancing act will either fast-track their evolution into an elite side or result in departures that reset their progress. Either way, clubs like Liverpool will be watching closely. Final Thoughts Liverpool's pursuit of Alexander Isak is not purely opportunistic. It reflects an elite club's readiness to pounce when uncertainty arises. Arne Slot's side may yet strengthen further, and if Isak's wage dispute leads to a sale, the Reds could be poised to strike.

Allegra Stratton: Can the Lionesses Bring Starmer Luck?
As well as England's women's football team getting through to the finals of the Euros last night, Keir Starmer will also be very pleased to see Narendra Modi step off the plane tonight. This is government as anyone would like it. Alongside a beautiful goal in extra time to send the Lionesses through to the final (the government has announced their manager will get a damehood should they win), the sight of the Indian prime minister arriving tonight will also be a happy one for Starmer. If he chose to, he could squint and just focus on these two things for few days, and all would be well.
