Rory McIlroy's NSFW Reaction to PGA Championship's Big Decision
Rory McIlroy has never been able to hide his feelings, and Saturday at the PGA Championship was no exception.
The 5-time Major champion was originally scheduled to tee off for Round 3 at 8:25 a.m. EST alongside Xander Schauffele at Quail Hollow. However, the PGA Championship abruptly and significantly changed the schedule just as McIlroy was getting ready for his round.

The statement read, "Due to dangerous weather in the area, Round 3 starting times will be a split tee off of #1 & #10 tees in groups of 3 from 11:43 AM - 1:55 PM." The sudden schedule shift didn't sit well with the Northern Irish star. McIlroy was clearly upset and immediately started walking back. As he walked away, he turned back and was heard muttering a clear , '(Expletive) off,' in frustration.
The moment immediately went viral on social media, with many siding with the 2025 Masters Champion. However, it was later reported that McIlroy only suffered a delay of 15 minutes, which eventually hurt his warm up schedule. Rory McIlroy hasn't been performing his best at the Major as he survived missing the cut with a score of +2 after the second round.
The bad week started for the 36-year-old when USGA deemed McIlroy's TaylorMade Qi10 driver non-conforming ahead of the first round. Rory later had to change his driver. Nonetheless, the 5-time Major winner now enters the penultimate round of PGA Championship with high hopes of bouncing back. He has previously won the Major twice in 2012 and 2104.

New Report on Celtics Star's NBA Retirement Decision
New Report on Celtics Star's NBA Retirement Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics already had many questions about where they would go this offseason before Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles. While his significant injury certainly changes a lot going forward, there are still some decisions to make this offseason. Advertisement They want to get under the NBA's second tax apron, which means players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis may not be on the team next season. Both will be paid over $30 million next season, so if either or both are off the Celtics' payroll, that could help Boston accomplish that goal. Then there's Boston's free agents, who carry their own question marks. Boston Celtics center Al Horford (42) high-fives guard Jaylen Brown (7).Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images The Celtics have three players who will be unrestricted free agents this offseason: Al Horford, Luke Kornet, and Torrey Craig. There's no telling what the future holds for them. Horford's case is different because he is a free agent and, at 39 years old, could retire. That said, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported that Horford will return to the NBA next season. Advertisement "The general sense around the league and those close to Horford is that he'll continue to play next season," Scotto wrote. Whether that's with the Celtics is another question. Scotto also reported that teams are keeping their eye on Horford with Tatum out for most of next season, if not the entirety. "Predominantly, high-level playoff contenders are monitoring Horford to see if he'd leave Boston, with the Celtics expected to take a step back without Tatum next season and in a financial crunch regarding their salary books," Scotto wrote. Horford has left quite the legacy in Boston, but Tatum's injury puts their title chances into question next season. If he joins a healthier contender, that could give him the opportunity to win another title before he calls it quits.

Wizards Receive Unfortunate Marcus Smart Trade Report on Monday
Wizards Receive Unfortunate Marcus Smart Trade Report on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Wizards are among the worst teams in the NBA, and it may take them a while to become good again, pending any surprises. Even though that was the case this season, that didn't stop them from acquiring former Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart when they had the chance. Advertisement The Wizards acquired Smart primarily to acquire another asset when they agreed to take him off the Memphis Grizzlies' hands. As Washington focuses more on its rebuild, Smart may be on his fourth team in the last two years soon enough. The issue with Smart is that, ever since Boston traded him to Memphis two years ago, he has struggled to stay on the floor. Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams (12) and guard Kemba Walker (8) and center Tristan Thompson (13) and guard Marcus Smart (36) and forward Jayson Tatum (0)© Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images In the last two seasons, Smart has played a combined 54 games. That might be why trading him has been challenging for Washington. NBA insider Matt Moore reported on his Substack that the Wizards have had issues trying to trade Smart and may have to wait a while before getting a deal done. Advertisement "The Wizards would like to move Marcus Smart to a contender, but there's been little interest so far," Moore wrote. "He might be one of the guys moved in the latter days of free agency after teams strike out on other targets." Smart will be paid almost $21.6 million for the 2025-26 season, the last year of his current contract. Notably, the Celtics are trying to save money this offseason, which could lead to a reunion in Boston. The Wizards acquired Smart to get draft assets, so if the Celtics dangle that along with an expensive contract, Smart could be a Celtic again.
