These LIV golfers are entered in final qualifying for the 2025 Open Championship
It'll be a family affair for the Poulters next week when it comes to the Open Qualifying Series. Ian Poulter and his son Luke, a rising junior at the University of Florida, are registered to compete in the Royal Cinque Ports final qualifying site for the 2025 Open Championship, set for July 17-20 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The R&A announced the fields for four final qualifying, and there are plenty notables trying to play their way into the field for a chance to hoist the Claret Jug. Five spots are available from each of the four qualifying sites, which will be contested over 36 holes on Tuesday, July 1. Among those attempting to qualify are numerous LIV Golf players, like Ian Poulter. Joining him at the Royal Cinque Ports site will be David Puig, Luis Masaveu, Graeme McDowell, Dean Burmester and Peter Uihlein. At Burnham & Berrow, Jinichiro Kozuma, Caleb Surratt, Anirban Lahiri, Abraham Ancer and Paul Casey will tee it up. At Dundonald Links, Lee Westwood, Adrian Meronk and Branden Grace will try to qualify. At the final qualifying site, West Lancashire, Sam Hornsfield, Lucas Herbert, Andy Ogletree and Harold Varner II are in the field hoping to qualify. All in all, there are 18 LIV Golf players attempting to go through final qualifying. Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Jason Kokrak, Tom McKibbin, Phil Mickelson, Joaquin Niemann, Louis Oosthuizen, Carlos Ortiz, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed, Cameron Smith and Henrik Stenson are the 14 LIV players already in the field at Royal Portrush. John Catlin is also in the field, though he has played in only three LIV events in 2025. There were 12 LIV players who competed in the Masters, 15 in the PGA Championship and 14 in the U.S. Open this year. LIV Golf competes this week in its ninth event of 2025 at Maridoe in Dallas and will play at Valderrama the week before the Open Championship.

Juventus vs. Manchester City odds, predictions: FIFA Club World Cup picks, best bets Thursday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Juventus and Manchester City are both through to the Round of 16 at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but the two European powers will meet Thursday afternoon to decide which team goes into the knockout stage as the winner of Group G. In all likelihood, the team that finishes second in Group G will play Real Madrid in the next round, while the team that tops the group will play either Red Bull Salzburg or Al-Hilal. Avoiding Real Madrid should be incentive enough for both City and Juve to play their best starting XI on Thursday in Orlando. It's tough to say we've learned anything new about Manchester City or Juventus in this tournament. Group G was straightforward, with Wydad AC from Morocco and Al-Ain from the UAE serving as nothing more than cannon fodder for the favorites. City defeated Wydad, 2-0, before dispatching Al-Ain, 6-0. Juventus beat Al-Ain, 5-0, and Wydad, 4-1. Stylistically, this is a battle between an unstoppable force and an immovable object. Kenan Yildiz of Juventus celebrates a goal. AFP via Getty Images Juventus vs. Manchester City pick Juventus was one of the best defensive sides in all of Europe in 2024-25, while City put up terrific offensive numbers. The Cityzens did struggle defensively, which is uncharacteristic for a Pep Guardiola side. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps It does seem like Guardiola's goal this summer is to clean things up in their own half, so don't be surprised if we see a more measured approach from the Sky Blues than usual. That will be perfectly fine with Juventus, a team that prefers to play low-event soccer.
