Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On one side of the golf world, Rory McIlroy is chasing his 2nd title at the Genesis Scottish Open. Whereas across the Atlantic, the atmosphere couldn't be more different at the annual American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. With stars like Stephen Curry, Aaron Rodgers, Charles Barkley, Josh Allen, and Travis Kelce lighting up the Edgewood Tahoe GC, the weekend has been anything but quiet. Amid all this, Kelce unfortunately made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Saturday. The incident unfolded mid-round when the NFL superstar, playing alongside his brother Jason Kelce and Baker Mayfield, launched an errant shot that struck a male spectator. Thankfully, unlike last year, no one's been bloodied this time around. The fan, luckily a Kelce supporter, managed to laugh off the incident, especially after the 35-year-old star offered a heartfelt apology, signed an autograph, and posed for a photo to smooth things over.

Saturday's situation got resolved swiftly, but as many NFL analysts and fans know, this wasn't Travis Kelce's first brush with golf course chaos. His unpredictable swings at the celebrity tournament led to a haunting situation back in 2024, when Kelce accidentally struck a fan (Kate Hauss) in the head. It was so extreme that Hauss was later diagnosed with a concussion and required stitches. Travis Kelce's play at American Century Championship The 35-year-old pro was dressed in a pink polo from Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red collection, and had a Saturday round full of drama. Paired with Mayfield and Jason, the trio turned the fairways into a frat party as they shotgunned beers and danced to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off." There were also rumors swirling that Taylor Swift might attend, but she was nowhere to be seen. But her absence didn't stop fans from chanting her name or blasting her music across the course. And how can one forget that basketball shot? Kelce finished the round tied for 62nd place, while Jason landed at 83rd out of 90 players.

Rory McIlroy followed with $84 million, boosted by his Masters victory. Tiger Woods, despite limited play due to injury, earned $55 million — mostly from off-course deals, including his involvement with Sun Day Red and Tomorrow's Golf League.

Tiger Woods' golf apparel line, Sun Day Red, has expanded to select green grass shops – both high-end private clubs and premier resort destinations – in a move that brings greater visibility and a broader presence to the brand after relying almost exclusively on a direct-to-consumer approach for more than a year. Starting today, the premium athluxury brand will feature a curated collection of polo shirts, cashmere layers and outerwear at hundreds of on-course golf shops at prestigious courses nationwide. The green grass rollout is an extension of Sun Day Red's plan to connect with golfers where they play and experience the game. "These aren't just any golf courses. Many of these places hold deep meaning for me,' said Woods. 'Some are where I've won tournaments that shaped my career, others are courses I've had the privilege to design, venues where I've competed in majors, and clubs where I'm honored to be a member. It feels right to have Sun Day Red available at these special places where the game is played." Woods, a 15-time major champion, in 2024 announced a partnership with TaylorMade to create a new collection of performance apparel, accessories and footwear. The launch of Sun Day Red came after Woods spent 27 years with Nike, helping it grow into one of the most successful apparel brands in the golf space. Sun Day Red has expanded beyond the direct-to-consumer approach it employed in its first year in ... More order to better connect with golfers where they play. The initial Sun Day Red line was released in May 2024, and the company introduced an expanded range of polos, knitwear, and curated accessories this year. Woods has provided input on design and features, as well as significant feedback on aspects of the polos such as weight, collar stays, buttons, water absorbency, and fit. Along with growing its reach with the on-course expansion, Sun Day Red is seeking to create touchpoints where golfers can touch, feel and experience the brand's design, style, and innovation in person. Sun Day Red's golf shoes will soon be available in big box retailers like PGA Tour Superstore.

"We've intentionally maintained our direct-to-consumer approach to ensure we could deliver the premium experience our customers deserve. Now we're ready to bring that same level of meticulousness to carefully selected partners who share our commitment to the game and understand the golfer we serve." In addition, the brand's Pioneer Cypress and Magnolia footwear will launch July 22 at top golf retailers and sporting goods stores, among them PGA TOUR Superstore, Worldwide Golf Shops, Carl's Golfland and Scheels.

Michael Jordan Trolls Giants Legend Lawrence Taylor on Golf Course
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Golf has long been the go-to playground for big names, where often legends like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and Steph Curry trade stadium lights for fairways and friendly banter. But sometimes, those actions on the greens become the stage for unforgettable moments. That's exactly what happened this week when NBA icon Michael Jordan rolled up on NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and turned a casual reunion into a viral comedy sketch.

(Image collage | Getty Images) Getty Images The encounter took place during a casual round at Jordan's exclusive club, Grove XXIII, on Thursday. Jordan, dressed in Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red, pulled up in his cart and greeted Taylor with a warm hug. "How you doin'?" Jordan asked. "Alright," Taylor replied. "Just hangin' in there." The two North Carolina legends shared a quick embrace before Jordan turned to greet the rest of the group. But just as he was about to drive off, he spotted Taylor's footwear, black slip-on shoes with black socks, and couldn't resist. "Man, you really doing motherf***ing relaxing on my golf course!" Jordan quipped, pointing at Taylor's shoes. The entire group, including Taylor, burst into laughter as Jordan sped off in his cart. Taylor, never one to back down, fired back with a grin, joking about Jordan's retirement leisurewear. "Seriously, you so relaxed like a motherf*****," Taylor joked. The moment, caught on video, quickly went viral across social media platforms, with fans loving the rare glimpse of two GOATs trading jabs. This is awesome: Michael Jordan pulled up on Lawrence Taylor while playing golf and immiedialy started talking sh*t. Just two GOATs having fun 😂🐐 — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) June 27, 2025 Jordan's golf course antics are nothing new. From betting on 50-foot putts to trash-talking Charles Barkley mid-round, his airness has built a second legacy on the links. "I kind of got into golf mainly because, from a competitive standpoint, to me, it is the hardest game to play," he once said. "For a competitive person like me, this is what keeps me sane." Talking about the bond between Jordan and Taylor, it runs deep. As Taylor was preparing to leave UNC for the NFL in 1981, Jordan was just arriving on campus to begin his basketball journey. "We played a lot of pickup, hung out a lot," Taylor told the New York Post in 2020. "He's probably the most competitive person I know. He'll bet on a 50-foot putt and make it nine times out of ten."

Tiger Woods, 49, is Nearly Unrecognizable in Latest Public Appearance
Tiger Woods, 49, is Nearly Unrecognizable in Latest Public Appearance originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At one point, Tiger Woods was the most dominant player in all of golf. He held onto the world No. 1 ranking for a Guinness World Record, 683 weeks total. Although the days of him seemingly winning every tournament he plays in are over, fans have been deprived of seeing him play as of late. Advertisement Woods hasn't played in a PGA Tour event since missing the cut at The Open in July of 2024, and the closest thing to seeing him return was when he played in the TGL earlier this year, which is the indoor golf league he and Rory McIlroy helped create. While fans are more used to Woods being the main event whenever he sets foot on a course, he is now in dad mode. He was spotted earlier this month at the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier in Coral Springs, Florida as he watched his 16-year-old son, Charlie, qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur. Earlier this week, the 15-time Major Champion was in attendance of the 41st annual Nicklaus Junior Championship, watching his son again. While Woods is frequently featured in Instagram ads for Golf the Patch, TaylorMade or his brand Sun Day Red, fans haven't seen him out in public as often. Fans took notice of Woods' legs, with many expressing that they looked scrawny. Advertisement "Sad to see, Tiger has chicken legs," wrote a third. "His lower body looks 90 years old," claimed another. "No his leg it totally (expletive).. I mean, look at it," commented another. "Bro both of his legs look like twigs compared to the rest of his body. Don't think he'll be able to fully come back anymore to playing PGA Tour events and contending," added another. Tiger Woods watches his son Charlie Woods compete in the 41st Nicklaus Junior LOVETT/PALM BEACH POST / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images While fans may be surprised, Woods has been dealing with numerous medical setbacks. Woods announced in March that he ruptured his left Achilles, which appears to have some sort of tape on it on Thursday. The 49-year-old also had his sixth back surgery in 2024. Not to mention, he almost had to amputate his right leg after a car crash in 2021. Advertisement So, while fans frequently picture the Woods of old, he is far past the point in his life.
