FORT WORTH, Texas — Scottie Scheffler joined elite company by winning last week's PGA Championship, pushing himself into a group with Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players in the modern era to win 15 times (including three majors) before the age of 29. And although at the beginning of the 2025 season, after a freak accident around the holidays, Scheffler was in the top-5 just once in his first five tournaments. But he's posted four top-5 finishes since then, including a win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the major victory at Quail Hollow. But at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Scheffler is dangerously close to missing the cut, which would mark the first time in 55 starts that he hadn't reached the weekend. Scheffler, who leads the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings, finished his second round with 71. he bogeyed his last hole of the day, No. 9 since he started on the back, to fall to 1 over for the tournament. He posted a 68 on Thursday in the opening round. Scheffler is 1 over, and that's exactly the projected cut as of 2:15 p.m. The cut line for the event, held at Colonial Country Club, is the top 65 golfers and ties after 36 holes. Currently, Scheffler is in a tie for 49th, but the winds have subsided and scores could dip a little in the afternoon. Although he played fairly well, Scheffler did seem to wince after a tee shot on the second hole at Colonial.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler's form in recent weeks suggests that the only thing that can stop him from having a season similar to his last is injury. Alarm bells went off in the golf world on Friday about just that possibility. Scheffler was seen wincing in pain after his tee shot on the second hole at Colonial Country Club during the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. It was hole No. 11 of the day for him, as he started on the 10th tee. In the video shared on social media, the World No. 1 can be seen doing his footwork (the famous 'Scheffler Shuffle') in a much deeper way than usual when executing the shot while groaning. He then brings his hands to his waist and leans forward.

Mavericks honor emotional Luka Dončić with video tribute, Slovenian 'thank you' shirts for return with Lakers
The Dallas Mavericks are showing their appreciation for Luka Dončić in his return to the American Airlines Center on Wednesday. After starring with the franchise for six-and-a-half seasons, Dončić was shipped to the Los Angeles Lakers in a shocking February trade. The Mavericks are hoping to erase any bad blood from that trade by paying tribute to Dončić before he took the court Wednesday. The team put together a pregame video of Dončić's seven years in Dallas, including highlights and off-court moments from his time there. Dončić was visibly emotional during the tribute, wiping away tears before being announced as part of the Lakers' starting lineup. ALL THE FEELS FOR LUKA'S RETURN TO DALLAS ❤️ The Mavs honored Luka with a tribute video before he took the court with the Lakers 👏 — ESPN (@espn) April 9, 2025 Prior to the contest, the team laid out shirts featuring the Slovenian phrase "Hvala za vse" on each seat in the arena. The phrase roughly translates to "thank you so much" or "thank you for everything." Translation on T-shirts at American Airlines Center: Thank you so much — Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) April 9, 2025 The franchise should be thankful for Dončić's contributions. After being acquired by the Mavericks during the 2018 NBA Draft, Dončić excelled immediately, winning the NBA Rookie of the Year award in his first season. He got even better from there. Over the next five seasons, Dončić made the All-Star team and was named first-team All-NBA each year. He posted three top-five MVP finishes over that period, and never finished lower than eighth in the voting. The Mavericks made four playoff appearances with Dončić, getting all the way to the NBA Finals last season. Despite Dončić averaging 29.2 points per game in the Finals, the team fell to the Boston Celtics in five games. Dončić was once again having a typically good season but was out with a calf injury when he was traded. The deal sparked outrage among Mavericks fans, who showed up in force to protest the move. Shortly after the trade, Dončić thanked the fans for their support. Given those reactions, it's not a surprise that Dončić received a raucous ovation when he took the court Wednesday. While Dončić will likely show appreciation to the fans, that probably won't stop him from showing out against the franchise that shipped him away.

Ex-ESPN star Keith Olbermann blasts Pat McAfee over Canada remarks, calls on network to fire him
Former ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann slammed Pat McAfee and called on the company to fire him on Monday following the WWE commentator's remarks about Canada. McAfee called Canada a "terrible country" after wrestling fans in Canada booed "The Star-Spangled Banner" performance ahead of the Elimination Chamber premium live event over the weekend. He sounded off about the backlash he received during his episode of "The Pat McAfee Show." "A lot of us tried to warn the new espn management that the day would come when this idiot would draw them into a permanent political controversy and they could either be subsumed by it, or fire him," Olbermann said in response to McAfee's Monday remarks. "That day is today. Fire him." McAfee dug in during his show. "Now, Canada, listen, there's been some things said to me from Canadians that I guess I respect because of the passion that you have for your country — which I hope you understand that I was showing the same for mine," McAfee explained on the show. "You booed my country." "I understand, now, from the Canadians that they have a lot more passion for their country than I could have imagined. A lot of terrible things have been said about me, and I understand it," McAfee continued. "I didn't say Canadians were terrible. I said your country was. You booed us. I said you were terrible. Let's shake hands and move along. I still love Canadians… I hope it gets settled." Boos from Canadian fans during the U.S. national anthem began amid President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. The president paused them in February but had it start this week. The boos continued during the 4 Nations Face-Off, leading to a fight between American and Canadian NHL players in Montreal.
