NFL NEWS
NFL TEAMS OPEN TRAINING CAMP, STARTING THE LONG JOURNEY TO SUPER BOWL 60 IN SAN FRANCISCO
The Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions already have kicked off training camp. Rookies for several other teams have also reported. All veterans across the league are due this week.
The NFL season is underway. The road to San Francisco for Super Bowl 60 begins in the grueling summer heat.
Some teams have new coaches. A couple of old coaches have new teams. Star players have switched uniforms. There are position battles to determine.
And, plenty of storylines to watch.
Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles aim for a repeat. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs look to rebound after being denied the first three-peat in Super Bowl history.
Training camp dates
The Chargers and Lions were the first teams to have their full roster in camp. The Cowboys and Chiefs will have theirs on Monday. The rest of the league starts Tuesday. The Falcons and Steelers arrive Wednesday.
Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers face off against Dan Campbell’s Lions in the Hall of Fame game on July 31 in Canton, Ohio.
A pair of division rivalry games will open the season. The Eagles will host Dallas to begin the regular season on Sept. 4. The Chiefs and Chargers meet in Brazil the following night.
New head coaches
Pete Carroll is back in the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders after just one year out of coaching. Carroll, who turns 74 in September, has a tough task building the Raiders into a playoff contender in a difficult division.
Former Patriots star linebacker Mike Vrabel takes over in New England, replacing Jerod Mayo, who lasted one season after replacing Bill Belichick.
The Bears turned to former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The Jets hired former Lions DC Aaron Glenn. Kellen Moore left Philadelphia after one championship season to take over in New Orleans. Liam Cohen’s success as Tampa Bay’s OC landed him the head job in Jacksonville. Jerry Jones gave Brian Schottenheimer a chance to lead Dallas.
Teams with new quarterbacks
The Steelers are going all-in on Aaron Rodgers, hoping the 41-year-old, four-time MVP can take them to the big game.
The Raiders acquired Geno Smith, reuniting Carroll with the quarterback he chose to replace Russell Wilson in Seattle.
Sam Darnold ended up with the Seahawks after a career-year in Minnesota.
Joe Flacco is back in Cleveland where he was the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2023. The Browns also traded for Kenny Pickett and drafted Dillon Gabriel in the third round and Shedeur Sanders in the fifth.
Wilson and Jameis Winston ended up in New York, but the Giants also selected Jaxson Dart in the first round.
Justin Fields has a third chance with the Jets.
J.J. McCarthy is the man in Minnesota after he missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury.
Saints rookie Tyler Slough gets an opportunity to replace Derek Carr, who retired.
The Titans have No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward.
Top camp storylines
Some contract issues still need to be resolved.
The Bengals have yet to sign first-round pick Shemar Stewart and they haven’t agreed to a new deal with All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, who wants a raise after leading the league in sacks last season.
The dispute with Stewart, a pass rusher the defense needs, isn’t about money; it’s about the team trying to insert language in Stewart’s contract that would trigger the voiding of his salary guarantees with a breach or default by him.
Another contract situation to watch involves Dallas. Micah Parsons is due for a new deal that’s expected to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. T.J. Watt currently holds that distinction after Pittsburgh gave him a $123 million extension worth an average of $41 million per season. Jones waited too long on Dak Prescott and ended up making him the NFL’s first $60 million man last season. Now, he’s going to end up paying Parsons more than anyone else who doesn’t play QB.
Quarterback competition
The Browns have to choose between Flacco, Pickett, Sanders and Gabriel. Veteran Daniel Jones is competing with Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis. Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in 2023, has been injured often and has a lingering shoulder problem.
Shough and Spencer Rattler are battling in New Orleans.
Wilson, Winston and Dart should make it a tough decision for the Giants.
Ward has to beat out Will Levis in Tennessee.
Joint practices
With more teams opting to rest quarterbacks and key starters in preseason games, joint practices have become the way to prepare players for the regular season. A total of 29 teams have scheduled joint practices with other clubs.
On the road
Six teams – the Bills, Cowboys, Colts, Chiefs, Rams and Steelers – will spend their entire camp away from their facilities. Dallas, which trains in Oxnard, California, is the only team going out of state.
Roster cuts
Teams can carry a maximum of 90 players throughout training camp and for all of their preseason games. Rosters must be trimmed to 53 by 4 p.m. EDT on Aug. 26.
CHIEFS AND DEFENSIVE END GEORGE KARLAFTIS AGREE TO 4-YEAR, $93M CONTRACT, AP SOURCE SAYS
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs and defensive end George Karlaftis agreed to a four-year, $93 million contract that includes $62 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday, keeping one of the best young players on the roster through the 2030 season.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, which was agreed to the same day that the players reported to training camp at Missouri Western State University, is still pending a physical.
“He’s a heck of a player and he’s done a great job here, and he’s profiting from that,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “And our team has profited from him being around. So it’s a win-win.”
It is the second high-profile contract that Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has finished in the past week. The Chiefs signed Pro Bowl right guard Trey Smith to a four-year, $94 million extension on Tuesday, setting the market for his position.
Karlaftis, the second of two first-round picks by the Chiefs in the 2022 draft, has started 44 of his 49 regular-season games for them. His best season came two years ago, when he had 10 1/2 sacks while starting every game, while he had eight sacks in 16 games last season, helping the Chiefs to reach a third consecutive Super Bowl.
Karlaftis has rings from the first two of them. The Chiefs lost to the Eagles in their latest Super Bowl in February.
“I mean, he’s always been a consistent player. Always a relentless player,” Reid said. “You know what you’re going to get with George. He’s smart. Relentless. You can trust him. You can trust that he’s going to be there and do the right things.”
Karlaftis is the first of a heralded 2022 draft class in Kansas City to sign a new contract, though he’s not expected to be the last.
The Chiefs are interested in signing their initial first-round pick that year, Trent McDuffie, to a long-term deal. The cornerback was a first-team All-Pro two years ago and a second-team pick last year, and he has emerged as not only one of the premier slot defenders in the NFL but a versatile, capable defensive back who can player just about anywhere on the team.
What could complicate the negotiations is the fact that the Jets recently signed cornerback Sauce Gardner to a record-setting four-year, $120.4 million extension. McDuffie is likely to demand a contract that meets or potentially exceeds that deal.
“The tough job is to juggle all that, the financial part of it,” Reid said, “but we love having that. Continuity is a big thing with your young players. Veach has done a real nice job with his group in the drafts, so you sort all of that out.”
DESMOND RIDDER RETURNS TO CINCINNATI, SIGNS WITH BENGALS TO BATTLE FOR BACKUP QB SPOT
CINCINNATI (AP) — Quarterback Desmond Ridder, who led the University of Cincinnati to a College Football Playoff spot in 2021, signed with the Bengals on Sunday.
Ridder is entering his fourth season and gives the Bengals another veteran backup behind Joe Burrow. Ridder has played in 25 games and made 18 starts in previous stops with Atlanta and Las Vegas. He has passed for 4,002 yards in his career with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also has rushed for five scores.
Jake Browning has been the Bengals’ number two quarterback the past two seasons and has played in 12 games, including seven starts in 2023 after Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury.
Logan Woodside was waived to make room for Ridder.
Cincinnati also announced the signings of defensive tackles McTelvin Agim and Taven Bryan, along with center Andrew Raym.
The defensive line signings are likely to provide depth after first-round pick Shemar Stewart did not report with the rest of the rookies on Saturday, and Trey Hendrickson, last year’s NFL sack leader, expected to hold out as he seeks a new contract.
Veterans report on Tuesday, with the first practice scheduled for Wednesday.
SEAHAWKS RELEASE TIGHT END NOAH FANT AHEAD OF START OF TRAINING CAMP
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks released tight end Noah Fant on Sunday ahead of the start of training camp.
The 27-year-old Fant spent the past three seasons with the Seahawks after being acquired in the 2022 blockbuster trade that sent quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver. Across his Seattle tenure, Fant racked up 130 receptions for 1,400 yards and five touchdowns.
Fant was entering the final season of a two-year contract, and was due a non-guaranteed salary of $8.49 million this year. The Seahawks will save $8.91 million against the salary cap with the move.
In parting ways with Fant, who was a 2019 first-round pick of the Broncos, the Seahawks’ stable of young tight ends figure to be featured much more prominently in 2025. There’s second-year tight end AJ Barner, who caught 30 passes for 245 yards last season, as well as rookie Elijah Arroyo, who the Seahawks selected in the second round this year,
Eight-year NFL veteran Eric Saubert also will be in training camp after signing a one-year deal with the Seahawks. Undrafted rookie tight ends Marshall Lang and Nick Kallerup will be on the scene as well.
LIONS STANDOUT LT TAYLOR DECKER DEALING WITH SHOULDER ISSUE
Detroit Lions Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Decker is recovering from shoulder surgery, coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Sunday.
Campbell expects Decker, 31, to be on the field in early August. The Lions open the preseason against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game on July 31 in Canton, Ohio.
“We feel like there’s a good chance we can get (Decker) back after the Hall of Fame Game,” Campbell said. “He’s good. Just cleaned up his shoulder a little bit and we’re going to work him back in when he’s ready to go. He’s in a good place.”
The Lions placed Decker on the active/physically unable to perform list on Thursday but didn’t divulge a reason for the move.
Decker has started all 126 games played for the team since joining the franchise in 2016.
He played in 14 regular-season games and the playoff loss to the Washington Commanders last season while receiving his first Pro Bowl nod.
LIONS DL LEVI ONWUZURIKE TO MISS 2025 NFL SEASON DUE TO ACL INJURY
The Lions just got a bite from the injury bug with training camp underway.
Detroit defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike will miss the 2025 NFL season due to having surgery on his ACL, head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Sunday.
“Let me start with Levi. Levi is out for the year,” Campbell said. “Levi’s surgery it was significant, but it needed to be done. Out of his control and it needed to be done so he will miss the season.”
Onwuzurike, 27, appeared in 16 games for the Lions in 2024 as he recorded 13 QB hits, 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one tackle for loss. Onwuzurike ranked top 15 in pressures and pass-rush win rate among interior defensive linemen last season with a minimum of 125 pass-rush attempts, per Pro Football Focus.
On Thursday, the Lions placed Onwuzurike on the reserve/physical unable to perform list. A few days later, Campbell ruled out the veteran DT for the rest of the ’25 season.
The loss of Onwuzurike is a major blow for a defense that is expected to have Aidan Hutchinson back after the star pass rusher suffered a season-ending broken fibula and tibia in October. Veteran Alim McNeill, who is recovering from a torn ACL, is currently on the active/PUP list.
Campbell also said offensive tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) is expected to be back with the team after the Hall of Fame Game (July 31) against the Los Angeles Chargers.
With the loss of Onwuzurike, Detroit will lean on first-round pick Tyleik Williams, sixth-round selection Ahmed Hassanein, Brodric Martin, D.J. Reader and others to fill in.
2025 NFL ALL-BREAKOUT TEAM, DEFENSE: PACKERS BOAST 2 SELECTIONS IN LUKAS VAN NESS AND EDGERRIN COOPER
NFL.COM (https://www.nfl.com/)
Former NFL player and scout Bucky Brooks knows the ins and outs of this league, providing keen insight in his notebook. In today’s installment, he spotlights 11 youngsters set to ascend in 2025.
Last week in this space, I identified 11 offensive players poised to make serious noise in the 2025 NFL season. Now it’s time to hit the other side of the ball.
Here are 11 defenders to keep an eye on in the coming campaign.
DE LUKAS VAN NESS, GREEN BAY
After slowly acclimating to the NFL as a rotational player for a talented defense, Van Ness should be ready to make his mark as a pass-rushing specialist off the edge. The 2023 first-round pick has produced seven sacks over two seasons, but more opportunities should yield better results from the Iowa product. Whether he is attacking from the edges as a full-time starter or creating chaos as a designated playmaker in a sub-package, Van Ness possesses the size, tools and experience to turn his flashes into disruptive production this fall.
DE LAIATU LATU, INDIANAPOLIS
The most natural pass rusher in the 2024 draft class teased the football world with a four-sack rookie campaign that showcased the first-step quickness, violent hands and closing burst that made him the first defensive player selected two Aprils ago. Latu’s impact in a rotational role should prompt new Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo to create a plan to unleash the 6-foot-5, 265-pound playmaker. With more stunts, games and isolations designed to exploit favorable matchups on the edges, Latu can post impressive numbers as a second-year pro with a polished game.
DL DARIUS ROBINSON, ARIZONA
Despite an injury-riddled rookie year that limited Robinson to six games, there is a lot to like about the versatile defensive lineman’s potential impact as a second-year pro. The 6-5, 285-pounder flashed “wrecking ball” potential while finding his way in fewer than 200 snaps as a rookie. With better health in Year 2, he should see his production spike while playing alongside a collection of veterans (guys like Josh Sweat, Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell) who command attention at the line of scrimmage.
DT JER’ZHAN NEWTON, WASHINGTON
The heavy-handed defensive tackle exhibited disruptive skills at the point of attack during his rookie campaign. Newton’s powerful hands and non-stop motor helped him amass 44 tackles (six for loss), seven QB hits and a pair of sacks in 16 games, including 11 starts. Given more responsibility and freedom within the scheme, the second-year pro could become Dan Quinn’s designated playmaker on the defensive front, given his unique talents as a power player in the trenches.
LB EDGERRIN COOPER, GREEN BAY
There is always a place in the league for linebackers who specialize in the “hit, run and cover” aspects of the game. Cooper is a rare find as a downhill ‘backer with the speed, quickness and agility to match tight ends and running backs in space, while possessing the power, pop and wiggle to wreak havoc on blitzes. Despite logging just four starts in 14 total games last season, Cooper stuffed the stat sheet with 87 tackles (13 for loss), 3.5 sacks and four turnover plays (one interception, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries), earning a spot on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team. The second-year pro could be in line for more accolades as a designated playmaker in Jeff Hafley’s “see ball, get ball” defense.
LB TYRICE KNIGHT, SEATTLE
The unheralded fourth-round pick out of UTEP quietly made his mark as a rookie with 88 tackles (three for loss), 1.5 sacks and four QB hits in 16 games. Knight quickly outplayed his draft pedigree (No. 118 overall), emerging as a disruptive defender on the second level. With Mike Macdonald poised to tap into the second-year pro’s skills as a sideline-to-sideline pursuer, the Seahawks might have found another defensive gem to build around.
CB TERRION ARNOLD, DETROIT
Assuming newly promoted defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard plans to continue the man-heavy approach of his mentor, Aaron Glenn, this talented cover man could become a household name by the end of 2025. As Detroit’s first-round pick last year, Arnold was thrown into the fire. After some early struggles with penalties, he ultimately acquitted himself well. The Alabama product’s patience and persistence in coverage frustrated wideouts unable to escape his clutches at the line of scrimmage. In addition, his superb instincts and awareness in coverage enabled him to routinely get his hands on the ball at the catch point. Though he did not register an interception on the season, Arnold posted 10 pass breakups, with Next Gen Stats charting him with a 57 percent completion rate allowed. Those numbers underscore that he was consistently in the right place at the right time in coverage.
CB NATE WIGGINS, BALTIMORE
The feisty cover corner held his own on the island in a blitz-happy scheme that puts immense pressure on defensive backs to win their one-on-one matchups. Wiggins finished his rookie campaign with an interception, 13 passes defensed and a 47.8 percent completion rate allowed, per NGS. Most importantly, the ultra-competitive defender displayed the skill, confidence and grittiness to shadow WR1s with minimal help from deep defenders. As the Ravens look to take the next step as a title contender, they will need Wiggins and free-agent signee Jaire Alexander to flourish as lockdown defenders.
CB TARHEEB STILL, LA CHARGERS
It’s all about the ball in Jesse Minter’s zone-based defense. Still quickly adapted to the system, showcasing outstanding instincts, awareness and diagnostic skills in coverage. The former fifth-round pick stole the show in the defensive backfield with four interceptions and 10 passes defensed in a vision-based scheme. Still’s playmaking ability and coverage discipline make it hard for quarterbacks to repeatedly target his area without paying the price. As the Chargers continue to climb the ranks as title contenders, the football world will gain a greater appreciation for this ballhawking corner.
S COLE BISHOP BUFFALO
The second-year pro should make the transition from workout warrior to impact player in 2025. Bishop possesses the prototypical traits (6-2, 207 pounds; 4.45-second 40-yard dash; 39-inch vertical leap; 10-foot-4 broad jump) that evaluators covet in a modern safety who can play as a center fielder or box-area defender. The former Utah standout’s athleticism and versatility should help him shine in a defense that prioritizes fast and physical play. With head coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich intent on utilizing simplistic schemes to make the game easy, we could see Bishop shine as a playmaking defender in the middle of the field.
S TYKEE SMITH TAMPA BAY
After earning rave reviews as a slot defender in 2024, Smith appears set to spend more time as a safety in 2025. As a ballhawking defender with superb instincts, the 5-10, 202-pounder produced two interceptions, three forced fumbles and seven passes defensed. Additionally, Next Gen Stats credited Smith with eight QB pressures, proving his worth as a crafty pass rusher on blitzes. Though a move to safety would alter his role in coverage, Smith’s ballhawking skills and aggressive approach could result in more turnovers for the Buccaneers down the middle of the field.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
OLE MISS FOOTBALL PLAYER COREY ADAMS IS KILLED IN TENNESSEE SHOOTING
Ole Miss freshman football player Corey Adams was killed in a shooting in Tennessee, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office announced Sunday.
Law enforcement officials found Adams with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at an intersection in Cordova on the outskirts of Memphis late Saturday, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
“They provided life-saving measures until Shelby County Fire arrived,” the sheriff’s office said. “Shelby County Fire personnel later pronounced the victim deceased on the scene.”
Four other men who suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds in the incident arrived at nearby hospitals in personal vehicles, authorities said.
Law enforcement officials have not named any suspects but said they are investigating the shooting as a homicide.
Adams, an 18-year-old New Orleans native, had been one of the top defensive linemen recruits in the country.
The football program at the University of Mississippi said in a social media post it was “devastated” to learn of Adams’ death.
“While our program is trying to cope with this tragic loss, our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” the team said. “We ask the Ole Miss community to keep Corey in their thoughts and respect the privacy of everyone involved.”
Adams’ former New Orleans high school football team, the Edna Karr Cougars, said in a Facebook post that “words can’t describe this type of pain.”
“Corey Adams was more than a football player! He was a friend, brother, son, student, and all around great young man,” the team stated. “We never question God but this is one we just don’t understand.”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
MLB ROUNDUP: WHITE SOX DOWN PIRATES FOR FIRST SERIES SWEEP THIS SEASON
Miguel Vargas and Mike Tauchman hit back-to-back home runs to spark a four-run first inning, which propelled the Chicago White Sox to a 7-2 victory over the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon.
Vargas and Tauchman each finished with two hits and three RBIs to help the White Sox earn their first series sweep of the season. Chicago was the only remaining team in the majors that had not swept a series this season.
The Pirates sustained their third loss in a row and 11th in their past 12 games — marking their worst stretch of the season. Nick Gonzales doubled and drove in a run for the Pirates, and Andrew McCutchen added a double.
Chicago’s bats backed up a quality start from Aaron Civale (2-6), who pitched six innings and gave up one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out six.

Soto started the inning by coaxing a leadoff walk from Brent Suter (1-1), then reached third via Jeff McNeil’s one-out double to right-center. Tony Santillan relieved Suter and Torrens welcomed him by rapping a 3-2 pitch to Reds second baseman Matt McLain, whose one-hop throw home was too late to nail Soto at the plate.
Edwin Diaz (5-0) got the win for the Mets despite blowing a save chance, courtesy of his two-out, bases-loaded plunking of Spencer Steer that allowed McLain to score the tying run in the top of the eighth. Ryne Stanek pitched the ninth for his second save.

GOLF NEWS
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER DOMINATES IN BRITISH OPEN VICTORY FOR HIS 2ND MAJOR TITLE THIS YEAR
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — The enormous yellow scoreboard above the 18th green at Royal Portrush perfectly illustrated the state of golf these days. Scottie Scheffler’s name was at the top. No one was close.
That’s how it was in the British Open on Sunday, when Scheffler never gave anyone a chance from the time his 9-iron settled a foot away for birdie on the first hole until he tapped in for a 3-under 68 and a four-shot victory over Harris English.
That’s how it is in the sport, a level of dominance not seen since Tiger Woods.
“He is the bar that we’re all trying to get to,” Masters champion Rory McIlroy said. “In a historical context, you could argue that there’s only maybe two or three players in the history of the game that have been on a run the one that Scottie’s been on here for the last 24 to 36 months. Incredibly impressive.”
Scheffler not only won his second major this year — and fourth in the last three years — he captured the third leg of the career Grand Slam, now missing only the U.S. Open.
He became the first player in more than a century to win his first fourth major title by at least three shots, and if not for his lone blunder from a bunker on the eighth hole when he had a seven-shot lead, he would have played bogey-free on the weekend.
“Being able to walk up 18 with the tournament in hand is a really tough thing to describe. It’s a really cool feeling. I have a lot of gratitude towards being able to accomplish something like this,” Scheffler said, the silver claret jug on the table next to him.
“It’s taken a lot of work — not only a lot of work, but it takes a lot of patience,” he said. “It’s a high level of focus over 72 holes of a tournament. This was, I felt like, one of my best performances mentally.”
The emotions he showed were telling.
Until he had his name etched on golf’s oldest trophy, Scheffler had a week marked by his extraordinary insight on how he views winning. He said celebrations last only a few minutes. He has wondered, “What’s the point?”
He loves the work required to be the best. He thrives on competition. But in terms of fulfillment, he often questions why he wants to win so badly when the thrill of winning is fleeting.
On the golf course, his biggest fist pump was for a par on the sixth hole. As he crouched to line up his birdie putt on the 18th, he rested his head on his hand with a slight smile of deep satisfaction. When he tapped in the final putt, he plucked the ball from the cup and put it in his pocket as if he had just won a regular PGA Tour event.
But when he finally found his family — wife Meredith, 15-month-old son Bennett, and his parents — Scheffler went crazy. He thrust both arms in the air, pumped both arms, screamed and threw his cap in the air. That’s what it’s all about for the 29-year-old from Texas.
“She’s always the first person I want to celebrate with,” he said. “She knows me better than anybody. That’s my best friend. It takes a lot of work to be able to become good at this game, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without her support.”
McIlroy had referred to the outcome as “inevitable” when Scheffler built a four-shot lead going into the final round, and it was every bit of that.
The tap-in birdie on the first hole. A brilliant approach between two knobs to 7 feet for birdie on the fourth. A 15-foot birdie on No. 5. Most telling was his biggest celebration, a powerful fist pump when he made a 15-foot par putt on No. 6.
It was reminiscent of when Woods saved his biggest fist pump for a par on the 16th hole of his historic 15-shot victory at Pebble Beach in the 2000 U.S. Open, when it was clear Woods was competing mainly against himself.
That’s what it felt like until Scheffler’s one wobble a double bogey on No. 8 when it took two shots to get out of a fairway bunker.
That ended his streak of 32 consecutive holes without a bogey. The lead was down to four shots when Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup birdied the ninth. And then Scheffler birdied the next hole. He played the back nine with eight pars and a birdie because that’s all he needed. No one could catch him.
“I played with him the first two days, and honestly I thought he was going to birdie every hole. It was incredible to watch,” Shane Lowry said. “If Scottie’s feet stayed stable and his swing looked like Adam Scott’s, we’d be talking about him in the same words as Tiger Woods. … His bad shots are really good. That’s when you know he’s really good.”
Scheffler, who finished at 17-under 267, won for the fourth time this year. He now has won 20 times worldwide in the last 30 months. This was the 11th straight time he turned a 54-hole lead into a victory.
“I don’t think we thought the golfing world would see someone as dominant as Tiger come through so soon, and here’s Scottie sort of taking that throne of dominance,” said Xander Schauffele, the defending champion who tied for seventh.
“You can’t even say he’s on a run. He’s just been killing it for over two years now,” he said. “He’s a tough man to beat, and when you see his name up on the leaderboard, it sucks for us.”
English capped off a memorable two weeks in the United Kingdom. His caddie of eight years couldn’t get a new travel visa because of a 10-year prison term he served two decades ago. English had a replacement last week at the Scottish Open and another this week.
It didn’t stop him. English closed with a 66 and was runner-up in a major for the second time this year — both times to Scheffler — as he strengthened his case for the Ryder Cup team.
“The only guy to beat me at the PGA and this week. I’m playing some good golf,” English said. “I wasn’t playing professional golf when Tiger was at his peak. But it’s pretty incredible, just how good of a front-runner he is.”
Li Haotong of China (70), Matt Fitzpatrick (69) and Wyndham Clark (65) tied for fourth. That gets Li into the Masters next year.
As for McIlroy, there were few complaints. He needed an electric start like he had Saturday and was eight shots behind an hour into the final round. No matter. The Masters champion soaked up adulation across Royal Portrush, closing with a 69 to tie for seventh.
“I wish I had have been closer to Scottie going into today and been able to make a real push,” McIlroy said. “But he’s been on a different level all week and he’s been on a different level for the last two years to the rest of us. He is the bar that we’re all trying to get to at this point.
“But for me to be in front of everyone here at home and to get that reception up the last, absolutely incredible. I’ll remember that for a long time.”
The only stumble from Scheffler came from his 15-month-old son, who tried to walk up a slope to the 18th green toward his dad and the claret jug, only to face-plant.
“I don’t think he’s ever been up a hill that big before,” Scheffler said with a laugh.
That also goes for players chasing Scheffler.
HOW ALL 20 LIV GOLFERS FINISHED AT THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
LIV Golf’s major drought will extend into 2026, but the breakaway league did have a surprise top-10 finisher at Royal Portrush for The Open Championship.
A breakdown of how each of the 20 LIV players fared at Royal Portrush.
1. Bryson DeChambeau (-9, T10)
DeChambeau leading the LIV pack would not have been a surprise at the start of the week despite his shaky history on links courses. But his rally to a tie for 10th was especially impressive considering his 78 on Thursday left DeChambeau ahead of only seven players in the entire field.
The two-time U.S. Open champion fired a 65 on Friday to make the cut on the number and then posted 68-64 over the weekend to finish at 9 under. DeChambeau’s 64 on Sunday tied champion Scottie Scheffler (second round) for the low round of the tournament.
2. Tyrrell Hatton (-7, T16)
The Englishman played his way onto the first page of the leaderboard through 54 holes, but Hatton’s legendary temper was on full display during a disappointing 72 on Sunday. After battling to stay in contention on the front nine, Hatton went 1 over on the back to slide out of the top-20.
3. Dustin Johnson (-6, T23)
There was a D.J. sighting on the weekend of a major for the first time since The Open last year. It didn’t appear the drought was going to be snapped after opening with a 73, but Johnson went 69-67-69 to quietly move his way up the leaderboard.
T4. Sergio Garcia (-3, T34)
Desperately trying to regain his form in time to convince European captain Luke Donald to consider him for the Ryder Cup, Garcia also made the cut on the number and then closed with a 68 for his low round of the tournament.
T4. Jon Rahm (-3, T34)
After solid showings at each of the first three majors of the year, Rahm admitted he just couldn’t find his groove at Royal Portrush. His low round was a 69 on Saturday, and the Spaniard was never a factor this week.
T4. Lee Westwood (-3, T34)
The Englishman qualified for The Open for the first time in three years and then made some early noise by going 3 under through his first seven holes of the tournament. Westwood wasn’t able to maintain the momentum for 72 holes and closed with a 73 that included a triple bogey on Sunday.
7. Jason Kokrak (-2, T40)
Kokrak hasn’t made many waves with his performance and cruised his way through four rounds at Royal Portrush without breaking 70. But that was good enough for a T40 — the best finish among players who failed to post at least one score in the 60s this week.
8. Henrik Stenson (-1, T45)
The 2016 Open champion rebounded from an opening 75 to make the cut on the number. The author of one of the most dramatic finishes in Open history was unable to generate much drama over the weekend this time, closing 69-71.
9. Marc Leishman (E, T52)
Leishman book-ended a 73 and a 75 with a pair of 68s. The Australian was never really a threat after going 3 over through his first 12 holes of the event. Leishman did go 4 under over the next 40 holes but was unable to maintain the momentum. Many take shots at LIV’s 54-hole format, and Leishman is one of several who again struggled on Sunday.
10. Phil Mickelson (+1, T56)
A hole-out as part of an opening 70 was Mickelson’s highlight for the week. He faded with a 72 on Friday that was followed by a 76 on Saturday. Mickelson did rebound for a closing 67 that saw him climb 10 spots on the leaderboard.
11. Dean Burmester (+3, T61)
The South African made the cut with a stroke to spare but then tumbled with a 76 on Saturday. After opening the final round with three bogeys through four holes, Burmester did recover to post five birdies en route to a 69.
MISSED THE CUT
Joaquin Niemann (144)
Carlos Ortiz (145)
Tom McKibbin (145)
John Catlin (146)
Lucas Herbert (146)
Patrick Reed (147)
Luis Oosthuizen (148)
Brooks Koepka (149)
Cam Smith (150)
The 20 LIV Golf players will now have a few days to relax locally before joining their league mates for this week’s LIV Golf IK starting Friday at the JCB Golf & Country Club.

NASCAR NEWS
DENNY HAMLIN SURVIVES RAIN DELAY, OVERTIME FINISH TO WIN FOR 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR AT DOVER
DOVER, Del. (AP) — Denny Hamlin went back-to-back at Dover Motor Speedway, holding a late lead through a rain delay and an overtime finish Sunday for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s series-best fourth victory of the season.
Hamlin won in the No. 11 Toyota for the second straight time at Dover to add to wins this season at Martinsville, Darlington and Michigan.
Hamlin has 58 NASCAR Cup Series victories, leaving him, two short of Kevin Harvick for 10th on the career list. The 44-year-old Virginia driver might hit that mark this season as he chases his first career Cup championship.
“Winning here at Dover is super special to me,” Hamlin said. “This is a place that I’ve not been very good at the first half of my career. To go back-to-back here the last two years is amazing.”
Hamlin took the checkered flag days after he suffered a setback in court with his own 23XI Racing team’s federal antitrust suit against NASCAR.
On Thursday, a federal judge rejected a request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they battle NASCAR in court, meaning their six cars will race as open entries this weekend at Dover, next week at Indianapolis and perhaps longer than that in a move the teams say would put them at risk of going out of business.
Hamlin vowed this weekend “all will be exposed” if the case goes to its scheduled Dec. 1 trial date.
The courtroom drama hasn’t affected Hamlin’s performance on the track. Hamlin held off JGR teammate Chase Briscoe for the victory. Hendrick Motorsports drivers took the next two spots, with Alex Bowman third and Kyle Larson fourth.
Hamlin held off Kyle Larson down the stretch last season to earn the second of his three career wins at the Monster Mile.
The first July Cup race at Dover since 1969 started with steamy weather and drivers battled the conditions inside the car during a relatively clean race until rain fell late and red-flagged the race with 14 laps left. Hamlin said the during the break he planned to change his firesuit — temperatures inside the car soared to 140 degrees.
He also returned to the car after the 56-minute delay with old tires. Hamlin had enough to win at Dover and park the Toyota in victory lane.
“We’ve got a lot left,” Hamlin said.
Up next
It’s off to Indianapolis Motor Speedway where Kyle Larson won last season on the oval after a four-year break on the road course.

PATO O’WARD WINS IN TORONTO, INCHES TOWARD ALEX PALOU IN SEASON RACE
Mexico’s Pato O’Ward eked out his second win in three weeks on Sunday at the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto, keeping alive his underdog chances to win the season championship.
Alex Palou rode a dominant start to the season to a 129-point lead in the points race, the largest margin this deep in a season since IndyCar began using the scoring system. After the Spaniard finished 12th in Toronto, O’Ward sliced that deficit to 99 with four races to go.
O’Ward started back in 10th but led 30 out of 90 laps in his No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet and beat the Netherlands’ Rinus VeeKay by 0.4843 seconds. Kyffin Simpson of the Cayman Islands was third, his first podium finish in two IndyCar seasons.
“I knew I had a great car under me to race with and the guys nailed it on the strategy,” O’Ward said in his post-race interview.
That strategy was for O’Ward to start the race on his alternate set of tires before moving to his primary tires early on Lap 3.
“I was feeling so good on the (primary) tires all weekend really. We were just struggling to get the alternates to work in qualifying. Sadly, that’s the one you need to transfer,” O’Ward said.
Palou, conversely, started on his primary tires from the No. 2 position. The seven-time winner this year led 37 laps but faded down the stretch.
“Well, I chose the strategy, so that’s what we did wrong today,” Palou said. “I was pushing for that strategy. I thought it was going to give us the best opportunity to win. I wanted to be up front trying to avoid being trapped in traffic.”
Simpson was the biggest mover of the day after starting the race 13th.
“It was a crazy race,” Simpson said. “So many ups and downs. At one point we thought we were in the worst position, and then very quickly it turned into one of the best positions.”

INDIANA FEVER
FEVER COACH: CAITLIN CLARK LIKELY OUT VS. LIBERTY ON TUESDAY
Indiana star guard Caitlin Clark, who sat out the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday because of a right groin injury, is not expected to play on Tuesday against the host New York Liberty, Fever coach Stephanie White said on Sunday.
Clark, a team captain for the All-Star game in the Fever’s home arena in Indianapolis, also missed competing in the 3-point contest.
She last played on July 15, collecting 14 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal with five turnovers in 28 minutes of an 88-77 win at the Connecticut Sun. Clark missed the game the next day against the host Liberty.
“I think she’s progressing and I think we’re continuing to address everything that needs to be addressed,” White told reporters. “She’s gonna see some doctors and get some more tests run early in the week. I don’t expect her to be available on Tuesday so we’re just going to continue to take it one day at a time.”
Clark was a picture of durability, not missing a game in her college career at Iowa and her WNBA Rookie of the Year season in 2024, when she became a record-setting superstar ascending beyond the sport.
However, she has been dealing with multiple soft tissue injuries as a second-year pro.
Injuries to the left quad and left groin preceded the right groin ailment, costing her a total of 10 regular-season games (not including her absence from the Commissioner’s Cup final).
Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 5.1 turnovers and 31.1 minutes in 13 games (all starts).
The Fever, adjusting to the availability of their assist-leader Clark as well as other players on a changing roster, are 12-11.
“For us, it’s probably something we’re going to continue to deal with,” White said. “These soft tissue injuries sometimes nag until you can actually have time to really allow them to heal in the offseason.
“So, we’ll just take it one day at a time and as they come, and this group will continue to progress together,” she continued.

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
INDIANS RALLY STYMIED BY SOUNDS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jared Oliva’s two-run, go-ahead double in the seventh inning led the Nashville Sounds to a 7-4 win over the Indianapolis Indians at First Horizon Park on Saturday night.
With the game tied, 4-4, Oliva roped an 0-2 pitch down the left field line off Colin Holderman (L, 0-1) to give the Sounds (11-9, 55-38) a late 6-4 lead that they held onto. Nashville added an insurance run in the eighth inning on an RBI single from Daz Cameron to conclude the scoring.
Indianapolis (13-7, 55-39) opened the scoring in the second inning. After a two-out single by Darick Hall and a bit-by-pitch to Alika Williams, Brett Sullivan drove both home for a 2-0 lead with his third triple of the season.
Nashville battled back in the third inning, with Oliver Dunn’s two-run, go-ahead single capping a four-run frame for a 4-2 advantage. Back-to-back doubles from Freddy Zamora and Drew Avans pushed the first run across and Tyler Black later singled to tie the game, scoring Cameron after he was hit by a pitch and advanced on a groundout. After a walk to Bobby Dalbec, Dunn cashed in with the go-ahead, two-run hit.
Indy rallied to tie the game with a run in the fifth and sixth innings. Tsung-Che Cheng cut the deficit, 4-3, with an RBI double to center field in the fifth inning. Sullivan reached on a two-base error by Tyler Black and scored on Cheng’s hit. In the sixth inning, Sullivan knotted the game with an RBI single to score Jared Triolo, setting a new season high with three RBI.
LHP Hunter Barco exited after just 2.2 innings, allowing four runs on four hits, two walks and two strikeouts. Sounds RHP Chad Patrick allowed three runs (two earned) across 5.0 innings, bridging to the bullpen that closed the game. Bryan Hudson (W, 2-1) earned the win with a scoreless seventh inning and Craig Yoho (S, 6) closed out the ninth.
The game opened with a 1:02 rain delay with first pitch taking place at 8:37 PM.
The series finale between Indianapolis and Nashville is on Sunday at 7:05 PM. RHP Drake Fellows (6-2, 4.85) takes the mound for Indy against Sounds RHP Logan Henderson (9-3, 3.01).
