Feb. 19, 2025

It turns out, Tiger Woods is like most people. Woods returned to his simulator league on Tuesday night, and a classic mixup with his teammates ensued. The 15-time major winner was 199 yards away from the pin but oddly had a 56-degree wedge in his hand. Not even Happy Gilmore could do that.

Novak Djokovic says recent doping cases in tennis suggest ‘favoritism’ and are ‘not a good image for our sport’

Feb. 18, 2025

On Saturday, it had emerged that world No. 1 Sinner accepted a ban from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) from February 9 until May 4 to settle a case which had lingered over tennis for months after the 2025 Australian Open winner twice tested positive for banned substance Clostebol in March last year. He previously avoided suspension when the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced in August that he wasn’t at fault for the positive tests, but WADA later lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). That led to Sinner’s ongoing ban being announced last week, but the three-time grand slam champion will still be eligible to compete at the French Open, the next grand slam on the tennis calendar.

He and his family returned to the US when he was two years old.

‘My job is so, so hard,’ says Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim as the club sinks to latest low

Feb. 17, 2025

If such a bold statement was a tactic to galvanize his team to turnaround its awful form, it certainly hasn’t worked. In reality, the squad has only proved the manager’s assertion right. The nightmare of United’s league season hit a new low on Sunday after it was beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur, a team which has also suffered from a string of bad results in recent months. James Maddison returned from injury to score the winning goal for Spurs, while an underwhelming United was left kicking itself after missing some golden chances to equalize – Alejandro Garnacho was particularly culpable. The defeat means the Red Devils slip to 15th in the Premier League table, with a minus seven goal difference. The team is now closer to the relegation zone than it is to the Champions League qualification spots.
