Tiger Woods returns to golf course, nearly sinks albatross in star-studded Florida event

By
Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods was back playing golf again.

Paired with PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh at Monday’s Seminole Golf Club Pro-Member event, Woods and Waugh carded a 2-under 70 in the gross competition.

That put them in a tie for 44th in the 78-team field, per 5 Clubs Golf on X.

Woods and Waugh then tied for 33rd in the low-net competition, signing for a 5-under 67. The USGA lists Waugh as having a 9.6 handicap index out of Seminole Golf Club.

Tiger Woods honored with USGA's most prestigious award

This event marked the first time Woods played publicly since his withdrawal at the Genesis Invitational.

On Sirius XM’s PGA Tour Radio, Brad Faxon said, “Everybody who watched [Woods] play at Seminole said he hit it absolutely down the middle.”

WTA Indian Wells Day 1 Predictions Including Venus Williams Vs Nao Hibino

By
Venus Williams Nao Hibino

There is a very exciting draw for the women’s singles in Indian Wells, despite five WTA players withdrawing from the event. An example of that is Venus Williams continuing her legendary career on day 1. Her match is one of four predicted in this article. We at LWOT also predict all the other WTA contests taking place on the first day in Indian Wells, including Danielle Collins vs Erika Andreeva. Who do you think will advance?

These two have played doubles together on many occasions, including as recently as this year’s Abu Dhabi Open a few weeks ago. Although Sorribes Tormo leads the head-to-head, Bouzkova won their most recent meeting in 2022. Expect many long rallies between two players who are adept at extending rallies in their singles matches. On a hard court, Bouzkova is the favourite. The slow conditions in Indian Wells might help Sorribes Tormo somewhat, but I do not think that will be enough for her to topple her doubles partner.

This is a great opportunity for both players to get a win at the WTA 1000 level, with each woman ranked outside the Top 100. Parrizas-Diaz came through qualifying, while Kessler was given a wildcard for the tournament. Kessler won her first Grand Slam main-draw match at the Australian Open this year. She then came close to beating the eventual quarterfinalist Linda Noskova in the next round. In front of home support in Indian Wells, she could find some extra inspiration to overcome her Spanish opponent.

Ben Shelton’s Attempt to Emulate Roger Federer Goes Horribly Wrong at Eisenhower Cup

By
Roger Federer Ben Shelton

Roger Federer is a pioneer in tennis. The Swiss Maestro has come up with many moves and strategies that many players use today to win points. One of his most prominent moves was the SABR, ‘Sneak Attack by Roger’, where he would move up to receive the second serve earlier. Ben Shelton aimed to recreate the move recently but failed horribly.

While Shelton failed to pull off the attack this time, he managed to achieve success to a certain level in a tournament earlier this year. However, at the moment, nothing seems to go right for the young ATP star.

Billionaire Roger Federer-Backed Ben Shelton Reveals Endearing Childhood Tale That Gave Rise to His Widely Popular Signature Move at the US Open - EssentiallySports

The 20-time grand slam champion created the SABR in 2015. He developed it when he was struggling to go deep in tournaments. Federer employed the maneuver at the end of practice sessions to get points. His coach suggested he do it in a game, and he had great success, which led to the maneuver becoming quite popular. Shelton, a big fan of Federer, aimed to pull the move off recently.

Playing doubles in the Eisenhower Cup, an event before the Indian Wells Masters, Shelton aimed to return the ball rather close to the serve box. However, the ball would hit the corner of his racket and launch it into the stands, where it landed in the hands of a fan, who would go on to stand up and cheer in joy.

The Anthony Joshua show reaches another defining act as he faces Francis Ngannou in mission to become three-time world champion

By
Anthony Joshua Francis Ngannou

Anthony Joshua faces Francis Ngannou knowing a statement victory could open up one of the most exciting periods in his career as he targets becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion; watch Joshua face Ngannou live on Sky Sports Box Office on Friday March 8.

Whether relaunch or retaliation, his renewed pursuit of boxing’s pinnacle resumes in less orthodox circumstances on Friday when he pits his knockout exploits against that of former UFC star Francis Ngannou. A stoppage victory beckons as the latest statement on his targeted route back to heavyweight glory, while threatening a sharp jab to the Tyson Fury tale in light of the Gypsy King’s uncomfortable encounter with Ngannou late last year.

Anthony Joshua Declares His Readiness To Take On Francis Ngannou

Ngannou wanted the biggest and the best were he to sacrifice UFC supremacy for his childhood dreams of stepping inside the ring. So he came to Fury and now he comes to Joshua, the latter of whom’s influence as a beacon of his era has helped sell yet more historic crossover combat in Saudi Arabia’s heavyweight playground.

The career of Ngannou has unfolded minus the burden of expectation such is his underdog background, while in contrast there may be no British fighter of the last decade that has shouldered as much pressure to succeed as Joshua during his gold-medal-springboarded rise to fame.

Ngannou Can Still Count on Support From Hero Tyson

By
Mike Ngannou Tyson

Francis Ngannou’s trainer, Dewey Cooper, has revealed that Mike Tyson was present only “a couple times” during the 16-week training camp for Ngannou’s fight against heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Ngannou, a former UFC champion, caused a seismic shock when he dropped Fury on his way to a split decision defeat in a close fight against the WBC heavyweight champion.

After the fight, Mike Tyson lifted Ngannou’s hand aloft, but Cooper revealed during an interview earlier this week that the heavyweight great was not as heavily involved in Ngannou’s preparations as it might have seemed to some.

“He was only there a couple times,” Cooper said. “Mike Tyson talks to Francis often, and that’s what matters. The support of a great guy like Mike Tyson – he did come through a few times throughout the training camp, and that helped a lot.”

Social media videos of Tyson taking Ngannou on the pads and coverage from broadcasters gave the impression that the boxing legend was a mainstay in the UFC star’s training camp.

Floyd Mayweather introduces elite Terence Crawford title matchup

By
Floyd Mayweather Terence Crawford Jaron Ennis

Mayweather identified Jaron Ennis as the prime candidate to try and dethrone the pound-for-pound king of boxing.

He took his stance on the grounds of Crawford not being able to land a bout against Canelo Alvarez or a rematch with Errol Spence Jr.

Now seven months removed from his seventh-round knockout of Spence Jr., Mayweather thinks that Crawford and Ennis is next up on the itinerary.

The Money Team founder sat down for an interview with Fight Hype and gave sound reason for a Crawford and Ennis welterweight contest:

“Somebody’s got to give ‘Boots’ the opportunity. It’s been difficult for Terence Crawford to get the Spence rematch done, it’s been difficult to get the Canelo fight done, so his other option is to fight ‘Boots’ Ennis,” Mayweather said

‘Boots’ Ennis possesses the speed, flash, and technical skills to bother Crawford. He’d also be the last major pugilist at 147 pounds for Crawford to potentially best before moving up in weight, which he’s long desired.

Mayweather also drew from his fight with Canelo Alvarez back in 2013. He stated that giving Alvarez a chance helped boost his profile. Win or lose, Ennis is at a juncture in his career where a strong performance against Crawford would similarly pay immeasurable dividends.

Simone Biles is modeling workout gear. In a new social media post, the gymnast shows off her amazing body while modeling her favorite Athleta pieces. She shared the Instagram video during her luxurious getaway to Hawaii with husband Jonathan Owens. How does the athlete maintain her amazing body? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits, including her approach to mental and physical health.

I’ve always been in therapy [and] I’ve always been an advocate for medicine,” Biles told Vanity Fair. “If you need an inhaler, take it. If you have anxiety, take it. I’m no stranger to medicine.” Years ago Biles was prescribed Lexapro for anxiety, and she continues to take the medication today.

Simone fills her plate with lean protein and lots of fiber. For breakfast she has Kellogg’s Red Berries or egg whites. Lunch, “is either chicken or fish so I get the protein,” she told Women’s Health. Next up, a “quick snack” before another workout. “Pre-workout I love drinking Core Power; it’s a recovery drink. And then a banana and peanut butter because bananas have potassium, which helps with muscle cramps.” “And then,” for dinner, “I like having a good fish, like salmon, and rice and carrots.”
