Tiger Woods expects Trump talks to see LIV golfers back on PGA Tour in 2025
- PGA Tour board members met Trump at start of February
- ‘I think things are going to heal quickly’ says Woods
Tiger Woods has claimed LIV golfers could make a sensational return to the PGA Tour this year after the direct involvement of Donald Trump in the sport’s unification talks.
Elite golf has been in a fractured state since the launch of the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV circuit in 2022. A key upshot was the generally acrimonious departure of several big names from the PGA Tour to LIV. Despite the signing of a framework agreement between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund in the summer of 2023, the pace of progress has been glacial.

Six Nations half-term report: Ireland top of class but Wales go from bad to worse | Ugo Monye
In rating the teams it is the defending champions that look a cut above as the other sides struggle to find consistency
There was a suspicion of vulnerability to Ireland coming into the Six Nations but they have answered those questions in style so far. Perhaps we’d just become a bit complacent about their standards but, as the only side unbeaten after two rounds, they look formidable.

Manchester United’s slump deepens, Ryan Christie inspires Bournemouth and David Moyes lets the good times roll
Can winning a game that resembled two lurching drunks swinging at each other at closing time be regarded as vindication for Ange Postecoglou? Perhaps if Manchester United had a more mobile midfield and someone other than Rasmus Højlund at centre-forward – last goal at Plzen on 12 December – flanked by a winger in Alejandro Garnacho who last scored against Bodø/Glimt two weeks before that. It turns out Joshua Zirkzee – who has three goals in the league all season – is United’s most potent forward. The numbers point to this being United’s worst team in decades, and the only good news Ruben Amorim received on Sunday was 17th-placed Wolves’ defeat at Liverpool. Tottenham saw out a second successive Premier League clean sheet for the first time in 16 months but did so nervously. It will take much more than sketchily defeating a crashing clown car to prove Postecoglou’s pronouncement that the true Tottenham would reveal themselves once his injured players started returning.

Versatile French playmaker adds class and experience to a young side hopeful of returning to the Premier League
Enzo Le Fée is the subject of considerable introspection at Roma. The concern at the Stadio Olimpico is that last month’s decision to offload the multitalented French midfielder with more than a hint of Luka Modric about his game, might prove a big mistake. Sunderland certainly exhibit zero sign of buyer’s remorse over an expensive loan deal obligated to turn into a formal £20m transfer should Régis Le Bris’s team return to the Premier League this spring.
“Le Fée is 100% quality,” says Gary Bennett, the former Sunderland defender turned BBC Radio Newcastle match analyst. “From what we’ve seen so far, wow. Twenty million will be money very well spent.”

Kevin O'Connor rips apart NBA All-Star Weekend, blasting TNT, Adam Silver, and even LeBron for the chaos. Why did TNT make it about themselves?

KOC and Dan Titus call the whole weekend a mess, plus they break down Draymond Green’s wild takes—from calling himself and Jimmy Butler both “alphas” to predicting a Warriors title and claiming he “turned down” Golden State’s future head coaching job.
