The PGA Championship's final round on Sunday lacked the big names of Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, but that didn't matter as Justin Thomas claimed the title in a playoff against Will Zalatoris. Woods dropped out after posting one of the worst scores in his career on Saturday. On Sunday, Thomas had had a 1.2% chance of winning. He had one of the largest comebacks in a Major championship to claim his second Major title. EYE ON THE PRIZE

Alabama football coach Nick Saban has been slinging mud at his fellow college football head coaches over NIL (name, image, likeness). Saban accused Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders of violating policies and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher of "buying every player on their team."
Texas A&M finished the 2022 recruiting season edging out Alabama for the top spot. Fisher responded by saying, "I don't cheat. I don't lie. If you did, my old man slapped me across the face.
