Five golfers have now tested positive for COVID-19, but PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said the tour’s protocols are working. Harris English is the latest casualty, announcing Monday that he’s withdrawing from this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic after testing positive for the virus. English joins Cameron Champ, Denny McCarthy, and […]
Two NASCAR races in two days might seem like a grind, but the doubleheader at Pocono Raceway was actually well received by most drivers. It might happen more often next year, and could provide a way to shorten the schedule. The NASCAR season currently starts with the Busch Clash at […]
The PGA Tour’s most consistent golfer isn’t Rory McIlroy or Brooks Koepka, but Dustin Johnson, and he proved it by winning the Travelers Championship on Sunday. Johnson, who was 28/1 to win, has now won at least one tour event every year for the past 13 seasons. He told reporters […]
Bryson DeChambeau has seen positive results coming from his new fitness routine, and it may pay off this week at the Travelers Championship. That’s why with this week’s One Bet, $100, I’m picking DeChambeau at 12/1 to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Last week […]
Eight out of the top 10 golfers in the Official World Golf Rankings are playing the Travelers Championship, which starts Thursday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should back one of them to win. Nine players out of the top 10 were supposed to […]
Two days before the start of the Travelers Championship, Cameron Champ tested positive for COVID-19. Graeme McDowell and Brooks Koepka also withdrew because their caddies tested positive for the disease. Champ and McDowell were both listed as 150/1 by William Hill to win the PGA Tour event, which begins Thursday […]
The PGA Championship will go on as scheduled at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, but without fans in attendance. The major championship, scheduled for Aug. 6-9, was in danger of being moved out of California — or even canceled — because of the COVID-19 pandemic. California has some of […]
Despite COVID-19 greatly affecting some major college football programs, the odds of those teams winning the National Championship have generally stayed the same. In Alabama’s case, their odds have actually improved from when they were first released in January. Clemson and LSU, the two programs that met in the 2020 […]
Crew members working for Bubba Wallace, the only full-time African-American driver on the NASCAR Cup circuit, made a troubling discovery on Sunday when they found a noose in their garage stall at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway during Sunday’s Geico 500. Wallace, who was not in the garage when the noose was […]
Ryan Blaney hasn’t won this year, and odds are long that he will win the Geico 500. That doesn’t mean he won’t be close to the top like he has been in five of the last six races. That is why with this week’s One Bet, $100 I am picking […]
Golfer Nick Watney tested positive for COVID-19 before the start of the second round Friday of the RBC Heritage. The 39-year-old becomes the first professional golfer to come down with the disease. Watney came to Harbour Town Golf Links on Friday, and told a physician he had symptoms of COVID-19. […]
NASCAR drivers will be at its second super speedway of 2020 on Sunday at Talladega for the Geico 500. The race provides a tricky scenario for gamblers because of the wide-open nature of the 2.66-mile high-banked oval rack track, located east of Birmingham, Alabama. Throw in tapered spacers for speed […]
Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, New York, will go on as planned on July 4, but with a few alterations because of the COVID-19 global pandemic. There will be no crowds and, instead of 15 contestants, there will be only five to adhere to social […]
Sometimes you pick a golfer because of their fondness for a golf course, and that’s exactly what I’m doing with Webb Simpson this week at RBC Heritage. With my One Bet, $100, I’m taking Simpson at +350 to finish in the top 10. Last week, I thought I was going […]
Conventional wisdom would suggest those who returned from a 12-week layoff by playing last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge should have an advantage at this week’s RBC Heritage. Not so, however. The RBC Heritage, which is played at Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head, South Carolina is a far different […]
A month after the WNBA season was orignally set to begin, officials announced games will start in late July at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert laid out the plans to save the season on Monday. Engelbert says the league is in the final stages of […]
While a lot was made about the world’s top-five golfers playing in the Charles Schwab Challenge, it was the tour’s rank and file who made the biggest noise at the event. Daniel Berger, who was ranked 106th in the Official World Golf Ratings, defeated Collin Morikawa, who was ranked 65th, […]
After getting tossed from the NFL, failed quarterback Christian Hackenberg is making a pitch to become a professional baseball player. Hackenberg has been working with a pitching coach in hope of getting signed by a MLB team. The former Penn State signal-caller was taken by the New York Jets with […]
NASCAR will have fans in the stands for the first time since March 8 during Sunday’s Dixie Vodka 400, but they won’t be flying any confederate flags. Officials decided this week that a limited number of NASCAR fans would be in attendance at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Confederate flags, however, are banned. […]
Kyle Busch isn’t used to waiting this long to win a NASCAR Cup Series race, and the streak could end at Sunday’s Dixie Vodka 400. At least that is what I am using my One Bet, $100 on in backing Busch to win at 5/1. Busch is just to good […]
