McIlroy: Preserve the Scottish Open amid PGA Tour shake-up

Rory McIlroy says the Scottish Open must remain open to a broad field and not be reduced to a closed 'Championship' event as the PGA Tour plans a ~120-player field with at least $20 million in prize money; the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour and has a £6.7m purse, with it likely staying a Rolex/European Tour event, while Scottie Scheffler emphasizes keeping it in the Championship Series and debates the inclusion of DP World Tour players in the new schedule.

PGA Tour Overhauls to Two-Tier System With Promotion and Playoff Match-Play

The PGA Tour approved a 2028 overhaul that creates a two-tier structure: a top-tier Championship Series (120 players, 36-hole cut, $20 million purses, 23–24 events, Feb–Aug, no sponsor exemptions or Monday qualifiers) and a secondary Challenger Series (144 players, 72 holes, $4 million purses, at least 20 events) with promotion and relegation. Roughly 90 players will retain Championship status while about 20 are promoted from Challenger, with 10 additional exemptions. Playoffs will include match play, and the Tour Championship will rotate to prestigious courses. The fall schedule will feature international events and a domestic last-chance series, with 2027 serving as a transition year and potential shifts to the Korn Ferry path.

Oklahoma Softball Dominates in Game One of WCWS Finals.

The University of Oklahoma's softball team won the opening game of the WCWS Championship Series against Florida State with a score of 5-0, extending their Division-I record winning streak to 52 games. The Sooners are now one victory away from becoming only the second team in history to win three consecutive national titles. The game was delayed twice due to lightning, but OU's patience paid off as they posted their school-record 35th shutout of the season. Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday, and Game 3 (if necessary) will be on Friday.
