    by Andy Martin on 02/05/2026 at 9:47 am

    Former major winner ‘committed to making team golf work’Rebel tour now working on a junior golf initiative, he saysBryson DeChambeau, the two times US Open champion, has denied reports he is seeking a way out of the beleaguered LIV Golf, the rebel series whose future looks bleak after Saudi Arabian backers indicated they are pulling their multibillion-dollar sponsorship at the end of the 2026 season.LIV Golf is seeking to secure fresh backers in the wake of the decision by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) to scrap its $5bn (£3.68bn) investment in golf, as part of a general retreat from sports sponsorship. There is every prospect the 2026 season will prove LIV’s last. Continue reading...

  • Rejuvenated Casemiro heads for Manchester United exit on a high
    by Jamie Jackson on 02/05/2026 at 7:01 am

    The 34-year-old midfielder will leave Old Trafford after conclusively proving high-profile doubters wrongIt was two years ago that Jamie Carragher offered Casemiro a rather withering piece of advice: “Leave the football before the football leaves you.” Fast forward to this season and the Brazilian’s record for Manchester United reads: nine goals (second only to Benjamin Sesko), two assists, and 2,417 minutes played in 31 starts from a total of 32 appearances, with 13 games finished, including seven of the past nine.Consider, too, how the January announcement of Casemiro’s departure from United at the end of the current campaign has led to supporters pleading with the 34-year-old to stay, and that Casemiro is again a midfield first-choice for his national team in the buildup to a World Cup.

  • Cricket’s George Costanza: McCullum makes himself look vital by not turning up | Barney Ronay
    by Barney Ronay on 02/05/2026 at 7:00 am

    England head coach survived Ashes review but going missing for 43% of the county season is straight out of SeinfeldGeorge: Right now I just sit around pretending I’m busy.Jerry: How do you do that?George: I look annoyed. Think about it. When you look annoyed all the time, people think you’re busy. [Rolls his eyes, slaps his forehead, does look busy.]Does anyone remember Brendon McCullum? You know. Baz. It was a thing. People said “Bazball” in parliament. It was probably in the dictionary, one of those new zeitgeisty words, like rofl. Distinguishing marks? Hat. Jawline. A way of standing. Sports socks provocatively splayed on an ornate balcony. Look, it doesn’t really matter. But has anyone actually … seen him? Continue reading...

  • ‘Of course, it crossed my mind’: Frenkie de Jong on refusing to leave Barcelona and his World Cup pain
    by Arthur Renard in Barcelona on 02/05/2026 at 7:00 am

    Midfielder broke a Barça Dutch record last week and is potentially one win from a third league title with team he visited as a teenager for funA warm sun bathes the Barcelona training ground as Frenkie de Jong arrives to chat. The midfielder’s work is done for the day and the Netherlands international is in his comfort zone here, the first team’s longest-serving player, a regular captain and effortlessly fluent in Spanish. It is a far cry from the day just over 10 years ago when he visited the Camp Nou.In late December 2015 De Jong made the most of the Eredivisie’s winter shutdown to take a city break in Barcelona with his now wife, Mikky. He was 18 and days from linking up with Ajax, who had signed him four months earlier but loaned him back to Willem II, and he managed to get tickets for Barcelona v Real Betis. It is an occasion that stuck in his mind. Continue reading...

    by Will Unwin at Elland Road on 01/05/2026 at 10:09 pm

    It was the night all the nerves vanished into the ether, replaced by every track on the Leeds United soundtrack as Premier League survival was all but confirmed.

  • Lando Norris takes Miami GP sprint pole as lightning fears loom over F1 return
    by Giles Richards at the Miami International Autodrome on 01/05/2026 at 9:36 pm

    Sunday storms could affect first F1 race in five weeksMcLaren edges Mercedes’ Antonelli in sprint qualifyingWith Formula One returning after its early season enforced break, the Miami Grand Prix is proving an enticing prospect given most of the teams used the time to work furiously on upgrades to their cars. Many of which are being deployed here. Intriguing enough were it not also for the updated regulations being given their debut outing and the threat of lightning storms on Sunday potentially causing a schedule change.Five weeks have passed since the last round in Japan on 29 March after the Saudi Arabian and Bahrain GPs were cancelled because of the war in the Middle East, a break welcomed by many as an unexpected opportunity to assess their cars, which are still very much a work in progress after the rule changes this season.
