The first signature event of the PGA Tour season is here, and with it comes Rory McIlroy's 2026 debut.

McIlroy is making his first start of the new campaign this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, an event he won last year over Shane Lowry, which marked his first win in a dominant season that also saw him win The Players Championship and the Masters a few months later to complete the career Grand Slam.

Though he's not been on Tour yet in 2026, he has made three starts on the DP World Tour. He finished T3 at the Dubai Invitational last month, and is coming off a T33 finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

McIlroy, however, is not the favorite this week. Not even close. While this elevated event field is the best of the season, Scottie Scheffler is listed as a massive +300 favorite to win on BetMGM. McIlroy is the second-favorite, though back at +1400. The top-ranked golfer in the world ran away with The American Express last month for his 20th career win, and he rallied late after a rough start to finish T3 at the WM Phoenix Open last week. 

Si Woo Kim, Viktor Hovland, Farmers Insurance Open winner Justin Rose, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay are some of the biggest names in the field this week, too. There is no cut, and 700 FedExCup points available to the winner. The tournament also features a $20 million purse, with $3.6 million going to the winner on Sunday.

Here's everything you need to know to keep up with McIlroy, Scheffler and the rest of the field this week at Pebble Beach.

The Winter Games have begun in Italy. From the rink to the slopes, a new generation of stars has emerged to chase gold. We’ll keep you connected to all of the thrilling moments and top stories as we track the medal race each day of the Games.

The United States is up to seven total medals so far in Italy, and will have several opportunities to add to that count in Day 5 of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Jordan Stoltz will attempt to continue his dominant run throughout speed skating in the 1,000 meters, and the women's double luge will have its first ever gold medal awarded at the Olympics later Wednesday. Madison Chock and Evan Bates are back in action with their final ice dancing event. Oh, and Chloe Kim will hit the halfpipe for the first time, too. 

Here are the top five things to watch on Wednesday at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics:

1. Jordan Stoltz looks to defend world record in speed skating

It’s time for Jordan Stoltz to take the ice in Italy. The Team USA speed skating star will open with the 1,000 meters on Wednesday, the event in which he already holds the world record. He made his Olympics debut in Beijing four years ago and finished only 14th in the 1,000 meters, though he’s widely considered a medal favorite every time he takes the ice in these games.

But the 1,000 meter is his best event. Stoltz has five wins at that distance already this season, and has won 14 races in a row in that distance on the World Cup level. Stoltz will also compete in the 500 meters, 1,500 meters and mass start.

2. Chloe Kim hits the halfpipe

Chloe Kim is ready for her first event in Italy. The top name in the sport will open her quest to become the first person to win three straight gold medals in the halfpipe, starting with qualifying Wednesday. Kim was 17 when she won gold in South Korea in 2018, and she backed it up in Beijing four years ago, too. But Kim is now dealing with a torn labrum, which she suffered during training in Switzerland.

If she can get through qualifying, the final of the women’s halfpipe is set for Thursday.

3. U.S. team chasing first ever women’s double luge gold

The women’s doubles luge was added to the Olympics for the first time this year after more than six decades on the men’s side. It’ll be up to Chevonne Forgan and Sophia Kirkby to lead the way for the United States.

The duo, who are the only American women’s pairing, won bronze at the first ever world championship back in 2022. They’ve looked good so far, too, with a top five time in five of their six training runs. But it’s Austria’s Selina Egle and Lara Kipp who are the favorites, as they both lead the World Cup standings and have won three training runs so far.

4. Chock and Bates chasing gold in ice dance

Madison Chock and Evan Bates will enter Wednesday’s ice dance free skate in second place, so they’ll have to rally a bit in order to pull off the gold medal. They trailed France’s Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron by less than half a point after the rhythm dance portion of the competition on Monday.

The married couple are the reigning world champions in the event, and are just days removed from helping the U.S. win a second straight team gold medal. But the individual medal is the last piece they’ve been chasing after a fourth-place finish in Beijing.

5. Can Ryan Cochran-Siegle medal again in Super-G?

All eyes will be on Ryan Cochran-Siegle when he hits the Super-G on Wednesday. He was the only American Alpine skier to win a medal at the Beijing Olympics when he won silver in the event four years ago.

But competition is stiff for Cochran-Siegle to improve on that finish this time around. Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt is the favorite in the event, with already two wins to his name this season. A trio of Austrians have dominated the World Cup season race, too, and Italy’s Giovanni Franzoni is a big name to watch.

He has his work cut out for him, but he is the only returning medalist from Beijing. That has to count for something.

TCU pulled off its biggest win of the season on Tuesday night, and may have saved its chances at reaching the NCAA tournament.

The Horned Frogs survived late to knock off No. 5 Iowa State 62-55 at Schollmaier Arena. It marked just their second win over a ranked opponent all season after a pretty rough run against the top half of the Big 12 conference so far. Naturally, that sparked a huge court storm celebration in Fort Worth.

Though they never led by more than double digits, the Cyclones felt in control of the contest — at least until the final stretch. After mounting a 10-0 run to take the lead back in the second half, Iowa State shut down offensively. The Horned Frogs closed the game on a 12-0 burst of their own, and held the Cyclones to just a single made field goal in the final four minutes, to pull off the seven-point win.

Micah Robinson led TCU with 17 points and six rebounds. Tanner Toolson added 17 points off the bench, too, and was the only other player to hit double figures. TCU went just 5-of-18 from the 3-point line, and missed eight free throws. 

TCU now sits at 15-9 on the season after the win, which was easily its biggest of the year. While it beat Florida early on, the Horned Frogs have dropped every other ranked matchup they've had this season and entered Tuesday having lost six of their last 10. Undoubtedly, their hopes at an NCAA tournament big were dwindling fast. 

Tamin Lipsey led Iowa State with 12 points and five assists, and Joshua Jefferson added 12 points with nine assists and eight rebounds. Iowa State committed 17 turnovers and also only made five 3-pointers in the loss. The Cyclones made it to the free throw line only eight times, compared to the 23 that the Horned Frogs did. 

The loss snapped a five-game win streak for the Cyclones, and came ahead of what is sure to be a rough stretch for them to end the regular season. They'll host No. 9 Kansas next on Saturday, and the Jayhawks are fresh off a win over top-ranked Arizona on Monday night. The Cyclones will then take on No. 3 Houston and No. 22 BYU next week, and still have No. 16 Texas Tech and Arizona waiting for them before the end of the regular season. Though several wins there would make a big difference, Iowa State’s chances at actually securing a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament are suddenly looking significantly slimmer.

TCU, on the other hand, now has a real shot at making a run before the Big 12 tournament next month. With just one ranked game left in the regular season, a strong finish would put the Horned Frogs in position to make the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in the past five seasons. 

Collin Sexton’s feud with the basket at the Barclays Center has turned costly.

The NBA fined the Chicago Bulls guard $35,000 on Tuesday night after he flipped off the hoop during the team's 123-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

Sexton was shooting free throws late in the third quarter, and his first attempt was off the mark. Sexton ended up making his second attempt, but he immediately looked at the rim and raised his left middle finger angrily as he jogged back the other way.

While the “inappropriate gesture” was very brief and didn’t impact the game whatsoever, it will draw a fine from the league every time.

Sexton finished the night with 21 points and five rebounds, going 6-of-8 from the free-throw line. The 27-year-old has averaged 14.4 points and 3.7 assists while shooting better than 48% from the field this season, his eighth in the league.

Monday was just Sexton’s second game with the Bulls. He was dealt there ahead of the trade deadline last week in a deal that sent Coby White to the Charlotte Hornets.

The Bulls have now lost five straight and eight of their last nine games. They will enter Wednesday's game with the Boston Celtics, their final contest before the All-Star break, with a 24-30 record. While there is still time to rally, Sexton and the Bulls are very much on pace to miss the playoffs for a fourth straight season.

A massive fight broke out in the second half of the Charlotte Hornets’ matchup with the Detroit Pistons on Monday night

Things erupted midway through the third quarter of the contest at the Spectrum Center after Hornets forward Moussa Diabate fouled Pistons center Jalen Duren as he was going up for a shot in the middle of the lane. The two got face-to-face after the foul was called, and words were exchanged briefly, before Duren shoved Diabate in the face hard. 

That set Diabate off. He charged at Duren, and things immediately escalated into a huge altercation that took several assistants and officials to break up. Diabate tried to swing at Duren as he was being held back, too, and he even broke away to charge at Duren again.

Eventually, after Diabate was pulled away, Miles Bridges charged at Duren and landed at least one punch. That prompted Isaian Stewart — who wasn't even in the game at the time — to run in off the bench and attack Bridges. A second scrum then moved over toward the team benches while officials then had to separate that group.

Eventually, officials got things back under control. After a long review, Diabate, Bridges, Duren and Stewart were all ejected from the game. The league is sure to assess further penalties in the coming days, too.

The Pistons led 70-62 at the time. The Hornets entered Monday night's contest trying to win their 10th straight game.

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion White was shot in the ankle during an event on Monday morning, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows.

White was at an event on Mission Street in San Francisco early on Monday when an altercation broke out. White is not believed to have been part of that altercation specifically, but he ended up being shot in the ankle. It's unclear what prompted the altercation.

“Keion White was a victim of a shooting and sustained a bullet wound to his ankle this morning in San Francisco," the 49ers said in a statement. "He is currently undergoing surgery at a local hospital. We will provide further updates when appropriate.”

An investigation is ongoing. San Francisco police said only that a "verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business."

The incident took place hours after the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium on the other side of the Bay Area. The stadium sits more than 40 miles away in Santa Clara.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.

Finally, we’re getting a true shakeup in the top 10.

Here’s everything you missed in the 14th week of the regular season, and the latest Associated Press poll.

Arizona leads again as top 10 finally shakes up

Arizona once again retained the No. 1 spot in this week’s poll after a blowout win over Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Wildcats will travel to Allen Fieldhouse for a top-10 matchup on Monday night, however, and then will have to host Texas Tech on Saturday. No. 22 BYU and No. 3 Houston are up next week for them, too, marking a critical stretch for the last undefeated team outside of Miami (Ohio).

Michigan remained at No. 2 this week, too. The Wolverines beat Penn State and Ohio State by more than 20 points each this past week to get to 22-1 on the year.

But that’s where things finally changed. Half of the top 10 from the previous poll lost at least one game over the past week. UConn fell to St. John’s (we’ll get to that) and Duke lost at the end of its rivalry matchup with North Carolina in what ended up being a chaotic scene in Chapel Hill. That ended a 10-game win streak for the Blue Devils, though they held on at No. 4. North Carolina climbed three spots to No. 11. 

Illinois, after getting revenge over Nebraska last week, fell in overtime at Michigan State on Saturday. The Spartans, however, were coming off back-to-back losses — including a bad one at Minnesota — before that win. Oh, and Gonzaga fell at Portland in what was the program’s first win over the Bulldogs since 2014. Portland had lost for of its last five entering that matchup, too. Gonzaga dropped six spots in this week’s poll to No. 12.

It was Houston that moved to No. 3 above Duke, thanks to its road win over AJ Dybantsa and BYU. Iowa State then jumped UConn and moved back into the top five.

Do we need to look at St. John’s again?

St. John's isn't back ... right?

After multiple bad losses to start the season that dropped them out of the national rankings completely, Rick Pitino’s group in New York is suddenly on a nine-game win streak — which it capped with a nine-point win over UConn on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Zuby Ejiofor dropped a 21-point, 10 rebound double-double in that contest, his fifth of the season. That snapped an 18-game win streak for the Huskies, and sent them falling three spots to No. 6 this week.

St. John’s jumped to No. 17 this week as a result of the win. It brought Pitino to 903 wins in his career, too, which has him tied with Roy Williams for third in Division I history. 

While the streak and upset win are both impressive, it’s hard to tell if St. John’s is back where everyone thought it would be just a few months ago. The win over the Huskies was just the first ranked matchup for the Red Storm since late November, and their only win over a ranked opponent all season. There is only one more ranked opponent left on their schedule, too, but it’s a rematch with UConn on the road later this month. This win streak they've been on has been straightforward in a relatively down year for the Big East as a whole. 

Despite the loss, UConn is still very much in control of the Big East. But if St. John’s can keep this streak going through the end of the season, and not get blown out in Storrs in a few weeks, a third battle between the two teams in the Big East tournament could get very interesting next month.

DeMarcus Lawrence was right all along.

Lawrence and the Seattle Seahawks rolled to a win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night in Santa Clara, California. That marked the franchise’s first championship in more than a decade, and the first of Lawrence’s career.

But Lawrence knew that wasn’t going to happen for him with the Dallas Cowboys, the team that selected him with the No. 34 overall pick back in 2014. That’s why, after 11 seasons with the franchise, Lawrence opted for a change in free agency last offseason.

That resulted in him signing a three-year, $32.5 million deal with the Seahawks and, now months later, a Super Bowl ring.

While he wasn’t completely mean to the organization on his way out the door in Dallas, Lawrence didn’t hold back, either.

“Made my home there [in Dallas], my family lives there,” he said in March, in part. “I’m forever gonna be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there.”

Those comments didn't land well in Dallas, either. Former Cowboys star Micah Parsons, who is now with the Green Bay Packers, called them, "clown s**t."

Lawrence ended up with 53 total tackles and six sacks this season with the Seahawks. He earned his fifth Pro Bowl nod, too. The 33-year-old had two total tackles, one of them on his own, and both a pass deflection and a quarterback hit in the team’s 29-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

The Cowboys, after Lawrence left, went 7-9-1 and failed to make the playoffs for a second straight campaign. While the Cowboys have won five championships in the past, the team hasn't been to a Super Bowl since 1996. Though Lawrence undoubtedly would have helped the Cowboys defense this past season, something it desperately needed, he just wanted to move on.

That decision, it turned out, paid off not even a full calendar year later. With the Lombardi Trophy in hand, it's hard to imagine Lawrence has any regrets about that move.
