LOS ANGELES — It's time for the final event of the PGA Tour's west coast swing. 

The Genesis Invitational kicks off on Thursday from Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, marking the second straight signature event on Tour. The Tiger Woods-hosted tournament marks the final one before the Tour heads to Florida for a month and gears up for The Players Championship. 

Like it is every time he's in the field, Scottie Scheffler will be the man to beat. The top-ranked golfer in the world has racked up three straight top-four finishes on Tour this season, starting with his blowout win at The American Express last month. He was briefly tied for the lead last last week at Pebble Beach, too, but couldn't quite overcome a rough opening round. Scheffler is, naturally, a +300 favorite to win at BetMGM.

Rory McIlroy is back for a second straight start on Tour. He finished T14 last week, though was five shots back of winner Collin Morikawa. Tommy Fleetwood, Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele are among the other big names in the field this week.

If Scheffler can put together a full week, he's already proven that he's nearly impossible to beat. Even if he slips up early, recent history shows he'll likely find a way to be in contention come Sunday. 

Here's everything you need to know to keep up with the Genesis Invitational, and how much money is up for grabs this week.

Former Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore is going to get an evidentiary hearing next month.

A judge granted Moore’s motion for the hearing Tuesday, which will allow his lawyer to challenge the basis for his arrest in their quest to have the case thrown out, according to The Athletic. That hearing is currently set for March 2.

Moore’s attorney argued in court Tuesday that a detective did not disclose that the alleged victim in the case had worked closely with him within the Michigan football program. That, his attorney argued, presented a one-sided picture that was used to establish probable cause for his arrest in the first place.

“Judge Simpson got it right in this motion, and due process matters,” Moore’s attorney Ellen Michaels said. “Coach Moore maintains his innocence, and the truth will come out.”

Moore was fired in December and then arrested hours later in a massive scandal. The university fired him for cause after it said he “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.” He was eventually charged with third-degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. Officials said that Moore grabbed butter knives and kitchen scissors at the woman’s house after he was fired and threatened to take his own life.

In court Tuesday, Michaels argued that a detective told a court magistrate only that the alleged victim had been in a romantic relationship with Moore, not that the alleged victim also worked for the Michigan football program and needed to communicate with Moore regularly. That meant that repeated communication from Moore to the alleged victim, Michaels argued, may not actually constitute stalking.

Michigan reportedly received a tip in October that Moore had been in a relationship with the alleged victim, though they initially denied it. Officials then said that the woman broke up with Moore and came forward to the university in December to reveal the yearslong relationship. 

Prosecutor Kati Rezmierski argued Tuesday that disclosing the working relationship would not have altered the underlying facts that justified Moore’s arrest, per the report. Rezmierski cited messages that Moore sent after his firing, including allegedly, “I hate you,” and “My blood is on your hands,” as evidence of the stalking.

“On Dec. 10, as was sworn to by detective Welker, there is more than sufficient probable cause for the issuance of a warrant that includes stalking,” Rezmierski said. “That’s my position.”

Moore had been Michigan’s offensive coordinator under previous head coach Jim Harbaugh, though he was promoted to take over for Harbaugh before the 2024 season. He spent two seasons as the team’s head coach. Michigan has since hired Kyle Whittingham as its next head coach.

Tyreek Hill is officially a free agent, putting him in an unfamiliar position for the first time in his career.

So, what’s next for the star wide receiver?

The Miami Dolphins officially released Hill on Monday, ending a four-season run in which the franchise bet big on him being a key piece to pair with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Ultimately, that didn’t work out. The Dolphins failed to win a single playoff game during his time in South Florida, continuing a drought that dates back to the 2000 season.

Hill went down with a devastating knee injury early this past season, too, including a dislocated knee. Hill’s agent said Monday that he’s “progressing well” in his rehab and will be ready to play at some point next season, and Hill vowed to return.

But who is in play for Hill next season? Yahoo Sports’ “Inside Coverage” podcast discussed a couple of possibilities Monday.

"He still has that speed. Even if he's 80% of what he was, he's still going to be one of the faster players in the NFL," Yahoo Sports senior betting analyst Ben Fawkes said. "So I think he can be a useful piece for a contender, but also at what price is the big question too."

Kansas City Chiefs

The first landing spot is obvious. The Chiefs are the easiest match for Hill because his career began in Kansas City, and he won a Super Bowl ring there. He appeared to give a nod of approval on social media of the Chiefs' recent re-hiring of Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator.

But Hill’s usage in Kansas City may not be what he’s used to.

"Is [Hill] willing to accept a lesser role if that's what he is right now? Let's say the Chiefs, right? Well, is he their No. 1 [wideout]? No, that's probably Rasheed Rice, who has his own set of baggage,” Yahoo Sports NFL senior reporter Frank Schwab said. “And is he their speed guy? Well, no, that's probably Xavier Worthy. What role is he willing to accept? How much money is he willing to accept?"

There are, naturally, a lot of questions to be answered there. But Hill would be a solid weapon for the Chiefs, who just missed the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade.

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo appears hellbent on doing just about anything possible to help lift quarterback Josh Allen over the postseason hump and to a Super Bowl. That included jettisoning a successful head coach in Sean McDermott in favor of offensive coordinator Joe Brady earlier this offseason.

Hill could be an easy add for a team needing an extra option. Khalil Shakir was their leading receiver last year with just 719 receiving yards, while tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox were second and third.

"They need that veteran piece," podcast host Andrew Siciliano. "They need that deep threat. They need a guy who down the field — I'm sorry, Brandin Cooks — can attack that football or just run away from the guy closest to him. So he doesn't have to have a contested catch there to win a playoff game in Denver."

Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers could be a great fit for Hill for multiple reasons. He’d get to pair up with Justin Herbert, who has statistically been a top tier quarterback during his first six seasons in the league even if the team has struggled at times. The Chargers have plenty of money to pay Hill, too, as they’re sitting with the third-most salary cap space in the league this offseason.

Oh, and Mike McDaniel is now the Chargers’ offensive coordinator after he was fired by the Dolphins earlier this offseason. Reuniting with his former head coach on the other side of the country feels like it would make things even easier for Hill coming off of his injury.

New England Patriots

Sure, the Patriots reached Super Bowl LX this past season. But something was missing, and that was very evident in the final game as the Seahawks cruised to the dominant win in the Bay Area.

Hill could easily step into New England and help young quarterback Drake Maye as he enters his third season in the league. Pairing Hill with fellow star Stefon Diggs, who racked up 1,013 receiving yards last season, and tight end Hunter Henry, might just be the boost the team needs to get over the hump. 

Las Vegas Raiders

Now this may not be Hill's first choice, considering the state of the Raiders in recent years. But there are plenty of reasons why it would work. 

The Raiders are under new leadership once again this season with Klint Kubiak coming in as their head coach. The franchise has the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, too, which they will presumably use on Indiana quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. Getting Mendoza a veteran like Hill right away in his career, along with young running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers, would be huge early on in his career. 

Oh, and the Raiders have money to spend. That'd be nice for Hill, too.

Lindsey Vonn is finally back in the United States.

The skier, who has undergone several surgeries in Italy after her devastating crash early in the Milan Cortina Olympics, revealed on social media Monday night that she had made it back home to the United States.

While she’s not yet been on her feet since the crash, Vonn said being “back on home soil feels amazing.”

The 41-year-old fractured her left leg just 13 seconds into her downhill race earlier in the Olympics in a massive crash. She had to be airlifted off the course and ended up needing four surgeries in Italy.

Vonn revealed after her last procedure that she was preparing to return to the United States. Vonn may need to undergo further surgeries, as well.

Vonn retired from the sport in 2019, but opted to return in 2024 after undergoing a knee replacement. She said her body “felt so good” after that procedure, and she wanted to return for the Games in Cortina D’Ampezzo, the site of her first World Cup podium and the place where she’s won a record 12 World Cup races. But a week before the Opening Ceremony, Vonn crashed into a barrier training in Switzerland and had to be airlifted off the course. She completely tore her ACL. Despite that injury, Vonn competed in the Olympics anyway.

Vonn has won three Olympic medals in her career. Her time competing professionally, however, is almost certainly over.

"She's 41 years old, and this is the end of her career," her dad, Alan Kidlow, said last week. "There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it."

Even though Vonn still has a long recovery ahead of her, she’s finally back in the United States. Considering how rough her crash was, that’s a major milestone and should help her significantly.

Iowa State looks like it's fully back on track.

The Cyclones, after a rough loss in Fort Worth early last week, have now won back-to-back top-10 matchups in the Big 12 in the span of just three days.

No. 6 Iowa State rallied from a double-digit hole in the second half to knock off No. 2 Houston 70-67 at Hilton Coliseum on Monday night. That got the Cyclones to 23-3 on the season and handed Houston just its second loss in Big 12 play.

The Cyclones opened the game on a 15-5 run on Monday night, but ended up taking just a three-point lead into halftime. Emanuel Sharp scored all 16 of his points in the first half to keep Houston in it after he went 4-of-7 from behind the arc.

Houston came out of the break hot, though, and took control of the game almost instantly. They went on an 18-6 run to open the second half, which included a mini 9-0 burst, and shut the Cyclones down offensively in a very stark contract from the first 20 minutes. It very much looked like Houston was poised to run away with it.

But, after going 1-of-11 from behind the arc in the second half, Iowa State finally responded. Jamarion Batemon drilled a wide-open 3-pointer to put the Cyclones in the lead again, and then Nate Heise followed it up with one of his own from the corner just moments later to keep the Cyclones up by two.

While Houston had one last look to tie it up, after Chris Cenac blocked Joshua Jefferson at the rim on the other end, Cenac missed a 10-footer that fell right into Blake Buchanan’s hands under the rim in the final seconds. That was enough to send the Cyclones, who ended the game on an extended 17-4 run, to the three-point win.

Kingston Flemings led Houston with 22 points and five rebounds after he went 9-of-15 from the field. Milos Uzan added 11 points to go with Sharp’s 16 first-half points. The loss snapped a six-game win streak for the Cougars, who will have to turn around and take on No. 4 Arizona and No. 8 Kansas in their next two games. 

Jefferson led Iowa State with 12 points and six rebounds, though he went just 1-of-5 from behind the arc. Heise added 11 points off the bench, and Buchanan added 10 points. Iowa State was fresh off a nearly 20-point win over No. 9 Kansas on Saturday. The Cyclones have an equally rough finish to their season, too, including a stop at No. 23 BYU on Saturday and games against No. 13 Texas Tech and Arizona.

Though Monday night's win will be a huge boost for the Cyclones, especially after their bad loss at unranked TCU last week, the Big 12 is still very much up for grabs. They still have a ways to go, but the Cyclones have played themselves right back into the mix to claim what would be their first regular-season conference title since 2001.

The franchise tag window is here, and there are several big names to keep an eye on as the offseason gets going.

While there are plenty of players who could pick up the tag over the next two weeks, it’s unclear how many actually will get the franchise tag. Last offseason, only two players — Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith — were franchise tagged. The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly already planning to use the tool, so we’re halfway to reaching last year’s mark.

Here’s everything you need to know, and who to watch out for, during the franchise tag window.

What dates is the franchise tag window open?

The franchise tag window opens on Tuesday, Feb. 17 and runs until 4 p.m. ET on March 3.

What are the franchise tag rules?

During this two-week window, teams are allowed to tag one player who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. That would then keep that player with the team for the 2026 season.

Top franchise tag candidates for 2026

George Pickens, WR, Dallas Cowboys

This is an easy one, and a move the Cowboys have been planning to do for quite some time.

Pickens is coming off the best season of his career in 2025, his first with the Cowboys after being traded there from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pickens had 1,3429 yards and nine touchdowns on 93 catches last season alongside star CeeDee Lamb. The Cowboys will have the second-most expensive wide receiver duo in the league next season when the deal is done. The Cowboys have made it clear they want Pickens on a long-term contract, too.

While negotiations on that deal could take some time, the Cowboys aren’t going to risk losing Pickens to free agency this offseason.

Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets

The Jets may want to spend their money elsewhere this offseason amid yet another rebuild, but Hall would be a great franchise tag option for them. That is, if they want to keep him.

Hall racked up a career-high 1,065 rushing yards with five total touchdowns last season, his fourth in the league. The former Iowa State star was easily the most consistent part of New York’s offense amid a 3-14 campaign, and he may be the top running back in the free agent market this offseason. There will undoubtedly be interest for him, and Hall would get paid if he left.

But Hall, remember, was a big name to watch at the trade deadline. So who knows if the team even wants to utilize this option.

Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons

Pitts looked significantly better last season, much more like the dominant tight end he was during his rookie campaign. He had 928 yards and a career-high five touchdowns on 88 catches, and was a very reliable piece for the Falcons’ offense that lost both quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and wide receiver Drake London due to injuries.

But Pitts has been underwhelming for much of his career. Outside of his first and most recent season, Pitts has largely failed to live up to the expectations that came with being the No. 4 overall draft pick.

If the Falcons’ new leadership still isn’t sure about committing to Pitts, tagging him for one final season might be a good move. The Falcons can then revisit his long-term future with the organization this fall.

Odafe Oweh, LB, Los Angeles Chargers

Oweh looked like a different player once he landed with the Chargers ahead of the trading deadline. Oweh had 7.5 sacks and 28 total tackles in just 12 games, and he had three total sacks and a pair of forced fumbles in L.A.’s playoff loss in New England. He seemed to be a very good fit for a Chargers defense that struggled frequently last fall.

The Chargers have a lot of money to spend this offseason, too, so securing Oweh could be a very easy move if the two sides can’t agree to a long-term deal. But letting Oweh walk after his revival of sorts feels like something the Chargers need to avoid.

Daniel Jones, QB, Indianapolis Colts

This may not even be necessary, but it’s something to look out for. Both the Colts and Jones have made it clear that they want to reunite next season after Jones’ career-best start with the franchise last fall. He’s currently recovering from a torn Achilles he went down with in December, but said he expects to be ready for training camp.

If the Colts use the tag on Jones — they’ve used it only once in the past decade — expect it to be a short-term option before a real extension is reached.

What players have received the franchise tag so far?

None

Austria only needed two jumps on Monday night after all to claim a gold medal in Predazzo, Italy.

The Austrians claimed the men's super team large hill ski jump on Monday after the event was canceled early due to a large snowstorm that worked its way into the area. Conditions on the course got very bad out of nowhere during the third round of the competition, and officials ended up wiping the round altogether — as several teams had yet to make their third and final jumps. 

So, since Austria was in the lead after the second round, they took the gold medal. 

The Austrian duo of Jan Hoerl and Stephan Embacher finished with 558.7 points to win the event, just more than 20 points ahead of Poland. Norway then finished in third, less than half of a point ahead of Germany. 

The American pair of Kevin Bickner and Tate Frantz ended up in eighth with a score of 520.2.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown had a brand event he was hosting shut down on Saturday night by Beverly Hills police over what they said was a permit issue.

But on Sunday, following the All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome in Southern California, Brown completely disputed a statement that Beverly Hills police released about the incident.

"I'm offended by Beverly Hills by the statement they put out, like we applied for something and didn't get it, and we did it anyway [and] we were insubordinate," Brown said, via ESPN. "I know how to follow the rules. I'm smart enough to follow the guidelines. It just seemed like somebody didn't want whatever we had going on to go on because out of everybody that was doing something, it seemed like I was the only one that gets shut down."

Brown had planned several events at a mansion in the Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills on Saturday, according to The Boston Globe, including a networking event and a panel discussion. But on Saturday night, police walked on stage at the panel to shut it down. At least seven police cars were parked outside to try and get the crowd of about 200 people to disperse.

On Sunday, before the All-Star Game, the City of Beverly Hills released a statement saying that an “event permit had been applied for and denied” due to previous violations at the event address. Further specifics aren't known.

“Despite the fact that the permit was denied, organizers still chose to proceed with inviting hundreds of guests knowing that it was not allowed to occur. BHPD responded and shut down the unpermitted event,” the city said, in part.

Brown said on Sunday that the event was being hosted at Oakley founder Jim Jannard’s house. Brown has a sponsorship with Oakley, and said that the city’s statement about a permit “was not true.”

"We didn't need a permit because the owner of the house, that was his space. We were family friends,” Brown said. “He opened up the festivities to us so we didn't have to. We never applied for one. ... I didn't have to pay for the house or anything. They just opened it up. I had to pay for the build out, but it was hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted for an event that was supposed to be positive."

Brown posted a video of his interaction with a Beverley Hills police officer on social media on Saturday, and said he felt like “we’re being targeted.”

Brown was asked directly whether he felt the move was racially motivated on Sunday night.

“All I'm going to say is that everybody else that did something in activation, [there] seemed to be no issues," Brown said. "It was 7 p.m. It wasn't 10 p.m., it wasn't 11 p.m., it wasn't [midnight]. [It was] 7 p.m. ... We're doing a panel. We're doing stuff that's positive. There was nobody that was inconvenienced. [We weren't] blocking traffic.

“It's All-Star weekend, it's Saturday night and it's 7 p.m. What are we talking about?"

As for Jannard, Brown said he was considering filing a lawsuit against the city. The incident, Brown said, meant “hundreds of thousands of dollars lost down the toilet.”

"The owner seemed like he was pretty upset," Brown said. "He wants to file a lawsuit because it's his house. They've done multiple events there and there's never been an issue. He's done four or five events even that week, he said, and it was never an issue."

Former Washington Commanders offensive lineman Tre’ Johnson died on Sunday, the team announced.

He was 54.

Further specifics are not yet known, though Johnson’s wife shared on social media that he had died “suddenly and unexpectedly” during a family trip after recent health issues.

“If you know Tre' you know what a devoted and loving father he was to his children,” his wife, Irene, wrote in part. “Tre' lived for his kid’s sports activities and supported them through every practice and game until he took his last breath. He shared his passion for Frenchie’s and riding his motorcycle with me and his fellow biking buddies.”

Johnson spent most of his NFL career in Washington after the franchise selected him with the No. 31 overall pick in the 1994 NFL Draft out of Temple. He was a staple in the team’s offensive line for years, and he earned his one and only Pro Bowl nod during the 1999 campaign. The team went 10-6 that season and made the playoffs.

Johnson spent one season away from the team in 2001, when he joined the Cleveland Browns, but he appeared in only three games after a right knee injury. He rejoined Washington for one final season in 2002. In total, Johnson appeared in 93 games throughout his nine-year NFL career.

Johnson spent time as a history teacher in the Washington, D.C., area in retirement. His wife, Irene, also worked as a photographer for multiple area news organizations. The couple had four children together.

Providence forward Duncan Powell has been suspended for three games after his role in the massive fight during the Friars’ loss to St. John’s on Saturday.

Powell, the Big East said on Sunday, “engaged in additional combative actions” during the fight. As a result, the conference hit him with a two-game suspension in addition to the automatic one-game suspension for fighting mandated by the NCAA.

Powell was the only player involved in the incident to be assessed additional penalties. He will now miss games against DePaul, Xavier and Creighton, and will be eligible to return on March 4 against Marquette.

Powell was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul after he drilled Bryce Hopkins from behind as Hopkins was going up for a layup early in the second half at Amica Mutual Pavilion on Saturday. That sparked a massive fight that resulted in six of the game’s seven ejections. At one point, Powell even tried to swing on St. John’s forward Dillion Mitchell, though Mitchell ducked just in time.

The seventh ejection came later in the second half after Providence’s Jamier Jones was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul. In total, Jones, Powell and Jaylin Sellers were ejected for Providence. Mitchell, Kelvin Odih, Ruben Prey and Sadiku Ibine Ayo were ejected for St. John’s.

The win for St. John’s pushed the Red Storm to 20-5 on the season. They've now won 11 straight entering Wednesday’s contest at Marquette. Powell has averaged 4.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game this season at Providence. The Friars fell to 11-15 after the loss, which has them in ninth in the Big East standings.

Scottie Scheffler's run came just a bit too early on Sunday afternoon at Pebble Beach. 

With Scheffler watching from the clubhouse, it was instead Collin Morikawa who made it out to claim the first signature event of the PGA Tour season and end his years-long dry spell.

Morikawa fended off a huge group late on Sunday afternoon at Pebble Beach Golf Links to claim the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He posted a 5-under 67 in his final round to get to 22-under on the week, which gave him a one-shot win over the field. The win is Morikawa's seventh of his Tour career, and his first since 2023. 

Though he had a two-shot lead late, Morikawa had to birdie the 18th to claim his win. After a short drive on the par-5, Morikawa landed his second shot just short on the rough after a nearly 20 minute delay in the fairway while Jacob Bridgeman struggled ahead of him to close out his round. 

Morikawa then easily secured a two-putt birdie, despite his ball sitting right on the edge of the thick rough, to finish out his win.

Morikawa vaulted himself into contention with 11 birdies on Saturday. That threw him into a three-way tie for second, two shots back of Akshay Bhatia, entering the final round. He hung around early on a windy, rainy Sunday, too. Morikawa made the turn at 2-under on the day, and then joined the pack at 20-under after a birdie at the 11th. But it was a 30-footer at the par-4 15th that finally sent Morikawa into the solo lead for the first time.

Morikawa followed that up with an 8-foot birdie putt at the 16th, which suddenly gave him a two-shot lead over the field. But that immediately disappeared, after Min Woo Lee birdied above him and then Morikawa bogeyed the 17th when his tee shot on the par 3 landed in the thick rough well left of the green.

But that set up Morikawa's two-putt birdie and his eventual win on the final hole.

Scheffler made a massive, almost historic run on Sunday. The top-ranked golfer in the world started the day eight shots back, and then posted a 9-under 63. That gave him a 19th straight top 10 finish on Tour, and his 18th round of 63 or better on Tour over the past five seasons — which is five more than anyone else has produced over that timespan.

Scheffler joined the leaders at 20-under when he hit the clubhouse, too, thanks to an absolutely ridiculous approach into the par-5 18th as the wind was picking up. That gave him his third eagle of the day. He is now the first golfer in the last four decades to make that many in a single round in this event.

Had it not been for a trio of bogeys, two of which came on the back side, Scheffler may have ran away with the event completely. But his bogeys and early start left plenty of time for the rest of the field to overtake him. Lee birdied the 18th too, however, to get to 21-under — which eliminated Scheffler from contention and made things more complicated for Morikawa briefly. That gave Lee his second-place finish, his best outing on Tour since his inaugural win last season. 

Scheffler finished in a tie for fourth with Tommy Fleetwood, a shot back from Lee. Sepp Straka joined Lee in second after he eagled the final hole, too.

Morikawa's win was the first of his career since he claimed the Zozo Championship in 2023. That came after his British Open win in 2021, which was his second major title. Morikawa only missed three cuts last season and had a pair of runner-up finishes, and the 29-year-old entered this week at No. 19 in the Official World Golf Rankings, but that seventh win continued to elude him. 

But now, after nearly 850 days, Morikawa has finally won again.
