She was a member of Benjamin’s state championship soccer team in March — with Tiger Woods and mom Elin Nordegren in the stands cheering her and her teammates on to victory.

And here is a fun fact: Sam Woods’ state track appearance will be exactly 12 years in time and 9 miles in distance from the second round of the 2013 Players Championship, Tiger Woods’ second Players victory.

Tiger Woods and his ex-wife, former model Elin Nordegren, have publicly cheered for their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, at her various sport events for the Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Along with Sam and Charlie Woods, Kai Madison Trump, daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa Trump, also attends the Benjamin School.

Sam Alexis Woods was born June 18, 2007, to golf legend Tiger Woods and former model Elin Nordegren. She’s a senior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, Florida.

In news interviews, she’s mentioned avoiding a professional career in golf because as a child, the tournaments meant long absences away from her father. Her choice sport has been soccer and she plays on The Benjamin School’s girls’ soccer team.

Her brother, Charlie Axel Woods, also attends and plays golf at the Benjamin School. Born Feb. 8, 2009, in Florida, Charlie Woods helped his varsity golf team win a state title when he was a freshman.

Tiger Woods Hits Stunning New Low as Justin Leonard Surpasses

Tiger Woods Hits Stunning New Low as Justin Leonard Surpasses the Legendary Champion in Unexpected Twist

For the first time in nearly three decades, Tiger Woods has been surpassed in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) by a familiar name in Justin Leonard, as the 15-time major winner slips below the Top 1500.

This quiet but telling moment arrives as Woods continues to battle physical setbacks and limited tournament appearances, further clouding the outlook of a once-promising comeback as the retirement question continues to loom large.

He now sits at a career-low 1,551st in the OWGR-an unimaginable position for the man who once held the top spot for a record 683 weeks, including a stretch of 281 consecutive weeks.

Meanwhile Leonard‘s performance comes off the back of his T59 at the British Open, where he made his first cut in a major since 2014 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland and fired rounds of 70-74-70-73 to finish tied for 59th at 2-over par.

READ MORE : Tiger Woods: Charlie Woods Shines in Prestigious Dallas Amid

“To come over at my experience, and age, and make the cut is pretty special,” Leonard said after the event. “Sometimes you can almost throw the yardage book out the window.”

The 53-year-old’s resurgence sparked an enormous leap in the rankings, climbing from 4,689th to 1,436th, and earning him $41,550 in prize money. It also broke a 28-year trend in which he had trailed Tiger in the world standings.

Charlie Woods

Leonard‘s return to relevance is a reminder of his once-formidable standing in the game. Back in 1997, he captured the Open Championship at Royal Troon with a brilliant final-round 65, claiming victory by three strokes over Darren Clarke and Jesper Parnevik.

That Sunday, he recorded six birdies on the front nine alone during his final round, asserting his name among golf’s elite. Now, decades later, his strong play at Portrush marks a full-circle moment.

Meanwhile Woods continues to confront his fitness limitations. Since his emotional win at the 2019 Masters, he has struggled to remain competitive, often withdrawing from events due to physical discomfort.

Is Scheffler the new Tiger Woods? Scottie weighs in

Meanwhile Woods continues to confront his fitness limitations. Since his emotional win at the 2019 Masters, he has struggled to remain competitive, often withdrawing from events due to physical discomfort.

Tiger woods

The current torchbearer of dominance in men’s golf, Scottie Scheffler, continues to draw inevitable comparisons to Woods. However, Scheffler downplayed such talk after his latest win at Royal Portrush:

“I think these comparisons are a bit exaggerated,” Scheffler said. “Tiger has won 15 majors, I’m stuck at four.

“I’ve only come a quarter of the way there. He was an inspiration to me, a special talent.

“But he’s unique.”

“Gervonta Davis Breaks the Silence: ‘Tank’ Eyes Knockout Return

“Gervonta Davis Breaks the Silence: ‘Tank’ Eyes Knockout Return Amid Rumors, Rivals, and Redemption”

Gervonta “Tank” Davis, boxing’s knockout king and one of the sport’s most electrifying figures, is once again the name on everyone’s lips — and for good reason. After months of silence following his legal troubles and time away from the ring, the unbeaten WBA lightweight champion is gearing up for a thunderous return that could shake the boxing world to its core.

With a pristine record of 29-0, including 27 brutal knockouts, Davis remains one of the most feared punchers in the sport. Now, as whispers swirl about potential mega-fights — including rumored clashes with names like Shakur Stevenson, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and even a crossover showdown with Manny Pacquiao — Davis is making it clear: he’s ready to remind the world why he’s called “Tank.”

A Comeback Clouded in Mystery

Since his dominant stoppage win over Ryan Garcia in April 2023, Davis has kept a relatively low profile. Legal issues and personal matters put his career briefly on hold, but sources close to his camp now confirm that Davis is back in full training, hungry, focused, and preparing for an explosive end to 2025.

Social media posts and cryptic messages have only fueled speculation, with fans and pundits alike trying to decipher who might be next in the firing line. Will it be a long-awaited showdown with Shakur Stevenson? Could a rematch with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz be on the cards? Or is Davis aiming even higher?

The Road to Undisputed?

The lightweight division is arguably the most stacked in boxing, and Davis sits right at the heart of it. With Devin Haney having moved up in weight and the WBA title in Davis’ grasp, the path to undisputed status has never looked more promising. Promoters have hinted that talks with Top Rank and Matchroom are ongoing, with “multiple offers on the table.”

RELATED : This Is Suicide for Him”Gervonta Davis Dares to Call Out a Legend

“Gervonta knows what’s at stake,” said a close associate. “He’s not just fighting for belts anymore — he’s fighting for legacy.”

Public Redemption and Private Resolve

Davis’ time away from the sport has been shadowed by controversy. Yet fans have remained loyal, and Davis appears determined to repay that support with performances that speak louder than headlines.

Gervonta davis

“I’ve made mistakes,” Davis reportedly told his team during a private meeting. “But when I come back — it’s all business. No distractions. No games.”

That quiet but firm statement mirrors the fighter’s in-ring style — calculated, powerful, and often devastating.

Rivals Lining Up

The list of fighters eager to test themselves against “Tank” is long and growing. Shakur Stevenson recently reignited tensions by questioning Davis’ resume and calling for a unification bout. Meanwhile, Vasiliy Lomachenko — the former pound-for-pound king — has expressed interest in one final run, with Davis firmly in his sights.

Even rising star Frank Martin and Cuban technician Andy Cruz have been floated as future opponents.

Yet perhaps the most tantalizing rumor involves a possible clash with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao — a fight that, while unlikely, has captured the public imagination. Could Tank Davis be the man to officially end the Pacquiao era, or would the Filipino icon have one last shock left in him?

Anthony joshua

What Comes Next?

An official announcement is expected in the coming weeks, with Barclays Center, Las Vegas, and even Saudi Arabia being considered for his return fight. Wherever it happens, one thing is certain: when Gervonta Davis steps back between the ropes, the boxing world will be watching.

With speed, power, and star power in abundance, “Tank” Davis isn’t just back — he’s on a mission. Whether it’s for redemption, glory, or undisputed greatness, the next chapter of his career could be the most explosive yet.

One thing’s for sure: When Tank rolls through, someone’s going to sleep.

Raducanu Storms into Washington Quarter-Finals with Dominant Win Over Naomi Osaka Ahead of US Open Return

Emma Raducanu delivered a statement performance at the Mubadala Citi DC Open, overpowering former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-2 to book her spot in the quarter-finals in Washington, D.C. The 2021 US Open champion showed sharp form as she builds momentum for her highly anticipated return to Flushing Meadows next month.

Raducanu, now set to face Greece’s Maria Sakkari — who edged out Emma Navarro 7-5, 7-6 — will continue her US Open preparations live on Sky Sports as she eyes another deep run on American hard courts.

The emphatic win not only strengthens Raducanu’s title hopes in D.C. but also sees her reclaim the British No. 1 ranking from Katie Boulter. After a third-round exit at Wimbledon dropped her to 46th in the world, Raducanu now climbs back on top among British women.

“I knew I had to be sharp,” Raducanu said in her post-match interview. “Naomi’s a four-time Slam winner and former world No. 1. She’s incredibly dangerous, especially on hard courts. I’m proud of how I managed my service games and handled the conditions.”

Emma Raducanu

Raducanu seized control early, breaking Osaka in the fifth game of the first set after a costly double fault. She consolidated the break with a love hold, then closed out the set in just 38 minutes following a long forehand error from Osaka.

She continued her dominance into the second set, breaking Osaka immediately and fending off a break point to extend her lead to 3-1. Another Osaka double fault handed Raducanu a 4-1 advantage, and the Briton never looked back.

Raducanu saved a break point with a powerful first serve before converting her third match point to seal the victory. She ended the match with a commanding 76% win rate on her first serve and a solid 61% on her second, compared to just 45% from Osaka. The Japanese star struggled with inconsistency throughout, committing seven double faults and failing to capitalize on either of her two break chances.

With her sights now set on Sakkari, Raducanu looks poised and confident as she aims to reignite the spark that lit up the 2021 US Open.

Unexpected He Would’ve Taken Crawford Out Cold, Oscar De La Hoya Sends Shockwaves Through Boxing World, Claims This Unexpected Former Rival,  Not Floyd Mayweather — Would’ve Taken Terence Crawford Out Cold

Oscar De La Hoya believes that the best version of Manny Pacquiao would knock out Terence Crawford.

In 2008, in the final fight of his career, De La Hoya was stopped by Pacquiao, the only time in his career that he was beaten before the final bell.

The result made Pacquiao an instant superstar and he then pushed on to defeat more big names including Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto.

Terence Crawford: De La Hoya would put his focus into Golden Boy Promotions, and he quickly became one of the most powerful men in boxing outside the ropes as he staged many huge shows and guided multiple young fighters.

Canelo Alvarez was one of those boxers, and although their relationship would come to a bitter end, the Mexican icon still remains one of the biggest names in boxing today.

“Oh at their prime? Asked De La Hoya when speaking to Mail Sport Boxing .

“Yeah [Manny] Pacquiao, knockout.”

Roger Federer’s Prophetic Wimbledon Warning, How a Rising Star

Roger Federer’s Prophetic Wimbledon Warning, How a Rising Star Foretold Tim Henman’s Heartbreak

Roger Federer is the ultimate embodiment of a tennis legend — he came, he saw, and he conquered the sport like few others in history. With 20 Grand Slam titles to his name, including a record-breaking eight Wimbledon crowns, the Swiss maestro will forever be etched into the fabric of tennis greatness.

But Federer’s rise to superstardom didn’t happen overnight. In fact, it wasn’t until he shocked the tennis world by defeating the great Pete Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001 that the spotlight truly found him. That seismic victory announced the arrival of a new force — yet what happened next remains a lesser-known, bittersweet chapter in tennis lore.

In a twist few remember, it was Tim Henman — Great Britain’s beloved hope — who brought Federer’s fairytale run to an abrupt end. After conquering Sampras, Federer faced Henman and was swiftly eliminated. But what Federer said about Henman in a press conference would later prove eerily accurate.

READ MORE : The Federer Girls About to Make Their Grand Entrance, Roger’s

As British fans dared to dream of a Henman triumph, Federer was asked if he believed this could finally be Henman’s year. His response was cautious — and oddly prophetic:

“Well, it’s going to be very tough for him… He had some tough matches. He plays Goran now, who is very dangerous right now. First of all, he has to get through that one. But then, even tougher opponents are waiting for him. It’s going to be very tough.”

Novak Djokovic

And tough it was.

Henman appeared to be on the brink of destiny. After dominating the third set 6–0 to take a 2–1 lead over wildcard Goran Ivanisevic in the semi-finals, Centre Court seemed poised to witness a long-awaited British breakthrough. But then the skies opened. Rain delays allowed Ivanisevic to reset. Momentum slipped away. The match was eventually lost — and so was Henman’s best shot at Grand Slam glory.

RELATED : Roger Federer’s bold call Why he’s backing Djokovic to

Had Centre Court been equipped with a roof in 2001, history might have taken a different course. But instead, the fates conspired against Henman, and Federer’s warning echoed louder than ever.

Henman would go on to lose four Wimbledon semi-finals, his dream of lifting the trophy never realized. Meanwhile, Federer would soon return — stronger, wiser — and begin a reign that would redefine the sport.

 

That 2001 tournament was Henman’s golden opportunity… and it slipped through his fingers. Just as Federer, even in his early days, predicted.

Heavyweight star blasts Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua matchup as “ridiculous,” says, “AJ is above that…”

Anthony Joshua: The talk about one of the most controversial fights in Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua has not died down yet.

Paul has made some enemies in his time, but has won over stars like Rampage Jackson, who hated the star for beating UFC fighters.

But Joshua seemingly wants to make the fight with Jake Paul, who revealed a serious message AJ sent him about a fight.

While Oleksandr Usyk crushed Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their Wembley showdown last week, we could be seeing an altogether different prospect if the ‘Problem Child’ squares off with AJ.

Dave Allen calls Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua ‘ridiculous’, picks Area champion to be favourite against YouTuber

Even though conversations haven’t slowed, heavyweight favourite Dave Allen has lambasted the fight because of the influencer’s ability.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Allen said: “Probably a bit late with this one, but I’m talking about it today, ridiculous, southern area cruiserweight champion is actually, I think, Lewis Oakford, who Pat stopped in a round.

Anthony joshua

“Now, Jake Paul is around that level. Oakford v Jake Paul, who would win? I’d make Oakford the favourite actually. I’d make him the favourite against Jake Paul.”

“Now imagine me saying he’s going to box Anthony Joshua, you’d say what the f – – -k you on about,” he continued.

“Jake Paul, I don’t think, is as good as him; he only fought one active pro fighter, and he lost.”

The loss against Tommy Fury saw the 28-year-old go back to what he knew in the form of Nate Diaz, but then compete against two club fighters to have more professionals on the record.

In his honest opinion, the ‘White Rhino’ can’t see the fight materialising in the near future.

He explained: “Him and Joshua, I don’t think it will happen, I think Anthony Joshua will see himself as above that; he has got all the money in the world anyway.”

RELATED : Jake Paul Vs Deontay Wilder : ‘It’s a Massive Payday,Wilder’s team

After a successful rematch knockout win over Johnny Fisher, the 33-year-old has announced he has now agreed to a fight.

While he was hoping to fight for the British title, plans were scuppered by the British Boxing Board ordering Frazer Clarke to face Jeamie TKV.

Anthony joshua

Earlier in the video, he revealed: “He sent me a bunch of names, five names, and I said ‘f- – -ing hell Ed, I thought I might get a bit of an easy touch’ he said ‘no’, win one of them and your next fight will be a super duper fight.

“October in Sheffield I’ll headline… He will be the favourite, I think it’s a hard fight because he’s a big, powerful man, every time he’s won, bar one, he’s knocked them out.”

It has led to speculation that it could be against Arslanbek Makhmudov, but confirmation on the name will have to wait.

Oscar De La Hoya Names Undisputed Favorite in Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson Showdown

Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson is a fight on every boxing fan’s bucket list. Davis is the WBA lightweight champion while Stevenson currently holds the WBC title in the 135 lbs division. They are the two best consensus lightweight fighters on the planet.

Davis and Stevenson are yet to come to a head despite the latter actively showing interest in the clash. Stylistically, it’s a fantastic spectacle as Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO wins) possesses vicious knockout power.

Stevenson, meanwhile, is a defensive master and is 24-0-0 with 11 KO wins under his belt. In his most recent outing against William Zepeda, Stevenson showed a different side of himself, as the 28-year-old stayed in the pocket and exchanged with Zepeda, but was barely caught with anything significant.

Oscar De La Hoya predicts Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson

A fight between them is a dream and Oscar De La Hoya has now given his take on how he believes the clash could play out. Speaking to AK & Barak, ‘The Golden Boy’ said:

Gervonta davis

They are different styles, obviously. Shakur fights on his backfoot more, fights tall, throws one, two punches. I think ‘Tank’ Davis takes more risk. He goes forward a little more. He has more power. I’m gonna pick ‘Tank’ by brutal knockout.

So what’s next for both fighters? Gervonta Davis was recently arrested on domestic violence charges, putting his planned August 16 rematch against Lamont Roach in doubt. There’s no recent updates regarding the status of that fight.

As for Stevenson, he is coming off a sensational win against Zepeda. He wants the Davis fight, but is open to other options as well. Floyd Schofield is keen to get his shot at Stevenson, while Lamont Roach could also be a possible option.

Tiger Woods: Charlie Woods Shines in Prestigious Dallas Amid Tournament with Proud Dad Tiger Watching

Tiger, for the most part, stood in the thick of the crowd, leaning against a tree or taking a knee when there was a lull in the action.

DALLAS — The few dozen fans, parents and coaches huddled under shade trees and congregated on the patio outside Brook Hollow Golf Club on Monday afternoon, the first day of the U.S. Junior Amateur in Dallas.

Can you blame them? It wasn’t quite 100 degrees, but felt like it, and the gusty south winds were like a furnace fan, blowing down Brook Hollow’s sloped fairways toward the clubhouse.

All it took was a 16-year-old walking to the practice green to liven things up.

Charlie Woods’ arrival for his 2:03 p.m. tee time got the crowd venturing into the sun near the 10th tee, his first hole of the day. And if someone didn’t know it was that Woods labeled on the back of his caddie’s vest, they found out by the time Charlie stepped to the tee.

Down to his left, among the gallery of around 100, was a 15-time major winner who looked the part, donning a blue and white striped shirt and blue golf pants.

It’s hard to hide when you’re Tiger Woods.

But aside from being Tiger, he wasn’t much different than the other parents and supporters Monday at the biggest junior golf tournament in the world. He walked alongside Charlie’s threesome and looked fine doing it, with no apparent hobble or limp from the Achilles surgery he underwent in March. And even with Charlie’s group gathering the biggest gallery — and one of the few, if any, that required the USGA staff to deploy ropes to keep crowds at a distance — Tiger wasn’t hounded by fans.

Charlie Woods

“Is that him?” the occasional fan would whisper, and then snap a quick picture.

But Tiger, for the most part, stood in the thick of the crowd, leaning against a tree or taking a knee when there was a lull in the action.

It wasn’t the best day for Charlie, who struggled to an eight-over 43 on his front nine and finished 11-over for the day. Wayward shots off the tee got him off track early in the round, but he steadied things a bit down the stretch, and nearly holed out for eagle on his final hole.

But only a handful of golfers put together a solid round at a windy Brook Hollow, which was one of two courses hosting stroke play rounds Monday (Trinity Forest being the other). Of the 28 players under par in the tournament Monday, only four of them played at Brook Hollow.

RELATED : Shock Exit, Charlie Woods Stunned in Early Departure from

One of Woods’ playing partners, Vanderbilt signee Michael Riebe, explained how difficult the conditions could be, even when playing well.

“It was a battle all day,” said Riebe, who battled to one-over to position himself within the projected cut line heading to Trinity Forest.

Charlie Woods

Riebe was two-over after nine, then slipped to three-over after a bogey on No. 2 (his 11th hole). But he took advantage of the Par 5 fifth, hitting his second shot to the far left side of the green and making a long putt for eagle. On his final hole, No. 9, Riebe missed the fairway and missed the green left, but got up and down for par.

“It was just really hard to be decisive (at Brook Hollow),” Riebe said. “You really have to commit to a certain line and a club, because the wind switches all the time. And with the wind blowing so much, it really challenges your focus. The heat — everything about it was hard.”
