PGA Tour Merges with LIV Golf, DP World Tour: In a deal reached without the knowledge of many of their golfers, the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and DP World Tour are merging into a single organization. The particulars released so far are vague but Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will be the new entity's "exclusive investor" and its fund governor joins the PGA Tour policy board. An unnamed PGA golfer whose name probably rhymes with Corey Spackelroy told ESPN, "It's insanity. The LIV tour was dead in the water. It wasn't working. Now, you're throwing them a life jacket? Is the moral of the story to just always take the money?"

French Open Boots Doubles Players After Ball Girl Struck by Ball: During a third round French Open doubles match, Miyo Kato and Aldila Sutjiadi were disqualified because Kato unintentionally hit a ball girl while passing a ball to her after a point. The ball girl was caught off guard and she was struck in the neck. She fought tears for 10 minutes after players Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo implored the chair to disqualify their opponents because the girl was injured -- but never checked on her themselves.

I thought Paramount Plus would get the CBSSN games but it doesn't appear that is happening. Looks like I'll only be able to watch the non-CBSSN games live on CFL+.

I watch a lot of tennis and the chairs are annoyingly inconsistent about discipline. Players have broken their tennis rackets in anger on the chair's chair -- while they were sitting in it -- and gotten different treatment. If that isn't an obvious DQ I don't know what is.

If the kid had been treated better from the time the incident occurred, she might've been able to calm down. Instead she got to watch adults argue while the crowd gawked at her for interminable minutes. After a few minutes a staffer came over and huddled with her.
The rule should be that if the chair finds no intent and no anger on the player's part, it should be a minor penalty instead of a DQ.

I have Tennis Channel Plus so I watched the replay to see how this unfolded.
Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo were so concerned about the ball girl being struck that they never walked over to her during the entire 10 minutes she was in the corner crying. They didn't even clap sympathetically with the rest of the crowd when the girl walked off the court.
Their concern began and ended with Kato and Sutjiadi being DQd.

In England old men play walking football. If they can do that surely we can slo-mo run.
In our heads we're much faster than we appear.

The place I feel an NBA game is too long is the final four minutes. There are too many timeouts. Sometimes it drags so much I wish they used the Elam ending.

As long as Pulisic lands somewhere that's still on ESPN+, Peacock or Paramount+ I'm happy.

Welcome to SportsFilter, Law5section2. My EPL fantasy team played so badly this season there will be a total turnover of the roster. I wish I could fire the skipper.

I'm expecting the Heat to bring some of that Florida humidity with them and make Denver sweat. But this will be the Nuggets year.

The link framed last night's game as an impending historic triumph for another Boston franchise and Miami said nah, we like the 8-seed-to-the-Finals story better.

PGA Tour Merges with LIV Golf, DP World Tour
Now the PGA is just as rotten with Saudi money as LIV.
