From Sergio García’s Champions Dinner menu at The Masters to historic wins in European basketball and controversies in football, the sports world is buzzing with activities as major events like the Paris Olympics and NFL season in São Paulo approach.
Sergio García selected the menu for the Champions Dinner at The Masters, featuring dishes like Basque ribeye and turbot. Rickie Fowler won the Masters’ par-three tournament recently, a feat that has been challenging to pair with a main Masters victory since no golfer has won both in the same year in a long time. Leicester City currently leads the Championship and is tied with another club for the most English second-tier titles, each having won seven.
In Scottish football, Rangers have accused Dundee of violating rules. The London Lions made history by becoming the first British team to win a European basketball trophy. England footballer Rachel Daly has retired from international duty, notable for her long tenure with the Houston Dash.
The upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Paris will mark a first by awarding prize money to track and field gold medalists. The NFL season is set to commence in São Paulo, which presents unique challenges for the organisers. With UFC 300 around the corner, anticipation builds over which fighter will feature prominently. The Grand National is also set to run this weekend, drawing in a significant number of entries.
At the Masters at Augusta National, world number one Scottie Scheffler and Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard are highlighted as top contenders, with Scheffler tied for the lead at six-under alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Max Homa. Rory McIlroy seeks a turnaround after a disappointing round, and Jon Rahm is behind by 11 shots. Tiger Woods continues his impressive streak, making his 24th consecutive cut and is set to play next with England’s Tyrrell Hatton.
