Former University of Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond announced he is signing with the Cleveland Browns.
Bond went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft after sexual assault allegations, for which he maintains his innocence and says charges will not be pursued.
The Browns receiving corps is currently led by Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

We’re nearly to Week 2 of the NFL preseason and teams now have one game of film in addition to what they’re seeing in practice to assess roster strengths and weaknesses.

The Cleveland Browns may have decided to add another player to the wide receiver room.

Former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond announced on X that he is signing with the Browns. The Longhorns standout went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and is a mid-training camp addition for Cleveland.

‘I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Cleveland Browns for believing in me and allowing me the opportunity to continue my career in the NFL,’ Bond wrote in his post. ‘Football has been my passion since I was six years old, and plying at this level is a blessing I will never take for granted.’

Bond was expected to be a Day 2 pick in the NFL Draft even after a subpar performance at the NFL scouting combine. But Bond turned himself in to the Frisco Police Department for an outstanding warrant for sexual assault in April.

Bond stated in his post that the prosecutor has decided not to pursue charges.

‘I will learn from this experience as I grow in wisdom, character, and faith,’ Bond wrote. ‘On the advice of my attorney, I will not discuss the details of this case, but I want to be clear: from the very beginning I have refuted these allegations and maintained my innocence. I stand firm by that today.’

The deal has not been finalized yet, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Bond played in 13 games as a true freshman for Alabama in 2022. He led the team in receptions a year later with 48 for 668 yards and four touchdowns.

Bond transferred from Alabama to Texas for his final year of college football in 2024. As a Longhorn, he struggled to build rapport with starter Quinn Ewers and had just 34 receptions for 540 yards and five touchdowns. Fellow transfer Matthew Golden became the top receiver down the stretch for the Longhorns and ended up as a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Green Bay Packers.

Despite the drop in production, Bond was viewed as a probable draft pick given his game speed. The off-field allegations kept him from being selected.

For years, conservative groups and corporate leaders argued that the U.S. government would be better if it were run like a business.

For President Donald Trump, who has controlled his own businesses for decades, that looks like taking an increasingly active role in individual corporations’ affairs, from manufacturing to media to tech firms.

And corporations are meeting the demands of a president who is more freely exerting his powers than he did the last time he was in office. At Trump’s urging, Coca-Cola said it would produce a version of its namesake soda with U.S.-grown cane sugar. Paramount paid millions to settle allegations Trump levied against CBS’ venerated “60 Minutes.” Two major semiconductor makers agreed to give the government a cut of their sales in China. The CEO of Intel met with Trump soon after the president called on him to resign.

“It’s so much different than the first term,” said a Republican lobbyist whose firm represents several Fortune 500 companies, who spoke on condition of anonymity to speak candidly. “He’s just acting like a businessman. In his first term, I think he was trying to cosplay as a politician. He’s more comfortable in his own skin, too. He can explain deals better.”

Trump’s role represents a break with past administrations that may have been unwilling or unable, politically, to bring similar pressure to bear on businesses. In the past, small-government conservatives once accused previous Democratic administrations of attempting to “pick winners and losers” by trying to regulate industries. Trump today stands downstream of a bolder right-wing movement that calls for enhanced state intervention in corporate affairs.

Trump has said the corporate concessions are intended to boost the U.S. economy.

And the White House, in a statement, reinforced the idea that Trump’s involved approach to private-sector dealings is a key part of his economic agenda.

“Cooled inflation, trillions in new investments, historic trade deals, and hundreds of billions in tariff revenue prove how President Trump’s hands-on leadership is paving the way towards a new Golden Age for America,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai said.

The Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games has announced a strategic move to sell naming rights to various venues.

This innovative decision is not only a first in Olympic history but also a significant revenue-generating opportunity for the summer games, which are now less than three years away.

The LA28 naming rights deal is a significant departure from the International Olympic Committee’s policy of keeping brand names off arenas and stadiums during the Games. This unique approach, which has already seen two agreements finalized and announced, sets a new precedent in Olympic history: Honda has secured naming rights for the arena that will host volleyball in Anaheim, while Comcast has made a deal for the temporary naming of the venue that will host squash.

“From the moment we submitted our bid, LA28 committed to reimagining what’s possible for the Games,” said LA28 Chairperson and President, Casey Wasserman in a press release. “Today’s historic announcement delivers on that promise, creating the first-ever venue naming rights program in Olympic and Paralympic history while advancing LA28’s mission of a fully privately funded and no-new-build Games. These groundbreaking partnerships with Comcast and Honda, along with additional partners to come, will not only generate critical revenue for LA28 but will introduce a new commercial model to benefit the entire Movement. We’re grateful to the IOC for making this transformation possible.”

As the Summer Olympics return to Los Angeles for the third time – having previously hosted the Games in 1932 and 1984 – the city is set to welcome the best athletes and para-athletes from around the globe to compete on the biggest stage in sports.

When are the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics?

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will begin on Friday, July 14, 2028 and conclude on Sunday, July 30, 2028. This will be the first time the Summer Games return to the United States since Atlanta hosted in 1996.

How to watch the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics

The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Summer Games will be broadcast on NBC and other NBCUniversal networks and will be available to stream on Peacock.

The NFL will continue its social justice messaging for the sixth consecutive season.
Teams can choose from four end zone messages: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love,’ and the new ‘Inspire Change.’

The NFL’s social justice messaging is here to stay.

For the sixth straight season, all 32 teams will display one of four social justice messages in the end zone at each home game. Teams can pick from ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change,’ which is a new addition that replaces the ‘Vote’ stencil from 2024.

Those messages will appear at one end zone, while ‘It Takes All of Us’ continues to be stenciled at the other.

‘We’re working hand-in-hand with players, and alongside our clubs, to amplify player voices and underscore what is most important to them,’ Anna Isaacson, the NFL’s senior vice president of social responsibility, told The Associated Press. ‘For decades, the NFL and its players have been a unifying force in American culture and society that brings people of all cultures and backgrounds together to enjoy America’s most popular sport.

‘This is an honor and responsibility that the league takes seriously, which is why we actively invest in off-field programs and on-field initiatives that promote unity.’

All international games will feature ‘End Racism’ and ‘It Takes All of Us’ in the end zones.

The Philadelphia Eagles have selected ‘Choose Love’ as their season-opener message on Sept. 4 against the Dallas Cowboys and will rotate all four messages throughout the season.

Once again, players can choose to feature one of the five messages on their helmets.

According to the AP, the NFL has provided more than $460 million to dozens of grant partners and hundreds of grassroots organizations through its Inspire Change initiative, benefiting communities in need since 2017. The Inspire Change initiative has supported over 650 nonprofits and 2,100 players and alums, providing matching grants focused on mentorship, workforce development and addressing food insecurity.

Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins will not face misdemeanor battery charges.
The Broward County State Attorney’s Office cited lack of video evidence, independent witnesses, and a delayed report as reasons for not pursuing the case.
The NFL is reviewing the matter and Judkins remains unsigned and unable to participate in training camp.

On Thursday, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office announced they have declined to move forward with a misdemeanor battery charge in the case against the Cleveland Browns’ rookie running back.

Judkins was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on July 12 where he faced a single charge under Florida statute 784.03, relating to ‘touch or strike/battery/domestic violence.’

Barbara M. Driscoll, Assistant State Attorney Domestic Violence Unit, outlined the reasons the prosecution decided against moving forward with the case:

‘This incident was not captured on any video surveillance.’
‘There are no independent witnesses to the incident.’
‘Although the victim had photos showing injuries sustained, there were also videos in that same time frame where no injuries were observed to the victim.’
‘Additionally, the victim’s injuries depicted in the photos could be explained by either account of the incident.’
‘Finally, there was a delayed report of the incident. The delay is problematic as the victim was alone on numerous occasions without the Defendant, had the ability and resources to make the report without his knowledge, but chose not to do so.’

Driscoll said there is ‘no reasonable likelihood of conviction’ and that ‘the case is being declined.’

The NFL stated to the Akron Beacon Journal (part of the USA TODAY Network), “We have been following developments in the matter which remains under review.”

The Browns drafted the former Ohio State and Ole Miss running back with the 36th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Judkins cannot participate in training camp until his contract is signed.

Ulta Beauty and Target said Thursday that they have decided to end a deal that opened makeup and beauty shops in hundreds of Target’s stores.

Shares of Target fell about 2% in early trading, while Ulta’s stock slid about 1%.

In a news release, the companies said the partnership — which also added some of Ulta’s merchandise to Target’s website — will end in August 2026. Target had added more than 600 Ulta Beauty shops to its stores since 2021, according to a company spokesperson. That’s nearly a third of Target’s 1,981 U.S. stores.

Ulta Beauty at Target shops carried a smaller and rotating assortment of the merchandise at the beauty retailer’s own stores. They were staffed by Target’s employees.

The loss of the popular beauty retailer’s products could be another blow to Target as it tries to woo back both shoppers and investors. Target’s annual sales have been roughly flat for four years and it expects sales to decline this fiscal year. Shares of the company are worth less than half of what the were back in 2021, when they hit an all-time closing high of $266.39. It also has faced backlash over both its Pride collection and its rollback of key diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Store traffic for Target has declined year over year nearly every week from the week of Jan. 27, days after the company’s DEI announcement, through the week of Aug. 4, according to Placer.ai, an analytics firm that uses anonymized data from mobile devices to estimate overall visits to locations. Target traffic had been up weekly year over year in the four weeks before Jan. 27.

The only exceptions to that trend were the two weeks on either side of Easter, when traffic rose less than 1% year over year, the firm’s data showed.

On earnings calls and in investor presentations, leaders of the Minneapolis-based company had touted Ulta’s shops and its trendy beauty brands as a way to drive store traffic.

At a investor presentation in New York City in March, CEO Brian Cornell highlighted beauty as a growth category for Target and cited it as reason for confidence in Target’s long-term business. He said the company had gained market share in beauty and its sales in the category rose by nearly 7% in the fiscal year that ended in early February.

Target’s CEO Brian Cornell, 66, is expected to depart the company soon. The longtime Target leader renewed his contract for approximately three years in September 2022 after the board scrapped its retirement age of 65.

David Bellinger, an analyst for Mizuho Securities who covers retailers, said in an equity research note on Thursday that Target’s “messy in-store operations” as well as issues with retail theft and insufficient staffing at stores likely contributed to the companies ending their partnership.

“Overall, we see losing the Ulta shop-in-shop relationship as a negative development and something else Target’s next CEO will have to grapple with,” he wrote.

In a statement on Thursday, Target Chief Commercial Officer Rick Gomez said the discounter is “proud of our shared success with Ulta Beauty and the experience we’ve delivered together.”

“We look forward to what’s ahead and remain committed to offering the beauty experience consumers have come to expect from Target — one centered on an exciting mix of beauty brands with continuous newness, all at an unbeatable value,” he said.

In a statement, Ulta’s Chief Retail Officer Amiee Bayer-Thomas described the Target deal as “one of many unique ways we have brought the power of beauty to guests nationwide.”

“As we continue to execute our Ulta Beauty Unleashed plans, we’re confident our wide-ranging assortment, expert services and inspiring in-store experiences will reinforce our leadership in beauty and define the next chapter of our brand,” she said.

From the moment the Michigan sign-stealing scandal spilled into public consciousness roughly 21 months ago, it has served as the ultimate Rorschach test for college sports tribalism, for the pettiness of longstanding rivalries, of our voracity for social media conspiracy theories and how quickly controversy can turn into celebrity. 

Just imagine if you had told anyone with a working knowledge of Michigan’s football program August of 2023 that they’d win a national championship and the person who got a Netflix special out of it would be … Connor Stalions? I rest my case. 

And now, as Michigan braces for the findings and penalties stemming from its NCAA infractions case on Friday, we will hear all of it again regardless of the outcome: Complaints from Ann Arbor over selective enforcement, complaints from Columbus (and perhaps points beyond) that the NCAA didn’t hit hard enough, half-baked justifications for Stalions’ behavior and eye rolls from the sports nihilists who think all of this is silly because rules were never meant to be followed in the first place. 

We undeniably live in a more permissive culture than at any time in NCAA history. The Overton Window on what we consider a college sports scandal changed forever on Nov. 5, 2011 when Jerry Sandusky was arrested are charged with 52 accounts of sexual abuse. Things that used to shock people, like agent involvement in a recruitment or payments to college athletes, no longer registered the same way – and that true even before the NCAA made that stuff legal.

So the impulse now is to shrug our shoulders at all of it. If you don’t like Michigan, you probably want them punished. If you root for Michigan, you probably think this was all a ridiculous witch hunt. And if you have no skin in the game, you probably are just laughing at the NCAA for trying to punish anyone for anything at this point. 

But I’ll propose a radical thought here: Maybe, just maybe, the way all of us experience sports would be better if we simply pushed back a little harder on the idea that cheating – even in the ridiculous world of college sports — isn’t a big deal.

A couple months before I ever heard the name Conor Stallions, I was having a phone conversation with Shawn Klein, an Arizona State philosophy professor who has extensively written about and studied ethics in sports. At the time, I was working on a project that became an award-winning 10-part series about the history of cheating in sports, which human beings have grappled with dating back to chariot races in Greek and Roman antiquity. 

When I asked Klein why people tended to view cheating in sports differently than, say, cheating on their taxes or cheating on their significant other, his explanation forever changed how I thought about this stuff. 

The gist is that while we live in a world of rules that have been put in place to help us make our lives better and organize society, we’d still a society in some form even if there were no rules or laws. 

Sports don’t work that way. If there were no rules, the game itself wouldn’t exist.

“The point isn’t to get the white ball in the hole with a stick,” Klein said. “It’s doing it given the constraints you’ve all agreed to, which is what creates the game. By going outside that, you’re not playing the game anymore in some way. So the process is maybe more important in sports than in other parts of our lives. What we actually care about is the doing of the thing, not just that we get there first.”

Let’s apply that to Michigan. 

If Stalions’ in-person scouting allowed the Wolverines to obtain higher quality information about their opponents than they would otherwise have been able to obtain by following the rules, this wasn’t a gray-area issue. It was cheating, and we should be honest about that and treat it with a level of seriousness that discourages others from similarly tainting a sport they profess to care about. 

The hard part, though, is what that means in a practical sense. 

Would it feel right to strip away Michigan’s title when we all saw that, sign stealing or not, the Wolverines were by far the best college football team in 2023? Would it be fair to tell Michigan’s current players who had nothing to do with the actions of a low-level analyst that they aren’t eligible for postseason games? Does suspending current head coach and then-offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore for a few games look like a just punishment or symbolic fluff? 

There are no great answers, and it’s symbolic of why the NCAA’s enforcement model ultimately failed. As much as schools knew that cheating was culturally corrosive and wildly prevalent in college sports, they never truly trusted themselves with the instruments to manage it. 

Michigan will most likely be hit with a potpourri of penalties that won’t hurt much, and perhaps that’s the right outcome. Stalions is back in obscurity and Jim Harbaugh is in the NFL, the latter being a far bigger penalty than anything the NCAA could come up with. 

But whether Michigan cheated on its way to a national title shouldn’t be up for debate. Thanks to an enterprising staffer who was so desperate to impress his bosses that he crossed every line imaginable, the Wolverines were playing a different game than their opponents.

And if you can’t acknowledge that, they played you too.

Shedeur Sanders got his first taste of NFL action in the Cleveland Browns’ preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns’ 30-10 win.

He’s the latest high-profile quarterback Cleveland’s selected in the draft. The Browns took him in the fifth round, No. 144 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, though many expected him to go much earlier.

The early signs in the preseason are good so far. Former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel isn’t surprised at his success early on.

‘Knowing his family, knowing his dad for a long time, [he’s] well prepared for the moment,’ Manziel told USA TODAY Sports. ‘Well prepared for everything that comes with being in the NFL and playing the quarterback position.’

Manziel, who won the Heisman Trophy during his Texas A&M career, understands the pressure of being in the spotlight as a college quarterback transitioning to the NFL.

Sanders has discussed staying focused during training camp, going so far as to say his Hall of Fame father Deion shouldn’t attend Browns practices during training camp.

‘I think he is unique,’ Manziel said. ‘He beats to his own drum. He is going to be different than a lot of guys that you’re going to see around the league.

I think he’s done the right thing every step of the way. At the same time, you want to continue to be yourself. You don’t want to change what’s made you great and something that’s ingrained in your DNA.’

Manziel spent two seasons with the Browns, posting a 2-6 record as a starter. Amid multiple off-field incidents, the Browns released him at the start of the 2016 league year.

Sanders has plenty of attention, but the Browns list him as the No. 4 quarterback on the depth chart. Veteran Joe Flacco is the clear frontrunner in training camp but the 40-year-old veteran isn’t the franchise’s plan for the future.

Manziel thinks Sanders will get his chance sooner rather than later.

‘Looking at it from an outside perspective, somebody that obviously has ties to Cleveland, just keep going, keep balling, keep trying to get better,’ Manziel said. ‘Eventually his day’s going to come to where he is the starter there and hopefully he can make the most of it and he’s got people excited.’

Browns QB depth chart

Flacco sits atop the depth chart in a crowded quarterback room. Minor injuries to Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel saw the team add another quarterback, Tyler Huntley, to the roster during training camp.

Here’s how things look ahead of the Browns’ preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles:

MacIntyre birdied the last six holes to card an 8-under 62 and take a three-shot lead into the second round Friday at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Tommy Fleetwood (-5) made birdie on hole No. 18 to move within three shots of MacIntyre. Tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler sits in third place at 4 under par.

The BMW Championship is the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs. The playoffs feature the top 50 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings. MacIntyre entered the tournament in 20th place.

BMW CHAMPIONSHIP: Full first round leaderboard

Robert MacIntyre finishes with six-pack of birdies

How’s that for a finish?

Robert MacIntyre probably wishes there were more holes to play Thursday because he finished on an absolute heater.

MacIntyre birdied hole No. 18 for his sixth consecutive birdie to close out Round 1. Those six consecutive birdies represent a PGA Tour career-best for McIntyre.

Robert MacIntyre finishing strong

Robert MacIntyre’s streak of consecutive holes with a birdie has hit five entering the 18th and final hole of his first round.

The strong finish has moved McIntyre into a three-shot lead.

Robert MacIntyre takes the lead

Robert MacIntyre has birdie three consecutive holes to take sole possession of the lead at Caves Valley Golf Club.

Through 15 holes, MacIntyre has registered seven birdies, versus two bogies.

Tommy Fleetwood moves into tie atop leaderboard after bunker shot

Tommy Fleetwood is attempting to rebound from a near-miss at last weekend’s FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he finished one shot behind Justin Rose and J.J. Spaun (Rose won that in a playoff).

Fleetwood moved into a first-place tie with Scottie Scheffler and Robert MacIntyre after a brilliant shot out of the bunker on hole No. 12.

Scottie Scheffler finishes Round 1 with clubhouse lead

Scottie Scheffler knocked in a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to take the early clubhouse lead with a 4-under 66 on Day 1 of the 2025 BMW Championship. Scheffler birdied three of the last four holes in the first round after taking bogeys on the turn on the ninth and 10th holes.

Scottie Scheffler is co-leader again

Make that consecutive birdies for the pre-tournament favorite. Scottie Scheffler just sank a second birdie putt in a row coming out of Thursday’s weather delay during the first round of the 2025 BMW Championship. He’s now tied with Viktor Hovland, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day and Ben Griffin at 3-under atop the leaderboard with two holes left to play in the first round. Course conditions have improved, according to the Golf Channel broadcast on site at Caves Valley Golf Club, with little to no wind present after the 2-hour, 13-minute delay due to thunderstorms in the area.

Scottie Scheffler birdie coming out of weather delay

Maybe the inclement weather break at the BMW Championship was exactly what Scottie Scheffler needed to get his first round at the BMW Championship back on track. He had three birdies on the opening three holes, followed by back-to-back bogeys at the turn, but just emerged from the clubhouse to birdie No. 15 and move to within one shot of the lead again at 2-under.

BMW Championship first round has resumed

The 2025 BMW Championship first round is back underway after a weather delay of 2 hours, 13 minutes due to thunderstorms and lightning in the area of Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mill, Maryland. There are 46 golfers still left on the course, so the leaderboard could still see plenty of movement over the next couple hours.

BMW Championship weather delay update: When will first round resume?

The thunderstorms and rain are clearing up at Caves Hill Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland and PGA Tour officials are preparing for the BMW Championship first round to resume on Thursday. Play is scheduled to begin at 4:45 p.m. ET after some work is done on the course’s bunkers, according to the Golf Channel broadcast. If the first round goes on as planned, it would mean golfers sat through a weather delay of 2 hours, 10 minutes. The driving range is already open again.

Weather delay at BMW Championship, first round suspended

The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs will endure a weather delay for the second week in a row. The horn just blew during the first round of the 2025 BMW Championship with a ‘dangerous weather situation’ in the area at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland. Play has been suspended with most of the 50-golfer field is still on the course. Viktor Hovland the current leader (-3) in the clubhouse.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis also experienced a weather delay at the end of the second round that resulted in the round being completed the following day.

Viktor Hovland, Rickie Fowler surge up leaderboard

Viktor Hovland is the leader in the clubhouse at the moment after birdies at No. 16 and No. 17 helped him close out the first round with a 3-under 67. It was an up-and-down round with three bogeys on the front nine, but Hovland really got going after this remarkable chip shot for birdie at No. 12:

Rickie Fowler, meanwhile, now has five birdies (including four in the past five holes) to move into a tie for first place after barely qualifying for the top-50 field this week. It’s a crowded leaderboard with scoring much tougher than when the BMW Championship previously came to Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland in 2021 before the course’s recent redesign.

Scottie Scheffler stumbles, Rory McIlroy recovers

Just as soon as Scottie Scheffler grabbed the solo lead at the 2025 BMW Championship, he promptly coughed it up with back-to-back bogeys. Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, has rebounded nicely a rough first eight holes with back-to-back birdies. He’s now even par in the first round, just one shot back of Scheffler, and two shots back of the lead.

Scottie Scheffler alone atop BMW Championship leaderboard … briefly

Scheffler had sole possession of first place for a few moments during the opening round of the second FedEx Cup playoff event after a bogey by Ben Griffin to close out his front nine Thursday.

Scheffler was at 3-under after birdies on three of his first four holes and then proceeded to card his first bogey of the round on No. 9 just like Griffin. There’s now a six-way tie atop the leaderboard.

Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele among big names struggling

It’s been a rough start to the BMW Championship for a couple recent major winners. Xander Schauffele has five bogeys through 14 holes and sits at +3. He’s in danger of missing The Tour Championship next week since he entered this week outside the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings.

McIlroy, meanwhile, is having issues finding the fairway and it’s costing him on the scorecard. He sits at +2, which is all the more glaring with Scheffler leading the tournament and playing with him. McIlroy just saved par with a nice up-and-down around the green on No. 7.

Both golfers will have all four rounds to turn things around. There is no cut at the BMW Championship with a limited field.

Scottie Scheffler is now BMW Championship co-leader

Another birdie by Scottie Scheffler at the par-5 fourth hole has pushed the FedEx Cup points leader and world No. 1 into a first place tie with Michael Kim and Ben Griffin at 3-under on the 2025 BMW Championship leaderboard. Scheffler has three birdies in his opening four holes playing with Rory McIlroy, who is having issues finding the fairway on the front nine thus far. Griffin has risen up the leaderboard with three-straight birdies.

Scottie Scheffler is rolling early

The world’s best golfer has started off the 2025 BMW Championship with consecutive birdies. Scottie Scheffler is 2-under through two holes after finding the fairway and green with his opening shots of the tournament. Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, has misfired a couple times, including a wayward tee shot at No. 2 that led to a bogey.

Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy featured group tee time

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are on the course after teeing off at the 2025 BMW Championship. The two best golfers in the world are paired together in a marquee featured group for the opening rounds of the second FedEx Cup playoff event. It’s a potential Ryder Cup preview in McIlroy’s return to the PGA Tour after skipping last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.

Shane Lowry starts with three birdies in a row

Shane Lowry has grabbed the first-round lead after a third birdie in a row and none has involved a putt longer than 12 feet. The burly Irishman is clicking on all cylinders. Looks like there could be some low scores today at Caves Valley. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will be on the course soon.

J.T. Poston, playing solo, moves into tie for first

J.T. Poston has moved into a tie for first place with Michael Kim on the first round leaderboard at the 2025 BMW Championship after Kim’s first bogey of the day and consecutive birdies by Poston. Taylor Pendrith is also at 2-under through four holes and Shane Lowry has birdies on his first two holes to create a four-way tie. Poston is playing alone in the first two rounds of this FedEx Cup playoff event because he was the last man in the 50-golfer field and Sepp Straka withdrew from the tournament due to personal reasons.

Michael Kim off to fast start

Michael Kim is the early leader after birdies on three of his first four holes playing alongside Xander Schauffele, who conversely began with a bogey on two of his first three holes. Kim sits at 3-under heading to No. 5 at Caves Valley Golf Club. Kims sits at No. 42 in the FedEx Cup standings and could play his way into the Tour Championship with a strong showing this week.

BMW Championship underway

Play has started at the BMW Championship as J.T. Poston has teed off at Caves Valley Golf Club. And golf’s second playoff tournament is underway.

Next up: Xander Schauffele and Michael Kim will tee off at 9:32 a.m. ET.
