Deadspin | PGA confirms intention to end presence in Hawaii Jan 18, 2026; Honolulu, Hawaii, USA; Chris Gotterup holds the championship trophy after winning the Sony Open in Hawaii. Mandatory Credit: Marco Garcia-Imagn Images The PGA revealed on Monday that it intends to end its tournament lineup in Hawaii in 2027. That news came on the heels of the 2026 Maui event having to be canceled due to drought-like conditions on the Plantation Course at Kapalua. The Sentry, formerly know as the Tournament of Champions, served as the starting-off point for the PGA Tour each January from 1986-2013 and 2024-25. This season’s cancellation created a less ceremonious January start to the PGA season at the Sony Open in Hawaii, at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, a week later than usual and The American Express, in La Quinta, Calif., after that. The star-studded Sentry event typically boasted the top 50 from the FedEx Cup final standings and all winners from the previous season. Overall, the PGA has hosted an event in Hawaii for more than 50 consecutive years. The Plantation course that hosted The Sentry had been involved in a water rights dispute with another local company that it had been unable to resolve, leading to the announcement of the cancellation of the 2026 event last October. The Sony Open on Oahu, an event which paired with The Sentry to enable golfers a two-week stay in the Pacific, has been caught in the crossfire and could be moved to the Champions Tour instead. The PGA Tour floated the possibility of pairing it with the senior circuit’s Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai going forward. Still, the PGA Tour stressed that more details about the 2027 schedule would be shared at a later date. In a press release, the PGA Tour addressed the larger move, saying in part, “We are grateful to The Plantation Course at Kapalua, Kapalua Resort, Maui County and the state of Hawaii for their longtime support of our season-opening PGA Tour event, as well as the fans, partners and volunteers across Maui who have supported the event throughout the years.” Sentry’s event title sponsorship with the PGA Tour continues through 2035, leaving the organization in need of a tournament to lend its name to. Several executives reportedly visited Torrey Pines in San Diego this season, as that event’s partnership with Farmers Insurance is expected to end this year, according to multiple media outlets.

Deadspin | Jalen Brunson pours in 39 as Knicks go up 3-2 on Hawks Apr 28, 2026; New York, New York, USA; New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11) controls the ball against Atlanta Hawks guard CJ McCollum (3) during the first quarter of game five of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Jalen Brunson scored 39 points to lift the host New York Knicks to a 126-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday in Game 5 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. New York holds a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Knicks will look to advance to the conference semifinals on Thursday when they play Game 6 in Atlanta. Brunson made 15 of 23 shots from the floor and added eight assists against one turnover for New York, which shot a robust 57% from the field. OG Anunoby contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Knicks, who held a decisive 48-27 edge on the boards and a 60-42 advantage in points in the paint. New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns collected 16 points, 14 rebounds and six assists on the heels of recording 20, 10 and 10, respectively, in the Knicks’ 114-98 victory at Atlanta in Game 4 on Saturday. Jose Alvarado added 12 points off the bench for the Knicks. Atlanta’s Jalen Johnson recorded 18 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Dyson Daniels had 17 points and Onyeka Okongwu and Nickeil Alexander-Walker each had 16 for the Hawks, who shot 31% (13 of 42) from 3-point range and were limited to just four fastbreak points. Atlanta’s CJ McCollum continued to struggle after playing the role of hero in Games 2 and 3. He followed up his 17-point performance in Game 4 with just six points on 3-of-10 shooting from the floor on Tuesday. Johnson’s dunk pulled Atlanta within 23-20 before New York went on a 12-2 run to end the first quarter. The Hawks didn’t do themselves any favors by making just 1 of 8 attempts from 3-point range in the opening period. The Knicks extended their lead to 59-37 after Anunoby’s steal led to Brunson’s layup with 3:08 remaining in the second quarter. The Hawks, however, closed the quarter on an 11-5 run to get within 64-48 at halftime. New York led by 18 points in the third quarter while giving Brunson and Towns a breather. Brunson, however, scored eight points during a 12-0 Knicks run during the fourth quarter that effectively ended any faint hopes Atlanta had for a comeback. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Jalen #Brunson #pours #Knicks #HawksApr 28, 2026; New York, New York, USA; New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11) controls the ball against Atlanta Hawks guard CJ McCollum (3) during the first quarter of game five of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden.

The White House has hit back at critics of Donald ​Trump being awarded the FIFA Peace Prize, ‌saying there is none more deserving ​than the U.S. president.

FIFA gave Trump the inaugural award at the World Cup draw in December for “promoting ‌peace and unity around the world”, triggering condemnation from human rights ‌groups and activists in the lead-up ‌to ⁠the World Cup.

Australian footballer Jackson ⁠Irvine said this week that giving the award to Trump made a mockery of FIFA’s Human ​Rights Policy, while ‌Norway’s football federation said FIFA should abolish the award.

The White House responded by saying Trump’s “Peace through Strength foreign policy” had ‌ended eight wars in less than ​a year.

“There is no one else in the world more deserving ⁠of FIFA’s first ever Peace Prize than President Trump. Anyone who thinks otherwise clearly ‌suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.

The U.S., which is co-hosting the World Cup with Canada and Mexico from June 11 ‌to July 19, launched a military strike on ​Venezuela a month after the draw for the tournament was made and ⁠began joint airstrikes with Israel on Iran ⁠on February 28.

Trump frequently invokes his success at resolving international conflicts and ‌has said on numerous occasions that he should be awarded the Nobel ​Peace Prize.
