How all 14 LIV Golf players fared at 2025 U.S. Open
J.J. Spaun stole the spotlight with his dramatic victory at the U.S. Open on Sunday, but several LIV Golf players posted top-10 finishes in the third major of 2025.
The effort was led by Tyrrell Hatton, who was disappointed with his tie for fourth after being in contention throughout Sunday before closing with consecutive bogeys. His 3 over total for the tournament equaled that of playing partner and fellow LIV player Carlos Ortiz.
Spain's Jon Rahm was the leader in the clubhouse for a while after pouring in three closing birdies to tie Rory McIlroy for the low round of the day at 67 and climbing to 4 over. He ultimately tied for seventh along with 54-hole leader Sam Burns and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
LIV GOLF FINISHES
Carlos Ortiz, 3 over
Tyrrell Hatton, 3 over
Jon Rahm, 4 over
Brooks Koepka, 6 over
Patrick Reed, 8 over
Marc Leishman, 11 over
It wound up as a very respectable showing for the breakaway league after more than half of its entrants missed the cut at Oakmont.
That included Joaquin Niemann, a four-time winner on the LIV circuit this year, defending U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson, who had won the most recent U.S. Open at Oakmont in 2016.
LIV PLAYERS TO MISS THE CUT
Phil Mickelson, 8 over
Cameron Smith, 8 over
Jinichiro Kozuma, 9 over
Bryson DeChambeau, 10 over
Dustin Johnson, 10 over
Joaquin Niemann, 10 over
Josele Ballester, 12 over
Richard Bland, 18 over

Drake reveals he lost $8 million in sports gambling after successful $750,000 wager on IPL final
Drake is one of the popular names in the music fraternity. The rapper enjoys a strong fan following because of style and swag. Apart from this, the Canadian sensation is also involved in sports gambling. He had earlier garnered attention when he placed a successful wager on RCB to win the IPL 2025 final. However, now it has come to light that not all his bets have been that successful, Drake revealed the downside of being associated with betting. . Drake lost $8 million on sports betting Drake, who is usually present at major global sports events, is actively involved in sports gambling/betting. In a new post on Instagram Stories, he revealed that he incurred losses of $8 million in a month after placing bets of over $125 million on sports events. Drake lost $124m in a month to gambling. If he continues like this,sooner or later he'll be in debt. That's 2billion naira gone. He, however, did not specify the sports involved. That said, the NBA finals and the NHL playoffs were last month. He had earlier placed a bet of $750,000 on the IPL 2025 final, backing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru against the Punjab Kings. The former eventually won the tournament for the first time ever. What's the Drake Curse? Drake's association with sports betting has led to the 'Drake Curse', a pop culture phenomena based on the idea that any athlete or sports team backed by him usually ends up underperforming. Serena Williams, for instance, lost the 2015 U.S. Open semifinals after being seen with him. Similarly, earlier this year, the self-declared 'flawed sports bettor' placed a $1.25 million bet on the Ice Hockey team Toronto Maple Leafs emerging victorious in Game 7 against the Florida Panthers. However, that did not happen as The Leafs were eliminated from the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite this, he has placed an $800,000 bet on Game 6 of the NBA Finals, with the Oklahoma City Thunder leading the series. He has also wagered $600,000 on a Thunder win and another $200,000 on them winning by 6–10 points. If both bets prove to be correct, he could earn about $1.7 million

Jordan Spieth withdraws after 13 holes from Travelers with shoulder blade injury
CROMWELL, Conn. — Jordan Spieth was forced to withdraw from the Travelers Championship after 13 holes Thursday when tightness in his shoulder blade reached a point he couldn't swing without pain. Spieth said the injury appeared out of nowhere, perhaps from sleeping on it in a bad position. He noticed it on the range, had his physical trainer work on him before teeing off and it never got any better. He was 5 over for his round, with no birdies, when he informed playing partner Luke Clanton he could not continue and was taken off in a cart. 'I've never withdrawn from an event ever anywhere at any level, so I didn't really know what to do. It just became too much,' Spieth said. "I didn't see it turning around until probably Saturday. These things kind of last an extra day, and no matter what I was going to do, it was just going to be ... I don't know, it's unfortunate. 'I've been doing everything right, and I think it was just very random.' The timing was a blow to Spieth, who got into his first signature event this year without needing to rely on a sponsor exemption. His wife is due to give birth to their third child in a few weeks, and there were no plans to add a tournament before the British Open. Spieth has moved back into the top 50 in the world ranking and the top 40 of the FedEx Cup despite a late start to the season because of surgery on his left wrist last August. He said he felt a tug on both sides of his neck and upper back as he worked through his bag on the range. He stopped the session to get work on it, but as the round began it wasn't getting any better. The next goal was to finish the round because there is no 36-hole cut. 'It's a weird situation with an elevated event and no cut and important points,' he said. 'It's like, 'Well, what's the downside if I can finish, even if it's ugly?' And then I hit my tee shot on 13, and it legitimately really hurt.' Spieth tied for 23rd in the U.S. Open and was on the fringe of contention at the Memorial before he tied for seventh. golf: /hub/golf

Wyndham Clark says he 'deeply regrets' damaging his Oakmont locker during the US Open
CROMWELL, Conn. — Former U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark said he 'deeply regrets' the damage done to the century-old locker he was using at Oakmont during the U.S. Open, his second act of frustration that caused damage at a major this year. Reports surfaced over the weekend that Clark damaged his locker. The USGA said only that it works directly with players and their managers when it comes to player conduct. Clark, who bogeyed his last hole Friday to miss the cut by one shot at the U.S. Open, opened the Travelers Championship with a 64 on Thursday. When asked to comment on the Oakmont locker incident, Clark said: "Yeah, I mean, I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows. 'I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened,' he said. 'But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of the year and things that come up.' Clark burst into prominence in 2023 with two victories, including the U.S. Open, and a spot on the Ryder Cup team. He won at Pebble Beach a year later and qualified for the Olympics. But he has only one top-10 finish in the last nine months and has dropped to No. 27 in the world ranking and No. 80 in the FedEx Cup. At the PGA Championship, he hit his drive to the right and slung his driver behind him, damaging a sign on the tee. The logo was that of one of his corporate sponsors. Clark posted an apology for that incident on social media. 'As professionals, we are expected to remain professional even when frustrated and I unfortunately let my emotions get the best of me. My actions were uncalled for and completely inappropriate, making it clear that I have things I need to work on,' Clark said last month. "I promise to better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time.' Clark is No. 23 in the Ryder Cup standings, with six players getting automatic spots. He has the one more signature event and one major among tournaments left to improve his standing in the FedEx Cup. Only the top 70 make the postseason. 'I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedEx Cup,' Clark said. 'So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things.' golf: /hub/golf
