Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. World No. 1s Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler have been golf's parallel forces over the past two seasons, dominating their respective tours with a blend of consistency and calm that's become their shared signature. Both sit atop the world rankings—Korda leads the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings while Scheffler reigns over the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. If we skim their 2024 winning list, each professional had seven strong winning titles, including a major. Their mirrored success has no doubt continued into 2025 as well, despite a slower start to the season. Nelly Korda looking to tap into Scottie Scheffler at women's PGA Championship.

On the other hand, Korda has four top-10 finishes in her nine starts but is still grinding to win the first title this season. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler : 3 majors, 15 PGA Tour wins World No. 1 Nelly Korda: 2 majors (going for No. 3 today) , 15 LPGA Tour wins Both have a chance to secure their 16th tour victory today — claire rogers (@kclairerogers) June 1, 2025 Her next battle is at the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, and the LPGA pro confessed how Scheffler is inspiring her this time. "Yeah, he's just an incredible player, incredible human being, and how consistent he is week in and week out, that's something to look up to, " Korda admitted during her pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday. "He's just so steady," she added. "That's something I've been working on—just staying in my own bubble and trusting the process." Her comments came in response to a question about Scheffler's dominant win at the PGA Championship last month, where he shot 11-under at Quail Hollow to claim his third career major by five strokes. Scheffler's final-round 71 on May 18th was breathtaking. He sealed the deal, capping off a stretch that included birdies on 14 and 15 and a composed finish through the Green Mile. It is interesting to see how Korda and Scheffler each seem to embrace each other's style of play while participating in several TaylorMade videos. The push from the opposite side of the sport is not the only thing motivating her. Korda's runner-up finish at the U.S. Women's Open earlier this month also appears to have reignited her confidence. The 26-year-old skipped the Meijer LPGA Classic, finished T15 at the ShopRite LPGA Classic and now looks to rebound from a missed cut at last year's KPMG Women's PGA. In 2024, she shot 6-over through two rounds. Are you rooting for the World No. 1 this time? Let us know in the comment section below!

Shedeur Sanders' arrogance and Deion's overconfidence cost him $50 Million, NFL insiders reveal
Shedeur Sanders' arrogance and Deion's overconfidence cost them millions (Image via :getty Images) Shedeur Sanders was supposed to be a top NFL draft pick. Instead, his dramatic fall to the fifth round shocked fans and analysts alike. While talent was never the question, insiders reveal it was Shedeur's arrogance and Deion's overconfidence that led to his costly slip. Now, the Sanders family faces a $50 million mistake. Shedeur Sanders' attitude got real reason behind Draft-Day fall QB Shedeur Sanders not selected in Round 1 of 2025 NFL Draft | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC Shedeur Sanders entered the NFL Draft with all the buzz of a top-tier quarterback, but his dramatic fall to the fifth round has raised serious questions. According to NFL insiders , Shedeur's draft-day slip wasn't just about his performance, it was about his attitude. The rumors started early, and as the draft unfolded, teams were doubting more than just Shedeur's on-field talent. 'Teams give you things to challenge you,' Colin Cowherd explained. One team showed Shedeur his worst plays. Instead of owning it, he responded with, 'Maybe I'm not the guy for you.'' What was intended to be confidence came across as a red flag. In the NFL, humility and self-awareness matter more than swagger and Shedeur's dismissive response only fueled concerns about his readiness for the league. NFL Hall of Famer Cris Carter didn't hold back. Shedeur and his family, they overplayed their hand. Them thinking that he was in the same evaluation mode as Eli Manning, they didn't play that right,' Carter said, referring to the Sanders family's attempt to narrow down teams. Sanders' $50 Million fallout The consequences were brutal. According to Carter, Shedeur's ego cost him $30 to $50 million. Dropping to the fifth round meant fewer reps, less security, and no guarantees. Emmanuel Acho didn't sugarcoat it either: 'He's a camp body now.' This wasn't just a financial hit; it was a reputation-shattering fall. Once seen as a future franchise star, Shedeur now faces an uphill battle to prove his worth. The Sanders family's strategy backfired, what they thought was leverage turned into a costly mistake. And now, Shedeur is left dealing with the fallout.
