Nike releases perfect ad to commemorate Scottie Scheffler's win at PGA Championship
"Best player in the world? Guilty." That's all it says. That's all it needs to say.

Clearly, the guilty part is in reference to his arrest in Louisville a year ago during the PGA Championship.
And as Golfweek's Adam Schupak wrote: "The world No. 1 went from locked up to locked in and at the tender age of 28 he joined Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as just the third player to win three career majors and 15 PGA Tour titles. "

Kansas coach Bill Self undergoes heart procedure
Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Thursday after he 'experienced some concerning symptoms,' according to a statement from Kansas Athletics. Self had two stents inserted during a heart procedure that 'went very well,' and he is expected to make a full recovery. 'He is in good spirits and expects to be released from the hospital soon.' The university did not disclose any information regarding a timetable for Self's recovery or whether he will miss the upcoming basketball season. Self previously underwent a heart procedure and had two stents placed to treat blocked arteries in 2023. The veteran coach had experienced chest tightness and had concerns about his balance after watching shooting as his team was preparing for a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal game that year. He recovered and was present at NCAA Tournament practices, but did not fully return to coaching on the sideline for games until the following season. Who is Bill Self? Bill Self has spent the past 22 seasons as Kansas' head basketball coach, winning the national championship in 2008 and 2022. The Jayhawks have qualified for the NCAA Tournament 21 times during Self's tenure, only missing the 2020 season when the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He has compiled a 624-156 overall record during his time at Kansas. When does Kansas open the 2025-26 season? Kansas has exhibition games scheduled against Louisville (Oct. 24) and Fort Hays State (Oct. 28) before opening the season against Green Bay on Nov. 3 and North Carolina on Nov. 7.

Scottie Scheffler kills Rory McIlroy battle cry stone dead as world's best brutally underlines his brilliance
Sizzling Scottie Scheffler silenced a partisan home crowd as chants backing home hero Rory McIlroy were swept straight into the Atlantic Ocean. Supporters in Portrush turned the dial up to 11 to back McIlroy for his final round but the brilliance of the World No.1 soon told as he raced out to a three under start as he closes in on his fourth major. McIlroy received a rock star ovation on the first tee in scenes akin to the reception players receive when starring in A-list team events such as the Ryder Cup. And the cries from the crowd continued onto the course but they had little effect on Scheffler who marched to the beat of his own tune.

He said: Not to say it was a Ryder Cup atmosphere earlier but there were certainly a good number of "let's go Rory" shouts as Scottie Scheffler walked up the fairways. "Those have died off as that gap on the leaderboard grows between the world number one and the world number two."

Scottie Scheffler ally insists he'll never be the same as Tiger Woods because he's missing one thing
Jordan Spieth insists Scottie Scheffler will never be the same as Tiger Woods. The World No.1 is racking-up milestones to match the 15-times major winner and drawing big comparisons from his peers. Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry were amongst those who talked about the historical context and sizzling nature of Scheffler's blistering current run. READ MORE: Scottie Scheffler kills Rory McIlroy battle cry stone dead as world's best brutally underlines his brilliance READ MORE: Ianis Hagi shows true colours as Rangers hero gives ex SPFL rival priceless words of advice after box office transfer The 29-year-old was quick to cast aside any Woods comparisons in the wake of his Royal Portrush romp and Spieth has given an astounding insight into the mindset of golf's king. Spieth says his fellow Texan's his very differing traits and explained: "I think more so maybe it's less the golf swing and maybe more of his personality. He doesn't care to be a superstar. He's not transcending the game like Tiger did. He's not bringing it to a non-golf audience necessarily. 'He doesn't want to go do the stuff that a lot of us go do, corporately, anything like that. He just wants to get away from the game and separate the two because I know at one time, he felt it was too much, that he was taking it with him and, whenever he made that switch, I don't know what it was, but he has hobbies. 'He's always with his family. They're always doing stuff. I think it's more so the difference in personality from any other superstar that you've seen in the modern era and maybe in any sport. I don't think anybody is like him. 'He has that unique ability, from best I can tell, to separate. But again, when I see him, I'm at the golf course. I see him here and there off the course, but when we're playing on the course at home, he sh*t talks. He's very witty. You can't really go at him because he's smart and he's got good bulls***. 'I mean, it's not necessarily just to me. It's normally the other people that we're playing with. But not that I want to say it, I'm not going to quote him on that kind of stuff. 'But then when a tournament starts, he's incredibly competitive, as you see. He's kind of plotting along. You won't see that much emotion as he continues to strike it like this because the only time you're going to see it is when he's on the greens if he misses putts because he's not missing many shots. 'I wouldn't necessarily think that the golf swing makes as much of a difference as the personality match. I'm thinking about so many other sports. Nikola Jokic is the only guy I can think of that's a superstar that's equally unassuming in any sport in the modern era and I'm happy if anybody else can find another example, but it's very rare. Most people lean into it and take advantage of it. 'Roger Federer, he's maybe the same kind of demeanor and person. As a person he's different, but he made more off the court than he did on all the time and he cared to. When Scottie is done playing, he's not going to show back up at tournaments. I can promise you that.' Spieth and Scheffler came up through the ranks at roughly the same time in Texas and the 2017 Open champion, who will go back to the scene of his Birkdale triumph next year, said: 'Obviously he won a US Junior, like he was a great junior, but I think maybe after the Ryder Cup, watching him when he beat Jon [Rahm] and then when he came and won in that playoff in Phoenix, it's like, now he knows he didn't have to do anything different and he's good enough to win any week. 'He's obviously well-deserving of it, probably the most deserving player of it {The Open]. And I've thought the way that his game is the last few years, the harder the conditions, the better for him over here. "If there's ever a chance for someone to take him down, it's when it's benign. But he's been putting so well, I have a hard time thinking anybody else would get it done.'
