Noah Lyles vs. Tyreek Hill race would be good for TV, but not competitive on the track
A few days after Xavier Worthy broke the NFL combine 40-yard dash record, USA TODAY Sports sarcastically asked the then-draft prospect if he thought he could beat Usain Bolt in the 40-yard dash. Bolt, the former Jamaican track and field superstar, eight-time Olympic gold medalist, and 100- and 200-meter world-record holder, effortlessly ran a 4.22 in the 40-yard dash in sweats and sneakers at the NFL Experience in 2019. Worthy clocked in with an NFL combine record-setting time of 4.21 at the 2024 NFL scouting combine. 'No,' Worthy answered when asked if he could beat Bolt. 'His 40 was in shoes and sweats. There's no comparison. I'm not even gonna disrespect him.' MORE: What is the fastest NFL combine 40-yard dash time? Worthy's honest assessment applies to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, too. Hill and Olympic 100-meter champion Noah Lyles have playfully gone back and forth about competing against each other in a race. Their scheduled race was canceled in June due to what Lyles described as "complications" and "personal reasons." The race would've been good publicity for both athletes and brought more casual fans to the sport of track and field. But let's stop the charade. Hill is not in the same league as Lyles or any world-class sprinter when it comes to speed. Hill did beat Lyles' younger brother, Josephus, in a 100 prelim at the ATX Sprint Classic on Saturday with a wind-aided time of 10.10. Hill conveniently elected not to run in the final, where the top five finishers all ran sub-10 seconds (all times were wind-aided). Hill, who competed in track and field in college, has a personal best legal time of 10.15 seconds in the 100 meters. The Dolphins wideout would've placed ninth at the 2024 U.S. Olympic track and field trials if he equaled his record. Hill's top mark in the 60 is 6.64. His record in the 60 would've been good enough for eighth in the event at the 2025 U.S. Indoor track and field championships. Noah won a gold medal in the 100 at the Paris Olympics with a personal-best of 9.79. His lifetime best in the 60 is 6.43. Both times are comfortably ahead of Hill's all-time best marks. Furthermore, Noah's 10 best times in the 100 are sub-9.90. His top 10 times in the 60 are all 6.55 or better. All of which are faster than Hill's lifetime best in both events. The times don't lie. They reveal the obvious truth. Yes, the Noah Lyles vs. Tyreek Hill showdown would've been entertaining for sports fans. They are two of the biggest stars in their respective sports. But it wouldn't have been a competitive race. Hill is arguably the fastest person in the NFL (although Worthy might have something to say about that). Lyles currently holds the title of the fastest man in the world, having won the Olympic gold medal in the 100. They are marquee athletes, but there's a distinct difference between football speed and world-class track speed. Follow USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon on X @TheTylerDragon.

Former LIV golfer in field at PGA Tour's Rocket Classic
The post Former LIV golfer in field at PGA Tour's Rocket Classic appeared first on ClutchPoints. The PGA Tour is coming off yet another thrilling finish, as Keegan Bradley pulled out a wild victory at the Travelers Championship. He won't have much time to soak it in, though, as the 39-year-old Bradley is in the field at this week's Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club. Interestingly, he will be joined by a former member of LIV Golf as well. Advertisement James Piot, who spent two years on the PGA Tour's rival circuit, has received an unrestricted sponsor's exemption, per GolfWeek. That coincides with several last-minute withdrawals from the PGA Tour event. Eric Cole, Kevin Yu, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, and Tim Widing have each pulled out of the event. For Piot, it is a return that started his career. After winning the U.S. Amateur in 2021, Piot joined the Tour. Yet, he struggled mightily to gain any traction at the professional level, missing his final six cuts in a row. That prompted the decision for now 26-year-old, to join LIV Golf. Piot took part in the Saudi-funded league upon its inception in 2022. He spent two seasons as a part of Phil Mickelson's HyFlyers squad. Yet, the talented youngster was unable to jump-start his career there, either. He was relegated after his second season. Advertisement Since that time, Piot has undergone shoulder surgery. After healing up, the former Michigan State Spartan has mostly played the Asian Tour. He also played in one Korn Ferry Tour event, missing the cut there as well. It will be interesting to see how he performs this week vs. a pretty strong PGA Tour field. Even though World No.1 Scottie Scheffler will not be there, several Tour stars are in Detroit. That includes Collin Morikawa, the aforementioned Keegan Bradley, Patrick Cantlay, Wyndham Clark, and 2023 Rocket champion Rickie Fowler.

PGA Tour: 2 players set bonkers scoring record at Rocket Classic
The post PGA Tour: 2 players set bonkers scoring record at Rocket Classic appeared first on ClutchPoints. Aldrich Potgieter and Kevin Roy made quite the splash at the Rocket Classic, both kicking off the tournament with record-breaking rounds. On Thursday, Potgieter, a rising star from the PGA Tour, nearly walked off the ninth green with a solo lead, but a missed 12-foot birdie putt left him tied with Roy at the top of the leaderboard. They both opened the 2025 tournament at Detroit Golf Club with impressive 10-under 62s, setting a new 18-hole scoring record for the event, according to the PGA Tour. Advertisement Both players enjoyed bogey-free rounds, racking up eight birdies and an eagle each. The 20-year-old South African rookie, Potgieter, dazzled on the front nine, shooting a remarkable 7-under 29 to kick off his day. Meanwhile, Roy finished strong, nailing a 30-foot chip-in for eagle at the par-5 17th. 'Just one of those days everything was clicking,' Roy shared after the round. Stellar performances were expected, given the ideal scoring conditions. Rain earlier in the week had softened the course, making the typically generous greens even more inviting. Since joining the PGA Tour schedule in 2019, Detroit Golf Club has consistently been one of the most scoreable venues. 'It was pretty easy,' said Andrew Putnam, who shot a solid 64. Not too far behind the leaders, Min Woo Lee, Max Greyserman, and Mark Hubbard all finished with 9-under 63s, tying the previous tournament scoring record. Two-time major champion Zach Johnson was part of a group of seven players sitting at 8-under. Lee, who recently faced a challenging stretch that included the U.S. Open and the Memorial, praised the course setup. 'Hopefully, the PGA Tour can have more courses like this. It would be a bit more fun and less stressful,' Lee remarked. For Potgieter and Roy, getting off to a strong start is crucial during this key stretch of the season. Potgieter kicked off the week sitting at No. 73 in the FedEx Cup standings, while Roy was at No. 100. Both players are in a race to secure full status for the upcoming season and possibly qualify for some elevated events. 'That's probably the biggest goal this year,' Potgieter shared with reporters after his round at the event. Advertisement With a crowded leaderboard and several top-50 players in the mix, including a frustrated Collin Morikawa and Keegan Bradley, the pair will need to keep up their momentum over the next three rounds to remain in the hunt.
