Paulina Gretzky stuns in sultry new photoshoot with shirtless Dustin Johnson ahead of US Open
The model shared a carousel of Instagram snapshots Monday that showed her and the LIV Golf star displaying PDA while posing on a white couch together.
'Nobody else,' Gretzky, 36, wrote.

The daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky looked stunning in a sheer neutral dress with white lace detailing.
Johnson, who will compete in the 125th U.S. Open that begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh, went shirtless and showed off his chest hair under a white suit jacket.
Last month, Gretzky had the internet buzzing after she posed topless for another photoshoot with Miami-based photographer Isabella Lanaro.
'Undone,' Gretzky wrote on Instagram at the time, including an image of her posing in a pair of jeans while covering her breasts with her hands.
It's unclear what the photoshoots were for beyond social media use.

Johnson — who was reportedly paid $125 million to defect to LIV Golf in 2022 and earned over $35 million in winnings in its inaugural season — missed the cut at this year's Masters and the PGA Championship, which saw Scottie Scheffler win his third major title last month.
He returns to Oakmont nine years after he won the 2016 U.S. Open at the Pittsburgh-area course.
Gretzky and Johnson were engaged for nine years before tying the knot in April 2022.
The couple has two sons, Tatum, 10, and River Jones, 7.

Johnson is in the middle of the 2025 LIV Golf season and is ranked 27th in the standings after eight events with three top-10 finishes this season.
Last December, Johnson — a Masters and U.S. Open champion — was named Golf Saudi's newest ambassador.
He will lead year-round coaching for Saudi National Team golfers and represent the Golf Saudi brand globally while continuing to compete.

Ryan Gerard wins the Barracuda Championship for his first PGA Tour title
TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Gerard had two seven-point, birdie-eagle bursts and overcame five bogeys to win the Barracuda Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory. In breezy conditions at Tahoe Mountain Club in the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system, Gerard followed a two-point birdie with a five-point eagle on Nos. 2-3 and 10-11. The 25-year-old former North Carolina player had a 13-point round to finish with 47 points for a three-point victory over 2021 winner Erik van Rooyen of South Africa. Gerard fell short of van Rooyen's tournament record of 50 points. 'Been playing a lot of really good golf,' Gerard said. 'Felt like I haven't been quite getting the scores out of the shots that I've hit. It's been a long time being a long grind, and it's pretty cool to end up on top.' Fifth in the event two years ago, Gerard won in his 47th PGA Tour start to become the 999th winner in tour history. 'It's just like a culmination of a lifetime of work,' Gerard said. 'I can't tell you how many hours I've spent hitting golf balls dreaming of winning on the PGA Tour. Yeah, it's really special.' Played opposite the British Open, the tournament was co-sanctioned by the European tour. With the victory, Gerard received a spot in the PGA Championship next year but not the Masters. Van Rooyen had an eight-point day. He made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 15th and a 30-footer for birdie on the par-4 18th. 'Mixed emotions,' van Rooyen said. 'Really happy with how I fought. Left some shots out there the last few days unfortunately with the putter, but can't expect to make everything, right? So maybe I'm a bit too hard on myself.' Todd Clements of England was third with 39 points after a 16-point round. Beau Hossler scored 17 points Sunday to tie for fourth at 37 with Max McGreevy (16) and Jacques Kruyswijk (10). Tied for the third-round lead with Rico Hoey, Gerard made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 third and holed a 35-footer from the fringe on the par-5 11th. On the 11th, he hit his approach into the rough, but was allowed to take relief and move his ball to the fringe because of a sprinkler head. Gerard followed both seven-point runs with consecutive bogeys — with a point deducted for bogey — and missed a 3-footer on 16 for a three-putt bogey. The winner made a 5-foot birdie putt on 14 to get back the points he lost with the bogeys on the previous two holes. He also quickly canceled out the consecutive front-nine bogeys with a birdie on No. 7. Gerard played for the sixth straight week — a string that began with the U.S. Open and took him to Scotland last week. He was ninth and second in consecutive events in Texas in April. Hoey tied for eighth at 34 after a scoreless round. ___ AP golf:

Coldplay returns to the stage with a warning: ‘We're going to use our cameras'
Coldplay returned to the stage for the first time since a viral 'Kiss Cam' incident at one of their concerts made global headlines and prompted the resignation of a tech CEO. While the band did not directly acknowledge the controversy, frontman Chris Martin gave a tongue-in-cheek nod to the episode during their performance at Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin on Saturday, July 19. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,' Martin told the cheering audience during the now-infamous 'Jumbotron Song' portion of the concert, according to a clip shared on social media. 'How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' He added, 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.' The remark comes just days after a show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on Wednesday, July 1, where a couple's panicked reaction to being shown on the venue's Jumbotron ignited an online firestorm. The woman quickly turned away, and the man ducked out of view as the camera landed on them. 'Oh, look at these two! Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy,' Martin said to the crowd at the time. The man was later identified as Andy Byron, then CEO of data company Astronomer. Byron resigned on Saturday, July 19, following days of Internet scrutiny and his placement on leave. Byron had served as CEO of the company since 2023. He has two children with his wife, educator Megan Kerrigan Byron. Astronomer, in a statement, cited the importance of leadership accountability and maintaining company values. The woman in the video, identified in some reports as Kristin Cabot, the firm's chief human resources officer, has reportedly also been placed on leave. While Coldplay has not issued a formal statement, the band's Instagram recap of the Madison show omitted any reference to the incident.

Scheffler's Fourth Major Win Evokes Prime-Tiger Woods Comparisons

(Photo by Alex Pantling/R&A/R&A via Getty Images) When Tiger Woods was in his prime and took a 54-hole lead into the final round of a tournament, the result felt like a foregone conclusion. It often seemed the rest of the field was playing for second place. Scottie Scheffler's dominating victory at The Open Championship – and fourth win in eight starts – had that same feeling of inevitability. The 27-year-old Texas carried a four-shot lead into the final round and promptly birdied three of the first five holes at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland to quell any questions about whether he might relinquish the lead. Scheffler won with relentless efficiency, finishing 17-under par overall, and the winning margin felt wider than it was. "What he's doing is so dominant and so clinical," NBC Sports analyst and former professional golfer Brandel Chamblee said of Scheffler, who has moved within a U.S. Open win of the career Grand Slam. "I can't help but think that we are on an inevitable march towards one of the greatest careers in the history of golf." Given his current streak of dominance, including 11 straight Top 10 finishes and four wins, among them two majors, since the start of May, the comparisons to Woods are perhaps inevitable.

More) "I don't think we thought the golfing world would see someone as dominant as Tiger come through so soon, and here's Scottie sort of taking that throne of dominance," said Xander Schauffele, who won the PGA Championship and Open Championship in 2024, but finished seven shots behind Scheffler despite closing with rounds of 69, 66 and 68. "You can't even say he's on a run. He's just been killing it for over two years now. He's a tough man to beat, and when you see his name up on the leaderboard, it sucks for us." $90 Million in Career Earnings All 17 of Scheffler's wins have come over the past 3 1/2 years, a stretch that includes Masters Tournament titles in 2022 and 2024, and the PGA Championship in May of this year. By winning another $3.1 million, Scheffler pushed his career earnings past $90 million, the fourth-highest total in history. With his final-round coronation at Royal Portrush, Scheffler collected his fourth career major 1,197 days after his first – the exact timeframe Woods needed to go from one to four majors. Given the vagaries of the Open Championship – including wind, weather and the different skillsets and mindset that links golf demands – Scheffler is just the second No. 1 player since the advent of the Official Golf Ranking in 1986 to claim the Claret Jug. The other was Woods. "I look everywhere and I try to find some kind of weakness, somewhere where he can get derailed, and I just can't find it," NBC Sports analyst Paul McGinley, a former Irish professional who captained Europe to victory at the 2014 Ryder Cup, says of Scheffler. "He might even prove to have more longevity than Tiger Woods." A fan favorite at Royal Portrush, Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland finished seven strokes behind ... More winner Scottie Scheffler. (Photo by) Rory McIlroy finished in a tie for seventh place at 10-under par and the Irishman, the fan favorite all week at Royal Portrush, acknowledged that no one in the pack could 'hang with Scottie this week' given the mistake-free efficiency with which Scheffler was playing. "He is the bar that we're all trying to get to,' McIlroy said. 'In a historical context, you could argue that there's only maybe two or three players in the history of the game that have been on a run (like) the one that Scottie's been on here for the last 24 to 36 months. Incredibly impressive." Scheffler's Final Round Scheffler's final-round performance at the Open Championship was particularly Woods-esque. While names like McIlroy, Harris English, Chris Gotterup, Wyndham Clark, Haotong Li, and Matt Fitzpatrick all shot below par on Sunday and at times seemed poised to make charges, Scheffler charged right alongside them. He had four front-nine birdies and offset his lone double bogey of the week (a 6 on the par 4 8th hole) with two birdies over the next four holes. "That was, I felt like, one of my best performances mentally," Scheffler said. "To only have one double -- really only one over-par hole in the last 36 holes of a major championship -- that's how you're able to win these tournaments.'

(Photo by Stuart Franklin/R&A/R&A via Getty Images) Harris English, who has twice been a major runner-up to Scheffler this year -- by a combined nine strokes at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship -- summed up the challenge facing the rest of the tour. "There's no stat that he's bad in,' English said afterward. 'It's like, how do you beat this guy?" Tiger Woods Comparisons Scheffler remained characteristically humble during his post-championship news conference when asked about the comparisons to Woods. "I still think they're a bit silly. Tiger won, what, 15 majors? This is my fourth. I just got one-fourth of the way there," Scheffler said. "I think Tiger stands alone in the game of golf. He was inspirational for me growing up. He was a very, very talented guy." Scottie Scheffler with son Bennett and the Claret Jug on the 18th green after winning the 153rd Open ... More Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. (Photo by Alex Pantling/R&A/R&A via Getty Images) And yet, when you look at Scheffler's pace, his trophy cabinet is growing almost as quickly. Already, only 21 golfers in history have won more than his four major titles. Besides Woods, who hasn't played in 2025, the only other active players with more majors are Phil Mickelson (6), Brooks Koepka (5), and McIlroy (5). At just 27 years old, Scheffler still has time on his side. And if the comparisons to 'prime Tiger' feel premature now, that sentiment may not last much longer.
