The PGA Tour is exploring pathways for players to return from LIV Golf, even as the embattled breakaway circuit scrambles to rebrand and retain its stars ahead of the rumored withdrawal of Saudi funding. The golfing world was shaken last week by widespread reports that LIV only has support from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund guaranteed until the end of the season, after which the high-spending tour would face a major financial deficit if it continues. That has prompted speculation that the entire circuit could soon collapse, leaving marquee players like Bryson DeChambeau plotting their futures.Asked this week if the PGA tour had plans to welcome back defectors from rival LIV like DeChambeau, as it already has with five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, CEO Brian Rolapp said the PGA was "thinking about it.""Brooks came back onto the tour because he made a phone call and said, 'Look, I'm out of my contract. I'm ready to come back,'" Rolapp told the Pat McAfee Show on Monday."So we're thinking about it. We'll react when we have an opportunity to react.He added: "I'm interested in whatever makes the PGA Tour better."Whether DeChambeau would want to return to the PGA Tour is not clear, particularly given the punitive financial terms already imposed on the likes of Koepka.DeChambeau's wildly popular YouTube channel regularly draws over two million views per video, and he could feasibly choose to only play golf's four major tournaments.Even if LIV Golf continues next season, DeChambeau's contract will be up, and The Athletic on Monday reported that the two-time major winner is demanding "up to $500 million" to re-sign.LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil, who last week told staff that the tour would continue "full throttle" this season, said the circuit would "probably" have to raise money going forward.<h2>'OKGC'</h2>One option he has frequently touted is selling equity stakes in LIV's 13 teams.On Tuesday, the tour announced it was rebranding the Smash GC team -- formerly captained by Koepka -- as "OKGC", inspired by its new, Oklahoma City-native captain Talor Gooch.It has previously rebranded other teams to help attract fans, sponsors and potential investors from specific international markets, including "Korean Golf Club", and the all-South African "Southern Guards".The "OKGC" rebranding is "a significant step in LIV Golf's strategy to connect its teams to home markets, creating stronger identities and deeper relationships with fans, partners and communities," said a tour statement."As the league continues to grow globally, OKGC highlights the growing impact of localized, domestic team identities within the LIV Golf franchise model," said the statement.Still, selling team stakes alone would not begin to plug the estimated $5 billion that Saudi backers have spent on the four-year-old LIV Golf tour to date.In January, Bloomberg reported that the league was targeting valuations up to $300 million per team.

Abhishek Sharma’s unbeaten 135 and a clinical bowling performance from Eshan Malinga and Harsh Dubey helped SunRisers Hyderabad storm past Delhi Capitals to a 47-run win at home on Tuesday (Apr 21) in IPL 2026. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-abhishek-sharma-leads-srh-charge-with-stunning-135-against-delhi-capitals-breaks-records-travis-head-1776786766330">Abhishek roared to form with his second IPL hundred</a>, his first this season, to help the hosts post the highest team total (242/2) thus far this season.

Dubey’s left-arm unorthodox came in handy at the death too, as SRH restricted DC to 195 for nine in the second innings.

Hyderabad seemed to have found its mojo after a shaky start to the season. Following their win over the Rajasthan Royals, SRH won two games on the trot, including against CSK and now DC, both at home. Despite injury crises, the Ishan Kishan-led unit has begun clicking as a team. With regular captain Pat Cummins bound to return at the end of April, SRH would likely go from gaining momentum to becoming unbeatable. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Delhi won the toss and sent the SRH batters into bat first. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head stitched a 97-run stand inside nine overs before Kishan and Abhishek added 79 for the second wicket to take the game away from Delhi. With Abhishek reaching his record second IPL hundred and Henrich Klaasen scoring a quickfire unbeaten 37, SRH posted a winning total of 242 for two.<h3>Malinga, Dubey show</h3>The Sri Lankan pace pair of Dilshan Madushanka and Malinga did the damage up front, with the left-armer accounting for seamer Pathum Nissanka in his second over. A gritty partnership between KL Rahul and Nitish Rana kept them afloat in the chase before three quick wickets within four balls broke all their momentum.&nbsp; &nbsp;Delhi failed to find a rhythm afterwards. Despite another solid stand between two match winners, Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs, DC remained on the back foot. Dubey, introduced late, picked three wickets in his two-over spell to end all but DC’s hopes.&nbsp;As a result, Delhi fell shy of the target by 47 runs.

Abhishek Sharma has returned to form with a blistering 135* against Delhi Capitals, as SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) post a gigantic 242 for two in the first innings. Abhishek broke several records during his unforgettable outing on Tuesday at his IPL franchise home, smashing 10 sixes and as many fours. Alongside him, Travis Head (37), stand-in captain Ishan Kishan (25) and Henrich Klaasen (37*) also contributed, as the hosts post the highest team total thus far this season.

Abhishek needed just 59 more runs to breach the 2000-run mark for SRH in IPL, and not only did he achieve that feat, becoming the fourth SRH batter and second Indian after Shikhar Dhawan, he also equalled David Warner’s tally of most hundreds for the franchise in the cash-rich league. While last season he scored his maiden IPL hundred at the very venue (against the Punjab Kings), he added one more to the tally this time; Abhishek, however, fell shy of surpassing his best IPL score (141*). &nbsp;“It's always special to perform in front of the Orange Army, and everybody knows the love I have for this ground is unmatchable,” Abhishek said of his brilliant hundred against Delhi Capitals.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/will-jacks-touches-down-in-mumbai-ahead-of-crucial-csk-mi-april-23-tie-ipl-2026-1776783632196">The Wait is Over: Will Jacks touches down in Mumbai ahead of crucial CSK tie</a> &nbsp;Delhi won the toss and sent SRH into bat first, a decision they perhaps regretted after the first innings.

Klaasen’s late blitz helped the cause, as following Abhishek’s second IPL hundred, he took the onus on himself and punished Delhi bowlers.

The Wait is Over: Will Jacks touches down in Mumbai ahead of crucial CSK tie

After Mumbai Indians secured a commanding 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans, former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin suggested that fans may soon witness the very best of Jasprit Bumrah, especially after the pacer ended a rare six-match stretch without a wicket. While standout performances from Tilak Varma, who struck a brilliant century under pressure and Ashwani Kumar, who claimed four wickets, revived Mumbai’s campaign, Bumrah’s return to the wicket column was another major positive.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speaking on his YouTube show Ash Ki Baat, Ashwin noted that Bumrah had actually bowled well in the opening matches, but the growing focus on his lack of wickets may have affected him mentally.

Ravichandran Ashwin has backed Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya to return to their best form following Mumbai Indians’ dominant win over Gujarat Titans.

After Mumbai Indians secured a commanding 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans, former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin suggested that fans may soon witness the very best of Jasprit Bumrah, especially after the pacer ended a rare six-match stretch without a wicket. While standout performances from Tilak Varma, who struck a brilliant century under pressure and Ashwani Kumar, who claimed four wickets, revived Mumbai’s campaign, Bumrah’s return to the wicket column was another major positive. Speaking on his YouTube show Ash Ki Baat, Ashwin noted that Bumrah had actually bowled well in the opening matches, but the growing focus on his lack of wickets may have affected him mentally. This was evident during games against Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he appeared frustrated and conceded runs. "I still think Bumrah bowled really well in the first two matches, but then the team started losing. Then the narrative also started that Bumrah was not getting wickets. That was probably playing on his mind. He got a wicket, and that was bound to happen. In the last two games, he is not the Bumrah that I have seen, but chances are that we will see the best of him ahead," Ashwin said.

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener Abhishek Sharma is nearing a historic feat for his IPL franchise, needing just 59 more runs to enter an elusive list. Sitting on the brink of a major milestone for the list of SRH batters to score 2000 and more runs, Abhishek has a date with history on Tuesday (Apr 21). Abhishek has scored 1941 runs for his IPL team, and if he scores 59 runs or more, he will become the fourth SRH batter since David Warner, Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson to complete 2000 runs or more. While Warner sits at the top with over 4000 runs for SRH (4014 runs in 95 matches), averaging 49.55, Dhawan is second on the list with 2768 runs. Ex-New Zealand captain Williamson is third, with 2101 runs for the Orange Army.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the left-handed opener has scored 188 runs thus far in six contested matches this time, with Ishan Kishan (213) and Heinrich Klaasen (283) ahead of him.

Chennai Super Kings have suffered a major blow in Indian Premier League 2026, with promising youngster Ayush Mhatre ruled out for the rest of the season due to a left hamstring tear.

Gujarat Titans suffered a crushing 99-run loss to Mumbai Indians in match 30 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium. Following the defeat, batting coach Matthew Hayden did not hold back, labeling the outing as “a terrible performance.” Speaking at the post-match press conference, Hayden said the team’s batting display fell far short of expectations. He emphasised that a margin close to 100 runs is unacceptable for a side with such a strong lineup.&nbsp;&nbsp;“As a batting coach, I expect our margins to be a lot smaller than 100 (99 runs). That is an unacceptable scorecard for our batting unit. When you look down at our batting lineup, we've got wonderful players who have to be in a better mindset and better position to take their opportunities, and that will be our expectation moving forward. We've got to be just a lot better than where we were today. That was a terrible performance,” said Hayden.&nbsp;Earlier, after being asked to bat, Mumbai Indians posted a formidable 199/5, powered by Tilak Varma, who hammered an unbeaten 101 off just 45 deliveries, his first IPL century. Despite losing wickets early, MI surged in the final overs, piling on 73 runs in the last four. Gujarat’s bowlers struggled as Prasidh Krishna (1/54) and Ashok Sharma conceding heavily at economy rates exceeding 12 runs per over.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-updated-points-table-mi-rise-to-seventh-gt-remain-sixth-1776758585579">IPL 2026 updated points table: MI rise to seventh, GT remain sixth</a>&nbsp;Speaking about the bowling in the last four overs, he said, "When you look back at those last four overs, that was just a horror story. 73 off the last four is unacceptable for world-class players. And that bowling line-up has to reflect on that performance, because it's been a number of times in this tournament where key players like Prasidh have gone for big runs in their overs, and it was purely an executional thing." Kagiso Rabada was one of the best performers for GT in the match, claiming three wickets while conceding 33 runs in his four overs. Hayden praised Rabada's performance and said, "Rabada had an outstanding day and, in fact, is having a very good tournament. I mean, his pace today is a nightmare for batting units. 150, consistently above 140, and hitting very good areas as a world-class player is exactly where we need him to be."&nbsp;Also Read -<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-not-their-role-batting-coach-hayden-defends-tewatia-shahrukh-failure-after-top-order-collapse-costs-gt-vs-mi-1776759205391"> IPL 2026 | Hayden defends middle order after top 3 failure costs GT vs MI</a>&nbsp;In reply, Gujarat never got going as they suffered a dramatic top-order collapse, losing Sai Sudharsan for a golden duck and slipping to 45/3 inside six overs. The innings further crumbled as Ashwani Kumar (4/24), Mitchell Santner (2/16), and AM Ghazanfar (2/17) ran through the batting lineup, bundling Gujarat out for 100. Hayden also criticised the batting middle-order of GT and stressed that top-order batters need to play more balls. "The middle order was undoubtedly exposed today. When they're coming in within six overs (powerplay), you know that you're in deep trouble. The thing about the power players is that you can't win it from there, especially in a run chase, but you can definitely lose it, and we lost it in the power play," he concluded. After this match, Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans have slipped to sixth position with three wins and three losses in six games.&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

Also Read - IPL 2026 updated points table: MI rise to seventh, GT remain sixth Speaking about the bowling in the last four overs, he said, "When you look back at those last four overs, that was just a horror story. 73 off the last four is unacceptable for world-class players. And that bowling line-up has to reflect on that performance, because it's been a number of times in this tournament where key players like Prasidh have gone for big runs in their overs, and it was purely an executional thing." Kagiso Rabada was one of the best performers for GT in the match, claiming three wickets while conceding 33 runs in his four overs. Hayden praised Rabada's performance and said, "Rabada had an outstanding day and, in fact, is having a very good tournament. I mean, his pace today is a nightmare for batting units. 150, consistently above 140, and hitting very good areas as a world-class player is exactly where we need him to be."

The innings further crumbled as Ashwani Kumar (4/24), Mitchell Santner (2/16), and AM Ghazanfar (2/17) ran through the batting lineup, bundling Gujarat out for 100. Hayden also criticised the batting middle-order of GT and stressed that top-order batters need to play more balls. "The middle order was undoubtedly exposed today. When they're coming in within six overs (powerplay), you know that you're in deep trouble. The thing about the power players is that you can't win it from there, especially in a run chase, but you can definitely lose it, and we lost it in the power play," he concluded. After this match, Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans have slipped to sixth position with three wins and three losses in six games. With inputs from agencies

IPL 2026 updated points table: MI rise to seventh, GT remain sixth

Gujarat Titans batting coach Matthew Hayden has come to the defence of middle order batters after 99 runs loss vs Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2026 on Monday (Apr 20) at Ahmedabad. Hayden thinks players like Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan should not be facing many balls as they train for impact. Chasing 200, Gujarat were bowled out for 100 runs - one less than MI batter Tilak Varma's 101 not out - as they lost third out six matches in the season. For GT, Washington Sundar (26), Glenn Phillips (6), Tewatia (8), and Shahrukh (17) scored 57 runs between them as the team became 79/6 from 54/3 in space of 3.4 overs. Hayden alluded that the top order not firing was the reason behind their loss vs MI.<h2>Why GT batting coach Hayden doesn't Tewatia and Shahrukh to face lot of balls?</h2>Speaking at the press conference after the match, Hayden said: "We shouldn't be allowing, you know, Tiwu [Tewatia] or Shahrukh Khan or these guys lots of balls. That's not their role. That's not what they train for. You know, we are a very good thinking batting unit. We're not a conservative batting unit. You don't go out and get 200s as often as we do being conservative. But they're a thinking batting unit and they're an adaptive batting unit. And what that means is that they've got their roles and they play them and today they simply didn't."<h2>GT batting falters in powerplay</h2>Chasing a modest 200, GT top order failed to make an impact as they were reduced to 45/3 after the first six overs of the powerplay. Opener Sai Sudharsan was the first to go - dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah on the first ball of chase for a golden duck. Jos Buttler followed suit in the next over, scoring 5 off 6 balls before being sent back by MI skipper Hardik Pandya. GT captain Shubman Gill departed in the penultimate over of the powerplay on 14. He was dismissed by Ashwani Kumar who won Player of the Match (POTM) for his 4/24 four overs. &nbsp;Apart from Gill, Ashwani also dismissed Tewatia, Shahrukh, and Rashid Khan as well.

Why Carlos Alcaraz may not play French Open 2026? Alcaraz had his right wrist in a protective cast while receiving the Laureus award. The injury caused him to withdraw from Madrid Open last week, a day after he got his wrist treated during R1 6-4, 6-2 victory over Otto Virtanen in Barcelona.

We’ll see what the tests show. But I prefer to come back a bit later rather than rush,"Alcaraz said when asked if he'll play at the Roland Garros. "We've been trying to do everything we can do to make sure that this test goes well. I'm trying to be very patient. But we are good, we are just waiting a little bit. We have a few tests in the next few days and then we will see how the injury is, and what the next steps will be," he also told Spanish television channel TVE. How Alcaraz reacted to Laureus award win? The 22-year-old termed being named as Laureus Sportsperson of Year as 'incredible and something more than winning tennis titles.' "As a tennis player, I compete for titles on the court, but this Laureus Statuette means something more as it’s a recognition among the greatest athletes in the world, across all sport. "Three years ago, I received the Laureus Breakthrough Award in Paris and met one of my heroes, Leo Messi, who won the Laureus Sportsman Award. At the time, I dreamt that maybe one day I would join the great Leo Messi on the Sportsman list, and today, I have. Messi, Federer, Djokovic, Usain Bolt, and, of course, the great Rafa Nadal. I am following in the footsteps of giants. That makes this moment so special," he added.

Alcaraz had his right wrist in a protective cast while receiving the Laureus award. The Spaniard shared the information while receiving Laureus award for the Best Sportsperson of the Year 2025 on Monday (Apr 20) in Madrid, Spain.

Mumbai Indians (MI) won the IPL 2026 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday (Apr 20) by 99 runs to snap their four-match losing streak. This was MI's only second win in six match after winning the opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders. For GT, the loss, their third of the season, broke their three-match winning streak. Batting first MI scored a par total of 199/5 in 20 overs with Tilak Varma scoring 101 not out off 45 balls. While chasing, GT could never get going and were bowled out for just 100 runs. Despite the loss, GT remain sixth on the points table with 6 points from three wins and three losses from six matches while MI are in seventh spot with four points from two wins and four losses in six matches.<h2>GT batting fails to show up</h2>In a chase of 200, a modest one in the current era of attacking batting, GT batters failed to show up at own home ground. GT's chase started with Jasprit Bumrah ending his wicket draught on the first ball, dismissing Sai Sudharsan for a golden duck. Skipper Shubman Gill (14) and Jos Buttler (5 off 6) also departed inside the powerplay, leaving GT three down for 45 runs after the end of six overs.

Two-time FIFA World Cup winner, veteran right-back Cafu, said on Monday that the forthcoming 2026 edition in North America is Brazil’s best chance to end their 24-year drought for a world title. Cafu-led Brazil won their last World Cup in 2002, beating Germany in the final, while he was also his side’s cornerstone during their 1994 triumph against Italy in the penalty shootout. The former five-time winners, however, haven’t tasted success since the 2002 edition.&nbsp;"Twenty-four years after the last title win, I think it's the perfect moment for Brazil," Cafu told reporters in Madrid, where he is attending the Laureus Awards. "We've also brought in a serial winner of a coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who will add to the greatness of the Brazilian national team." &nbsp;Cafu said Brazil already had strength in midfield and attack, so Ancelotti had focused on strengthening the defence for this year's tournament to be held in the US, Mexico and Canada. &nbsp;"Because if Brazil doesn't concede goals in a World Cup, they're sure to score a goal per game," Cafu said.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/premier-league-title-race-set-for-grandstand-finish-as-man-city-beat-arsenal-in-crunch-contest-1776619505627">Premier League title race set for grandstand finish as Man City beat Arsenal in crunch contest</a> &nbsp;He said he hoped Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior, a player often embroiled in controversy, would have a strong tournament, saying: "The World Cup is the best way to overcome any kind of controversy. &nbsp;"In those eight matches (if they reach the final), Vinícius Junior has the potential to show the whole world his worth and what he can do in terms of football." &nbsp;Vinícius produced an assist in the 3-1 victory over Croatia in Orlando on April 1, which helped dispel doubts after the defeat against France in another friendly. &nbsp;Endrick, 19, also shone in the Croatia win. &nbsp;"I think it's a good time for him," said Cafu, who believes Real Madrid's decision to loan the forward to French club Lyon last year had been a positive move for the teenager. "It did him a lot of good. It helped him grow, play, make his mark, and become a key player. It's obvious that at Real Madrid, with so many stars, it's difficult for a young player to become a key player. &nbsp;"He's a young player who can contribute a lot to Brazil, and I'm sure Ancelotti is looking at him favourably," added Cafu. &nbsp;Bookmakers have placed Brazil among the top five favourites, with reigning European champions Spain currently leading the way.&nbsp;(With inputs from AFP)

Former Indian seamer Zaheer Khan has provided a reality check to ODI batting mainstay and Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer amid rumours of BCCI selectors zeroing in on him as Suryakumar Yadav’s successor as next T20I captain. Iyer has been in remarkable form in the ongoing IPL 2026, leading his team from the front. While his captaincy continues to make headlines, his batting form is what has grabbed everyone’s attention. At 31 and having all the attributes needed to lead an Indian Team, Iyer remains the talk of the town.&nbsp;Although he is Team India’s ODI vice-captain, Iyer hasn’t played a T20I since December 2023. Speaking on Cricbuzz, Zaheer said instead of eyeing the T20I captaincy, with the axe hovering over current skipper Suryakumar Yadav, Iyer must first focus on finding a spot in the T20 World Cup-winning team.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/-our-biggest-victory-ricky-ponting-hails-pbks-dominant-win-over-lsg-1776689464010">'Our biggest victory': Ricky Ponting hails PBKS’ dominant win over LSG</a> &nbsp;“First, being part of the T20 setup will be on his mind.

Shapoor Zadran, the former Afghanistan seamer, is battling a rare life-threatening disease called Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in an intensive care unit in a Delhi hospital, where he moved to in January this year. Following a proud international career, where he used to open the bowling, Zadran fights stage four HLH, which usually occurs in children; it can also affect adults, who are prone to infection or have had cancer.&nbsp;In this case, the patient suffers hyperinflammation, triggered by an overactive immune system, leading to damage to the body’s tissues, including the bone marrow, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. Shapoor, who represented Afghanistan in 80 games, first complained of the symptoms last October, after which the doctors in Afghanistan suggested that he move to India for further treatment, his brother Ghamai Zadran confirmed. &nbsp;He also revealed that Rashid Khan and Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) chairman Mirwais Ashraf’s contacts helped Shapoor receive his India visa quickly. While Ashraf spoke with former BCCI secretary and current ICC president Jay Shah, Rashid reached out to the top brass in the franchise circuit.

Australian gloveman Josh Inglis will join the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) squad ahead of their marquee May 4 match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2026. Inglis got married on April 18 and was thus away for the first half of the season. He will spend another week or 10 days away from the game before linking up with his new IPL team for the remainder of IPL 2026. On the other hand, LSG overseas seamer Anrich Nortje has left the camp, with the reason for his departure unconfirmed.&nbsp;Inglis played for Punjab Kings in the previous edition, hitting 278 runs at a strike rate of just over 162, helping his team reach their second IPL final, where they eventually lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

LSG also has a spin-bowling all-rounder, George Linde, who has played two of their last three games. Inglis’ selection will boost LSG’s batting attack, as they would now have someone to replace Pooran in the middle overs. &nbsp;On the other hand, Nortje’s absence has left LSG with no overseas quick for the remainder of the season, with Indian internationals comprising the bowling attack. &nbsp;Currently, LSG sits in the bottom half of the points table with just two wins from six contested matches.
