One that stood out: $75,000 for the chance to caddie for the 15-time major champion during a pro-am later this year.
The winner was Dave Gilbert, founder and CEO of National Funding. His bid eclipsed the $50,000 paid last year by Jim Williams, who caddied for Woods during the pro-am at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
Other notable auction items that went: Trips to Albany in the Bahamas and Diamante Cabo San Lucas, each for $20,000; as well as a Virtual Green putting machine, which nabbed a bid of $22,500.

Harvard baseball has most Harvard reaction to making first College World Series in 14 years

The sky is up and the earth is down. Water is wet and Harvard, bless their gifted hearts, are gonna Harvard. On Monday, the Harvard men's baseball team gathered to watch the College World Series selection show (an actual thing apparently) with eager anticipation. For the first time since 2005, the Crimson had claimed the Ivy League championship and stood poised for a rare CWS berth. The tension should have been palpable. You should have been able to cut the air with a knife. But this isn't The U, it's Harvard, so when the news came down that they would be playing Oklahoma State on Friday on ESPN PROPER (!!!), they instead reacted like Cousin Joffrey had just placed twelfth in the Head of the Charles Regatta.

14-year-old with cojones of steel challenges LeBron James to a three-point contest

Chris EliseThink about yourself at 14 years old. Dredge up all the mortifying middle-school memories you've buried deep. Remember all the video games you forgot you played and the bands you're embarrassed you liked. If you can face your fears and look your younger self in the eye, you might be surprised about the kid you find. One thing you probably won't discover, however, is an abundance of confidence. In fact, chances are you're still searching for it. Not Gabe Cupps, though. On Monday, the 14-year-old baller, who plays on the same team as Bronny James, challenged Bronny's pops LeBron (maybe you've heard of him) to a three-point contest in front of a gym full of people. LeBron, being the Good Guy™ that he his, obliged and what followed is enough to make even a NAVY Seal's palms sweat:

Not only does Cupps have the self-belief to challenge the greatest player on earth to a shooting contest, he even holds his own as the pair g..
