G FiumeA man bid $75,000 at Tiger Jam to carry this golf bag for Tiger Woods in a pro-am (Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images)Over the weekend, Tiger Woods held his annual fundraising event, Tiger Jam, in Las Vegas, where a number of auction items helped raise a hefty sum for Woods’ TGR Foundation.
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.
The weekend also included Woods hosting a clinic, during which he roasted a guy who bet $100,000 on him to win the Grand Slam this year, as well as a tough bad beat against Russell Westb..

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.

Jolly good, gents. Good, firm grips all round. Huzzah!
Of course, this is probably staged for the bemusement of internet sports writers every..

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..

Photo by Dan WintersSince 1967, the gold wristwatch on Jack Nicklaus' wrist has been a part of most every image of the 18-time major champion. It is one of many prized possessions the Golden Bear has accumulated throughout his legendary career, and now this ultra expensive watch is going up for auction. And if you want it, it could cost you a lottt of money.
The original 18-karat gold Rolex Day-Date that Nicklaus owned and worn is being auctioned for charity, with all the proceeds to be given to his Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, according to Nicklaus. According to reports, a similar watch owned by Paul Newman sold for $1`7.7 million in 2017. Jack's gold Rolex, which can be seen in most photographs of Jack after 1967, including 12 of his 18 major titles, might fetch a similar amount when it goes up for auction on Dec. 10.
If it does fetch in the range of tens of millions, it would undoubtedly be one of the most expensive sports memorabilia sales in recent me..

Icon Sportswire(Photo by Icon Sportswire)If you enjoy disaster stories, the Los Angeles Lakers' 2019 campaign is a masterpiece on par with “Titanic.” Half the team quit after a failed coup by LeBron James' agent/best friend. Their franchise icon quit because he a) felt backstabbed and b) didn't like working full-time. The team's owner made James Dolan seem competent.
A new ESPN story covers these narratives and more in deciphering where things went wrong for Los Angeles last season. However, no tale encapsulates the s*** show that was the Lakers than this tidbit about Lakers GM Rob Pelinka's “disingenuous” storytelling.
From ESPN:
One story shared around the organization unfolded in March 2018, when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was addressing the team at the Lakers' practice facility as part of the franchise's “Genius Talks” series.
Standing beside Johnson, Pelinka told a story about his former client, Bryant.
“There was one time when Kobe, who I worked ..

When you think of Cody Bellinger, the first thing that comes to mind is probably that sweet swing of his, one that's already produced 83 home runs in less than two and a half seasons. Nineteen of those have come this year, putting him just two behind the NL leader in dingers, Christian Yelich. Bellinger does lead the entire MLB in both RBIs (49) and batting average (.383) though, making him a potential candidate to win a Triple Crown, something that's only been done once in the last 52 years.

More attainable for Bellinger would be the MVP Award, one he could win solely based off his hitting stats if he keeps it up. His defense doesn't get nearly enough credit, though that appears to be changing, as MLB.com, the L.A. Times and the Sporting News have all run pieces in the last 24 hours praising his all-around play.
All five of Bellinger's tools were on display on Monday night in L.A. in the Do..
