James Holzhauer is the single most dominant competitor in America right now. Not Tiger. Not Ovi. Not [checks notes] Damian Lillard. No, no. James Holzhauer, a professional sports gambler from Las Vegas who is currently in the throes of one of the most improbable, incredible runs in Jeopardy! history. If you haven't been DVRing every episode to watch on 30-40 minute delay during dinner like, um, some people have been, on Wednesday night Holzhauer—who has already broken the single-game Jeopardy! record TWICE—crossed the $1-million-dollar mark with another remarkable $118,816-dollar display.

In that spirit, we decided to compare Holzhauer's April stockpile with the prize money earned by some of your favorite pros over the course of the entire PGA ..

No. 10 at Pebble Beach is a par 4 with a sloping fairway and green. The approach shot must carry the inlet on the right.

Damian Lillard's ability to take over games has long been the stuff of legend. But after what the Portland point guard did on Tuesday night, there deserves to be a Dame Time wing of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. And this will be Exhibit A.

We've seen NBA stars clear out the court for game-winning attempts countless times, but we've never seen anything quite like this. Tied at 115 in Game 5 of an opening-round playoff game against the Thunder, Lillard dribbled down the clock from just inside half court before launching a shot over the outstretched hand of potential NBA Defensive Player of the Year Paul George. And while the shot was amazing enough, the reaction—a wave goodbye to the vanquished Thunder—may have been even better. Check it out:

Column: Tiger Woods still the show stopper on a tour that now has stronger supporting cast

But a Major League player on the links? Apparently, fast.
Former outfielder Eric Byrnes set a new world record for playing 420 holes at Half Moon Bay Golf Links in California in a 24-hour window on Monday and Tuesday.
Byrnes has been doing a host of publicity stunts for his Let Them Play foundation, which encourages kids to get outside and play. Byrnes had previously completed the first-ever transcontinental Triathlon Across America, swimming seven miles across the San Francisco Bay, biking over 2,400 miles from Oakland to Chicago and running 905 miles from Chicago to New York City.
The 43-year-old broke the previous mark of 401 holes set in 1971 by Australian Ian Colston in just over 22-and-a-half hours.
“I remember him coming home once saying, ‘I just played 18 holes in 48 minutes,’” said Brynes' wife Tarah to a San Francisco CBS affiliate. “My first rea..

On this episode of Rules Live, USGA Rules staffers Craig Winter and Ben Schade discuss terminology changes and the new Local Rule regarding damaged clubs, among other topics.

Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we admit, it was tough to get excited to watch golf the week after that Masters. So kudos to Jim Nantz, Nick Faldo and the rest of the CBS crew for carrying on with their jobs. And a big tip of the cap to those who contended at Augusta National and teed it up at Harbour Town. I don’t know how they found the motivation (Well, at least for 63 holes). Brooks Koepka, on the other hand, took a page out of Dustin Johnson’s book (Well, old book since DJ was collapsing on the back nine at Hilton Head) and moved on from a close call in a major by taking his lady to a tropical paradise:

Solid strategy. But there are no in-season off weeks at The Grind—except for a honeymoon to St. Lucia where the wife and I posed for slightly less risqué pics—so we’re ready to bare discuss it all. Let’s do it.
