The article explores the significance of the CONCACAF Champions League's latest developments, particularly featuring Lionel Messi's anticipated performances with Inter Miami against Club América and other MLS contenders. It delves into the geopolitical and competitive dynamics involved, offering insights on how these matches have taken center stage in regional soccer. Furthermore, the piece highlights the potential impact of these high-profile fixtures on North American soccer's growth and popularity.

It’s questionable if Lionel Messi will appear in Wednesday night’s game against Nashville as he continues to recover from a leg injury. | Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports A week of pivotal matches continues Wednesday with Inter Miami vs. Nashville and a late night Liga MX showdown If you haven’t been watching the CONCACAF Champions League tournament, this week would be an excellent week to start. The tournament, in which the winner earns a definitive berth into next year’s FIFA Club World Cup, is now deep into the Round of 16, with three matchups worth watching — two featuring clubs from Major League Soccer. But first… What the heck is the CONCACAF Champions League? The tournament pits the champions of various tournaments within the umbrella of the CONCACAF confederation against each other for a winner-take-all prize of being the best club in North, and Central America and the Caribbean. In addition to just the bragging rights, the winner earns a berth into the larger FIFA Club World Cup encompassing the best of the best from federations from around the world. Short answer: It’s essentially the UEFA Champions League, but for the Americas and island nations within proximity. With that explainer out of the way, here are those matches that even a casual fan can appreciate. This matchup always lives up to the hype. Pic. Twitter. Com/tJXtpzoQ0D — Major League Soccer (@MLS) March 13, 2024 Inter Miami vs. Nashville Wednesday, 8: 15 p. M. , ET (FS2) Sure watch this one for Messi, but it’s so much more than that. Inter Miami and Nashville have battled in this tournament and are tied 2-2 on aggregate from the first leg with Miami holding a slight edge due to away goals. Messi, who could return from a leg injury sustained against Montreal during their MLS matchup on Sunday would be a big boost. However, as of Wednesday afternoon, Miami coach Tata Martino hadn’t provided word on Messi’s status. Currently, Miami leads MLS’ Eastern Conference. Nashville? They sit 10th with three draws in MLS competition. Club America vs. Guadalajara Wednesday, 10: 30 p. M. ET (Fubo TV) It’s Liga MX at its best for a real prize. The game is even set to kickoff inside iconic Azteca Stadium. Guadalajara will be playing a bit of chase in this second leg matchup considering America leads the series, 3-0, but Guadalajara is hoping to shake off a winless streak, with a loss and a draw in its most recent games, but with just one win in their last five. Club America enters on a four game win streak in all competitions with a goal differential of 11-3. Up up and Monterrey ✈️ pic. Twitter. Com/6HDp6kdnl6 — FC Cincinnati (@fccincinnati) March 12, 2024 Monterrey vs. Cincinnati Thursday, 10: 15 p. M. , ET (FS2) This game might say more about Cincinnati than it does about Monterrey. Cincy will head down to Mexico, down a goal in aggregate to a Monterrey team many believe will be crowned champion and is the class of Liga MX at the moment. Cincy also was able to force a red card in their first meeting leaving Monterrey needing to do a bit of shuffling in advance. Also, despite sitting seventh in MLS’ Eastern Conference, Cincy is 3-1-1 in its last five meetings in all competitions.

Here’s our pick of must-watch CONCACAF Champions League matchups

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL Golf League has announced its schedule for 2025, featuring a state-of-the-art steel facility designed to enhance both player and fan experience. The league aims to revolutionize the golf landscape with its innovative approach and competitive events. This development signifies continued growth and interest in alternative formats of professional golf.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL league did not get off to a good start—a deflating one, in fact. But the new league— postponed a year because of a dome collapse —will officially kick off on Jan. 7, 2025, the first Tuesday of the year. ESPN will televise the league’s first match, which will be held two days after the conclusion of the NFL’s regular season. A week later, ESPN will air TGL’s second match on Jan. 14, 2025, one night after the ‘Worldwide Leader in Sports’ airs its Monday night NFL playoff game. Then, on Jan. 21, 2025, the night after college football’s national championship game, ESPN will telecast TGL’s third match of the season. The remainder of the 15-game schedule will be announced later this year. “As we plan the 2025 launch of TGL presented by SoFi, we now have the first three Tuesdays in January circled to introduce sports fans to this new form of team golf, ” said Mike McCarley, founder and CEO of TMRW Sports, in a statement. “January is a tremendous time of year for fans looking for prime-time sports, and TGL’s launch will complement the start of the PGA Tour season. ” The PGA Tour typically begins its season in Hawaii at The Sentry and the Sony Open during the first two weeks of January. However, that could all change in 2025, depending on whether the tour changes its structure, thanks to a possible deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). But if those two events remain on the golfing calendar next year, which is the most likely scenario, a travel snafu for some players could emerge. With The Sentry penciled in to finish on Sunday, Jan. 5, some TGL players would have to fly back to South Florida from Maui for the inaugural match two nights later. TGL A rendering of the new SoFi Center. TGL will host its events at the newly updated SoFi Center, a steel-supported structure located on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. More information about the intricacies of the SoFi Center follows below: SoFi Center is an unprecedented, tech-infused arena for golf and will create an intimate and unique “greenside” experience for fans with 1, 500 seats wrapping around TGL’s field of play, which is similar to the size of a football field at 97-yards long and 50-yards wide. TGL matches will start with teams teeing off from real grass tee boxes to play custom-designed, virtual holes projected onto a 3, 000-square-foot screen (64’x46’), more than 20 times larger than a standard golf simulator screen (144 square feet, 16’x9’). Once teams are inside approximately 50 yards they will transition to live action and finish each hole within TGL’s GreenZone, a 22, 475-square-foot short game complex that transforms between holes. Six TGL teams will compete during the league’s inaugural season, which are listed below: Atlanta Drive GC Justin Thomas Patrick Cantlay Billy Horschel Lucas Glover Boston Common Golf Rory McIlroy Adam Scott Keegan Bradley TBD (formerly Tyrrell Hatton, since joined LIV Golf) Jupiter Links Golf Club Tiger Woods Three players TBD Los Angeles Golf Club Collin Morikawa Justin Rose Sahith Theegala Tommy Fleetwood TGL New York Four players TBD TGL San Francisco Four players TBD Jack Milko is a golf staff writer for SB Nation’s Playing Through.

Shohei Ohtani recently addressed the media regarding allegations linked to a gambling scandal, emphasizing his commitment to transparency. Ohtani, a key MLB player, expressed his intent to cooperate fully with the investigation while maintaining his focus on the upcoming season. The implications of this situation are being closely monitored by MLB officials and fans alike.

Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images Ohtani’s press conference left everyone wanting more. Shohei Ohtani spoke to the media on Monday evening, his first appearance since news broke of a bizarre, swirling gambling scandal that named the Dodgers star. A series of back-and-forth statements and accusations eventually implicated former translator Ippei Mizuhara of theft and fraud, allegedly stealing $4. 5 million from Ohtani to pay off illegal gambling debt. This explanation by Ohtani’s lawyers raised more questions than it answered, and Ohtani’s statement on Monday didn’t clear anything up. Choosing not to field any questions from the media, the Dodgers star instead issued a statement which largely echoed what we’d heard before. Shohei Ohtani addresses the media regarding Ippei Mizuhara and the recent gambling allegations. Pic. Twitter. Com/tioSqvkPvn — SportsNet LA (@SportsNetLA) March 25, 2024 “I never bet on baseball, any other sports or never have asked somebody to do on my behalf. And I have never went through a bookmaker, to bet on sports. Up until a couple of days ago, I didn’t know that this was happening. Just to kind of just go over the result. In conclusion, Ippei has been stealing money from my account, and has told lies. [. . .] Ippei told to the media and to my representatives that I, you know, on behalf of a friend paid off debt. Upon further questioning it was revealed that it was actually in fact Ippei who was in debt, and told my representatives that I was paying off those debts. All of this has been a complete lie. [. . .] Obviously I never agreed to pay off the debt or you know, make payments to the bookmaker. ” The fundamental problem is that this account really doesn’t make a lot of sense. This version of events, which aims to completely divorce Ohtani from any wrongdoing, requires dozens of layers of checks and balances to be ignored, nobody having the wherewithal to catch massive fraud, and relies on the premise that Ippei, a long-term friend, had the nefariousness to steal money from Ohtani, but not hide it. Since Ohtani and his lawyers aren’t willing to answer any questions about the incident, citing an investigation — here’s what we want to know. Why did Ippei have access to Ohtani’s banking accounts? Regardless of the fact that Ippei was a close friend and Ohtani’s translator, it’s wholly bizarre that he would have the kind of extensive access to money required to initiate a wire transfer. This is a man who wasn’t Ohtani’s personal assistant, nor was he ever listed as a financial advisor of any kind. It’s unclear how, or why Ippei had the kind of control over an athlete’s money typically only reserved to high-level bankers or legal representatives who are on retainer. Why did nobody else manage this money? Ohtani is represented by CAA Sports, one of the largest agencies in the world. The amount of access to money managers, financial advisors, and bankers purely because of his representation is second-to-none. There are people in Ohtani’s orbit who are experienced at managing money of athletes and handling their finances. Obviously someone advised Ohtani on his back-loaded contract he signed with the Dodgers. So why, with so many people in the room, did Ohtani lean on Ippei to handle this role instead of literally anyone else? How was Ohtani unaware his money had been stolen? Part of the mystique of Shohei Ohtani has always been this mythos of his laser-focus on baseball, with an aloofness about everything else in life. Whether that’s true, or part of the branding behind him, it’s really the only way you can imagine he would be unaware of $4. 5 million leaving his bank account. To be clear: Ohtani is very wealthy, but he’s not stratospherically rich yet. To this point he’s earned approximately $42M from MLB, with other funds coming from endorsement deals and his earnings in Japan. It would be one thing to simply not notice $4. 5M missing when you have hundreds of millions in the bank, but the nature of Ohtani’s back-loaded Dodgers’ contract means that he needs to manage his money closer than most athletes. It’s very difficult to imagine that this kind of sum of money could simply leave his account without anyone noticing. Why did Ohtani’s representatives take Ippei at his word when they released their first statement to ESPN? When the media reached out to Ohtani’s camp for comment on the gambling controversy it was met with an initial response to ESPN that Ohtani was paying off Ippei’s gambling debt. That would have been a tremendous expense, but understandable when it comes to their relationship, and Ohtani being an incredible friend. Now why, when it comes to something as serious as a payment to an illegal bookmaker, would representatives for Ohtani simply take his translator at his word, instead of immediately finding out what was happening from Ohtani? The profound difference between “paying off a friend’s debt” and “he stole $4. 5M from me” was worth confirming with Ohtani himself — but we don’t know what exactly happened. Where does this leave us? An investigation is underway, which could take a tremendous amount of time. When it comes to the MLB’s internal review they want this to drag out. Major League Baseball has a vested interest in Ohtani staying on the field and being marketable for the entire season. Everything when it comes to this story exists on a spectrum. On the one side a Shohei Ohtani who is completely innocent of everything and truly got robbed, on the other its’ Ohtani being the gambler with Ippei as his fall guy. Neither of these extremes make sense. There are massive holes in each of them. So, like most things, the truth probably exists somewhere in the middle. It’s entirely likely that Shohei was helping out his friend, bailing him out of a horrific gambling debt — but had no idea about the illegality surrounding paying an illegal bookmaker. This would best explain how the damage control stepped in, why the statements were reversed, and how Ippei is now being required to take the hit, rather than Ohtani. There are still problems with this theory though, because that would mean Ippei was potentially willing to go to prison for his friend. The only thing that is certain is that this is all messy, and it’ll be a while before we know what truly happened — if at all.

Robert MacIntyre has made the decision to skip the Memorial Tournament, prioritizing family commitments over participation in the event. This decision highlights the importance of personal life balance even for professional athletes at the height of competitive seasons. MacIntyre's choice underscores a growing trend of athletes evaluating family and personal well-being alongside their professional obligations.

Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images McIntyre hinted at a trip home to Scotland after he won, and he made it official by withdrawing from the Memorial Tournament. Robert MacIntyre won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday to claim his first PGA Tour victory. That win got him into this week’s Memorial Tournament, the Travelers Championship, and, of course, the U. S. Open. However, the 27-year-old will not be in Dublin, Ohio. Instead, he will head home to Scotland and spend time with his family. This decision seems to have come at the last minute, especially since the Scottish golfer did not know whether he would play. “Yeah, well, I’ve not even spoken to my mom, my family, my team, my managers, ” MacIntyre said Sunday night. “I’m guessing I’m going to have to (smiling). I would love to go home for a party, but I think we’ll probably play next week. ” A little over 12 hours later, he made his decision. The news became official when the PGA Tour Communications announced it on Monday. With his choice, Davis Thompson will replace him in the field at The Memorial Tournament. Robert MacIntyre WD from the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. Davis Thompson replaces MacIntyre in the field via the Aon Swing 5. — PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) June 3, 2024 Many players would jump at the chance to play at The Memorial, especially now that it is a Signature Event, but MacIntyre chose a trip back to Scotland instead. His decision does not come as a shock. He mentioned that he was homesick multiple times, and with this victory, MacIntyre can take off a week. “This is my fifth event in a row as well. I was planning to do U. S. Open qualifier tomorrow, 36 holes with my dad on the bag, ” he said after his win. “Thankfully, that’s off the cards. ” His next event will likely be the U. S. Open at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club June 13-16. Savannah Leigh Richardson is a golf staff writer for SB Nation’s Playing Through.

This article recounts a memorable interaction between PGA golfer Justin Thomas and NBA legend Michael Jordan during an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' Thomas shares an amusing story of how Jordan's competitive nature extends beyond basketball, affecting their golf game. This insight into players' personal experiences provides a unique perspective on sporting figures.

Justin Thomas on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Mar. 25, 2024. | Paramount Justin Thomas appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and told an incredible story involving Michael Jordan. Fresh off his appearance on season two of Netflix’s “Full Swing, ” Justin Thomas paid a visit to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York to chat with Late Show host Stephen Colbert. But instead of focusing the conversation on Full Swing, or the Ryder Cup, Colbert wanted Thomas to talk about the first time he played golf with Michael Jordan. Thomas’ story about the six-time NBA champion did not disappoint. “I [was] probably 15 years old, ” Thomas reminisced, as Colbert held up an old photo of him and Jordan side-by-side on the golf course. “He would always come to the Kentucky Derby, and I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. So he loves golf—he loved it then and still loves it now—and he wanted to play golf when he was in town. He had a friend who he played in the NBA with, Junior Bridgeman, who was friends with my Dad and put the connection together. So he would come out and play my Dad’s course. ” Bridgeman, of course, starred for the University of Louisville under legendary coach Danny Crum. He went on to play for the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers and then served as president of the NBA Players’ Association in the late 1980s. Later, he amassed tremendous wealth thanks to various business ventures. He also became a member of the PGA of America’s Board of Directors in 2008, the same year Louisville’s Valhalla Golf Club hosted the Ryder Cup. Valhalla will host the PGA Championship for a fourth time this May. As such, both Bridgeman and Jordan had plenty of cash when they played with a young Thomas at his Dad’s course in Kentucky. They also liked to play money games on the course. “[Jordan] would always call me little man, so he said to me, ‘Little man, go get your clubs you’re going to play the last seven holes with us, ” Thomas said. “He knew that I played golf, he didn’t know that I was decent, and nobody else had any idea. So [Jordan] said, ‘I’ll take little man and for whoever wants us. ’ Of course, everyone is looking at this kid who is 111 pounds. ” Thomas then said he felt “enough pressure” playing with Jordan, but that did not stop him from making four birdies and seven holes. “That helped me pay for my first car, ” Thomas joked. “I didn’t know the amount [we were playing for]. [Jordan] told everybody not to tell me how much because [I would freak out]. But I won probably three or four grand. It was a funny story. ” Jack Milko is a golf staff writer for SB Nation’s Playing Through. Be sure to check out @_PlayingThrough for more golf coverage.
