That blended iron set was dialed last week at the Farmers Insurance Open, as Rose was second in the field in Strokes Gained: Approach, on his way to a seven-shot win.
The TC-202 is one of the newest additions to the Miura lineup, replacing the highly successful TC-201, which was the last Miura iron to win on the PGA Tour before Rose’s victory last summer at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
A new T-Weight Bar in the back cavity combines the heel-toe weighting that made the TC-201 so forgiving with the center mass distribution found in the CB 57. By placing the mass right behind the sweet spot, the T-Weight Bar helps optimize both trajectory control and the sound and feel of the TC-202.
The TC-202s also have a progressive CG that gets lower as you go down through the set, which is why Rose chooses them for his 4-, 5- and 6-iron to help launch the ball in the air.
Meanwhile, his MC-502 short irons are a set of blades that focus on playability, two things that usually don’t go hand-in-hand. But the notch along the back of the iron moves mass lower, where it’s more useful, while allowing the club to keep a compact profile.

Miura MC-502 Custom Irons
New to the MC-502 is an increase in face progression (less offset), which has always been a welcomed look for the better player. Additionally, a softer, more rounded top line and toe profile found their way from the sketch pad to the final product. The result is an iron that is easy to align while delivering an unrivaled level of confidence and playability.
There were no compromises when it came to the new design. The sound, feel and performance, which have been hallmarks of Miura irons since 1957, embodied the finished product.

ONE bantamweight MMA contender Carlo Bumina-ang of the Philippines said Marcos Aurelio should keep his head up high in the aftermath of their ONE Fight Night 39 showdown.
‘The Bull’ pushed Aurelio from the ranks of the unbeaten on Jan. 23, handing the Brazilian his first career defeat with a crushing TKO finish inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.
The 31-year-old bucked a slow first round and found his opening in the ensuing frame, dropping Aurelio multiple times with ferocious punches to get back in the winning column.

In his ONE Fight Night 39 post-fight interviews, Bumina-ang graciously commended the talented 21-year-old.

The Team Lakay standout said Aurelio has a bright future and will bounce back from this loss.
“He’s still young and he can do more in this sport. And I know he will come back, like I said, I know he will come back stronger, and he will keep on pursuing his dream.”
“I’m just so happy that I was the first to stop him, but that’s what we always do, you know? We stop our opponents.”
Carlo Bumina-ang says Marcos Aurelio showed a lot of heart
Carlo Bumina-ang hit Marcos Aurelio with everything he’s got. Somehow, the 21-year-old survived the first wave of punishment and tried to regain his bearings.
‘The Bull’ shared with Nick Atkin of The Bangkok Post:
“Yeah, he was already stumbling. The referee gave him a few seconds to give him a chance, but he didn’t recover, so it needs to be stopped, or he would get more damage.”

Shakur Stevenson thrust his name into pound-for-pound contention with a statement victory over Teofimo Lopez on Saturday night, and the Newark-born superstar has declared his belief that there is only one active fighter on the same level as him.
Stevenson’s victory saw him become the third-youngest four-division world champion in boxing history, with the 28-year-old getting his hands on the WBO super-lightweight world title without hardly breaking a sweat.
However, without becoming undisputed, as the likes of Inoue, Dmitry Bivol, Canelo Alvarez, Devin Haney and Artur Beterbiev have, it is tough to argue how Stevenson can sit above them all in the rankings.
Yet, in an interview with Cigar Talk, Stevenson revealed that he sees himself as the ‘best fighter on the planet’, with unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk being the only active boxer that is on his level.
“I am number one, to me, the best fighter on the planet. The only other fighter that I see in boxing right now that I see and think [he is on my level is] Usyk, that is at – the art of hitting and don’t get hit at the same time – boxing.”
After months of speculation, Panarin was finally dealt to the LA Kings on Wednesday. As part of the transaction, the Blueshirts received forward prospect Liam Greentree along with a conditional third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft.
Artemi Panarin waived his full no-movement clause to join the Kings, while the Rangers retained 50% of his salary, as he was in the final year of his seven-year, $81.5 million contract. Panarin signed a two-year, $22 million extension ($11M AAV) with the Kings immediately after the trade.

Many Rangers fans on X (formerly called Twitter) were furious with the return they received in the deal. One tweeted:
“What a f****** disgrace. Chris Drury is the worst GM of all time. Fire him for his sabotage. f*** Chris Drury.”
@NYRangers WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE CHIRS DRURY IS THE WORST GM OF ALL TIME FIRE HIM FOR HIS SABOTAGE FUCK CHRIS DRURY
“We don’t care. Fire your GM. He sucks,” another opined.
“What a garbage return. Well, that should be Drury’s job. He needs to be the next one out the door. Wishing Panarin all the best wherever he goes. I hope Drury has screwed the NYR faithful for the last time,” another chimed in.
LA Kings GM shares his thoughts on Artemi Panarin’s trade
Following the trade, LA Kings GM Ken Holland addressed the media to share his thoughts. He said that Artemi Panarin did not want to be a rental and that the Kings are happy he waived his no-movement clause for LA.
“Obviously, we made the deal today to make our team better,” Kings general manager Ken Holland said via NHL.com. “We signed him to a two-year extension. We weren’t going to do it as a rental. He didn’t want to go anywhere as a rental. He wanted to find a home, so we’re thrilled that he wanted to waive the no-trade (clause) to come to LA.”
He added:
“We’re happy that we were able to get him to a two-year extension, and after two years, I’m hoping that we’re working on another extension, but (I’ll) worry about that down the road.”
Artemi Panarin spent seven seasons with the Rangers. He has accumulated 57 points through 19 goals and 38 assists in 52 games, making him the leading scorer for the Blueshirts this season.
City progressed to meet Arsenal at Wembley on 22 March by beating Newcastle 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium, and 5-1 on aggregate.
But defender Guehi, a £20m buy from Crystal Palace, was not allowed to play as he was not signed in time for the first leg, which also rules him out of the final.
He said: “Hopefully we can convince the Carabao Cup [EFL] that Marc Guehi can play the final. I don’t understand why he cannot play the final. Hopefully we make a letter. You buy a player for a lot of money and he is not able to play for a rule I don’t understand. Hopefully they can change it. You hire a player and he can be disposed the next day. Hopefully we can convince the biggest teams. It is difficult to understand.”
Guardiola’s other January buy, Antoine Semenyo, played in the competition for Bournemouth this season but arrived before the meeting with Newcastle at St James’ Park, in which he played and scored.

And Guardiola is struggling to understand why Guehi, who joined from Crystal Palace on 19 January, is treated differently.
And he added: “Apparently Marc cannot play the second leg because he didn’t play the first. And Antoine arrived before the first so could play. And now it’s the final. Why should he not play? Why not? We pay his salary, he is our player. It’s like the Champions League, the last two games [of the league phase they] cannot play and we have another player.

“I said to the club, they have to ask, definitely. I don’t understand the reason why he cannot play in the final in March, when I have been here for a long time. The rules to buy a player depends on Fifa, Uefa, the Premier League who say, OK the transfer window is open, when you buy a player you have to play, no? It’s logic. Of course we are going to try to ask [for] him to play. Pure logic.”

Guardiola said he does not expect his appeal to succeed, adding: “No, but we will try.”
But he believes England international Guehi, who lifted the FA Cup as Palace captain last year, will have plenty more opportunities to win silverware in a City shirt.
“We will play a lot [of finals],” he explained. “He is so young. He came to a team that will play in the next years a lot of finals. No doubt about that.”

The Minnesota Vikings don’t necessarily have oodles of spending money on hand for free agency, but if they find some, the organization has a clear connection to New York Jets running back Breece Hall. Before joining the Vikings in 2025, new offensive line coach Keith Carter served as the Jets’ run game coordinator, and it really doesn’t get any closer to Hall than that from a coach’s perspective.
If Minnesota wants more juice from the ground game, Hall fits the profile, and he has a previous connection to the Vikings’ new OL coach.
Hall won’t be cheap, but Minnesota has a real shot at landing his services if interim general manager Rob Brzezinski is in the mood.

A New Decision Looms in the Vikings’ Backfield
It’s another name for your Vikings’ free-agent bingo board.

Hall to MIN with Carter Promoted?
Carter drew scorn on social media from former Tennessee Titans players a while back, but that didn’t stop the Vikings from hiring him as an assistant offensive line coach last offseason. And when the 2026 offseason rolled around, head coach Kevin O’Connell opted not to retain main offensive line coach Chris Kuper.
That put Carter in the driver’s seat to earn the top OL job in Minnesota, which he fulfilled last week.

From 2022 to 2023, Carter was in charge of the Jets’ rushing offense, a group highlighted by Hall. Fast forward to 2026 free agency, and Hall is a free agent, expected to command about $10 million to $12 million on the open market.
So long as Hall doesn’t share any of the aforementioned resentment toward Carter and his alleged grueling practices, there’s a path for Hall to land in Minnesota via free agency. Most other Hall suitors won’t have his former coach on staff.
Hall’s Career to Date
Hall’s resume starts with availability, which matters more at running back than almost anywhere else. Outside of a rookie year injury, he’s been consistently on the field, a rarity at RB. Over four seasons, the production has followed: 681 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2022, 1,585 and 9 in 2023, 1,359 and 8 in 2024, then 1,415 yards with 5 scores in 2025. He’s sitting on a 4.5 yards-per-carry career average.

Minnesota, though, would draw little pushback if it found a way to add him. The Vikings know what that level of output looks like, but the money is tight. That matters, especially with more than $20 million already tied up in the running back room through Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. That’s significant money for the RB spot.
The 2025 rushing attack was serviceable, but it never dominated opponents. O’Connell leaned pass-heavy even when quarterback play faltered, and the ground game never forced defenses to adjust. The draft remains the cleanest long-term answer, yet Hall offers something different: certainty. He’s not a rookie, and he removes draft guesswork. Minnesota would onboard a sure thing in Hall.
Sportsnaut‘s Andrew Buller-Hall on Hall to MIN: “The Vikings should make a strong play for free agent Breece Hall this offseason. Minnesota could have an inside line to signing Hall after promoting OL coach Keith Carter, Hall’s running game coordinator from 2023 to 2024. Yet, other teams will surely have interest in Hall after he compiled a career-high 1,065 rushing yards this season.”
“Hall’s longest rush this season went for 59 yards, and he averaged 4.4 yards per carry. He’d also help replace Jones in the passing game, giving Vikings QBs another option out of the backfield. He’d surely be an upgrade over Jones, especially if the Vikings can still pair Hall with Mason to form an extremely effective 1-2 punch. Not only would that duo help take pressure off whoever plays QB for the Vikings in 2026, it might be one of the best rushing tandems in the NFL.”

Getting Serious about Fixing the Rushing Offense
These are the numbers for the Vikings’ rushing offense since the arrival of O’Connell four years ago:
O’Connell has never featured a game-changing running back. Dalvin Cook had begun his age-related decline in 2022. Alexander Mattison stunk in 2023. Ty Chandler and Cam Akers are backup tailbacks. Aaron Jones represented a refreshingly productive alternative, but he’s over the age of 30. Jordan Mason is a wonderful roster piece, but is more of a mid-tier RB1 — or elite RB2.

It’s time for O’Connell — now a de facto general manager, too — to sign Hall or draft a high-round rookie running back. Don’t leave it until Round 5 for half-measured solutions.
Other Options if Not Hall
For the sake of argument, let’s assume Minnesota will pursue a free-agent running back, but Hall is not interested in the Vikings. These high-profile halfbacks are also scheduled to test free agency:

That’s about seven prominent free agents and arguably 5-6 rookie running backs who could move the needle as an RB1.
Now, it’s up to Minnesota to decide if these options are wiser than Jones + Mason again in 2026.
The NCAA denied an appeal for a sixth year of eligibility filed by Ole Miss on behalf of quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz and Brandon Marcello reported on Wednesday. The NCAA previously denied Chambliss’ waiver request for an additional season in January. Ole Miss appealed the decision and the NCAA informed the school of its decision — another denial — on Wednesday.
Chambliss, who after transferring from Division II Ferris State led Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff semifinals, sought a medical redshirt for the 2022 season when he played in only two games. The waiver was denied by the NCAA athletics eligibility subcommittee, a decision Ole Miss called “indefensible.”
“The NCAA athletics eligibility subcommittee’s decision to deny Trinidad’s appeal is indefensible in light of the undisputed facts,” Ole Miss said in a statement. “The NCAA staff and the subcommittee asserted that Trinidad was not denied the opportunity to compete during the 2022 season, despite the reality that he did not dress for a single game while suffering from severe, incapacitating medical conditions. Those conditions were fully and contemporaneously documented by his treating physician, yet this waiver request was still denied when it should have been approved at the NCAA staff level”
On Jan. 16, Chambliss filed a lawsuit against the NCAA for a temporary and permanent injunction that would allow him to play another season for the Rebels. Chambliss’ case will be heard on Feb. 12 at the Calhoun County Courthouse in Pittsboro, Mississippi. CBS Sports reported last month that there is optimism around the football program that Chambliss will eventually be granted an injunction, which would clear the path for him to play in 2026.
“Trinidad’s representatives will continue to pursue all available legal remedies, and we will publicly stand behind Trinidad while holding the NCAA accountable for a decision that fails to align with its own rules, precedent, and the documented medical record,” Ole Miss said.
The legal team for Chambliss criticized the NCAA’s waiver process and claimed their client was “never going to receive fair and good faith consideration of Ole Miss’ request for an additional season of eligibility from the National Collegiate Athletics Association.”

Notably, Ole Miss and Chambliss agreed on a deal last month — contingent on the NCAA accepting his eligibility waiver for a sixth year — that would see him return as the starting quarterback. Chambliss, who didn’t begin the season as the Rebels’ starting quarterback and eventually won the job from Austin Simmons, guided the program to an 11-1 regular-season record and College Football Playoff wins over Tulane and Georgia before a 31-27 loss to Miami in the semifinals.
With Chambliss’ eligibility in limbo, the Rebels signed former blue-chip quarterback recruit Deuce Knight, an Auburn transfer. Knight would be the projected starter for Ole Miss in 2026 if Chambliss is unable to return to college. Ole Miss also signed Louisiana transfer Walker Howard. Howard had a previous stint at Ole Miss after beginning his career at LSU.
Spire Motorsports driver Daniel Suarez’s wife, Julia Piquet, called out NASCAR insider Jordan Bianchi over a misquoted radio message. Suarez is currently competing in the 2026 Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium and had a few run-ins with his former teammate, Shane van Gisbergen. Following that, according to Piquet, Bianchi misquoted a message from Suarez.
The Mexican driver and the Kiwi driver were once teammates and are now enemies. They both drove for Trackhouse Racing, and now Suarez pilots the #7 for Spire Motorsports, while Gisbergen still drives the #97 Chevy Camaro ZL1 for Trackhouse. The 34-year-old has been making his debut with Spire and is in the mood for a fight.
Thanks for the submission!

Following that, during the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, Daniel Suarez had a heated moment with his former teammate SVG. Reflecting on that, the #97 driver commented on Suarez:

“Is the 7 (Daniel Suarez) beefing with everyone?”
Continuing further, the Spire Motorsports driver issued a warning to Shane van Gisbergen. But Jordan Bianchi misquoted the radio message in his X post and wrote:
“I’m going to kick his f***ing ass. Tell (SVG) I’m coming for him.”
Upon stumbling upon that, Julia Piquet was not impressed by his mistake and called him out, sharing an X post along with the full quote. She wrote:
“If you’re going to quote drivers at least be accurate. First part was referring to the sh*t BW was pulling after the caution came out. He actually said “tell the 23 spotter if he pulls that sh*t one more time I’m going to kick his a**.” And then he said “I’m coming for the 97.””
Daniel Suarez joined Trackhouse Racing in 2021 and spent five seasons with the team piloting the #99 Chevy. He secured two wins, 16 top-five finishes, 43 top-ten finishes, and one pole position in 180 starts. He parted ways with the team after wrapping the 2025 season, and NASCAR prodigy Connor Zilisch replaced him.
“I’m not sad for this”: When Daniel Suarez opened up about his exit from Trackhouse Racing
In July 2025, NASCAR Cup Series driver Daniel Suarez appeared in an interview with SiriusXM. During the conversation, the former Trackhouse Racing driver opened up about his exit from the team, along with his future plans.

The Cup Series team initially fielded two cars with Ross Chastain in the #1 Chevy and Suarez in the #99. However, Trackhouse Racing acquired another charter from Stewart-Haas Racing and added one more entry with Shane van Gisbergen in the #88 Chevy.
Later, Daniel Suarez claimed he was not sad about his departure and was mentally prepared for the decision. He further told the press:
“I want to make sure that you guys and all the people listening (know) I’m not sad for this. This is just a new chapter. That’s all it is. This is not a sad moment, it’s just a change.”
Daniel Suarez wrapped the 2025 Cup Series season in P29. He secured two top-five finishes at the spring Las Vegas Motor Speedway race and fall Daytona International Speedway race. Additionally, Suarez clinched seven top-ten finishes in 36 starts.
On Wednesday, the organization announced that former health insurance executive Terry Clark will take over as CEO on March 2. Derek Sprague resigned from the position on January 7 to spend more time with his family.
Clark has served as an independent director on the PGA of America’s board since 2024. He spent 20 years at United Health Group, where he rose to the role of Chief Marketing Officer. He has also served on boards for the YMCA and the Special Olympics.
“Golf is a game with a rare and enduring impact on individuals, families, and communities, and the PGA of America sits at the center of that influence,” Clark said in a statement. “Our greatest strength is our PGA of America Golf Professionals — trusted leaders in their communities who introduce, teach, and grow the game in every corner of the world. At an important moment for golf, we have the right people, the right assets, and a meaningful opportunity to lead with purpose.”

PGA of America vice president Nathan Charnes, who will become president in November, said that Clark earned the board’s trust with his long track record of judgment and leadership.
“As an independent director, Terry has developed a first-hand understanding of our strategic priorities and the critical role PGA of America Golf Professionals play at every level of the game,” Charnes said. “He brings a proven ability to lead complex organizations with clarity and rigor, while fostering collaboration and accountability across diverse stakeholders. At a time when continuity, stability, and long-term focus are essential, the Board is confident Terry is the right leader to guide the Association forward and continue advancing the game in meaningful and sustainable ways.”
The PGA of America will be under the spotlight again in May when the PGA Championship takes place at Aronimink outside of Philadelphia. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be contested in June at Hazeltine.
Now in its 91st edition, the WM Phoenix Open has a storied history. Before the tournament became the “Greatest Show on Grass” at TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium course in 1987, the Tour stop called the Phoenix Country Club home — a course (and club) older than Arizona’s statehood.
Phoenix Country Club was founded in 1899, while Arizona became the United States’ 48th state more than two decades later, in 1912. Located in the middle of downtown Phoenix, Phoenix Country Club remains an integral and vibrant part of the WM Phoenix Open’s history to this day, with a star-studded list of champions that includes Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Billy Casper and Johnny Miller.
The club hasn’t changed much over the years either. While it includes every modern amenity, there are no tee times. Instead, every day’s tee sheet is first-come, first-served — in person. But members can also opt to participate in nearly a dozen standing money games each week, some of which have existed for decades.

“It’s amazing — the history of the place, the amount of players, the tournament history — and yet the size of the golf course hasn’t changed,” said Phoenix Country head professional Paul Griffin. “It still holds its own to this day.”
In Episode 2 of Destination GOLF: Phoenix, our editors explore the WM Phoenix Open’s origins at Phoenix Country Club and its tenure at modern-day host, TPC Scottsdale, where it continues to be the PGA Tour’s most-attended tournament each year. We hear from the Thunderbirds, the philanthropic organization that puts on the WM Phoenix Open every year, as well as from tournament fans like you, about just what makes the WM Phoenix Open so beloved.
The grand takeaway? The tournament is truly an event unlike any other. To experience a slice of the WM Phoenix Open’s illustrious history, take a look at the second episode of Destination GOLF: Phoenix below. Missed Episode 1 on Phoenix public golf? Catch up by clicking here.
