Coverage of the 90th Masters was spread across broadcast networks and streaming, but Sunday’s final round belonged to CBS and Paramount+, with Jim Nantz on the call.

Over the decades, the network has polished its Masters coverage into what is largely viewed as golf broadcasting’s gold standard. Rory McIlroy’s pursuit of a rare repeat at historic Augusta National drew criticism from some viewers as apparent broadcast errors surfaced.

After McIlroy’s second shot on the 18th hole, cameras lost track of the ball as it landed in the woods right of the fairway. That was one of several shots in which tracers seemed to have difficulty keeping up with as a ball was in flight. CBS, according to reports, uses a brief tape delay for some shots rather than broadcasting every moment in real time.

PGA Tour golfer Kevin Kisner, who served as a guest analyst during SiriusXM’s coverage of Saturday’s and Sunday’s rounds, was among those who questioned CBS’ approach to this year’s Masters during an appearance on Barstool Sports’ “Fore Play Golf” podcast.

“I was so f—ing confused the entire time by trying to keep up with the behind-the-scenes CBS feed,” Kisner said. “They’re literally showing s—t that I knew happened ten minutes ago all day long. It was so bad that I in fact text Colt Knost during the show and said, ‘do you all ever show a live shot?’ I’m better off following the f—ing app than following your feed.”

Kisner compared the viewing experience — which he described as out of sync — to major events like the Super Bowl.

“So your entire Masters coverage is a fantasy world. It’s bulls—. Whatever we all watch has already happened seven minutes ago. Could you imagine watching the f—ing Super Bowl and being like, ‘yea Tom Brady threw that touchdown seven minutes ago, we’re going to act like it’s live here so our announcers can sound really smart and we’re going to sit here and he’s going to throw it wide open down the middle but it actually happened seven minutes ago and everyone in the stadium’s taking a p—. What are we doing, man?”

NFL games feature several built-in commercial breaks, while the Masters has limited commercial interruption as multiple players hit shots simultaneously across the course.

Ademola Lookman was the hero on Tuesday night as Atlético Madrid secured a place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with a 3–2 aggregate victory over FC Barcelona.

Despite suffering a 2–1 defeat in the second leg, Atlético advanced thanks to Lookman’s decisive first-half goal, which ultimately proved the difference over the two legs. The result marks Atlético’s first appearance in the semi-finals since the 2016–17 campaign.

The Nigerian international continues to make his mark in Europe, moving into third place among Nigeria’s all-time top scorers in the competition with eight goals—behind Obafemi Martins (9) and Victor Osimhen (16).

Barcelona made a blistering start at home, taking the lead just four minutes into the contest through Lamine Yamal. The hosts continued to press and found a second goal in the 24th minute when Ferran Torres curled a fine effort into the top corner to level the tie on aggregate.

Atlético, however, responded with composure. In the 31st minute, Marcos Llorente led a swift counterattack and delivered a precise pass to Lookman, who calmly slotted home to restore Atlético’s aggregate advantage.

Barcelona thought they had pulled level again in the 55th minute when Torres found the net, but the goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review.

Lookman was later substituted in the 66th minute, with Nicolás González coming on in his place, while Atlético also introduced Álex Baena. Barcelona responded with attacking changes, bringing on Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski in a bid to rescue the tie.

The home side’s hopes suffered a major setback in the 80th minute when Eric García was shown a straight red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity after bringing down Alexander Sørloth.

With the numerical advantage, Atlético managed the closing stages effectively, holding firm under late pressure to eliminate Barcelona and book their place in the final four.

Sergio Garcia posted an apology to social media on Tuesday for taking his anger out on the second tee box during the final round of the Masters.

Garcia, 46, hit a shot into the bunker on the second hole and took out his anger on the box, shattering his driver after slamming it into the turf twice and taking chunks out of the ground. He then took another swing at a table with a green cooler.

The 2017 Masters champion said he regrets the way he acted.

“I want to apologize for my actions on Sunday at The Masters tournament. I respect and value everything that The Masters and Augusta National Golf Club is to Golf. I regret the way I acted and it has no place in our game. It doesn’t reflect the respect and appreciation I have for The Masters, the patrons, tournament officials and golf fans around the world,” Garcia posted to X.

The apology comes after he was highly criticized for his actions, including an ESPN star calling for him to be banned from the tournament for his actions.

According to club officials Garcia was issued a code of conduct warning on the fourth tee by Geoff Yang, the chairman of the competitions committee. Garcia, who competes in LIV Golf, finished 8 over for the tournament, finishing 52nd out of 54 players who made the cut.

Since winning the Masters, Garcia has struggled mightily in majors. He has not finished in the top 10 in the 29 majors since winning at Augusta in 2017, and has missed the cut six of eight times since his victory.

Garcia’s Masters blowup was not his first at a tournament, as he was disqualified at the Saudi International in 2019 for damaging greens.

Last year during the final round of the Open Championship, he snapped his driver after slamming it into the ground on the second hole, playing 16 holes without a driver.

Baltimore Orioles manager Craig Albernaz has seven fractures in his orbital area as well as a broken jaw after taking a foul ball to the face, but he remains in the dugout with his squad.

However, Albernaz has one big change to his daily routine over the next month or so. He needs to eat baby food.

The injury occurred on Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, as the foul ball came whipping toward the Orioles’ dugout and hit Albernaz square on the right side of his face. But he was back at Camden Yards on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after suffering his multiple facial injuries.

Reports from Baltimore state that he has a visible bruise on the right side of his face, and that he will need to consume baby food for the next six weeks as his face heals.

“This is what we’re here for,” Albernaz said to reporters, per the Baltimore Banner. “We’re here for the players. We have a game. I’m physically able to be here, so let’s go.… If my jaw was wired shut, I’d still be here.”

ORIOLES MANAGER CRAIG ALBERNAZ TAKES LINE DRIVE TO FACE IN TERRIFYING SCENE

Albernaz said he felt “pretty good” considering the circumstances from Monday night’s foul ball off the bat of one of his own, Jeremiah Jackson.

“Ball hit me pretty flush in the cheek, but I feel good,” he added. “Luckily, no surgery. I think all in all, it was at least seven fractures in my cheek area, orbital, and then a broken jaw. But luckily, it doesn’t have to be wired. No surgery. I just have to eat baby food for six weeks.”

Albernaz, like many managers, was standing at the top of the dugout steps when Jackson was late to a pitch that shot immediately toward his teammates and coaches. It’s an unfortunate situation for Albernaz, but the first-time MLB manager is clearly showing his grit and resilience for his squad.

They also showed it for him on Monday night, as they were trailing at that point in the game. However, the Orioles rallied to win the game 9-7.

A lot of that had to do with Jackson, who bashed two home runs, including a grand slam in the victory.

“I hit, and then I kind of saw Alby holding his face,” Jackson told reporters. “My heart kind of dropped. I was able to see him afterward and see he was doing OK.… Knowing he was OK helped. It made me feel a little bit better. I’m just happy he’s doing OK and in good spirits.”

The Orioles’ win keeps them tied with the New York Yankees atop the AL East standings at 9-7.

Albernaz will continue to lead the way in the dugout moving forward, even if his diet does have to change.

The newest member of the Indiana Fever, Raven Johnson, who the team took with the 10th overall pick in the WNBA Draft on Monday, will join forces with Caitlin Clark after a tensely competitive moment between the two many years ago.

In the 2023 NCAA women’s Final Four, Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes met Johnson’s South Carolina Gamecocks. During that game, there was a moment when Clark was supposed to be guarding Johnson, but Clark waved Johnson off to double-team another South Carolina player.

The clip of Clark waving off Johnson ended up going viral, and Johnson later said it resulted in online mockery against her.

“I was all over the internet,” Johnson said on the “I AM NEXT” podcast in March. “That’s one reason I hate the internet now, because of that situation. I got bashed, I got bullied, I got called all these things I wasn’t, aka like a monkey and things like that, and I just think I wanted to quit basketball at that time, and I just wanted to go in this little bubble of isolation and just be by myself.”

Still, Johnson appears excited to now be on the same side as Clark.

After Johnson was drafted by the Fever on Monday, she said Clark is the teammate she’s most excited to play with in the pros.

“Caitlin Clark,” Johnson said immediately when asked by Overtime WBB which new teammate she’s most excited to play with. “… She’s a phenomenal player, with the things she does, it’s bar standard. She can shoot the ball, she can lead a team, and they win. She has a winning mentality, and I think that’s the biggest thing.”

The Fever have solidified their roster going into the 2026 season as a true championship contender.

The team recently re-signed key players Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham, while adding veteran Monique Billings in free agency.

The Fever have the fourth-best odds to win the WNBA title in 2026 behind the Minnesota Lynx, the defending champion Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty.

The Fever’s season ended in 107-98 overtime loss to the Las Vegas Aces in Game 5 of the WNBA semifinals last year.

With Clark returning from injury, their core intact and at least one new addition, Indiana is looking to finish the job.

Ousmane Dembélé scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain beat Liverpool FC 2-0 at Anfield on Tuesday night to seal a 4-0 aggregate win and reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The holders were in control of the tie and did not need to be at their very best to see off the English champions, booking a place in the last four for the third straight season.

Liverpool’s night was made worse by an injury to Hugo Ekitike, who was forced off in the first half with what looked like a serious leg problem. The injury could rule him out for the rest of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made a bold decision by leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench at the start, with Alexander Isak leading the attack. However, Salah came on early after Ekitike’s injury.

Liverpool had a few chances to score. Matvey Safonov made a fine save, while Marquinhos produced a strong block to deny Virgil van Dijk.

PSG also missed chances in the first half, with Dembélé and others unable to find the net. Giorgi Mamardashvili made a good recovery to stop one effort, while Dembélé fired over from close range.

Liverpool thought they had a chance to get back into the game when a penalty was awarded for a foul by Willian Pacho on Alexis Mac Allister, but VAR overturned the decision.

As Liverpool pushed forward late on, PSG struck on the counter. Dembélé opened the scoring in the 72nd minute with a fine left-footed finish from outside the box.

He then added his second goal in stoppage time, finishing calmly from a cross by Bradley Barcola to complete a comfortable win.

PSG will now face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals as they aim to defend their Champions League title.

Former England midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has retired from playing and will take over as manager of third-tier United Arab Emirates side Arabian Falcons FC.

The 34-year-old had been playing for the Dubai club, who were formed in 2023, since September – alongside ex-Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison.

Former Crystal Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon is the club’s co-owner and head of football operations.

Shelvey, who played for Liverpool and Newcastle among others, made headlines earlier this season when he told BBC Sport: “I don’t want my children growing up in England any more.

“We’re very lucky that we lived in a nice part of the UK but where I’m from, originally, you can’t have nice things in my opinion.”

A documentary will follow Shelvey trying to lead Arabian Falcons to promotion in the final five games of the season.

He said: “My ambition is to climb to the very top of management and this is the perfect project to prove myself and what I’m capable of.”

Shelvey started his playing career at Charlton Athletic and played in the top flight for Liverpool, Swansea, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.

He also featured for Blackpool, on loan, Turkish sides Caykur Rizespor and Eyupspor and briefly Burnley before moving to the UAE.

Shelvey won six caps for England, in 2012 and 2016 – all under Roy Hodgson.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has claimed that Liverpool could be underdogs for this weekend’s Merseyside derby against Everton after the Reds were dumped out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain.

Arne Slot’s side were hoping for a historic European comeback as they welcomed PSG trailing 2-0 from the first leg, but instead they offered up another disjointed performance as a brace from Ousmane Dembele sent the holders through 4-0 on aggregate.

It means the Reds have lost four of their last five games in all competitions following the 4-0 demolition at the hands of Manchester City in the FA Cup and the loss to Brighton in the league before the international break.

And there is now even more jeopardy in each remaining match of the Premier League season, with the Reds sitting in fifth as they look to earn a top-five finish to return to the Champions League next season.

Slot’s men have six games left of the domestic season and the first one comes this weekend in a Merseyside derby, though Fowler and former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney think that the champions could be “underdogs” heading into that game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

“Obviously the form in the last month, I know the Galatasaray [win was] a great result but I don’t think Galatasaray are great, so they’ve been turned over by Brighton, beat by Man City. I think Liverpool go into this game as probably underdogs,” said Fowler on Amazon Prime Video after the full-time whistle at Anfield.

“It’s the first time in a long time I’ve spoke to so of many friends who are Liverpool fans and they’re a little bit worried about the Merseyside derby,” explained Rooney.

“We’ve seen this Liverpool team all season not give as much as they can, I believe. And I think this derby game has come at the wrong time for Liverpool,” he added.

Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge disagreed, hitting back: “Let’s not try and make out like now all of a sudden Everton are in a good moment, now Liverpool are underdogs.

“I know we’re talking about pressure and stuff, but for games like that you don’t need anything extra,” said the former England international.

Liverpool sit just four points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea going into the final six games of the season, and a win for Everton would take the Toffees within two points of their fierce rivals.

And if that wasn’t enough, Liverpool still have to play each of their main rivals in the battle for top five. The Reds will face Manchester United away on 3 May before welcoming Chelsea to Anfield on 9 May and then facing Aston Villa away around a week later on the weekend of 17 May.

A day after Sunrisers Hyderabad notched a memorable win over Rajasthan Royals, one of their players has been ruled out of IPL 2026. The 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been dealt a big blow amid the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, as all-rounder Brydon Carse has been ruled out of the entire tournament without playing a single match due to injury. The team has announced Sri Lankan pacer Dilshan Madushanka as Carse’s replacement.

“Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have picked Dilshan Madushanka as a replacement for Brydon Carse for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Carse has been ruled out of the ongoing IPL season due to an injury,” the Indian Premier League said in a statement released on Tuesday.

“Dilshan Madushanka, a left-arm medium pacer, has represented Sri Lanka in one Test, 28 ODIs, and 19 T20Is and has 70 wickets in international cricket to his name. He will join SRH for INR 75 lakh. The Sri Lankan bowler was previously part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL,” the statement added.

Madushanka’s entry will further bolster the SRH bowling unit, which already includes youngsters Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, along with experienced pacers Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat. Designated captain Pat Cummins is likely to join the group on April 17.

Madushanka has not played a match in the IPL so far. He was acquired by the Mumbai Indians (MI) for Rs 4.6 crore in 2024 but was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old Sri Lankan left-arm pacer is known for his ability to swing the ball early in the powerplay.

Ishan Kishan is leading the side in Cummins’ absence. Under his captaincy, the team has won two out of five matches in the ongoing season. They are currently placed fourth in the points table with a net run rate of +0.576.

SRH defeated table-toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, courtesy of a brilliant bowling display by debutants Praful and Sakib, who took four wickets each. RR were bowled out for just 159 runs in 19 overs while chasing a mammoth target of 217 runs, losing the match by 57 runs. SRH will next face five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at their home ground, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, on Saturday.
