Phil Mickelson to miss Masters & take extended break from golf over family health matter
Three-time champion Phil Mickelson will miss this year’s Masters and step away from golf “for an extended period” because of a family health matter.
The American has only missed the tournament on three other occasions since making his debut at Augusta National in 1991.
In a post on X, Mickelson wrote: “Unfortunately, I will not play in the Masters Tournament next week and will be out for an extended period of time as my family continues to navigate a personal health matter.
“I have great respect for Augusta National Golf Club and it is definitely the most special week of the year. I wish everyone the best of luck and will be watching.”
The 55-year-old last missed the first major of the season in 2022 after making controversial comments about the then-proposed LIV Golf project and the PGA Tour.
His absence this year, for the tournament that runs from 9 to 12 April, means it will be the first time since 1994 that both Mickelson and Tiger Woods will not feature in the Masters.
Mickelson sat out of the first four events of the 2026 LIV Golf season, at Riyadh, Adelaide, Hong Kong and Singapore. He also cited a “family health matter” when announcing his initial absence on 1 February.
Although he returned to action last month at Steyn City in South Africa, where he finished tied for 48th place, it was unclear whether he would play at Augusta.
Mickelson, who missed the cut at last year’s Masters, has also won the US PGA Championship twice and triumphed at the Open Championship, at Muirfield, in 2013.
Only Jack Nicklaus (six), Woods (five) and Arnold Palmer (four) have won more Masters titles than Mickelson.

Golden State Warriors jersey history – No. 77 – Omer Yurtseven (2026)
The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA – a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.

To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the second of two players who wore the No. 77 jersey for the Warriors.

That player would be Golden State big man alum Omer Yurtseven. After ending his college career at Georgetown, Yurtseven went unselected in the 2020 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Miami Heat in 2021.
The Tashkent, Uzbekistan native played the first two seasons of his pro career with Miami. He also played for the Utah Jazz before he signed with the Dubs in 2026, and he remains with the team at the time of writing.

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Yurtseven wore only jersey No. 77 and put up 3.2 points and as many rebounds per game.

Final Four a reality thanks to ‘International Illini’
Apr 2, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; IIllinois Fighting Illini forward David Mirkovic (0) during open locker room at the Final Four. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-Imagn Images INDIANAPOLIS — Illinois head coach Brad Underwood signed All-American Keaton Wagler without seeing him play. He trusted assistant Geoff Alexander to assemble the “Balkan Bloc” of international talent. And a hometown guard who left for Arizona came back to help complete the puzzle.
That’s the Cliff’s Notes version of how Illinois assembled a Final Four team entering Saturday’s national semifinal, the fifth game of this NCAA Tournament for the Fighting Illini and a rematch with UConn.
Four of Illinois’ top six scorers are Europeans with roots in southeastern Europe, largely a credit to Alexander’s ability to land top club team talent and a collective trust that magnetized it all together.
“We knew we needed positional size. We knew we were recruiting shooting. They do it as well as anybody in the world in my opinion,” Underwood said Thursday. “Geoff has spent many, many trips going over there, developing relationships, and now Orlando (Antigua) comes back and we’ve just invested heavily in doing that. We believe in it.”
This isn’t an entirely novel concept for Underwood. He let Antigua shop for overseas talent when they were together at Western Illinois — where Alexander played his college ball — and continued to cross borders at subsequent stops. More recently, Illinois developed 2025 draft pick Kasparas Jakucionis, the No. 20 pick of the Miami Heat last June. One of the other top freshmen on the roster last year was Will Riley, a Canadian import drafted one pick later (21st) by the Utah Jazz and traded to the Washington Wizards. Before that, Kofi Cockburn of Jamaica was one of Underwood’s biggest international scores.
Riley was a five-star recruit and Jakucionis was coveted. The players who have helped replace their production are Wagler, an overlooked playmaker on the recruiting trail, transfer Andrej Stojakovic and holdover Kylan Boswell. Boswell brings linebacker toughness and has blossomed in his hometown after starting his college career at Arizona.
“I think going home has helped. The way he has handled himself. He’s just been elite,” Underwood said of Boswell, a Champaign native. “He’s been a joy to coach. He’s been unselfish. He’s been a guy that is all about winning.”
One of the few competitors who can match Boswell on the roster is David Mirkovic, a freshman from Montenegro. At 19, he’s been a terror during the tournament, going for 27 and 19 in the opening-round win over Penn. At 6-9, 250, Mirkovic has a vast skill set and helps Illinois control the glass alongside the Ivisic Twins — Zvonimir and Tomislav, or Z and Tommy to Underwood. “Their chemistry is unbelievable. Their competitiveness is unbelievable. They go at each other all the time,” Underwood said of his tandem 7-footers. “They’re very different people, even though they’re twins, and yet their synergy is really fun to see.
“I think for lack of a better word, those two set the tone for the other guys from over there. And just their comfort of being in the States, even though Z wasn’t with us the whole time, they’ve helped ease some of the transition and the challenges that lie for the others.”
A preseason knee injury was a setback for Stojakovic and he dealt with an in-season ankle injury to be limited to 21 starts. When Boswell returned from a hand injury, Stojakovic accepted a role off the bench. He’s been lethal as a reserve.
“The one thing he’s done is he’s accepted defending. He’s accepted rebounding,” Underwood said. “We all know his offense can come and that he’s a very capable guy there. But now he has just adjusted. I couldn’t have asked for anything more coming off the bench. He’s done that in a way that has helped us grow and play our best basketball.” –Jeff Reynolds, Field Level Media

Tiger Woods says he hoped to play in the Masters in DUI bodycam footage
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Bodycam footage of Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest in Jupiter Island, Florida, last Friday showed the 15-time major winner saying he was “hoping to” play in this year’s Masters.
As Woods was sitting in a police vehicle, an officer was talking golf with him, mentioning a putter Woods said he won “14 majors” with.
Then, the officer asked Woods if he planned on playing in the Masters, and he responded, “Hoping to.”

Someone associated with Woods walked up to the group talking and added, “Depends on y’all.”
Woods won’t be playing at Augusta National Golf Club next week for the first major of the season, which Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley confirmed earlier this week after the rollover crash and arrest of the five-time green jacket winner.
“Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament fully support Tiger Woods as he focuses on his well-being,” Ridley said in a statement. “Although Tiger will not be joining us in person next week, his presence will be felt here in Augusta.”
TIGER WOODS’ TEAMMATE CALLS GOLFER’S DUI ARREST ‘VERY DISTURBING’
There was a chance Woods was trying to play in the Masters, and he clearly had that mindset before his crash.
Woods put out a statement, announcing he is stepping away from golf to “seek treatment” after his DUI arrest, which resulted in charges of driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a blood alcohol level (BAL) test after law enforcement said his vehicle collided with another while he drove impaired.
Woods released the statement after entering a plea of not guilty, waiving his right to an arraignment and demanding a trial with a jury Tuesday.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods said in a statement posted on social media.

“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.
“I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
Woods was found with prescription opioids in his pocket, which the bodycam footage showed. Deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported observing several signs of impairment after the crash. They noted Woods was “sweating profusely,” his movements appeared “lethargic and slow” and his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and “extremely dilated” after he removed his sunglasses.
Deputies conducted field sobriety tests with Woods as he sat on the bumper of a car, and one deputy had her finger in the air as Woods, while hiccupping, tried to follow with his eyes.
This arrest marked Woods’ second DUI arrest within the last decade. In 2017, he was taken into custody, also in Jupiter Island, after taking prescription drugs and falling asleep behind the wheel of a running car at 3 a.m.

Woods was also involved in a 2021 rollover crash that resulted in serious leg injuries and emergency surgeries, which is what he was alluding to during the field sobriety tests.
Woods also signed up for the U.S. Senior Open, according to The Golf League teammate Kevin Kisner, which is scheduled for early July.

Tiger Woods said he was ‘talking to the president’ in post car-crash phone call
Tiger Woods said he was “just talking to the president” on the phone following his car crash, according to bodycam footage released by Florida police.
Fifteen-time major winner Woods, 50, was arrested after escaping unhurt from the accident in which he clipped a trailer he was attempting to overtake and rolled his Range Rover.
He was charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test following last week’s incident on Jupiter Island, Florida.
Woods was arrested and spent eight hours in custody on Friday before being bailed.
Martin County court documents showed Woods formally skipped an initial court appearance on Tuesday, but entered a written plea of not guilty via his lawyers and demanded a jury trial.
Bodycam footage of the aftermath of the crash released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office shows Woods making a phone call and can be heard saying “thank you so much” before being asked by an officer to stay “down here with us please”.
Woods replied: “Yeah, I was just talking to the president.”
It is not clear if he was referring to Donald Trump.
The US president told reporters following the crash: “I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty. He’s a very close friend of mine, he’s an amazing person, an amazing man.”
In further bodycam footage, Woods described looking down at his phone before feeling a “boom” as he crashed his car.
The footage shows Woods, wearing sunglasses, on his knees being assessed for any injuries on a grass verge close to the accident site at a junction.
He described the moment he crashed by saying: “I look down at my phone and all of a sudden… boom.”
When asked if he was comfortable, Woods replied: “Yeah, yeah.” He was then told by the police officer that he would be checked over by a doctor.
The officer then walked over to speak with the driver of the other vehicle, which was towing a trailer, with Woods’ black Range Rover flipped on its side at the junction of a narrow side road.
The driver of the other vehicle, who was also unhurt, is reported to have said he was stationary in front of Woods’ vehicle at the time of the collision.
More footage shows Woods undergoing various sobriety tests and two hydrocodone pills – a prescription opioid used to treat severe pain – were found in his pocket during a search.
When asked by a police officer how much he had to drink today, Woods replied: “None.”
When asked if he was taking any medication, he replied: “I take a few, yes.” Woods added that he had taken all his medication earlier that morning.
After his sobriety tests, Woods was handcuffed and told by the officer: “At this time I do believe that your normal faculties are impaired and you’re under an unknown substance, so you are under arrest for a DUI.”
It was the fourth occasion Woods has been involved in a motoring accident since 2009.
He has undergone numerous surgeries throughout his career, many to the leg and ankle, since suffering multiple injuries in a serious crash in 2021.
Prior to the incident, there had been speculation over whether Woods might play at the Masters – an event he has won five times – next week.
That will now not happen and the PGA of America said on Wednesday that Woods had turned down the opportunity to captain the United States at the 2027 Ryder Cup after he announced he would step away from golf for a period to focus on his health and wellbeing.

Mbappé requests Armband from Kanté During France Match
During the World Cup warm-up between the France national football team and Colombia, Kylian Mbappé came on late and requested for the captain’s armband to be taken from N’Golo Kanté and given to him.
A post shared online described how it happened:
“Kylian Mbappé asked Rayan Cherki to take the France captain’s armband from N’Golo Kante while he was coming on against Colombia.
Kante handed it over to Cherki to be given to Kylian.”
Kanté passed the armband on without any issue, with Rayan Cherki involved in the exchange.
The moment led to mixed reactions.
Some fans criticised Mbappé, especially as Kanté was marking his 35th birthday, while others pointed out that it is standard for the team’s official captain to take the armband once he comes onto the pitch.
France went on to win the game 3-1, with goals from Désiré Doué and Marcus Thuram.
Do you think what he did was wrong? Should he have just left the armband with Kanté?

Unraveling Solo Ball’s decline: How under-the-radar wrist injury has led to UConn guard’s shooting woes
INDIANAPOLIS — Solo Ball isn’t just a good shooter. He’s a great one. A net-shredder in the flesh. His 99 3-pointers last year — the fourth-most in a single season at UConn — prove that loud and clear. But with a Final Four clash with No. 3 seed Illinois looming in less than 48 hours, Ball admitted that he’s compromised right now due to the lingering impact of a painful wrist injury suffered in mid-December. Ball harkens back to a 15-day stretch in December where he landed awkwardly on his wrist against Butler, sat out against DePaul and re-aggravated the injury against Xavier.
UConn won all three games, but it came at a cost, and that debt is still being paid three full months later.
Ball saunters into UConn’s jam-packed locker room at Lucas Oil Stadiun on Thursday with a grin, but his heavily-taped wrist is impossible to ignore.
Even knowing the cost, Ball chose to manage the pain and deal with the mental anguish of losing a bit of control over a once-pure jumper.
Ball is shooting just 29% from 3-point range this season. That’s far below his 41% threshold a season ago. He’s still somehow splashed 71 triples, which ranked fifth in the Big East, but the inconsistencies on a game-by-game basis — depending on how the wrist feels — can be equally maddening and illuminating as he navigates playing a hard game without his go-to weapon.
Ball bounces up and down
UConn’s Solo Ball shooting has dropped since a wrist injury on Dec. 15 vs. Butler. Since then Ball’s scoring average has dropped 3.7 points and he’s shooing 7.1 percentage points.
College basketball reference via Microsoft CoPilot
“I just want to stay on the court,” Ball said. “I’ve had to learn how to move on and try to affect the game in other ways. I’ll do whatever it takes to win.”
Ball went 0-for-5 from downtown, but Dan Hurley doesn’t believe UConn pulls off the epic come-from-behind, Elite Eight win over Duke without Ball’s steal and old-fashioned 3-point play with 3:42 to trim Duke’s advantage to just 67-65. Oh, and he chipped in with a huge offensive rebound with 91 ticks left that earned a trip to the charity stripe to put even more game pressure on the Blue Devils.
Demary got the deflection, Alex Karaban made the extra pass and Braylon Mullins brought the rain for the game-winner, but those two winning plays in the clutch from Ball gave UConn major life, and he didn’t need to make a single jumper to do it.

David Cobb 
“He’s such a threat, and he’s so capable,” Hurley said. “He played so great against Illinois and at MSG (Madison Square Garden, he made some shots, and that’s always good for a player going in versus an opponent because that matters to a player’s psyche. But he’s really guarded well for us in the Sweet 16 and in the Elite Eight, and when he’s not making shots, he creates so much spacing for the others. As long as he guards and rebounds and makes efforts and plays as hard as he can, he’s still like a 30-minute-a-game, incredibly valuable player for us.”
Ball’s home zip code is usually out floating around the 3-point stripe, but he’s tried to crash the offensive glass with more fervor this year. After shooting just 48% on layups a year ago, Ball is up to 58% at the tin in 2025-26. Playing off two feet has helped Ball draw even more fouls. He’s already shot 27 more free throws than a year ago.
Ball don’t lie
Solo Ball’s wrist injury has impacted the types of 3-pointers he is trying this season vs. last.
| Solo Ball’s shooting, explained | 2024-25 | 2025-26 |
| Unguarded catch-and-shoot 3-pointers | 50% | 36% |
| Guarded catch-and-shoot 3-poiters | 33% | 22% |
| Pull-up 3-pointers | 43% | 29% |
Slowly but surely, Ball has tried to become more of a complete player, even if the 3-point decline gets the noise.
“How many hustle plays can I make just trying to do that? It’s just something I got to do more going into these next two games,” Ball says.
Getty Images
That grittiness from Ball has permeated throughout UConn’s locker room. Point guard Silas Demary Jr. is dealing with a nasty sprained ankle, but he’s on the floor. Forward Jaylin Stewart has dealt with a right knee injury, but he’s back on the floor at the most critical juncture of the season.
“It just speaks to our coach and our culture,” Stewart told CBS Sports. “None of us wants to let the guys down. And Solo been that way his whole life. Never wants to let his teammates down. He always wants to be out there fighting with us. He’s a tough guy. Nobody’s 100% this time of the year, so if you if you can get out there, you got to.”
Everyone has bumps and bruises as the 39th game of the season nears, but UConn is unquestionably the most beat-up team in the Final Four, with two linchpins like Ball and Demary operating below the peak of their powers.
“Winning means a lot to us, and just to have our best guys playing through injuries, knowing that no matter what we want to be on the floor and make those plays, I think it’s a testament to this program,” Demary told CBS Sports. “If we win it all, we’ll be remembered as guys that gutted it out and were able to play through injury no matter what.”

“Just talking to the president”: Woods reportedly called Trump prior to DUI arrest
Tiger Woods reportedly called Donald Trump shortly before the legendary golfer was arrested for DUI.
Woods was involved in a car accident in Jupiter, Fla. on Friday. In footage shared earlier this week, Woods told officers that he was briefly distracted by his phone before he clipped the trailer of a vehicle in front of him. Several pills were discovered in his pocket. Woods was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday.

TMZ shared police bodycam footage from the scene on Thursday that showed Woods talking into his cell phone away from officers. “Thank you so much. All right. You got it. Bye,” Woods said into his phone as an officer approached.
Walking back toward the crash with an officer, Woods said he was “just talking to the president.” Trump commented on the crash shortly after it happened, speaking to reporters outside of Air Force One. The president called Woods “a very close friend of mine.”
“I feel so bad. He’s got some difficulty — there was an accident, and that’s all I know,” Trump said. “He’s an amazing person, an amazing man. But some difficulty. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Woods is dating Trump’s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump. Vanessa Trump has five children with Donald Trump, Jr., to whom she was married from 2005 to 2018.

Shakur Stevenson admits he’s not the best fighter in the world: “He’s number 1”
Shakur Stevenson has soared up the pound-for-pound rankings in recent months, but despite his usual confidence, the Newark southpaw has admitted that he is not the best fighter on the planet at present.
Throughout last year, the debate for the best active boxer raged on and was left undecided, with fans unsure which of Terence Crawford, Oleksandr Usyk or Naoya Inoue deserved to be recognised as the pound-for-pound king.
However, with Crawford now retired, Usyk being 39-years-old and Inoue taking on his toughest test yet, there may soon be a time where a new contender can break through that threshold and be considered for top spot.
At present, Stevenson seems to be the man in close contention, having become the third-youngest four-division world champion of all time by schooling Teofimo Lopez and claiming the WBO super-lightweight crown back in January.
Now, Stevenson is seeking further success, expected to reign in the super-lightweight scene for years to come and hoping to become the undisputed champion of the division.
Yet, despite his recent plaudits, Stevenson recognises that he is not yet worthy of being named as the best boxer on the globe. Instead, on X, he stated that Usyk deserves the number one position in the pound-for-pound ratings.
“You’re one of my fav fighters in the sport right now champ the number 1 spot belongs to you @usykaa. My time is coming.”
Stevenson has also been linked to a move up to the welterweight scene and a possible clash with Ryan Garcia, where he could become the second-youngest quintuple champion in boxing history after Oscar De La Hoya.
