On June 3, Jackson Koivun was a junior on the Auburn golf team, leading the Tigers to a second national title in three years. Seven weeks later, the 21-year-old phenom is a PGA Tour champion — and the most exciting rookie golfer in a generation.

The future is now: Koivun fended off top-ranked Scottie Scheffler at TPC Twin Cities to win the 3M Open title just 24 days into his professional career. The San Jose native shot a 61 on Saturday (look at this approach shot!) before firing a bogey-free 66 on Sunday to finish at 25-under on the week, setting a new tournament record.

"All throughout the crowd I kept hearing, 'Scottie's coming, Scottie's coming.' I just tried to tune that out and keep playing the golf I knew I could," said Koivun, whose maiden victory earned him a cool $1.6 million. "I just love this game. I love golf. It's everything I do."

The résumé: Koivun enjoyed a historic career at Auburn, where he won two individual national championships, two team national championships and finished with the best career scoring average in NCAA history (68.89) before opting to turn pro and forego his senior season. He won all three major individual awards (Ben Hogan, Fred Haskins, Jack Nicklaus) as a freshman and a junior, making him the first golfer ever to hit the trifecta twice. He's the best amateur Data Golf has ever tracked. Better than Jon Rahm. Better than Jordan Spieth. Better than all of them.

As for Scottie… He now has five runner-up finishes this season, tied with Ernie Els* for the most in a season this century. If Scheffler can't win another tournament before the end of the year, it'll mark his first season without multiple wins since 2021. As a reminder: He won a combined 13 tournaments during the 2024 and 2025 campaigns.

The content-creating world's long international nightmare is over: LeBron James has chosen his new team. And, in a move that will bring no small consternation to fans in Northeast Ohio and Biscayne Bay, he has indeed chosen a new team, writes Yahoo Sports' Dan Devine.

ICYMI: The leading scorer in NBA history is now a member of the 76ers, agreeing to terms on a two-year, $8 million contract to line up alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe in the City of Brotherly Love, where he will try to become the first NBA player to win a title with four different franchises.

Dan Wolken:Are we sure Philadelphia is the ideal spot for LeBron?

If you are visualizing what the best version of this 76ers roster should be, you want Maxey with the ball in his hands as much as possible. You want Edgecombe, who made 35% of his 3s as a rookie, to be a relentless play finisher. Embiid, when he's on the court, is going to eat up a lot of possessions by force of gravity. Now you've added Brown, whose entire game is based on isolations and heavy usage.

So what does that really leave for James? He is still elite with the ball in his hands, but he's also older and less useful when he's off the ball and hasn't really expended much energy on the defensive side of the court for the last few years.

James' most impactful skills at this point are almost repetitive with what Philadelphia already has on offense while he accentuates their problems on defense. Seeing arguably the greatest basketball player of all time reduced to a third or fourth option while living out an extended farewell tour will be a delicate dance on the court — and quite a chemistry experiment for the most interesting locker room in the NBA.

Legacy: James currently ranks fourth on our Bill Russell Scale of greatest careers in NBA history, trailing only Russell, Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, because all of them have at least six rings apiece. The only way he can catch any of them in those rankings is to add to his four championships. Will he do that in Philly?

🇫🇷 Paris, France — Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia) won the Tour de France on Sunday for the third consecutive year and fifth time in his career, tying Jacques Anquetil (France), Bernard Hinault (France), Eddy Merckx (Belgium) and Miguel Induráin (Spain) for the most ever.

What they're saying: "This kid is the greatest of all time," said Lance Armstrong, who won seven straight Tours de France (1999-2005) before having his titles stripped. "Oftentimes, people want to talk to me about my history with the Tour and where I stand there. It doesn't matter. This guy is the G.O.A.T. … he would mop the floor with Lance Armstrong. Mop it."

🇺🇸 Chicago, Illinois — With the weight of CBA negotiations left in the past, the 2026 WNBA All-Star break gave off lighter vibes than a year ago. In the league's 30th season, the growth showed everywhere and culminated in Teresa Weatherspoon's roster defeating Cynthia Cooper's, 129-122, in front of an All-Star record 19,783 fans at the United Center.

Historic hardware: Liberty star Jonquel Jones (22-13-8) was named MVP of the All-Star Game, making her the first player in WNBA history to win league MVP (2021), Commissioner's Cup MVP (2023), Finals MVP (2024) and All-Star MVP (2026).

🇭🇺 Budapest, Hungary — Lando Norris (McLaren) won Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix to notch his (and his team's) first victory of the season. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) finished 15 seconds behind Norris in second, while Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) took third.

What's next: The Formula 1 calendar now enters the summer break, with no racing for the next three weekends. Drivers will return to action at the Dutch Grand Prix on Aug. 23.

🇸🇦 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — Anthony Joshua (30-4, 27 KOs) survived two knockdowns on Saturday to brutally KO Kristian Penga and set up a mega-fight against Tyson Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs), who dominated Mariusz Wach on Friday in an unaired bout in Thailand.

Looking ahead: Joshua and Fury have agreed to fight each other later this year in a long overdue all-British showdown that will stream on Netflix.

One share in the Packers cost just $300 in the team's most recent stock sale. Those shares are effectively a novelty, but the team's publicly owned status does convey one major benefit: It provides the only annual look under the hood at the financials of an NFL franchise.

By the numbers: The Packers' latest annual report revealed a record $753 million in total revenues for the fiscal year, up 4.7% from the prior year.

• National revenue, driven by media rights, sponsorships, and licensing, grew 4.8% to $453 million, implying $14.5 billion in total national revenue.
• Local revenue, comprising ticketing, sponsorships, retail sales, and events, totaled just under $300 million, a 4.7% increase despite one fewer home game.

Yes, but: Despite the record revenue, the Packers posted a rare $1.1 million operating loss. The culprit? A $131.7 million increase in player costs to $447 million.

• Though the NFL has a salary cap ($279 million) which pales in comparison to revenue, that number is not always a reflection of the true costs to ownership, somewhat undermining the bulletproof perception of league finances.
• Player expenditures impact some years more severely than others from an accounting perspective. Last offseason saw the Packers acquire Micah Parsons, who inked a $44 million signing bonus. Additionally, the departure of several key players accelerated the accounting cost of their compensation, further weighing on expenses.

Big picture: The Packers' results confirmed that the NFL's financial position is the strongest in sports, while offering a whispered warning that it isn't entirely infallible, particularly when teams spend aggressively to compete.
