"We are thrilled to partner with FOX Sports, one of the preeminent broadcast networks in the world," LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said in a news release. "LIV Golf is getting bigger and bolder, and this relationship signals the next phase of growth as our League joins the company of the nation’s premier sports leagues and conferences.

LIV Golf is drawing a younger, more active and tech-savvy fan base, and as our players and teams prepare for LIV Golf’s biggest season yet, this agreement will take our broadcast to new heights."

LIV Golf started as a breakaway league from the PGA Tour and with much scrutiny. Much of the criticism has fallen to the wayside over the last year as the league has attracted stars like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson.

It’s awesome to have a partner that shares our vision, and I think the fans are going to love what’s coming."

I believe FOX Sports shares our commitment to pushing boundaries and innovating, and I can’t wait to see how this collaboration connects more fans to our sport."

LIV Golf features 54-hole play at some of the most-well known golf courses in the world. There is a regular singles competition with an added team element to each tournament.

Rahm won the individual title with Joaquin Niemann, Sergio Garcia and Tyrell Hatton finishing behind him.

Crushers GC won the team title. The team featured DeChambeau, Paul Casey, Charles Howell III, Anirban Lahiri and John Catlin.

Travis Kelce shares Taylor Swift's thoughts on Chiefs star's possible retirement

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce appeared to enter the twilight of his career this season as his production numbers took a downturn in his 12th season in the NFL.

Kelce faced all kinds of criticism during the season, with accusations flying about him being washed up or spending too much time with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. He still managed to have 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games.

Even at 35 years old, Kelce was healthy for the entire season and only missed Week 18 as the Chiefs decided to rest their starters having already wrapped up a bye week. With the whiff of retirement entering the air as the season enters the final stretch, Kelce was asked whether Swift had any thoughts about him calling it a career.

"She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," the 10-time Pro Bowler said on "The Stephen A. Smith Show," adding that Swift loves coming to Arrowhead Stadium for games.

"I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams."

Kelce suggested he has contemplated stepping away, but his mind "changes every single day."

He is the most successful tight end in Chiefs history, surpassing Tony Gonzalez’s franchise records.

He has 1,004 receptions for 12,151 yards and 77 touchdowns in his career. He is chasing a fourth Super Bowl title with Kansas City. If the Chiefs succeed, it will be the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.

Jack Hoffman, a Nebraska Cornhuskers superfan battling cancer who captured the attention of the nation for his spring game touchdown run when he was 7 years old, has died. He was 19.

"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Jack Hoffman, the courageous namesake of the Team Jack Foundation. Jack passed away after a long and hard-fought battle with brain cancer, a journey that inspired countless lives and left a legacy of hope, strength, and resilience," the foundation said in a statement on social media.

"Through his battle, Jack touched lives far and wide. From his unforgettable 69-yard touchdown run during the Nebraska Spring Game that captivated the hearts of millions to the countless families who found solace and support through the work of the Team Jack Foundation, his impact will echo for generations. Jack may no longer be with us in person, but his legacy lives on in the work of the Team Jack Foundation, in the lives of the children and families we've helped, and in the hope he gave to so many."

Hoffman was initially diagnosed with brain cancer in 2011, and his parents helped launch the foundation to support research efforts to end pediatric brain cancer.

Hoffman’s father, Andy, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2020 and died March 1, 2021. He was 42.

The foundation has raised more than $12.6 million since 2013.

Hoffman went viral during Nebraska’s 2013 spring game after the coaching staff invited him to run a play in the fourth quarter. Hoffman ran for a 69-yard touchdown, and he was the talk of the sports world for several days.

In the midst of all of it, he started up a friendship with running back Rex Burkhead. The two, along with Hoffman’s family, later visited then-President Obama, who presented the youngster with a new football and told him he was proud of him.

"Love you buddy. Tell Jesus we say hello," Burkhead wrote in a post on X.

Hoffman played football at Atkinson High School and graduated in May. He was pre-law at the University of Nebraska-Kearney.
