Is the reign of the world’s No. 1 in golf ending? For more than two years, Scottie Scheffler has dominated the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), staying at the top for 123 weeks in a row, a record only Tiger Woods has surpassed.

For Tiger Woods, one of the “proudest moments” this year likely came when Sam Woods’s soccer career “ended.” In February, Sam Woods played a key role in leading the Benjamin High School varsity girls’ soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Lake Christian, securing their spot in the Florida Class 2A state championship game. Talking about her soccer season, Mr. T said, “To be able to end her high school career like that and to go on as a state champion is pretty cool.” However, despite taking a different path than her father and younger brother, Charlie Woods, Sam Woods has added another feather to…
