Marion Hollins elected to 2021 class of Golf Hall of Fame​

Marion Hollins financed and developed a golf course for women in New York and was the brains behind two fabled golf courses in California. And with one determined swing, she set in motion plans for the famous par-3 16th at Cypress Point.
A visionary in golf course architecture, a confidante of Alister MacKenzie and a U.S. Women's Amateur champion, Hollins now takes her place among the greats in the game. She was elected into the World Golf Hall of Fame through the contributor's category, joining a 2021 class that so far includes Tiger Woods. The Hall of Fame announced her election Friday. The induction is planned for March in Florid

WNBA Power Rankings -- Washington Mystics, Seattle Storm lead the way

Might Sabrina Ionescu go from one of the top college teams in the country, the Pac-12 champion Oregon Ducks, to the last-place team in the WNBA? Right now, that's where her new team, the New York Liberty, projects in our first power rankings of what we hope will be the 2020 WNBA season. The WNBA draft is over, and the Liberty added six picks, led by No. 1 Ionescu. While it seems unlikely all will make the roster, it still will be a young team trying to establish an identity under new coach Walt Hopkins. Maybe the Liberty will surprise us, but it could be a season of growing pains for Ionescu and her teammates.

College football tiers: Clemson and Ohio State on top, but who's next?​

There are two inherent truths about college football's top 25 rankings. The first is that everyone reads them. The second is that everyone hates them. The point of all this is to say that the top 25 rankings are a sham, yet the entire idea is still so ingrained in our college football culture that, even if we hate it on a surface level, we can't help but bow to its ubiquitous power.To quote the great Frank Costanza, there has to be a better way! Indeed, there is: Tiers. No "1 through 25," but rather groups of teams on a similar level. This isn't exactly scientific, either, of course. But it's a start.

Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu, Iowa's Spencer Lee share Sullivan Award​

Oregon women's basketball star Sabrina Ionescu and Iowa wrestler Spencer Lee shared the Sullivan Award on Wednesday night as the country's top amateur athletes.
