2025 TGL Betting Online - Bet on Golf
The inaugural season of TGL Golf was a remarkable success, with both players and fans embracing the new league. Atlanta Drive GC claimed the first TGL championship by defeating New York Golf Club in the finals, winning the best-of-three series 2-0, with scores of 6-5 in Match 1 and 4-3 in Match 2. The team was spearheaded by Billy Horschel, Justin Thomas, and Patrick Cantlay.
While Thomas and Cantlay are well-known figures, Horschel emerged as the MVP for Atlanta this season, consistently delivering in crucial moments and leading the team to victory. He also performed impressively during the regular season, particularly in singles, where he won the most individual holes of any player.
On the other hand, Wyndham Clark was likely the MVP during the regular season, but his injury kept him from participating in The Bay Golf Club's semifinal match against Atlanta. Clark had amassed the most points in the regular season, ranking among the top three in all driving statistics and excelling as the best player from the sand.

Euro 2024 Golden Boot Race: Niclas Füllkrug Joins the Leaders
The 2024 UEFA European Championship has kicked off in Munich with an explosive start, featuring a record-breaking 16 goals in the first four matches. Notably, there have already been six own goals at Euro 2024, surpassing half of the total own goals recorded at Euro 2020, which ended with 11.
A popular prop bet during this tournament is predicting the Golden Boot winner, awarded to the player who scores the most goals. Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo clinched the Golden Boot in 2020 with five goals. Patrik Schick of the Czech Republic also netted five goals, but Ronaldo's assist, which serves as the first tiebreaker (followed by the fewest minutes played), secured him the prestigious award.

If Ronaldo wins Euros 2024, the G.O.A.T. debate with Messi reopens
Whisper it now: The most entertaining, infuriating, contentious, and passionate debate in soccer might be on the verge of fully reopening. For most, except a still significant minority, Lionel Messi secured everlasting victory in the G.O.A.T. discussion (or at least the greatest of modern times) when he won the World Cup for Argentina in Qatar in 2022.
Cristiano Ronaldo, it seemed, despite still having his gleaming smile and impressive physique at age 39, was destined to be remembered as the second-best in the most elite and exclusive club soccer has ever seen.

2024-2025 NFL odds: 12 quarterbacks make up the Super Bowl QB bubble
On Thursday's edition of "The Herd," Colin Cowherd delved into the topic of quarterbacks. Cowherd identified the 12 quarterbacks he believes are in the 2024-2025 Super Bowl contention, proposing that there are only two ways to win a Super Bowl. "Have Mahomes, Stafford, Brady, Peyton Manning, a next-level superstar, like a really elite all-time guy, or have a talented guy on a rookie contract."
He then divided the 12 quarterbacks into two categories: superstars and talented QBs on more affordable contracts. Said Cowherd of his second tier, "The other six are very good quarterbacks, and they are not getting paid yet. … I think Purdy is the least-talented, but he's talented enough, and he's not making a nickel."

2024-2025 NFL odds: Patriots make history as underdog in all 17 games
After two decades of NFL dominance, topped off by a few years of mediocrity, oddsmakers have very low expectations for the New England Patriots next season. After a disappointing four-win season last year, the Patriots' projected win total for the 2024-2025 season stands at 4.5. Currently, they share the second-longest odds in the NFL to win the Super Bowl at +15000.
Moreover, their odds are set at +900 to secure a playoff spot and +2500 to clinch the AFC East division title.
In a significant shift, Bill Belichick, who led the Patriots to unparalleled success over 24 years, will not return as head coach next season. Jerod Mayo, previously serving as inside linebackers coach under Belichick for five seasons, will step into the head coaching role for New England. During Mayo's tenure on the coaching staff, the Patriots' defense ranked in the top 10 in total defense on four occasions.

We're just days away from the NBA Draft, and the Atlanta Hawks retain the coveted No. 1 pick. The draft lottery yielded some surprises, notably the Detroit Pistons, who held the league's worst record but dropped to the fifth pick.
Both the Pistons and the Wizards had a 14% chance of securing the top pick, while Atlanta had only a 3% chance. As draft day approaches, the question looms: will the Hawks use the pick to draft a potential superstar or opt to trade it away?

2024 NBA Draft odds: Will Zach Edey be a lottery pick?
Amidst the buzz surrounding the 2024 NBA Draft, much of the spotlight is on the Atlanta Hawks' top pick and the destination of Bronny James. However, another intriguing topic of discussion is Zach Edey's draft prospects. Edey, who claimed the National Player of the Year title in consecutive seasons, showcased his dominance by leading the nation in scoring with 25.2 points per game and ranking third in rebounds with 12.2 per game last season.
Although the towering center may not be among the top contenders for the first few picks, the question remains: will he secure a spot in the lottery?
