Masters 2026: After Rory McIlroy’s spectacular win, what’s the best storyline this year?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rory McIlroy, sporting the green jacket he’d owned for less than an hour, looked out at the assembled media on April 13, 2025, and smiled a weary smile. “I'd like to start this press conference with a question myself,” he said. “What are we all going to talk about next year?”

It’s a fair question. When McIlroy finally won another major, finally won his Masters in try No. 17, finally claimed his career grand slam, it didn’t just represent the culmination of his career. That glorious 2025 victory represented the end of a chapter in Masters history, the best possible conclusion to one of the tournament’s longest-running storylines. With McIlroy’s victory assured, with Tiger Woods now clearly a part of the tournament’s history rather than its present or future, the Masters needs new storylines.

So. Whatarewe going to talk about this year?

Fortunately, Augusta National has a way of creating myths out of the thick Georgia air. No matter what unfolds over the next six days, it will take on the tones and colors of legend.

Broadly speaking, the best Masters stories break down into three categories: ascension, domination and resurrection. In other words: a new champion, an elite champion, or a returning champion. Every one of the finest Masters — 2025, 2019, 1997, 1986 and so on — features some combination of the three. So which will it be this year? Here are our best guesses.

Ascension: Greatness debuts

Augusta National has a way of welcoming future Hall of Famers to the big stage, like Woods and Jordan Spieth. With all due respect to literally every other tournament, there’s something special about a Masters win that elevates a player’s career to another level entirely. Any of these paths would make for a fantastic week:

First-time major winners:Tommy Fleetwood leads the pack here; if the Englishman can claim his first major this week, he’d be one of the golf world’s most popular winners in years. Akshay Bhatia also appears ready to level up. Min Woo Lee, Max Homa and Viktor Hovland would also be crowd favorites if they were atop the leaderboard on Sunday.

First-time Masters winners:Justin Rose really deserves another shot at this, having lost two Masters in playoffs (to Sergio Garcia in 2017 and McIlroy last year). Shane Lowry might set off the finest party Augusta has ever seen. And if Gary Woodland managed to win a green jacket after his personal challenges, there wouldn’t be a dry eye on the grounds.

An amateur:No amateur has ever won the Masters; Ken Venturi came the closest, finishing solo second to Jack Burke in 1956. Sam Burns made a run in 2023 but finished T16. Were any of this year’s six amateurs to get in the weekend mix, they’d be an instant national celebrity.

Domination: Greatness flexes its muscle

Every once in a while, the best have to remind the world why they’re the best. Yes, dramatic 18th-hole playoff finishes are spectacular, but so too is the walk up the 18th fairway when the champion only needs a triple-bogey to win.

Rory McIlroy:If he were to back up his 2025 nailbiter with a 2026 masterpiece, well, that would be something, wouldn’t it?

Jon Rahm:Just how good is Rahm these days? It’s tough to say because his days are on the LIV circuit, but if the 2023 champion were to come to Augusta National and lap the field, well, a whole lot of the “did he make a mistake?” talk would quiet down.

Scottie Scheffler:Won his two Masters by three and four strokes, respectively. When he finds his groove, there’s nobody that can even slow him down.

Bryson DeChambeau:Also fits in the “First-time Masters winners” category, but man, if DeChambeau were able to back up his talk with a triumphant walk through the pines, well, we’d like to see the YouTube behind-the-scenes videos that would come from that.

Resurrection: Greatness, once lost, is now found

The Masters has a way of bringing greats back onstage for one more turn in the spotlight — think Jack Nicklaus in 1986 or Tiger Woods in 2019. These players are primed for one of those return-to-greatness moments.

Jordan Spieth:The next player in line for a truly great comeback story. After winning a Masters in 2015 and giving one away in 2016, Spieth seemed like the next legend. It hasn’t quite worked out that way, but if he were able to find that winning form for one more weekend, he’d be the most popular contender in the field.

Keegan Bradley:He has just one major to his credit, a PGA Championship all the way back in 2011 … meaning the most notable line on his resume is last year’s catastrophic Ryder Cup captaincy. A green jacket would go a long way toward rehabilitating that.

Brooks Koepka:After spending several seasons on LIV, Koepka has largely been welcomed back by the PGA Tour galleries. He too belongs in the “first-time Masters winners” category, but a Koepka post-LIV victory would have resonance beyond just the leaderboard.

Sergio Garcia & Patrick Reed:Both have severely tested their fans’ patience over the years, but a victory might —might— eliminate some of the hard feelings.

Fred Couples:No, it won’t happen. But man, can you imagine how great another Freddie win would be?

Of course, the best result might just be one where we have no idea what’s going to happen all the way into late Sunday afternoon. Think back to, say, 2011, when eight different players held at least a share of the lead on the tournament’s final day, five simultaneously on the back nine. Charl Schwartzel claimed the green jacket with four straight closing birdies, but it remains one of the most spectacular Masters tournaments ever because of the sheer chaos.

We don’t yet know what the story of this week will be. But it’ll definitely be worth retelling. At Augusta National, a victory always is.

Kevin Durant, Rockets spoil Stephen Curry's return from injury, beat Warriors 117-116

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Alperen Sengun made the go-ahead layup with 11 seconds left on a pass from Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets held offStephen Curry in his returnafter being sidelined more than two months for a 117-116 victory Sunday night.

Rockets Warriors Basketball

Curry missed a long, straightaway 3-pointer in the final seconds.

Gary Payton II scored the go-ahead basket on a goaltend by Amen Thompson with 20 seconds left, but Durant took charge on the other end. He finished with 31 points, eight rebounds and eight assists against his former team, making a crucial 3-pointer with 2:10 remaining.

But he missed with 38 seconds left, and Draymond Green found a cutting Payton in the key.

Curry dazzled down the stretch to score 29 points on 11-for-21 shooting in 26 minutes after missing 27 straight games because of a right knee injury — his first action since Jan. 30 against Detroit.

Curry's driving layup made it a one-point game with 1:27 left then Sengun converted a three-point play moments later only for Curry to hit a 3 on the other end.

Curry entered to a warm standing ovationand greetings on the big screen — he also expressed his gratitude on video — when he entered with 4:54 left in the opening quarter. It marked the first time he has come off the bench in a regular-season game since March 7, 2012, against Memphis. He last was a reserve in Game 4 of the first round of the 2022 playoffs during the Warriors' last championship run.

Things briefly got heated midway through the second quarter when Green and Jabari Smith Jr. exchanged words and had to be separated. Smith wound up with 23 points and nine rebounds while Sengun added 24 points and Thompson 18 and seven assists.

Curry andyounger brother Sethplayed together for the first time when Stephen re-entered the game at the 6:19 mark of the second quarter, the first time two brothers have been together in Warriors franchise history, according to Elias.

Seth Curry appeared in six preseason games for Golden State in 2013 then played for the team's G League Santa Cruz Warriors that year — with the brothers playing all of 100 seconds together during the fourth quarter of two games during that '13 preseason.

Los Angeles LakersguardLuka Doncic was ruled outfor the final five games of the NBA regular season on April 3.

Despite the news, Doncic and the Lakers are hopeful that he can be ready in time for a postseason run.

Doncic suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in the Lakers'lossto theOklahoma City Thunderon April 2.

What is a Grade 2 hamstring strain?

A Grade 2 hamstring strain is a "moderate injury that is typically a partial tear in the muscle; patients are likely to limp when walking and will have occasional twinges of pain during activity," according toMercy Health.

The injury could take close to a month to heal, but "returning to sports before the injury is fully healed can cause more severe injuries."

Injury-riddled Lakers lose to Mavericks

Playing without Doncic and Austin Reaves —who has an oblique injury— the Lakers were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks,134-128, on April 5.

LeBron James finished with a team-high 30 points as the Lakers continue to march toward the postseason without the services of two of their key contributors.

The Mavericks were led by rookie Cooper Flagg,who scored 45 points in Dallas' victory.

Reaves' injury is expected to keep him sidelined for four to six weeks.

SNL Mocks Pam Bondi & Kristi Noem Getting Fired in Cold Open

Saturday Night Live (SNL)got fresh fodder to mock as President Donald Trump recently firedPam BondiandKristi Noem. Instead of its usual Trump-led cold open, the April 4 episode went in a different direction. SNL used a sports parody to speak about the headlines.

Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem mocked in SNL cold open

The cold open on SNL was framed as an NCAA Final Four post-game show. Kenan Thompson, playing NBA legend Charles Barkley, wentoff-script to comment on current events. That includedthe firing ofPam Bondi as attorney general. "As attorney general, Pam Bondi was, and I don't say this often, terrible," Thompson's Barkley quipped. "It is a shame when somebody gets fired, but we should all be glad that that freckle-chested dragon lady is gone," he added.

Ashley Padilla then appeared as Bondi, making a dramatic rebuttal filled with exaggerated humor. "The truth is, I was amazing at my job, and I am proud to say I made history as the first woman ever to be fired as attorney general," she said. "I shattered that glass exit door!" Then the character quickly broke down, adding, "They threw my headshot in the trash like it was the Epstein files!" This was a reference to one of the most politically sensitive scandals during Bondi's 14-month tenure.

Donald Trump announced Bondi's removal on Truth Social, stating she would "transition" to the private sector. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, was named acting attorney general.

The sketch also briefly mocked former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whom Trump fired on March 5. Thompson's Barkley referenced an unverified Daily Mail report about Noem's husband, joking that he "looks like he's starring in 'Big Momma's House 4.'" Noem's firing followed a dispute reportedly over a $220 million Homeland Security advertising campaign that prominently featured her. Her tenure had already been marred due to immigration enforcement policies and public backlash.

It's a boy! Scottie Scheffler arrives at Masters with 9-day-old son and a game he hopes is ready

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler arrived at Augusta National on Sunday, and he brought the whole family with him. All four of them.

Masters Golf

Scheffler, who tends to keep his golf separate from his home life, had not shared any information sincewithdrawing from the Houston Open two weeks agobecause of the impending birth of his second child. He said wife Meredith gave birth to a boy on March 27. They named him Remy.

"We just liked it," Scheffler said about the name. His first son, Bennett, was born in 2024 before the PGA Championship. "We didn't have very many good boy names, to be honest with you."

There he was, in a stroller Meredith was pushing under the famous oak tree by the clubhouse, 9 days old and already at his first Masters.

It added to the sights rarely seen anywhere else on the Sunday before a major. That holds true with so much about the Masters.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy has been at the club all weekend, watching theAugusta National Women's Amateuron Saturday and handing out trophies to a group of boys in the annual Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals on Sunday.

McIlroy has talked about how much he looked forward to returning as the Masters champion and enjoying all the perks that go with it. He was in his green jacket during the Drive, Chip and Putt, and posed with Maria Jose Marin, the ANWA winner and first Colombian to join the roll call of Augusta National winners.

Then he headed out to the golf course with his father, Gerry, and Augusta member Jimmy Dunne. Next up is the Masters Club dinner Tuesday andthe elaborate menuhe has put together.

"It is the most exclusive dinner club in all of sport, and I think we should all feel very fortunate that we are there," he told Golf Channel after his part in the trophy presentation Sunday. "But we're there because of the hard work and the good play that we've been able to produce."

He also mentioned two players who won't be at the dinner — Tiger Woods, arrested and briefly jailed for suspicion of driving under the influence during aMarch 27 car crash, and Phil Mickelson, who is tending to a personal health matter at home.

"Unfortunately, there will be a couple of guys that won't be in that room, which is a shame, but I want to make sure that they're acknowledged as well," McIlroy said. "They've been two of the greatest champions that the Masters has ever seen. But it's going to be a really cool night. I can't wait. I hope everyone enjoys the dinner and enjoys everything that I've selected."

Bryson DeChambeau also was at Augusta National on Saturday for the end of the ANWA, consoling Asterisk Talley after the 17-year-old hit two shots into Rae's Creek for a quadruple-bogey 7 on the par-3 12th hole that cost her a chance to win.

DeChambeau grew up about 45 minutes away from where Talley lives in the central valley of California. They know each other well.

"Obviously, I've had difficult moments in my career, and if there's anything I can do to support her, that's what I'm here for. That's why I'm here to support," DeChambeau told reporters Saturday.

He teed off Sunday by himself after the DC&P was over, walking to slap hands and pose for photos with kids and spectators some 100 yards down the right side of the tee. "I've got to go play," he told them before running to catch up with his caddie. There are exceptions for running at Augusta National.

Also there was Gary Player, the three-time Masters champion who will be hitting the honorary tee shot on Thursday. The Black Night was on the putting green as the Boys 7-9 division was preparing for its putting competition on the 18th green.

There was 8-year-old Landyn Kelly from Henderson, Nevada, rapping 40-foot putts toward the hole with 90-year-old Player watching with amazement.

"What a touch! What a touch he has, man!" Player exclaimed.

Scheffler took this Sunday to play with Blake Smith, his longtime manager, who had never played Augusta National. Scheffler and McIlroy are fighting some history this week. Adam Scott in 2013 is the last player to win the Masters after having three weeks off.

"I've been practicing," Scheffler said. "I've been able to do a good amount at home."

Duke's Cameron Boozer wins men's Naismith Player of the Year award

Cameron Boozer's fantastic freshman season has earned him the Naismith Award for college basketball's men's player of the year.

The Duke forward was given the award on Sunday after he averaged 22.5 points and 10.2 rebounds a game in 2025-26. Duke narrowly missed out on advancing to the Final Fourafter UConn stunned the Blue Devils 73-72 in the Elite Eight.

"I'm incredibly honored to receive the Naismith Player of the Year Award," Boozer said in a statement. "When you think about the history of this award and all the great players who've been recognized before, it really puts things in perspective. It's something I don't take lightly. This game has given me so much, and I've been lucky to be surrounded by amazing teammates, coaches, and a family that's supported me every step of the way. They've challenged me, believed in me, and helped me grow not just as a player, but as a person. I know I still have a long way to go, and this recognition just motivates me to keep working and do everything I can to keep improving every day."

Boozer's strong season powered Duke to the ACC regular season and tournament titles along with the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament. He scored at least 30 points on four different occasions and shot nearly 56% from the field.

In Duke's season-ending loss to the Huskies, Boozer scored 27 points and had 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

Though he hasn't officially made his NBA Draft decision, Boozer is considered a likely top-five pick in what should be a stellar draft class. Boozer was the No. 3 recruit in the high school class of 2025 behind BYU's AJ Dybantsa and Kansas' Darryn Peterson.

He chose Duke along with his twin brother Cayden, a four-star prospect. The two picked Duke, where their father, Carlos, starred for three seasons from 1999 through 2002 before he was a second-round pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2002 NBA Draft.

Cameron Boozer shot over 50% from the field in 27 of Duke's 38 games in 2025-26. Thanks to early-season wins over Kansas, Arkansas, Florida and Michigan State, Boozer immediately established himself as the best player in college basketball to take a lot of the drama out of the player of the year discussion.

Boozer scored 35 points on 13-of-18 shooting in a November win over Arkansas before following that up with 18 points and 15 rebounds in a 66-60 win at Michigan State on Dec. 6.

He was just as good in ACC play. Boozer scored 24 points and had 11 rebounds in Duke's only conference loss of the season at North Carolina. When the Tar Heels came to Duke to end the regular season, Boozer was 10-of-17 from the field for 26 points and had 15 rebounds in what could have been his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Along with Boozer, Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd was named the Naismith coach of the year and Florida's Rueben Chinyelu was named the defensive player of the year. Lloyd's award comes a day after his Wildcats were blown out in the Final Four by Michigan as the Wolverines advanced to play UConn in the national championship game on Monday night.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 Episode 1 Recap: Mystic/Majestic Messiness

When Bravo tried to giveThe Real Housewives of Atlantaa soft reboot last year, no one would have predicted just how off the rails things would become.

You had Porsha in the throes of a divorce, unable to film the show inside her home. A scantily clad insurance agent threatened Kenya with a gun, and that escalated into a revenge porn saga that is still playing out in court. It was a mess, but at this point, we're considering it as a test run for the greatness that we seem to have in store for Season 17.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 Episode 1, "A Warm Welcome," kicked off another new era for the beloved franchise, and they really mean it this time. They've got reality TV vets, shady songstresses, and a bankrupt restaurateur ready to give us everything that we need. Let's dive into it!

What happened in The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 Episode 1?

RHOA Season 17 kicked off in style with Porsha inviting everyone into the mansion that she won in her divorce from Simon. After fighting tooth and nail for this house and the right to film in it, she wasted no time throwing an over-the-top "Mystic Island" dinner party. That's where she introducedLove & Hip Hop'sK. Michelle to the group, but a little bit ofSeason 16 dramastill lingered in the air. It's a new season, but not everyone is starting off with a clean slate.

Welcome to Bravo, K. Michelle

The worst-kept secret in the Bravoverse was K. Michelle makingthe unprecedented jumpfrom Love & Hip Hop to Housewives. We've certainly strayed far away from the gates of Coto de Caza with this casting choice, but in the premiere, K made it clear that she's in a different place than the last time we saw her on TV.

These days, she's focused on her country music career. Also, plot twist: She's married. Two weeks before filming, she tied the knot with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Dr. Kastan. After seeing her try to find love onQueen's Court, he apparently realized it was time to commit for real.

Porsha met up with K at a photoshoot and extended an invite to the Mystic Island party, setting up her first introduction to the rest of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast.

Although K didn't specifically mention L&HH, she said that she felt a little nervous about being introduced to a new group of Atlanta reality stars. She's been burned in the past—is it going to happen again?

Shamea has a new BFF

Watching Porsha and Shamea's decades-long friendship implode last season felt like watching a slow-motion car crash. But when they dropped that bombshell thattheir moms also have beef, it all started making a lot more sense. This breakup was a long time coming. Things only got worse after the reunion.

Shamea explained that she had a delayed reaction to some of Porsha's reunion shade. She watched it back and got in her feelings all over again. Rookie mistake.

Her second mistake was trying to reach out to Porsha to resolve it over text. That didn't go well, and their last chat didn't end on a positive note.

With Porsha on ice, Shamea came into Season 17 with a new BFF: Kelli, the Queen of Waffles! Somehow, Kelli has been promoted to bestie status, and that's not the only person Shamea has in her corner.

In the premiere, Shamea introduced us to Season 17's other newbie, Pinky. We're still not quite sure if we should thank her for this or hold her accountable for this new addition. Jury is still out on that one.

Porsha brought a "friend friend" to her party

Porsha's Mystic Island party, which she mistakenly called "Majestic Island," was framed as a couples' event. Everyone thought it seemed a little strange to host in the mansion she just got from her ex-husband. Is it too soon? Not in Porsha's eyes.

With only a handful of actual couples in the group, some of these ladies were scrambling to have a plus one—including Porsha. She introduced us to a guy named Mike, whom she referred to as her "friend friend."

Of course, this is the first time we're seeing her with this "friend friend," and surely, it's just a coincidence that he's an actor who previously appeared on the OWN dating series Ready to Love. We got to see his acting chops in action tonight, and it was fully giving Kenya and Walter energy.

Similarly, Kelli showed up with a guy that everyone said they recognized from dating other women around Atlanta. He's a man of the community.

Phaedra also seemed to have brought some hired help. Her plus one was "Che Che," akaCheick Kone. She first met him at a speed-dating event onMarried to Medicine, and he has since become a reliable, on-screen plus-one. Are they actually dating? Who knows.

Meanwhile, Cynthia and Drew brought their dates via FaceTime. Drew hadher rumored boyfriend, Blakk, propped up on her phone, and apparently, he stuck around for the entire party. He kept that ring light plugged in and his smile on for three hours. That's a good "friend" and a good battery on Drew's phone.

Shamea landed in the hot seat at the Mystic Island party

With Shamea and Porsha's relationship on shaky ground, she felt hesitant about the Mystic Island party. The fact that her husband couldn't come because of a "rerouted" flight made things even more nerve-racking.

It turns out, Shamea didn't have much to worry about with her former bestie. Porsha hugged her and said she felt a sense of closure after their last conversation. She was ready to approach their friendship from a place of "openness."

Porsha also brought up thatstrange apology videothat Shamea uploaded to YouTube shortly after the reunion. She thought it seemed sincere, but not everyone agreed with that take.

Drew jumped in and accused Shamea of taking shots at her in that YouTube apology. The RHOA editors put the receipts right there in the episode. Shamea definitely shaded Drew and accused her of having lying tendencies.

Cynthia asked Shamea if she wanted to pull Drew aside to talk about it. She wasn't interested. Instead, Shamea turned things around by calling Drew out on something she said about Angela.

Season 16's storylines are haunting the group

It turns out, Drew went to Phaedra after the reunion and said she didn't believe those Junebug/Godfather of Atlantaaccusations Angela threw out. The receipts weren't "receipting."

Drew admitted to saying that, but Angela already knew about it. Either way, this conversation reopened the floodgates for Angela and Phaedra to relitigate their drama and add new accusations into the mix.

At the reunion, Angela claimed to have been accosted by one of Phaedra's friends at an Atlanta Hawks game, but at the Mystic Island party, Phaedra claimed she had video proof from the arena's security cameras that this never happened.

That's a pretty big claim for someone who says they aren't the Godfather of Atlanta, but in a confessional, she admitted that she was bluffing.

"I didn't look at the tapes, but I asked for the tapes to be reviewed," Phaedra admitted.

Regardless, Porsha didn't let the drama get out of control. She encouraged the ladies to table their shady debates for another day. After all, this is just the first episode. They've got plenty of time to work through all of this, and Porsha said in a confessional that more shade is coming soon.

"I feel like I was a gracious host," Porsha said, reflecting on the Mystic Island party.

She continued, "I wasn't very ratchet. I wasn't reading anybody. I'm saving all of that for later."

‘Brady Bunch’ star Eve Plumb reveals teen date with on-screen brother Christopher Knight

A very "Brady Bunch" indeed…

Eve Plumb revealed she once went on a failed date with her on-screen "Brady Bunch" brother Christopher Knight.

After the sitcom ended, Plumb, who played middle sister Jan Brady, and Knight, who played middle brother Peter Brady, tried to go on a date, but it turned into an amorous bungle.

"It was sweet," the actress, 67, told Page Six in a recent exclusive interview. "It was fun, but we were really already by that time just too good of friends to make that transition into being romantic partners."

In her upcoming memoir, "Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond," the actress writes that "any attempts at making out that evening ended with laughter and resignation that we'd always be sister and brother, even in real life."

And that "sibling" bond continues.

"We've stayed friends to this day," she shared.

So much so that Plumb and her husband have a monthly Zoom call with Knight and his wife.

"We're due for one now," Plumb noted, explaining that it started during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued.

Plumb was already a seasoned child actress when she won the role of Jan in the sitcom, which ran from 1969 to 1974 and spawned a spate of TV spinoffs, specials and two movies.

Jan's "middle-child" issues, like feeling overshadowed by older sister Marcia (played by Maureen McCormick), which prompted the now-famous whiny, petulant catchphrase, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" made her character maybe the most memorable of the six siblings.

Plumb did not appear in the short-lived spinoff series "The Brady Bunch Hour," which ran for only nine episodes. Geri Reischl filled in for Jan, leading many fans to believe Plumb disliked being associated with the sitcom — something she said is not true.

"At the time, I was shooting [the TV movie] 'Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway,' and decided that I would continue to try other avenues," she revealed.

Although, she did take part in the short-lived sitcom, "The Brady Brides," which saw Jan and Marcia sharing a house, both as newlyweds.

Plumb acknowledged that, as a child actress, she was lucky to have a stable home life and parents who encouraged her and meticulously looked after her earnings.

She said she earned "enough" from the sitcom, "but it wasn't ever a lot of money, and so it was invested, and I didn't have to get a day job, which was fortunate."

Plumb has continued working and also has another career as an accomplished painter, which hasspawned a lifestyle brand.

The "Brady Brides" alum said she likes painting because "it's something that I have complete control over about when I do it, what I'm doing, how I do it, and it's fun!"
