Chicago is turning the page in a big way. The Bulls are finalizing the hire of Tiago Splitter as their next head coach, according to ESPN, bringing in the man who guided Portland to a forty-two and twenty record as their interim this past season. It's a fresh start for a franchise that needed one badly.
Shifting to the fairways, the two thousand twenty-six U.S. Open is underway at Shinnecock Hills, and Scottie Scheffler is the man to beat at plus five-fifty odds. The world number one is chasing the career grand slam, and he's the only golfer sitting in single-digit territory on the board. Rory McIlroy, fresh off his Masters title, checks in at eleven to one. The stage is set for something historic.
And over at the World Cup, Belgium and Egypt are set to square off in two thousand twenty-six action, with SportsLine's Jon Eimer breaking down his best bets from a model that's running thirty-one and thirteen. The picks are out, the lines are moving, and this one shapes up as a genuinely compelling group stage clash.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
