As anyone who’s older than five years old has discovered, the future is very unpredictable. That’s why putting together a list that ranks the players with the best futures on the PGA Tour is a chancy proposition at best. The players on this list are all known commodities, and based on their performances to this point, all are worthy of being great players. The other side of that coin, however,...

If it is unpredictability and competition that you desire, this year probably wasn’t for you, with one team winning all but three races.

Although they fell agonisingly short of the big prize, 2014 was still a year to remember for Argentina. La Albiceleste may not have found their best football during the World Cup, but they were an extremely tricky side to keep down and fought all the way to a final against Germany. Having smashed seven past pitiful hosts Brazil, Germany found Alejandro Sabella’s charges a whole different...

Among the swarm of budding superstars to have made their breakthroughs in 2014, New Zealand up-and-comer Malakai Fekitoa made bigger strides than any other. When we speak of emerging stars, we’re not speaking exclusively of younger stars, either—although Fekitoa is still a babe at just 22—but of players who came out of the wilderness and showed an entirely new quality.

Break out the noisemakers, poppers and those lovely “2015” glasses. The new year is upon us. And, if you didn’t notice, the (2014-)2015 golf season has already begun. Thus, it’s unclear whether the tour’s best made their resolutions prior to the start of the 2014-2015 season in October or waited until closer to the first of the year…another unexpected wonder of the...

Marin Cilic‘s season will be starting off on the wrong foot, as the tennis star will miss the Brisbane International. SI Tennis on Twitter has the report: Cilic finished 54-21 a year ago, winning four singles titles including the U.S. Open, where he upset Roger Federer in the semifinals. Big things will be expected from the 26-year-old in 2015, though the...

As impressive as Daniil Kvyat‘s debut Formula One campaign was, and as great as he could go on to become, there is one significant detail that concerns his move to Red Bull for 2015. If Sebastian Vettel had made his decision to join Ferrari two months earlier than he did—at the beginning of the summer break in August, as opposed to the eve of the Japanese Grand Prix in early October—Kvyat,...
