The Monaco Grand Prix decided to mix things up on Sunday by replacing Grid Girls with Grid Boys. Grid Girls have played a role in Formula One for over 40 years but have been labelled sexist by some.

With 15 laps remaining in the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix, everything seemed set for a predictable finish. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton was nearly 20 seconds ahead of his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, and was expected to become the seventh straight pole-sitter to take victory in the principality. Then, Toro Rosso teenager Max Verstappen clipped the back of Romain Grosjean’s Lotus as they...

Let’s face it, folks. As career skids go, a guy could do a lot worse. Since reaching the list of major champions with a wire-to-wire masterpiece at the Masters, 21-year-old wunderkind Jordan Spieth had proceeded to finish tied for 11th at the RBC Heritage and tied for 17th at the WGC-Cadillac Match Play before missing the cut at The Players Championship two weekends ago. And he collected precisely...

England’s heroes took prime placement in the rugby spotlight this weekend as the Premiership’s post-season calendar kicked off north of the equator.

As per usual, though, the titans of Super...

Unlike last week’s Wells Fargo Championship, which was a two-horse race down the stretch, the 2015 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial was anybody’s game late Sunday. On greens that were receptive to say the least, players had the opportunity to attack Colonial Country Club. And attack they did. Ultimately, Chris Kirk poked his head out of a scrum that saw 25 players within...
