The Open Championship in 2026 just crowned its Champion Golfer of the Year, a surprising underdog win from Ryan Fox. But two of the most prominent, successful, and accomplished golfers of the tournament keep grabbing headlines: Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau.DeChambeau became the center of attention, and the story of the Open, before the event even started. After missing the cut at all three majors heading into Royal Birkdale, commentators Nick Faldo and Brandel Chamblee both went after him for either prioritizing YouTube golf over competition, or in Faldo's case, an apparent lack of "strategy" in attacking links golf.Sure enough, DeChambeau quickly put himself in contention, including what appeared to be a second-round 66 that moved him to seven under par and within one shot of the second round leader, Lucas Herbert at -8. But after the round had completed, rules officials took him back to the fifth hole after reviewing footage that they believed showed he incorrectly improved the area around his backswing. Despite a lengthy discussion and argument, DeChambeau was addressed a two-shot penalty. And reportedly considered sitting out the remainder of the tournament in protest.GOLF ANALYST BRANDEL CHAMBLEE DISGUSTINGLY BURIES BRYSON DECHAMBEAU AFTER BRITISH OPEN PENALTYThere have been passionate arguments on both sides over the legitimacy of the ruling. Many have said it was justified considering it appears on camera as though DeChambeau steps around the area carelessly, while several players, including Xander Schauffele, have come out in his favor.Then there's the other side of it, that DeChambeau might have held up the R&A's announcement of tee times for round three while deciding whether to play. That certainly rubbed some players the wrong way, including McIlroy."I wont pretend to be up here and defend Bryson," he told reporters. "Im not particularly fond of him. I think a lot of it is performative. I think a lot of its for attention."To hold the tournament hostage like that and to have all of us players, volunteers, everyone waiting on him to depart, I didnt feel like it was a great look," McIlroy said."I think theres no doubt that he improved the line of his backswing," he added. "Again, its like, whether it was careless or whether it was intentional, I dont think it matters. Hopefully, it was careless, but I think the two-shot penalty was justified, for sure."RORY MCILROY BLASTS BRYSON DECHAMBEAU FOR HOLDING THE OPEN 'HOSTAGE' OVER PENALTY CHAOS: 'IT IS PERFORMATIVE'It's rare to see a player speak out that, shall we say, aggressively, about another. But McIlroy has increasingly in recent years been more open with his thoughts to the media. Perhaps worn down by years of being one of the most visible and prominent personalities on the PGA Tour, his role in opposing the formation of LIV Golf, starting TGL, or even after winning The Masters, questions about his legacy or years of struggles in major championships. But whatever the cause, McIlroy's answer about DeChambeau summarized who he's become as a public figure.And it was also a bit hypocritical.For all his qualities, obviously one of the best golfers of the modern era, someone whose commitment to the PGA Tour helped keep it together as LIV grabbed star after star, and his competitiveness in big events, McIlroy has frequently also demonstrated petulance, immaturity, and in some cases, performative behavior. Which is why he, like DeChambeau, has become a polarizing figure in the golf world.When he lost the 2024 U.S. Open, to Bryson, after a series of poor holes down the stretch at Pinehurst, McIlroy just...left. He didn't speak to the media, he didn't address fans, or handle the loss with grace and composure, he just...bailed. Then was defensive about it afterward. He didn't speak to the media at all after his four rounds at the PGA Championship in 2025.In one infamous incident, he grabbed a fan's phone and walked away with it, before returning it later. At the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, it was widely reported that some unruly fans yelled unacceptable things towards him, but instead of handling , McIlroy snapped, screaming obscenities right back. At the 2023 Ryder Cup, he had to be restrained from going after Team USA caddies in the parking lot.He smashed a tee marker at a US Open, and slammed his driver at the 2026 PGA Championship. He bragged after winning The Masters that he's become almost an honorary member at Augusta National, flying privately up from his home in Florida to practice there each spring. While the PGA Tour looks for ways to increase the number of events featuring top players competing against each other, McIlroy has made no secret of his intention to play as few tournaments as possible because his focus is exclusively on winning majors.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThat's the issue with calling out others for perceived personality flaws. He has many of his own. Which is not to say that he's some malignant figure in the golf world, or even that he's necessarily wrong about DeChambeau. But he's had plenty of incidents that others would call performative, or breaching proper conduct, or losing decorum. That's why McIlroy has become such a polarizing figure. He's often willing to criticize others, even though his own career has featured plenty of emotional outbursts and controversial moments. That doesn't necessarily mean he's wrong about DeChambeau, but it does make his criticism easier to question.Is DeChambeau performative at times? Sure; he's made no bones about the fact that he views part of his role as being an entertainer. He is an entertainer, professional sports are an entertainment product. If fans didn't find them entertaining, there'd be no one watching. Does that mean he cheated? No. Would McIlroy have been furious about receiving a penalty in that situation? Almost certainly.There's a reason for the phrase, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Rory should remember it.

The 2026 World Cup final is here with Argentina facing Spain on Sunday at New York New Jersey Stadium. Argentina is competing in its second consecutive final, looking to defend its 2022 title, and Spain is seeking its first trophy since 2010. Spain dominantly earned its final place after defeating the former World Cup favorite France, 2-0, and Argentina stormed back to defeat England, 2-1, and etch its name in the title game. Leading into the championship game, Spain and Argentinas World Cup journeys have been nothing but thrilling. Argentina and Spain easily clinched their group stages, despite Cape Verde holding Spain to a 0-0 draw in their World Cup opener. Argentina finished with nine points after wins over Algeria, Austria and Jordan. Heading into the round of 32, Argentina and Cape Verde went goal for goal until the game-winner came in extra time, which made for one of the most exciting games of the tournament. Yet again, Argentinas round of 16 showdown came from one of the largest World Cup comebacks ever. Trailing Egypt, 2-0, until the 79th minute, Argentina combined for two goals in the final 11 minutes and another in stoppage time to advance to the quarterfinals to face Switzerland, which saw a comeback 2-1 win. Facing England in the semifinals, their comeback efforts helped them win again, with two goals in the 85th and stoppage time to clinch a second consecutive World Cup final. Spain cruised past Austria 3-0 in their round of 32 match and sent Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal home with a 1-0 win. After a 2-1 win over Belgium, Spain advanced to face World Cup favorites France in the semifinals. Although France had yet to trail in a World Cup game, Spains penalty in the 22nd minute set up a dominant 2-0 performance and held France scoreless. Spain now competes in its first final since 2010, when it last hoisted the World Cup trophy. Who Are The Referees For Spain vs. England? Slavko Vincic will be the head official for the World Cup final. Vincic's assignment also makes him the first Slovenian referee to officiate a FIFA World Cup final match. Serving as a FIFA referee since 2010, the title game will mark his sixth World Cup game he's officiated. In the 2026 tournament, Vincic officiated for Brazil vs. Morocco, Jordan vs. Algeria and Mexico vs. Ecuador in the round of 32. Among his World Cup matches, this will be the second time that he's officiated an Argentina game, where his first came from its first and only loss against Saudi Arabia in 2022. Vincic has never officiated the Spain national team in a World Cup, but has officiated four UEFA matches for the squad. Vincic is joined by assistant referees Tomaz Klancik and Andraz Kovacic. Referee: Slavko Vincic Assistant Referee 1: Tomaz Klancik Assistant Referee 2: Andraz Kovacic 4th Official: Adham Makhadmeh Reserve Assistant Referee: Mohammed Alkalaf

As the largest World Cup in history comes to a close, the 48-team tournament provided unforgettable moments, from comeback wins to international fans experiencing American culture for the first time. Ahead of Sunday's final, FOX Sports soccer analysts Zlatan Ibrahimovi, Thierry Henry and Alexi Lalas recapped their favorite moments from the tournament: Zlatan Ibrahimovi: The Fans Ibrahimovi: I will think about the fans. For me, the fans are very special. Different cultures, you have seen them sing, you have seen them cry, you have seen them celebrating, different cultures coming together. That is what football does. I can speak about goals and winning, whatever. Fans make it really special. We wouldnt be able to have this beautiful World Cup, or a game. Its all about the fans. You give back to the fans, and they make it very special. I dont want to enter a special country, because everybody has a special way of celebrating or bringing their cultures [together]. Football connects people. And that is whats beautiful about it. Thierry Henry: Tearful Tributes Henry: First, the tears of [Alexi] during USA vs. Paraguay in the national anthem. Second, [Rebecca] getting emotional when England got knocked out. Third, fairytales, Cape Verde and Vozinha. Viking Row. Special moment for me, when Ronaldo put the shirt off of Diogo Jota, remembering him. And lastly, maybe this is not a favorite moment, but we lost someone, Jayden Adams. Lets not forget about that. Condolences to the family. That will stay with me forever. Alexi Lalas: American Culture Lalas: That national anthem at that first [USA] game. For what it represented in that moment, in terms of nostalgia, and looking back 32 years and how far we had come. But also, I didnt necessarily know it at the moment, but now a month later, it was also kind of the starting point for the discovery of people who came from outside the United States. Or the rediscovery of Americans through the lens of the World Cup. Maybe a newfound respect. Its something our country needed, and this tournament provided it. Sometimes, you need to look at it through somebody else's lens to really appreciate it. I think that really happened this summer for Americans and for people that visited.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office is accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of attacking the Jewish state to distract from his record in New York after calling Netanyahu a "war criminal."The prime minister's office fired back Sunday after the Democratic mayor said his administration was exploring whether it could arrest the Israeli leader during an expected visit to the city under the International Criminal Court's warrant."The ICC is a kangaroo court that has no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis," Netanyahu's office wrote in an X post Sunday, amid recent reports he is nearing a trip to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump.POTENTIAL 2028 DEM CONTENDER UNLOADS ON NETANYAHU, ADMITS US-ISRAEL TIES AT 'CROSSROADS'"Its bogus arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu was issued by a disgraced former ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan, a few days before allegations of sexual misconduct against him became public," Netanyahu's office said. "It was a clear attempt by Khan to divert public attention and seek protection from scrutiny."Mamdani is following the same playbook, the office added."Instead of backing Khan's criminal behaviour, Mr. Mamdani should focus on fixing the damage his policies have caused New York," the post concluded. "Like Karim Khan, Mamdani appears interested in diverting public attention from his follies and attacking the leader of the Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East."MAMDANI SPARKS FIERCE BACKLASH FOR WORLD CUP STUNT 'PALLING AROUND' WITH RIKERS ISLAND CONVICTSIsrael vowed to ignore the ICC warrant while it roots Hamas, "a genocidal terrorist organization ," out of Gaza.Under Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership, Israel has taken unprecedented wartime measures to minimize harm to civilians while confronting Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that uses Palestinians as human shields and deliberately targets innocent Israeli civilians," the office's post read.Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News' "Fox & Friends Weekend" earlier Sunday that Mamdani is ostensibly hyperbolizing for "political theater.""This is a communist, antisemitic mayor trying to make news for his own audience," Pompeo said. "There's nothing more than that. This is no chance he's going to arrest Prime Minister Netanyahu when he comes to New York in September for the U.N. General assembly."It's just simply not going to happen, and he knows it."Even some Democrats have rejected Mamdani's stance, warning it could embolden terrorists at home and abroad."This isnt a college protest," former Democrat Mayor Eric Adams wrote on X. "This is the City of New York.""Threatening to arrest the democratically elected leader of one of Americas closest allies during U.N. General Assembly week isnt bold. Its reckless," Adams continued. "American diplomats, service members, and officials are stationed in dangerous places around the world. Irresponsible rhetoric like this doesnt stay in New York. It can put Americans at greater risk abroad. Leadership means understanding that your words have consequences. Reckless political theater can have very real-world costs."Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has long broken with Democrats on becoming the "anti-Israel party," telling the "clown" Mamdani to "sit down.""It's such a tough guy to say that kind of thing," Fetterman told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." "He has no way to do that, of course. Obviously, America is not even part of that corrupt court. And so he's just a clown to even say that. So he won't try that. Just sit down and focus on other the problems that they have in New York. That's really not your purview. You and I know that. Sit down."

The winner of the World Cup will hoist a trophy, receive championship rings for the first time and gain a lifetime of glory in what will be a defining moment in the country's sports history. It'll also lead to a significant payday. The World Cup winner earns $51 million. The second prize is $34 million. FIFA expanded the payout for the 2026 World Cup, setting a record with a combined $871 million paid to the 48 participating teams. That tally includes more than $100 million that was added in April after some federations in Europe lobbied for help to cover costs at a tournament across three countries that has required extensive travel and lodging costs. The $51 million for either Argentina or Spain is a large sum, but it also pales in comparison to the fortunes that are spent on global soccer. It's also smaller than what last year's Club World Cup winner earned in a tournament also played in the U.S. For perspective, the $51 million for the winner is less than the transfer fee paid Tuesday by English club Brighton for a 19-year-old defender who spent most of the World Cup on the bench, Croatia's Luka Vuskovic. Heres what to know about the World Cup prize money: All Teams Get Paid FIFA pays money to the 48 national federations in two categories: Prize money bonuses based on how far each team advances in the tournament and across-the-board payments to cover training and preparation costs. All 48 get at least $12.5 million for competing in the World Cup, including $10 million in prize money for qualifying and playing in the group stage. Each receives $2.5 million for pre-tournament training and expenses. That upfront money was agreed at past World Cups to help avoid pre-tournament tensions when it wasn't uncommon for players to claim that bonuses had not been paid by their federation. The prize money goes up depending on how far the teams advance. Higher Amounts Come After Federation Demands Some federations, especially from Europe, had told FIFA that the prize money structure and payments for preparation costs that had been set last year would see them lose money on the tournament unless their team went deep into the knockout rounds. France federation president Philippe Diallo told sports daily L'Equipe he had for several months drawn FIFA President Gianni Infantino's attention to World Cup teams not being properly rewarded, compared to what Club World Cup winner Chelsea got one year ago. That was $115 million, after FIFA had to promise a nine-figure reward that persuaded storied European clubs to play in the revamped competition. World Cup teams playing games in the United States also faced some tax obligations that are exempted in Canada and Mexico. World Cup Champion Gets The Big Bucks The eventual champion receives $51 million, compared to Argentinas federation $42 million for winning the 2022 tournament in Qatar. That 32-team edition had a total prize fund of $440 million. Here is what the others are getting: Runner-up: $34 million Third place (England): $30 million Fourth place (France): $28 million Quarterfinalists (fifth to eight): $20 million each Round of 16 (ninth to 16th): $16 million each Round of 32 (17th to 32nd): $12 million each Group stage (33rd-48th): $10 million each Flights And Hotels Are Covered In addition to the payout sums and under World Cup regulations, FIFA is already obliged to pay for businessclass return flights for each federation to travel to the tournament plus board and lodging for a 50-person delegation, which includes the players. The hotel payments start five nights before a teams first game and one night after it is eliminated. FIFA also covers the cost of domestic travel for up to 50 delegation members, and "a dedicated fleet of vehicles, including an equipment truck." The soccer federations of World Cup teams must pay for "adequate insurance ... including but not limited to injury, accident, disease and travel," plus "incidental hotel costs" and housing additional members of a delegation. The World Cup Trophy The greatest honor, of course, is the World Cup trophy. On Sunday, the champions will celebrate with it after the final whistle during an award ceremony. The original trophy is not awarded permanently. Instead, the winners will be presented with a gold-plated replica, which they get to keep. As for World Cup prize money, that's paid by FIFA to the federations not the players. It's up to each federation's rules how they handle the money. For example: U.S. soccer will get to keep 20% of the prize money. The remaining 80% that the U.S. mens national soccer team receives will be split evenly between the mens and womens national teams following a 2022 milestone agreement to pay its mens and womens teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money.

Stomach bugs can quickly turn a dream vacation into days spent in a hotel room, but doctors say packing a few key essentials can help keep your summer or fall trip on track.Gastrointestinal illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites commonly trigger nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The agency says travelers' diarrhea, usually caused by bacteria, is the most common travel-related illness.WHY A BLOWN-OUT PLANE WINDOW NEARLY SUCKED A PASSENGER OUTSIDE AT 16K FEETIt affects an estimated 30% to 70% of travelers during a two-week trip, depending on the destination and season.While not every stomach bug can be prevented, doctors say packing a few essentials before you leave can help manage symptoms, prevent dehydration and make it easier to know when it's time to seek medical care.Before your next trip, the CDC recommends packing the following items:If illness does strike, staying hydrated should be the top priority.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERMost people recover from common stomach bugs within one to three days without treatment, though dehydration can become serious enough to require medical attention, Chad D.

We have reached the 2026 World Cup final to cap off a memorable summer. That has us wondering: when will we see all these squads back in action when a trophy is on the line? Want to know when is the next top competition for European squads like England, France and Spain? What about Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and the rest of South America? When could the USA and Mexico face off? What about teams in Africa and Africa? Let's break it down: Europe (UEFA) 2026-27 Nations League: The Nations League competition begins in September and will run through next summer. The tournament was created in 2018 to allow teams across the continent to play competitive matches throughout the year while featuring a form of promotion and relegation that is more associated with clubs. The 2026-27 Nations League calendar begins with all qualified European teams (54 in all, with Russia suspended) starting with two group stage games each in September, October, and November. The quarterfinals will be in March 2027 and then the semifinals on June 9-10, 2027. The final and third-place match will be on June 13, 2027. Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal won the 2025-26 Nations League title over Lamine Yamal and Spain. Previous winners include Spain (2022-23), France (2021-22), and Portugal (2018-19). 2028 European Championship: Held every four years, the Euros is the continent's premier competition. The next edition will be held from June 9July 9, 2028, and will be held across Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Ireland. Eight cities and nine stadiums will host the competition, with the final on July 9 at Wembley Stadium in London. The defending champion is Spain, having defeated England 2-1 at the 2024 Euro held in Germany. It was Spain's fourth title overall (1960, 2008, 2012, 2024) while England remains without a trophy in the competition. Germany has three titles while France and Italy have two titles, respectively. Six nations (Portugal, Greece, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, and the Soviet Union) have one apiece. USA, Mexico, Canada, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) 2026-27 Nations League: The Nations League competition begins in September and will run through next summer. Much like the European edition, the tournament was created in 2019 to allow teams across the region to play competitive matches throughout the year. The 2026-27 Nations League calendar begins with all 41 CONCACAF teams starting with two group stage games each in September and October. The quarterfinals will be in November, with the semifinals/third-place match/final held in March 2027. Mexico won its first Nations League title in 2025 after the USA had won the first three editions. 2027 Gold Cup: Held every two years, the Gold Cup is the continent's premier tournament. Details on the tournament such as the host nation or the number of teams have yet to be announced. In recent editions, teams from other continents including Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been invited to fill out the field. Mexico defeated the USA, 2-1, last summer in Houston for its 10th title at the tournament. Only two other teams the USA with 7, and Canada with 1 have won the tournament. South America (CONMEBOL) 2027 Copa Amrica: The next official competition for the 10 South American sides Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venzuela will be the 2028 Copa Amrica. Lionel Messi and Argentina are back-to-back champions of the competition, including the 2024 edition that was held in the United States and featured a 16-team tournament, with six teams from CONCACAF joining the field. The hosts or the number of teams for the 2028 edition has yet to be determined, although the USA has reportedly expressed interest in hosting again. Overall, Argentina has won the competition 16 times the most ever. Uruguay has 15 titles (the last being in 2011) while Brazil has nine (the last in 2019). Chile, Paraguay, and Peru have two each while Colombia and Bolivia each have one. Venezuela and Bolivia are the only South American teams to not have a title. Africa (CAF) 2027 Africa Cup of Nations: The Africa Cup of Nations will make a switch to being held every four years and played during the summer after being a biennial event during the winter months. Next year's edition will be hosted by three countries Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda and will be from June 19 to July 17, 2027. The number of countries has yet to be announced, but the 2025 tournament had 24 teams. It was hosted in Morocco and had a controversial finish in which the hosts were awarded the title after Senegal was penalized for abandoning the final to protest a foul late in the game. Egypt leads all teams with seven titles. Asia (AFC) 2027 Asian Cup: The tournament will be FIFA's first major men's international tournament for 2027 as it will held from January 7 through February 5. The tournament held every four years will once again include 24 teams, including hosts Saudi Arabia. The field also includes several of the confederation's other teams that appeared at the 2026 World Cup Australia, Jordan, South Korea, Japan, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, and Uzbekistan. Qatar is back-to-back champions. Japan has four titles overall, while Iran and Saudi Arabia each have three. South Korea has two titles. Oceania (OFC) OFC Men's Nations Cup: The confederation composed of mainly South Pacific island nations such as Fiji, Tahiti and New Caledonia along with New Zealand has yet to announce when it will next have its tournament. The last one held was in 2024 with New Zealand winning it to clinch its 2026 World Cup spot. New Zealand has six titles while Tahiti has one. Australia has four, but left the confederation for Asia's AFC in 2006.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman took fresh aim at New York City Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Sunday, branding him a "clown" over his repeated interest in having Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly this September."[He's] such a tough guy to say that kind of thing. He has no way to do that," Fetterman said on "Sunday Morning Futures.""America's not even part of that corrupt court," he continued, referring to the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.FETTERMAN WARNS MAMDANI RISKS 'CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS' BY VOWING TO DEFY SCOTUS IMMIGRATION RULING"He's [Mamdani is] just a clown to even say that, so he won't try that. Just sit down and focus on other... problems that they have in New York. That's really not your purview. You and I know that. Sit down."Mamdani has repeatedly said he would seek to have Netanyahu arrested if the Israeli leader travels to New York City, citing the International Criminal Court's November 2024 arrest warrant accusing Netanyahu of war crimes and crimes against humanity stemming from Israel's war against Hamas.Most recently, the far-left mayor said his administration is actively exploring whether the city has the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu, calling him a "war criminal" who "belongs in The Hague," during an interview with The New York Times.Netanyahu has denied the allegations, and Israel rejects the ICC's jurisdiction over the matter.SEN JOHN FETTERMAN PLEDGES TO BE 'LAST MAN STANDING' IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN SUPPORT OF ISRAELThe United States is not a party to the Rome Statute that established the ICC and does not recognize the court's jurisdiction over U.S. citizens or Israeli officials.Fox News Digital previously reached out to the mayor's office asking whether Mamdani stands by calling Netanyahu a "war criminal," whether City Hall is actively consulting with the Law Department regarding possible legal action against the Israeli leader and whether the mayor would direct the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu if attorneys determined the city had legal authority.
