SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly and print editor Michael Long pair up again to talk about the winner-takes-all showdown in Las Vegas between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, asking what, if anything, could be learned from The Match. They also discuss South America’s aborted soccer showpiece, as the world watched while bitter rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate didn’t play in the Copa Libertadores final, and the ITF’s controversial Kosovo’s-backed reforms to the Davis Cup.
Elsewhere, the FA’s Kelly Simmons discusses participation and the growth of women’s soccer in England, and with Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Curuana poised over the board in London, World Chess president Ilya Merenzon describes what AI, digital connections and a Tinder-style app mean for the future of the ancient game.
