The 14-time major winner’s latest comeback sees him headline a small field in the Bahamas this week and Masters champion Garcia is excited to see how he fares. Woods has undergone numerous surgeries on his troublesome back but spoke on Tuesday with confidence over his fitness, with the Spaniard hopeful this is not another false dawn for the 41-year-old. “I think it’s exciting not only from my perspective but from a golf perspective,” said Garcia, who will be taking part in the Australian PGA Championship while Woods is in action....

Sold alongside the standard Venu 2 released last year, the Venu 2 Plus offers one big upgrade; a microphone. While it might not sound like much, you’re able to not only access your virtual assistant – including Google Assistant, Siri and Bixby – but make and receive calls directly through the watch. Pair that with in-depth health and fitness tracking, a premium design and a great display and you’ve got a great – though not perfect – running-focused smartwatch....

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Brooks confirmed that he would hit the stage on Inauguration Day, joining such artists as Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Ant Clemons, Jon Bon Jovi and Tom Hanks, who is slated to host the post-inauguration television special, Celebrating America. “The message they’re pushing is unity, and that’s right down my alley, man,” Brooks said. “If we’re gonna get anywhere, we’re gonna get there together....

“Anything that anybody suggests or reads or writes or commentates about next season is nothing more than speculation,” he said Saturday in a Zoom call with reporters. “Obviously we’ve started informally thinking about what optionality is. Dec. 1 has always been a notional date. I will not be surprised if it slips into later December, it could slip into January. “But there’s no point right now [in] making any definitive comments on our plans, because there’s still too much we don’t know....

“He hadn’t gotten a hit in four at-bats,” manager A.J. Hinch said of the second basemen who led the American League in hits each of the past four seasons and is the MLB leader so far this year. Altuve was actually in an 0-for-13 slide before his fifth at-bat Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers. His 115th hit of the season was a one-out single off Chris Martin, who then hit Yuli Gurriel with a pitch before an errant pickoff throw allowed both runners to move up....

PC gamers that played 2014’s Gauntlet game will notice that Gauntlet: Slayer Edition is very familiar. That is because Slayer Edition is mostly just the updated version of the PC game, which added, among other things, Endless Mode. Endless Mode is one of three game modes available in Gauntlet: Slayer Edition, and is joined by the Campaign and the Colosseum, the latter of which is a challenge mode that is periodically updated by the developers to yield new rewards....

India exited the Cricket World Cup in the semi-finals, losing to New Zealand after topping the group stage table under Kohli. He will continue to lead the team in the United States and the Caribbean, though, with Gavaskar questioning why there was no discussions about Kohli’s position after India failed to reach the World Cup final. In a column in Indian outlet Mid Day, Gavaskar said: “That they selected the team for West Indies without first having a meeting to select the captain brings up the question of whether Virat Kohli is the captain of the team at his or the selection committee’s pleasure....

Newsom, a first-term governor who took office in 2019, has seen a decline in support as California imposed some of the country’s strictest lockdown measures during the coronavirus pandemic. The Democrat has also been plagued by controversies in recent months, including his dining out at a San Francisco restaurant for a lobbyist friend’s birthday with a group that exceeded in number California’s COVID-19 restrictions. “I made a bad mistake. I need to preach and practice, not just preach and not practice,” Newsom later told reporters after critics pointed out the governor had spent weeks asking residents to stay home and avoid gathering in groups in order to slow the virus’s spread....

Newsom slammed pre-emptive allegations that the recall election would be marred by voter fraud from former President Donald Trump and the leading Republican replacement candidate Larry Elder. Multiple news outlets projected that the recall had been defeated within an hour of polls closing after results showed the “no” vote leading by a comfortable double-digit margin. “I think about just in the last few days the former president [was] saying this election was rigged,” Newsom said....

During GDC 2011 in San Francisco, Crytek was on hand to show off their game on consoles and in stereoscopic 3D (which looks even better on gigantic televisions) and we had an opportunity to interview Nathan Camarillo who serves as Crysis 2’s executive producer. Camarillo is a very intelligent and passionate individual and had a lot to say in the brief time we had during the interview. He is also impressively excited and enthusiastic about his game, something that shows in his answers....

Mainly known for its Borderlands series, Gearbox Entertainment released two spin-off games this year. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands received mostly positive reviews, offering a tabletop RPG experience narrated by Borderlands’ Tiny Tina. The game reached the best-selling charts in several countries, exceeding the expectations of its publisher Take-Two Interactive. Gearbox announced that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was now a franchise and would get more games. The most recent release of Gearbox Entertainment, New Tales from the Borderlands, didn’t meet the same success....

Gears 5 multiplayer features a huge variety of executions that can be performed on a downed enemy. Batista’s finisher, the Batista Bomb, coincidentally was also a great way to finish off downed opponents in the ring. To be fair, real-world Batista’s finisher only stunned his opponents for a pin, while the Gears 5 version definitely makes his opponents explode. RELATED: Rumor: WWE Taking Break After WrestleMania 36 The Batista Bomb execution is free to all Gears 5 players, so long as they pick up the game and play between April 2 and April 18....

During the keynote, Game Center was briefly described as a social gaming platform for your iOS device where you’d be able to connect with friends to play games and challenge them for the top spots on the leaderboards. It was expected that Game Center would be one of the features bundled with the rollover to iOS 4.0. Once 4.0 was released, Game Center was missing. The following smaller updates, 4....

Kicking things off, Destiny 2’s Witch Queen expansion has been officially revealed, with the new content slated to launch on February 22 next year. While the new content gives players tons to look forward to, it does present some issues with the Season of the Lost’s narrative, though that might not end up being a huge deal.

Bethesda’s Indiana Jones game could be a huge deal, but there are some big questions about how developer Machine Games will approach it. With the studio’s previous work on Wolfenstein, it’s clear that it can nail a narrative about fighting Nazis, but how the experience with hyper-violence in Wolfenstein will translate to the relatively tame Indiana Jones franchise isn’t clear. RELATED: Game Rant Arcade Episode 3 Meanwhile, Lucasfilm Games had some other big announcements, with the studio upping its involvement with new Star Wars projects....

As many know, several states are seeing resurgences in the virus, leading many states to enforce mask mandates. Several retailers have taken it upon themselves to do the same, including GameStop. Considering how many were not happy with its initial response to the virus, with the company initially arguing that it was a essential business, it seemed like a bit of a course correction. However, perhaps due to no fault of its own, that may not be the case....

News of GameStop’s stock prices dominated news headlines earlier this year. Day traders on Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets subreddit worked together to begin buying and holding GameStock stock en masse. This caused GameStop’s stock to skyrocket over 200% in value. They did this in order to mess with some large firms that were short selling the stock; so they could make money, while the established traders lost big time.
