  • 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am purse, prize money: Payout for golfers, winner’s share from $20 million pool


    The second signature event of the 2025 PGA Tour season means the second big winner’s check is up for grabs at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Playing for $20 million and a winner’s share of $3,600,000, 80 competitors will give it their all on the Monterey Peninsula.

    Last season, Scottie Scheffler took care of a majority of the signature events. Playing in seven of them as he chose to forgo the Wells Fargo Championship, the world No. 1 collected four winner’s checks, including the elevated $4 million top prize at the Arnold Palmer Invitational given its status as a player invitational.

    Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Chris Kirk and Wyndham Clark were the four other players to win signature events in 2024, and Matsuyama has already done it again in 2025 with his triumph at The Sentry. He looks to follow in the footsteps of Scheffler by cashing multiple signature event checks; Clark came into the week as the reigning champion, giving him a leg up on the competition as well.

    The eventual winner is not the only player who will see a bump in his bank account by tournament’s end. Those who finish inside the top 10 will clear $500,000 with those inside the top 35 all making at least six figures for their play at Pebble Beach.

    Let’s take a look at how the payouts for the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am were be divided among the 80 players at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

  • VFL Dalton Knecht Named to All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge Pool


    Dalton Knecht

    Former Tennessee wing and current Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht has been named to the player pool for the 2025 NBA Rising Stars Challenge

    The Rising Stars Challenge will take place on the Friday before the NBA All-Star game as four teams comprised of the league’s best young talent will compete in a mini-tournament. Three of the teams will be made up of rookies and sophomores from the league while the fourth team is made up of G-League Players.

    The winner of the mini-tournament will then move on to All-Star Sunday.

    Rather than the traditional East vs West format, the NBA is turning to another mini-tournament with its biggest stars. The NBA will have 24 traditional All-Star selections who will be split up into three teams. The fourth team in the mini-tournament on Sunday will be the winner of the Rising Stars Challenge mini-tournament.

    WNBA legend and former Lady Vols great Candace Parker will serve as the honorary GM for the Rising Stars Challenge winner.

    It may be a little confusing for some, so let’s look at it from strictly a Dalton Knecht perspective.

    Knecht is one of 25 players available to be drafted in the Rising Stars Challenge and will be selected to a team for the RSC mini-tournament. Two of Knecht’s opponents will be teams consisting of first- and second-year NBA players while the third is made up of G-League players.

    Let’s say Knecht’s team wins the Rising Stars Challenge event on Friday night. His group, “Team Candace” as it will be called, will then move on to Sunday to be one of the four teams in the All-Star Game tournament.

    Each of the four teams will play one knockout game on Sunday to determine which two teams will advance to the final game on Sunday night. The games will be a “first to 40” scoring format.

    Here’s Ernie Johnson to explain how things will work:

    More from RTI: Zakai Zeigler Enters SEC Record Book During Loss to Kentucky

    Back to the former Tennessee star, though.

    Knecht is one of 10 NBA rookies to be selected for the 25-person player pool. There are several former SEC names that Tennessee fans might be familiar with including Trayce Jackson-Davis (brother of former Vol QB Tayven Jackson), Brandon Miller (Alabama), Cason Wallace (Kentucky), and Reed Sheppard (Kentucky).

    “It means a lot, it’s a good accomplishment,” Knecht said about the selection via Lakers Nation. “At the same time, it’s just the Rising Stars game. I’m more focused on the season than anything.”

    Through 45 games this season, Knecht is averaging 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 20.9 minutes per game for the 26-19 Lakers. The former Vol has been fairly up and down this season but still provides a spark. In the last week alone, Knecht has games of just two and three points in addition to games of 13 points, 13 points, and 24 points.

    The 2025 Rising Stars Challenge will take place at 9:00 p.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 14, from the Chase Center.

    With Tennessee basketball suffering back-to-back losses against Auburn and Kentucky this week, treat yourself with a few highlights from Knecht’s incredible season at Tennessee last year:

  • NBA All-Star Weekend participants tracker: Rising Stars player pool revealed


    NBA All-Star Weekend will feature a host of events on Feb. 14-16 in San Francisco, beginning with the Rising Stars game on Friday and culminating with the All-Star Game on Sunday night.

    Last year in addition to the 3-point contest there was also a mixed 3-point competition featuring Golden State’s Steph Curry against New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, with Ionescu falling to Curry in a close match. The NBA has not yet confirmed whether there will be a rematch or some other version of the event in this year’s festivities (though Caitlin Clark will not take part, if there is).

    But what we do know is that players are beginning to commit to All-Star events, and we’re keeping track of who will be involved. This story will be updated as the field develops.

    Rising Stars event

    The NBA released its player pool for the Rising Stars event Tuesday, with young San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama being the clear headliner.

    This event will be a four-team mini-tournament featuring young NBA players and a collection of NBA G League standouts. NBA rookies and sophomores will be drafted onto three teams on Feb. 4, with the G Leaguers making up a fourth team. The G League team will include Reed Sheppard, who was the No. 3 pick in the 2024 draft by the Houston Rockets. Sheppard is averaging 30.7 points, 8.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

    The four teams, each with seven-player rosters, will compete on Friday, Feb. 14, the first night of All-Star festivities.

    Here are the players:

    Rookies: Bub Carrington (Wizards), Stephon Castle (Spurs), Tristan Da Silva (Magic), Zach Edey (Grizzlies), Dalton Knecht (Lakers), Jared McCain (76ers), Yves Missi (Pelicans), Zaccharie Risacher (Hawks), Alex Sarr (Wizards), Jaylen Wells (Grizzlies).

    Sophomores: Bilal Coulibaly (Wizards), Gradey Dick (Raptors), Keyonte George (Jazz), Scoot Henderson (Trail Blazers), Trayce Jackson-Davis (Warriors), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Heat), Dereck Lively II (Mavericks), Brandon Miller (Hornets), Amen Thompson (Rockets), Cason Wallace (Thunder), Victor Wembanyama (Spurs).

    NBA G League: JD Davison (Maine Celtics), Mac McClung (Osceola Magic), Bryce McGowens (Rip City Remix), Leonard Miller (Iowa Wolves), Dink Pate (Mexico City Capitanes), Reed Sheppard (Rio Grande Valley Vipers), Pat Spencer (Santa Cruz Warriors).

    Slam dunk contest

    Mac McClung will return and attempt to not only defend his crown, but to become the first person to win the even three times in a row. The 6-foot-2 McClung is a unique case, as he has only played in five NBA games in four years. Last year he was allowed to compete despite spending the entire season in the G League. He is currently on a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic.

    Here is the field, as reported by ESPN. It has not yet been confirmed by the NBA.

    • Mac McClung (Magic)
    • Stephon Castle (Spurs)
    • Matas Buzelis (Bulls)
    • Andre Jackson Jr. (Bucks)

    3-point contest

    The participants are TBD. Damian Lillard won this event last year.

    Skills Challenge

    Contestants have yet to be revealed. Last year, this was won by Team Pacers when Tyrese Haliburton made a half-court shot in the tie-breaker round.
