DP World Tour Championship: Rory McIlroy beaten by Matt Fitzpatrick in play-off after dramatic finish to Race to Dubai season
An incredible final day of the DP World Tour season saw a host of players challenging for victory at Jumeirah Golf Estates, where Matt Fitzpatick broke clear of a congested leaderboard to close a bogey-free 66 and set the clubhouse target at 18 under. McIlroy started with a share of the lead and briefly let a two-shot advantage slip during the back nine, only to deliver a dramatic 15-foot eagle on the final hole to force his Ryder Cup team-mate into extra holes.

Stream golf and more with no contract 📺 The players returned to the par-five 18th for a play-off, where McIlroy found water with his tee shot and Fitzpatrick's poor approach left both players missing the green with their third shot. The world No 2 splashed out of the greenside bunker to 20 feet but missed his putt for par, as Fitzpatrick got up and down to close out his first worldwide title victory since October 2023 and secure the season finale for a third time. McIlroy's runner-up finish extended his winning margin in the season-long Race to Dubai standings, ensuring he would win the Harry Vardon Trophy for a seventh time and move within one of Colin Montgomerie's record of eight Order of Merit titles. Fellow Ryder Cup stars Ludvig Åberg and Tommy Fleetwood shared third place with Laurie Canter and Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, while Rasmus Hojgaard finished three strokes back in seventh ahead of Robert MacIntyre, Angel Ayora and Haotong Li. Fitzpatrick pips McIlroy in final-day thriller Sixteen players went into the final day within three strokes of the lead, with Haotong Li's four birdies in the first five holes and Canter's fast start lifting both ahead of McIlroy before the overnight co-leader had teed off. McIlroy quickly hit the front with a birdie-birdie start before adding another from close range at the fifth and taking advantage of the par-five seventh, which moved him two ahead when Canter followed four birdies in his first seven holes by three-putting the eighth for bogey. Justin Rose also briefly co-led after playing a three-hole stretch in four under on his front nine, including a 50-foot eagle at the par-three sixth, while Fitzpatrick holed from a similar distance at the fourth during a run of three birdies in five holes. McIlroy cancelled out a birdie at the 11th with a dropped shot at the next to lose his outright advantage, with Canter alongside him on 17 under after holing a long-range birdie at the 14th. Fitzpatrick - playing in the penultimate group - made his move when he also took advantage of the 14th and drained a 25-footer at the next, while Åberg pitched in from off the 12th green and birdied the last to set the initial clubhouse target at 17 under. McIlroy slipped one behind when he found the fairway bunker off the 16th tee on his way to an untimely bogey, with the Northern Irishman briefly in fifth when Canter closed a final-round 67 and Fleetwood made five birdies on the back nine to make it a four-way tie at the top. Fitzpatrick broke clear of the pack with a six-foot birdie at the last, while Neergaard-Petersen made an eagle and two birdies in a late scoring burst to leave him and playing partner McIlroy both requiring a final-hole eagle to extend the tournament. Neegaard-Petersen fell agonisingly short, with a tap-in birdie leaving him tied-second, with McIlroy's eagle forcing his fourth worldwide play-off of the season before he narrowly missed out on a successful title defence. Tyrrell Hatton and Marco Penge - the only two players who could still overtake McIlroy in the Order of Merit - ended tied-14th and tied-22nd respectively, with Penge's runner-up finish in the Race to Dubai seeing him among the 10 players to secure a PGA Tour card and dual membership for next season. "It has been the year of my life," Penge said. "To have won three times and to be in contention as much as I have done, my game has improved so much, and I feel very proud of myself and everyone involved for helping me get to where I am today." McIlroy eyes European history after Race to Dubai victory A runner-up finish caps an impressive year for McIlroy and sees him overtake Seve Ballesteros' tally of Order of Merits, with the 36-year-old eyeing further history in the coming seasons. "He [Ballesteros] means so much to this tour and to the European Ryder Cup Team," McIlroy said. "We rally so much around his spirit and his quotes and everything he meant for European golf. To equal him last year was cool but to surpass him this year, I didn't get this far in my dreams. "It [Montgomerie's record] seems within touching distance now. I'd love to be the winningest European in terms of Order of Merits and season-long races. I've probably got a few more good years left in me and hopefully I can catch him and surpass him." Fitzpatrick, whose victory follows previous Dubai titles in 2016 and 2020, added: "It [winning] means the world. Struggled at the start of this year and to turn it around in the summer like I did and have a Ryder Cup like I did, feel like it's hard to top. "The way that I played today, you know, I feel like I really didn't hit one bad shot all day. I'm so proud of myself, the effort that everyone puts in behind the scenes. What a feeling." What's next? The new DP World Tour season begins with the BMW Australian PGA Championship from November 27-30, held at Royal Queensland GC in Brisbane and live on Sky Sports. McIlroy returns to action the following week in the Crown Australian Open at Royal Melbourne GC, the same week the Nedbank Golf Challenge takes place at Gary Player CC in South Africa, with both events also live on Sky Sports Golf.

Joseph Parker fails drugs test: Heavyweight tested positive for traces of cocaine on day of Fabio Wardley defeat
Parker's routine test given to the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency returned traces of cocaine. The test was conducted on the day of the New Zealand heavyweight's fight against Fabio Wardley, which the Briton won last month. The news of Parker's failed test only emerged on Friday. Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul in talks for December fightThe English champion on his stolen future: 'My life begins now'Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW Frank Warren's Queensbury Promotions said: "The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) last night informed all required parties that Joseph Parker returned an adverse finding following an anti-doping test conducted on October 25 in relation to his bout with Fabio Wardley. "While the matter is investigated further, no additional comment will be made at this time." Spencer Brown, Parker's UK manager, said: "We are in total shock at the findings. We are just waiting to speak to Joe, David Higgins and his promoter Frank Warren. "It is very early days and we will get to the bottom of it all." The British Boxing Board of Control [BBBofC] has told Sky Sports it is "investigating" the matter. Parker, 33, is a former world champion, who lost his belt to Anthony Joshua in 2018, but he went into his fight against Wardley in arguably the best form of his career. After a punishing loss to Joe Joyce in 2022, Parker won his last six contests prior to Wardley, picking up victories over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, as well as winning the WBO Interim strap. He was due to challenge then-IBF belt-holder Daniel Dubois in February, only for Dubois to fall ill just days before the fight was meant to take place. Parker put his position as the WBO mandatory challenger to undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk on the line by taking the fight against Wardley. It was a gamble that backfired and news of his failed drugs test now leaves major questions over his future in the sport. 'Possibility Parker is facing a two-year ban' Sky Sports Boxing expert Andy Scott: "The headline is shocking. "Everybody loves Joseph Parker. I think he's most people's second-favourite heavyweight. But there were questions as to why take that fight [against Wardley]? "He was in line to fight [Oleksandr] Usyk. He instead took a risky fight against Wardley, and now this is the headline. "Not only did he lose the fight, he now has this investigation that he will have to come out of and clear his name. "For context, Liam Cameron is the high-profile case in boxing with similar circumstances. He received a four-year ban for traces of cocaine, but the rules have changed since then. "It will be interesting to see how this develops further. There's a full investigation, we'll wait to see what the outcome is of that, but there is a possibility that he's facing a two-year ban."

NFL: Denver Broncos beat Kansas City Chiefs in key AFC clash and Josh Allen stars with six TDs in Buffalo Bills win
Kansas City Chiefs 19-22 Denver Broncos Wil Lutz kicked five field goals, including a 35-yard game-winner as time expired, to see the Denver Broncos to an eighth-straight victory as they beat the Kansas City Chiefs 22-19. With the win, the Broncos (9-2) have all but ensured the Chiefs (5-5) won't claim the AFC West divisional title for a 10th-straight season. Bo Nix set up the game-winning kick with a 32-yard pass to Troy Franklin that got Denver to the Kansas City 15-yard line with under a minute remaining. Patrick Mahomes had given Kansas City its only lead of the game on a 21-yard touchdown toss to Travis Kelce - the veteran tight end's 84th career TD, to set a new Chiefs franchise record and break his tie with Priest Holmes. That score put the Chiefs up 19-16, albeit Harrison Butker's extra point was blocked by Frank Crum, with the Broncos subsequently tying things up at 19-19 with four minutes remaining, before Lutz's game-winning kick late on.

Jason Myers came up short on a 61-yard field goal attempt for the win as time expired, ensuring the the Rams (8-2) claimed a fifth-straight victory as they held off a late Seahawks rally. Seattle's defense got a quick stop after Kenneth Walker dived in for the Seahawks' first touchdown with just under two and a half minutes to play. Sam Darnold then shook off his rough afternoon to get the Seahawks in position for a potential game-winning kick. Myers had made four earlier field goals, but came up well short with his final effort. Davante Adams claimed his 10th touchdown of the season for the Rams, while Kyren Williams rushed for 91 yards and a score. In defeat, the Seahawks' (7-3) remarkable 10-game win streak on the road ended. Baltimore Ravens 23-16 Cleveland Browns Tight end Mark Andrews ran 35 yards for the go-ahead touchdown on a fake tush push, as the Baltimore Ravens rallied for a 23-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns to spoil Shedeur Sanders' NFL debut. On fourth-and-inches at the Browns 35-yard line with two and a half minutes to go, Baltimore (5-5) lined up with Andrews under center but, instead of going up the middle, he escaped untouched out to the right and into the end zone. Rookie Sanders made his much-anticipated debut when coming into the game early in the second half in relief of starting QB Dillon Gabriel, who suffered a concussion. The son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders struggled throughout, going 4 for 16 for 47 yards, with an interception and being sacked twice, finishing with a 13.5 passer rating. Gabriel completed 7 of 10 passes for 68 yards in the first half. The Browns drop to 2-8 on the season, while the Ravens move back to .500 with their fourth-straight victory. San Francisco 49ers 41-22 Arizona Cardinals Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes in his return from a toe injury, while Christian McCaffrey had two rushing TDs and a receiving score as the San Francisco 49ers beat the sloppy Arizona Cardinals 41-22. McCaffrey extended his NFL record with his 17th career game with at least one rushing and receiving touchdown. Tight end George Kittle also found the end zone twice for the 49ers. The 49ers move to 7-4 on the season to stay competitive in the NFC West, while Arizona (3-7) lost for the sixth time in seven games. The Cardinals were called for a franchise-record 17 penalties, which was also the most for any team in the NFL this season. They had 11 penalties in the first half alone - tied for the most before half-time for any team over the past 20 years. Jacoby Brissett started his fifth-straight game at QB, in for the injured Kyler Murray, and completed 47 of 57 passes for 452 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. His 47 completions set an NFL record in the regular season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 32-43 Buffalo Bills Josh Allen tallied six total touchdowns - three passing and three rushing - in a staggering display as the Buffalo Bills beat out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44-32 in a thrilling back-and-forth contest. Reigning MVP Allen became the first player with two games of three TDs passing and rushing, having also achieved the feat in a 44-42 loss at the Los Angeles Rams last year. This time, Allen outdueled fellow 2018 first-round draft pick Baker Mayfield in a shootout that featured nine lead changes. Each of Allen's three touchdown passes went for 25 yards or more: running back Ty Johnson scored on a 52-yard catch-and-run, he found Tyrell Shavers open deep for a 43-yard touchdown, and James Cook scored on a 25-yard reception. Allen also provided the go-ahead score, a five-yard TD run with nine minutes left. He finished 19 of 30 for 317 yards, with the Bills (7-3) managing to overcome his two first-half interceptions. Tampa Bay (6-4) has lost two straight and four of its last seven, with the outcome decided when Mayfield lost a fumble when being sacked by DaQuan Jones inside the final two minutes. Mayfield finished 16 of 28 for 173 yards with two total TDs and an interception, whle Sean Tucker rushed for 106 yards and two scores. Chicago Bears 19-17 Minnesota Vikings Devin Duvernay's 56-yard kickoff return in the final minute set up Cairo Santos his game-winning fourth field goal of the day for the Chicago Bears as they held off a Minnesota Vikings comeback to win 19-17. After Vikings (4-6) quarterback JJ McCarthy ended another erratic performance with five-straight completions that culminated with a 15-yard scoring strike to Jordan Addison for the lead with 40 seconds left, Duvernay delivered the clutch response for the Bears (7-3). McCarthy, who played with a wrap on his throwing hand after hurting it on a helmet after a follow-through in Minnesota's previous game, ended consecutive second-quarter possessions with interceptions. He finished 16 for 32 for 150 yards and a 47.7 passer rating in his fifth career start. Caleb Williams, who was drafted No 1 by the Bears, nine picks ahead of McCarthy last year, had one of his least effective games this season while going 16 for 32 for 193 yards and scrambling four times for 26 yards. Cincinnati Bengals 12-34 Pittsburgh Steelers Mason Rudolph guided a pair of long second-half scoring drives after taking over for the injured Aaron Rodgers as the Pittsburgh Steelers surged past the Cincinnati Bengals in a 34-12 win. Rodgers, the NFL's oldest active player at 41, injured his left hand during a Pittsburgh drive late in the first half. While the Steelers (6-4) initially listed Rodgers' status as 'questionable', he did not return to the sideline for the second half. Enter Rudolph, who would complete 12 of 16 throws for 127 yards, including a five-yard touchdown pass to running back Kenneth Gainwell with three minutes 40 remaining that sealed it. Pittsburgh's defense, which was shredded by Joe Flacco and the Bengals (3-7) only a month ago, added two touchdowns of its own. ] Safety Kyle Dugger returned a Flacco pass 74 yards for a game-turning pick-six in the third quarter, while cornerback James Pierre added a 32-yard scoop-and-score late in the fourth. Ja'Marr Chase, who set a franchise record with 16 receptions in Cincinnati's first meeting with Pittsburgh, was held to three catches for 30 yards in the rematch. Carolina Panthers 30-27 Atlanta Falcons (OT) Bryce Young passed for a career-high and franchise-record 448 yards and Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a 28-yard field goal in overtime to guide the Carolina Panthers to a 30-27 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Young's 54-yard pass to Tommy Tremble set up the winning kick for Carolina (6-5), which completed its sweep over NFC South rivals Atlanta (3-7), who suffered their fifth-straight loss - including back-to-back overtime defeats. Young completed 31 of 45 passes,with three touchdowns, including the go-ahead 12-yard touchdown pass to Tetairoa McMillan with just over a minute remaining to give Carolina a 27-24 lead, before Zane Gonzalez kicked a 45-yard field goal for Atlanta with to force overtime. Bijan Robinson ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns, but the Falcons couldn't overcome the loss of quarterback Michael Penix Jr to a knee injury in the third quarter, with veteran backup Kirk Cousins unable to move the offense in overtime. Los Angeles Chargers 6-35 Jacksonville Jaguars The Jacksonville Jaguars bounced back from their worst collapse in franchise history by thumping the Los Angeles Chargers 35-6 behind rushing touchdowns from Travis Etienne, Trevor Lawrence and rookie Bhaysul Tuten. Coming off a 36-29 debacle at the Houston Texans last week, during which they blew a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars (6-4) showed no lingering effects from the crushing setback against a division rival. It might have helped that they faced the Chargers (7-4), who traveled across the country for an early start while potentially looking ahead to their bye. Coach Jim Harbaugh's team was a complete no-show, finishing with 135 yards and just eight first downs in the contest. Green Bay Packers 27-20 New York Giants Jordan Love returned from a shoulder injury to throw two touchdown passes, while backup Malik Willis had one of his own as the Green Bay Packers broke their two-game losing streak with a 27-20 win against a spirited New York Giants side. Love, who had left the game briefly with hurt left shoulder, provided some heroics on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, connecting with Christian Watson in the end zone for his second score with four minutes left. The victory came at a cost for the Packers (6-3-1), though, with starting running back Josh Jacobs exiting early in the second quarter with a knee injury. Even without him, the Green Bay took advantage early of an opposing run defense that ranks 31 out of the NFL's 32 teams. They had 106 of their 128 rushing yards before half-time, including a Savion Wilson TD that ended the drive Willis led while Love was sidelined. With Jameis Winston making his first start in 11 months and Mike Kafka debuting as interim coach after the firing of Brian Daboll, the Giants (2-9) lost their fifth game in a row. Winston finished 19 of 29 for 201 yards, with a quarterback-sneak touchdown, an interception and game-ending fumble. Devin Singletary, meanwhile, rushed for two TDs. Houston Texans 16-13 Tennessee Titans Matthew Wright kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired to see the Houston Texans beat AFC South rivals Tennessee Titans 16-13. Led by backup quarterback Davis Mills, the Texans (5-5) reached .500 for the first time this season with their third win in four games. They also won their fifth-straight over the Titans in Nashville, despite playing without CJ Stroud. In a game pitting the NFL's worst offense in Tennessee against the league's stingiest defense in both yards and points, Titans rookie QB Cam Ward drove the Titans 95 yards and threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Van Jefferson with 1.35 left in the game. But Mills easily moved the Texans into position to end it within the time remaining, the Titans dropping to 1-9 as a result. Washington Commanders 13-16 Miami Dolphins (OT) The Miami Dolphins beat the Washington Commanders 16-13 in overtime to mark Spain's historic NFL debut in Madrid on Sunday. Commanders (4-8) quarterback Marcus Mariota was intercepted by Jack Jones on the first play of overtime as his mistake paved the way for Riley Patterson's game-winning 29-yard field goal. Ollie Gordon, whose touchdown had pulled Miami level at 13-13 in the fourth quarter, was denied a potential-game-clinching moment in regulation when he was stuffed on fourth-and-goal from the one. Washington wasted their resulting opportunity moments later when Matt Gay missed a 56-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to send the game to overtime, where Miami (3-7) would ultimatealy triumph to close out the 2025 NFL season's record seventh international game.

Grand Slam of Darts: Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price set up semi-final showdown as Michael Smith's run comes to an end
It is Humphries' third semi-final in this major as he looks to claim it for a second time, while 2022 Grand Slam champion Smith's return from injury has come to an end after a valiant display. Humphries was in the zone and made it count early on in the clash, sweeping up the first four legs before Smith managed to stop the rot by taking out D10 to bring the score to 4-1. Grand Slam of Darts 2025: Latest scores & updatesLatest Grand Slam of Darts results, scheduleGet Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺Download the Sky Sports app for analysis, video & more# The second session went entirely with the throw to see the world No 1 move 7-3 in front, 'Bully Boy' stepping things up but Humphries continuing to play beautifully. The two former Grand Slam champions then took things up a notch and sent Wolverhampton wild as they both got themselves on nine-dart attempts, Smith then adding T20 and T19 before narrowly missing D12, 'Cool Hand' missing his seventh dart at T20. That leg gave Smith the world of confidence and with it he took the initiative to claim four legs on the bounce, two breaks of throw and a ridiculously poor leg from both on the doubles bringing things level at 7-7. However, just when he needed a big moment, Humphries found a sublime 138 checkout against the throw to stop the St Helens man taking the lead. That took the wind out of Smith's sails and allowed Humphries to put his foot on the gas to move 12-7 in front with five legs in his favour, Smith halting the slide once again to close at 12-8. That was the last leg Smith took, though, as Humphries just tuned out the noise and picked up the four remaining legs he needed. "I got involved in that 180, 180, 180, 180! I was thinking of you [Wayne Mardle]," Humphries told Sky Sports afterwards, talking about the nine-dart moment. "As soon as Michael missed that D12, I said to him 'this is my chance to do what you did (in the World Championship final against Michael van Gerwen in 2023)!' "I think it affected me for a few legs! I let my guard down a bit. "I missed D1 a lot. But a solid performance apart from that." Price shows composure to beat Evans and book semi spot Gerwyn Price booked his spot in the semi-finals with a comprehensive 16-9 victory over Ricky Evans. Every time Price has made the semi-finals of the tournament, he has gone on to win - in 2018, 2019, and 2021 - and the Welshman will hope that is the case again as he chases his fourth Grand Slam title. Price came out firing as he rattled off the first four legs, Evans' doubling really causing him trouble before he managed to avoid the whitewash in the first session with a break of throw. Evans upped his average to over 108 in the second session to get himself back into the contest with a couple of holds of throw, but Price then took his moment for a break of throw to move 7-3 ahead, letting out his signature roar. 'Rapid Ricky' would just not give up and found a break of throw to bring the scoreline to 9-6, battling away despite Price being the superior player and hitting a 116 checkout on his way to 12-8. But a big break of throw, two holds, and a 101 checkout on tops sealed the victory. "It's mad how everyone plays their best game against me! Twice Ricky played well in this tournament and it's twice against me," Price told Sky Sports. "I didn't play at my top game, but I played really good tonight. "I was quite calm apart from halfway through. I saw Ricky getting them [the crowd] up but I was like 'I'm giving that back, I have to!' "I love Ricky, he's a great player, he's in some great form. He's been fantastic over the last couple of months. "I'm coming back to my best. I'm not there yet." What's coming up on Saturday?

Antoine Semenyo: Liverpool, Man City and Spurs monitoring Bournemouth forward ahead of January transfer window
The forward signed a new contract in the summer amid interest from a number of clubs, including Spurs and Manchester United. Transfer Centre LIVE!| Latest on YOUR PL club!Premier League fixtures & scores | FREE highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch PL games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺Choose the Sky Sports push notifications you want! 🔔 Semenyo has continued to impress other teams with his performances for Bournemouth this season. Only Erling Haaland (11) and Igor Thiago (8) have scored more Premier League goals than Semenyo (6) this season. It follows on from a return of 11 league goals last year for the 25-year-old, and bids when the new window opens cannot be ruled out. Contrary to reports, however, Semenyo has not asked to leave and is believed to have been annoyed by those claims. No move materialised for Semenyo in the summer as United signed Bryan Mbeumo and Spurs signed Mohammed Kudus, so Semenyo signed a new five-year Bournemouth contract until 2030. Spurs are looking at signing another forward in January, particularly one who can play on the left, while Liverpool and City are also thinking about new forward options in the long term. Semenyo glad to have committed to Bournemouth amid transfer links Speaking to Sky Sports earlier this month, Semenyo said he is not oblivious to the speculation around his future, but revealed he was glad he remained with Bournemouth in the summer. Ahead of the Cherries' defeat at Manchester City, the winger spoke to Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp, and was quizzed about his future. "I don't think about it too much," Semenyo said. "I try to stay present as much as I can. You see the news all the time, I see it as well, I'm not oblivious, but I try to keep focused. "I'm enjoying my football here. If I'm not scoring goals, all of that goes away. I try to stay present, do the best I can for the team, score goals and whatever happens in the future happens. "When they [his former team-mates] all left [in the summer], there was a lot of interest and back and forth with the club. "But I knew in my head that the manager's got something up his sleeve this year. How we finished off the season last year was so good and we could continue, especially with the players we've bought in as well. "I wasn't too sure at the start but we've kicked on like a house on fire. I'm glad I committed to staying here because I'm enjoying every moment."
