Miguel Angel Jimenez won his third tournament this season at the Principal Charity Classic. His victory came in a three-way playoff with Søren Kjeldsen and Cameron Percy.
The playoff lasted only one hole. Jimenez birdied it, closing out the tournament.
Jimenez jumped into the lead on day one with a 63 at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines, Iowa. Round two, he shot 66
Sunday, he did what he needed to do to capture another victory, making it a little closer than he would have liked with a 70 to finish in a tie.
“Well, this year my game is a little bit more round with everything. Holing some more putts, that helps to victory,” Jimenez said after winning. “A couple of years with no victories, last year end of the year started to play much better.”
Jimenez has been playing the tournament since 2016 and clearly enjoys it.
“People here are beautiful, they're very warm. I feel good, I feel good every time coming here I feel good. I will keep coming,” he added.
Stewart Cink, who did not play the Principal Charity Classic, remains in the top spot in the Power Performance Rankings.

Jon Rahm's $18 million payday highlights flawed system
Jon Rahm captured the season-long LIV Golf individual championship to cash in on an $18M bonus, and he has the league's nonsensical point system to thank. It's hard to argue that Rahm deserves the most lucrative season-long prize on the LIV Golf League in 2025. The Spaniard didn't win a single event in 13 LIV starts this year. He did finish runner-up four times, but was edged out in those tournaments by Adrian Meronk, Talor Gooch, Dean Burmester and Sebastian Munoz. Rahm had golden opportunities to win the last two events in Chicago and Indianapolis, but he fell short in a playoff both times. Despite going winless in 2025, Rahm still earned more points than Joaquin Niemann, who won five times and finished T4 at the final individual event in Indianapolis. No other player on LIV Golf won more than once this season. Somehow, winning nearly 40% of the league's tournaments this season wasn't enough to earn Niemann the individual championship. Instead, Rahm walked away with the top spot and an $18M bonus, while Niemann took home the $8M prize for second place. This highlights a major flaw in LIV's season-long individual competition. Rahm shouldn't have even had a chance to surpass Niemann in the standings with no wins on his resume. Wins need to matter more. For reference, Scottie Scheffler has also won five times this season, giving him 7,456 FedEx Cup points heading into the Tour Championship. Rory McIlroy, the next-closest player to Scheffler, has only 3,687. If the PGA Tour crowned a season-long champion based on points, which is how LIV Golf operates, no one would be able to come close to Scheffler at the season finale. Considering how much he dominated the PGA Tour this season, that would be a just conclusion that rewards the best player. Niemann was the best player on LIV Golf in 2025, but he lost out on $10M due to the league's unfair point system. If all Rahm cares about is money, he sure made the right decision to ditch the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. The 30-year-old didn't win a tournament all year and still banked $31.6M in prize money from LIV Golf alone. Last year, he made $34.8M in the rival league.
Urban Meyer pushes for Chargers or NFL to suspend Jim Harbaugh
Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer thinks the Los Angeles Chargers or the NFL should take it upon themselves to punish Jim Harbaugh. On Aug. 15, the NCAA punished Michigan for violations connected to the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal. Harbaugh received a 10-year show-cause order. During Wednesday's episode of "The Triple Option" podcast, Meyer compared Harbaugh's situation to that of Jim Tressel in 2011. Meyer argued that the league or the Chargers should suspend Harbaugh, like the Indianapolis Colts did to Tressel. "There's an elephant in the room here, boys, though, that no one's talking about," Meyer said. "When Jim Tressel was fired at Ohio State and he was given a suspension, Roger Goodell, commissioner of the National Football League, came out and said that, 'We're going to honor that suspension.' And you remember, he went to the Indianapolis Colts to work in the replay room or something. "The Colts, because of the respect they had for the NCAA and the suspension, you realize suspended Jim Tressel? So he was unable to perform his duties for the first six games of the year for the Indianapolis Colts. I think we all know the answer. Any chance that Roger Goodell and the NFL, of course not. And I don't know why." There is a belief that Harbaugh bolted to the Chargers after winning the national title in 2023 because he knew the NCAA was getting ready to punish the Wolverines. A six-game suspension is not comparable to a 10-year show-cause order, and punishing Harbaugh so lightly would be more symbolic than substantive. Frankly, it's bad business for the league to suspend Harbaugh and to connect the outspoken head coach to a trivial scandal that happened in college. Punishing Harbaugh would draw unwanted attention to the Chargers and the league, who knew what happened before he jumped to the NFL before the 2024 season.
Jerry Jones: Micah Parsons' agent told me where we could stick contract details
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to deal with David Mulugheta insofar as to get Micah Parsons' agent to fill out the paperwork on the contract extension that was already negotiated. During an appearance with Michael Irvin on Thursday, Jones said Mulugheta told him to shove the paperwork up their heinie. "When we wanted to send the details to the agent, The agents told us to stick it up our a--," Jones said. "Just so we're clear. (Parsons) and I talked, and then we were going to send it over to the agent, and we had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything. "We were going to send it over to the agent, and the agent said, 'Don't bother, because we've got all that to negotiate.' Well, I'd already negotiated. I'd already moved off my mark on several areas." Following an incoherent analogy to a child going between a mom and dad to negotiate, Jones accused Mulugheta of trying to "stick his nose" in negotiations to try to get the Cowboys to cave for a better deal for his client. Jones has no plans to back down from the agreement he had already worked out with Parsons. "In my mind, for the Dallas Cowboys, we've got it done," Jones said. "And if the agent wants to finish up the details, which he should, and do all the paperwork, he can do that, and we're ready to go. But as far as the amount of money, the years, the guarantees, all of that we negotiated." Dallas is set to conclude its preseason against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night with no end in sight to the biggest distraction on the team this summer. Jones should have avoided the situation with Parsons by dealing with Mulugheta directly, but that might have caused the theatre to be much less dramatic before the regular season.
'Look out for this dude': Former NFL exec has warning about unexpected SEC quarterback
Aaron Rodgers' influence having 'different' type of impact on Steelers
Throughout training camp, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has repeatedly scoffed at the "laughable" notion that he and veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers wouldn't jell. On Wednesday, Steelers reporter Jeff Hathhorn of Pittsburgh sports radio station 93.7 The Fan touched upon Rodgers' influence regarding the team's offense after Smith and former starter Russell Wilson allegedly didn't have the best working relationship last season. "I do think quarterbacks always have some kind of say in the offense," Hathhorn explained during an appearance on 93.7 The Fan, per Jake Brockhoff of Steelers Depot. "But the level of say seems to be different with Aaron Rodgers...If he gets up in a meeting and says, 'Hey, why don't we do this,' it's not gonna be like, 'We're just going to listen to your suggestion and move on.' It's gonna be like, 'Yeah, we'll look into that.'" The Steelers giving Rodgers some control of how the offense will operate is understandable, considering players have "gravitated to" the future Hall of Famer since he officially joined the club in June. The 41-year-old has taken younger Steelers players, such as wide receiver and 2024 third-round draft pick Roman Wilson, under his wing. He also has the support of locker-room leaders such as longtime Pittsburgh defensive lineman Cameron Heyward. "Some of the language they've used, they've altered for Aaron," Hathhorn continued. "I'm not saying they're giving the entire offense over to Aaron. But Aaron has a lot of say." Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger is among those who believe Rodgers' performances in training-camp practices show he could produce a "special" season with the Steelers. Hathhorn shared one way Rodgers could be an upgrade over what Wilson and fellow signal-caller Justin Fields offered the Pittsburgh offense during the 2024 campaign. "Where are the big plays we've seen for the most part in the preseason from the Steelers? The middle of the field," Hathhorn added during his comments. "We've seen them exploit the middle of the field a lot with this group." Rodgers and Smith reportedly kept in touch throughout the spring and during Pittsburgh's summer break. They seem to be on the same page heading into Labor Day, but it remains to be seen how Smith will react once Rodgers begins changing plays at the line of scrimmage during the Steelers' Week 1 game at the New York Jets on Sept. 7.
