Hits Monaco streets, Scheffler seeks Memorial hat-trick and World Cup teams tune up in final friendlies
Formula One's European swing lands in Monaco this weekend after five rounds in Asia and the Americas. Mercedes' 19-year-old Italian Kimi Antonelli pursues a fifth straight win to extend a 43-point championship lead, while Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton remain potential disruptors on the streets of Monte Carlo. George Russell could return to the podium as McLaren marks its 1,000th race start with Lando Norris chasing his first win of the year, and Max Verstappen looms as a constant threat. In golf, Scottie Scheffler headlines the Memorial field at Jack Nicklaus's Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, aiming to match Tiger Woods' three consecutive Memorial wins. He heads a strong field that includes Rory McIlroy, who returns to the event for the first time in two years, Aaron Rai, Cameron Young, and Xander Schauffele, with a multi‑million‑dollar purse on the line. Meanwhile, World Cup friendlies provide final tune‑ups for the 48 teams ahead of the June 11 kickoff, underscoring a weekend where racing, golf, and international soccer intersect in global sport.
