The team at Golf Online Today knows there is a lot more to golfing success than technique, and that the tools a player uses can vastly impact their play and closeness to par. That’s why they have added to their growing information resource with a new guide to pitching wedges, a necessary club designed for short-range shots.

Golf Online Today appreciates that today even those players that play for fun also want to take advantage of some of the sport’s leading pro-grade technologies, and want to refine their performance. The Golf Online team also knows that golf clubs and other accessories are costly, and as such, for those players who are willing to invest, they want to ensure they pick the right tools.

As their new player's guide explains, “Pitching wedges are often used for shots that require a combination of accuracy and distance control. They are considered one of the most versatile clubs in a golfer’s bag and are often used for various shots around the green.”

While these clubs are versatile, they are typically designed with a higher loft. As most players know, each club in a golfer's kit has a different loft, which is the angle of the face of the club in relation to the ground. This important choice impacts how high or low the ball will travel.

Golf Online Today suggests that, when it comes to pitching wedges, the loft is particularly critical, and they also believe that this important club should be personalized to the player and their needs. As such, they also review some popular wedges and pitching wedges, including the Cleveland Golf CBX2 Wedge, which they describe as a versatile and forgiving wedge for beginners.

One of their other top choices is the Callaway Golf Mack Daddy 5 JAWS Wedge, which comes available in several different lofts, ideal for players looking for nuanced control.

As the online resource's pro players explain, “Understanding pitching wedge lofts and other types available can greatly improve your golf game by allowing you to choose the right club for any given shot. It is important to consider the distance you need to cover, the trajectory you want to achieve, and the course conditions when selecting the appropriate loft for your wedges.”

Raptors, Kawhi agree on 2-year, $115M   

KAWHI Leonard and the Toronto Raptors have agreed on a two-year contract extension that could be worth $115 million if he plays both seasons, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). The second year of the deal, the 2028–2029 season, is at Leonard’s option, according to the person who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Raptors have yet to announce that the contract has been finalized. ESPN first reported the terms, which were later confirmed by The Toronto Star and other outlets. Leonard, 35, led the Raptors to the 2019 NBA title and is now locked into a new deal with a team with eyes on competing for another title. He is coming off the highest-scoring season of his career, averaging 27.9 points for the Los Angeles Clippers in 65 games a year ago. Leonard will make just over $50 million this season, the last year of his current contract. It was generally assumed that the Raptors would strike a deal to keep Leonard — a seven-time All-Star, two-time NBA champion and two-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player — soon after landing him in a trade with the Clippers. The sides agreed to that trade in late June but didn’t complete it until earlier this month, delaying the process because of the NBA’s investigation into whether the Clippers circumvented salary cap rules on Leonard’s behalf. The NBA found four deals that ran afoul of league rules, leading to a one-year suspension of Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, the forfeiture of five first-round draft picks, suspensions of other team personnel and a $30-million fine. Leonard was fined $700,000 by the league but is not facing any suspension.

Ronaldo sets sight on new milestones   

ANY doubt 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo would continue with Portugal after another World Cup elimination should have ended before the tournament was done. The federation hired a new coach in 72-year-old Jorge Jesus, whose previous job was leading Ronaldo and Al Nassr to a Saudi league title in May. Ronaldo was duly named in the first Jesus squad last week, looking to add to 233 national team games and 146 goals. Portugal is the Nations League champion and starts its defense on Thursday hosting Wales. It should be the first Erling Haaland vs. Ronaldo meeting on Sunday in Oslo. Only one of Ronaldo’s 233 Portugal games was against Norway, in 2011 when Haaland was aged 10. Now 26, Haaland already has 62 goals for Norway, including seven in just five games at the World Cup. On the other hand, Scotland now has a Belgian coach (Sebastian Pocognoli), Belgium a Dutch coach (Mark van Bommel) and the Netherlands a Spanish coach (Xavi Hernández). Xavi has replaced Ronald Koeman for the second time in their careers, having followed the Dutch great into the Barcelona dugout in 2021. Xavi now leads the team he helped beat in the 2010 World Cup final. Italy has not been a World Cup team for 12 years but looked back at its European Championship title win in 2021 to hire Roberto Mancini for a second time. Meanwhile, the 16 top-ranked teams play in four round-robin groups through November. The top two in each group advance to quarterfinals played over two legs in March. A Final Four mini-tournament from June 9 to 13 will be hosted by one of the semifinalists. A further 16 teams play in each of the second-tier League B and third-tier League C, with six low-ranked teams in League D. Russia is still banned from international soccer. The final standings will help some teams enter qualifying playoffs in March 2028 for that year’s European Championship.

S. Korea clobbers Thailand to reach next phase in baseball

NAGOYA, Japan — The four-time defending champion South Korea ran its baseball winning streak to three games at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday, with a comfortable, 18-1 victory over Thailand.

Injured swimmer pulls out of 2 races

TOKYO — After battling through a shoulder injury in his first two races at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, swimmer Kim Woo-min withdrew from his next two races Wednesday. The Korea Swimming Federation said Kim will not defend his gold medal in the men's 800-meter freestyle event, scheduled for Thursday at Tokyo Aquatics Centre. Earlier Wednesday, Kim also pulled out of the men's 200m freestyle heats. After finishing in last place in the 1,500m freestyle final Tuesday in Tokyo, Kim disclosed that he had been competing with a partially torn labrum and rotator cuff in his left shoulder. He had helped South Korea win bronze in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay on Monday. Kim has been South Korea's top mid-distance swimmer. The 25-year-old won the world title and the Olympic bronze medal in the 400m freestyle in 2024, and added a world bronze medal in that same distance in 2025. At the 2023 Asian Games, Kim was the only South Korean swimmer to win three gold medals — winning the 400m freestyle, 800m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relay titles. After Tuesday's race, Kim said he hoped to compete
