Taylor is seeking his second PGA Tour victory. Phil Mickelson, who is in second place, has won five Pebble Beach tournaments.

Taylor, 31, led after each round in his second PGA Tour victory.

When it's miserable outside, you can still hit shots inside the recently opened Lounge by Topgolf in Kirkland, where plenty of virtual golf opportunities await.

A satirical look back at some of the quirkiest, most eyebrow-raising things that happened in the sports world this week.

SURREY, England (AP) — The BMW International Open in Germany and the Open de France golf tournaments were canceled on Friday because of the coronavirus pandemic, and the Scottish Open was postponed. Both the BMW International Open, which was to be played in Munich from June 25-28, and the Open de France, which was scheduled […]

About 14,800 initial unemployment claims by bartenders were filed from March 8 through April 25, which closely matches the number of people estimated to work as bartenders in Washington in the second quarter of 2020.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Byron Mallott, who served as Alaska’s lieutenant governor as part of a “unity ticket” with former Gov. Bill Walker, died Friday. He was 77. Walker called Mallott’s death a “huge shock.” He said they maintained a relationship after leaving office in 2018 and that his last communication with Mallott was about […]

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The Alaska Supreme Court rules an effort to recall Gov. Mike Dunleavy can move forward.

Prosecutor Adam Cornell likened the decision by Sheriff Adam Fortney to publicly question and refuse to enforce the stay-home order "to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater."

One of the hottest debates in the coronavirus pandemic is whether the malaria drugs promoted as possible treatments by President Donald Trump really work. But Americans don’t seem overly eager to help answer the question. Enrollment in several clinical trials of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine — including two by the University of Washington — has been […]

The defending champions are going back to the Women's World Cup title game. Two early goals from Christen Press and birthday girl Alex Morgan lifted the U.S. past England and into the championship match, where the Americans will face either the Netherlands or Sweden.

In an article for The Players' Tribune, Seattle Storm star Sue Bird weighed in on what it's like to witness her girlfriend get criticized on Twitter by President Donald Trump, on pay equity in women's athletics and more.

Alex Morgan celebrated her go-ahead goal with a cheeky tea-sipping celebration and Alyssa Naeher stopped a late penalty kick to send the United States into the final at the Women's World Cup with a 2-1 victory over England on Tuesday.

A hamstring injury kept Megan Rapinoe on the sidelines of the United States' semifinal win over England. But it didn't stop her from pouring off the bench with the other substitutes to congratulate their teammates.

Still facing a backlash over saying she wouldn't visit the White House if the United States wins the World Cup, soccer star Megan Rapinoe said Wednesday that she considers herself a proud American.

Megan Rapinoe considers Sunday to be the final insult. The Women's World Cup final will have to compete with two others men's finals, the Copa America and the CONCACAF Gold Cup. "It's ridiculous, and disappointing, to be honest," Rapinoe said.

It has been 20 years since that final, and Sunday the United States will seek its fourth World Cup title. The meaning of Brandi Chastain’s viral celebration has continued to evolve, though, even for Chastain.

The USWNT is on the verge of winning another Women's World Cup, and they've gotten to the final with a brash confidence that they shouldn't need to apologize for. If you're offended, the operative phrase is: "Wah, wah, wah."

The U.S. and Netherlands entered halftime scoreless, but it wouldn't stay that way for long. Megan Rapinoe struck first on a penalty kick to open the first lead of the game and 24-year-old Rose Lavelle added a second goal to clinch the Americans' second straight World Cup title.

The United States won its record fourth Women's World Cup title and second in a row, beating the Netherlands 2-0 Sunday when Megan Rapinoe converted a penalty kick in the second half and Rose Lavelle added a goal.

By the 8 a.m. kickoff, Rhein Haus in Capitol Hill was brought to standing-room only with an estimated 850-person crowd, the largest the restaurant has ever seen for a soccer game, general manager Jeremy Walcott said.

Megan Rapinoe charmed fans with her waggish personality and utter lack of a rhetorical filter; drew the ire of the President on social media; antagonized officials in FIFA and her own federation, both of whom she has deemed not sufficiently interested in helping the women’s game grow.

Women's soccer engages the U.S. every four years, then disappears for most fans. In the wake of the Americans' record-setting fourth World Cup title Sunday, the hard part remains: the weekly work of boosting the National Women's Soccer League, where average attendance remains at a minor league level.

Two days after winning the United States’ second consecutive World Cup title and record fourth overall, co-captain Megan Rapinoe was ready to declare this year’s squad the best women’s soccer team ever. “With all respect to every team that’s come before, I just think the game has gone so much further than it ever has.”

Co-captain Megan Rapinoe and her teammates shared a float with Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Soccer Federation president Carlos Cordeiro. Rapinoe struck her now-famous victory pose, took a swig of Champagne and handed the bottle to a fan.

“This is my charge to everyone: We have to be better, we have to love more and hate less. Listen more and talk less. It is our responsibility to make this world a better place,” soccer star Megan Rapinoe told the crowd gathered for the parade in New York.

Going forward, the big question is whether the NWSL, and professional women's sports in general, can capitalize on the momentum created by the U.S. women's national team's success. Doing so would require an investment from more than just the athletes. “I think it’s time that everyone else steps up,” Rapinoe said.

The new rules prohibit marijuana products featuring “a name, design or brand” that is similar to something you’d see in a candy or toy shop. But they aren’t as sweeping as the emergency ban swiftly approved in late 2018 that resulted in a backlash from businesses.

The decade has seen some powerful movements — people organizing around shared causes to create change. Just as the civil rights movement fought back against racist segregation, disenfranchisement and lynchings of Black people, the 2010s have seen people come together to address some of the most pressing social issues of our time.

The U.S. marijuana business has the potential to grow into a global industry, challenging Canadian cannabis growers.

Companies have unleashed hundreds of CBD pet health products accompanied by glowing customer testimonials claiming the cannabis derivative produced calmer, quieter and pain-free dogs and cats. But some of these products are all bark and no bite. “You’d be astounded by the analysis we’ve seen of products on the shelf with virtually no CBD in […]

NEW YORK (AP) — A year ago, marijuana legalization looked like it was on a roll in the Northeast — it had already passed in three of the region’s states and was a priority for governors in three more, including the populous New York. Now, after legislative efforts stalled and a vaping sickness stirred new […]

Member worked March 7 match against Columbus at CenturyLink Field. Team says no other cases within Sounders FC have been identified.

Sounders players learned Thursday that soccer will not resume until at least May due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19. Here's how Stefan Frei and others are adapting to life without soccer.

In an effort to help local communities as they struggle with the adverse impacts brought on by the spread of the novel coronavirus, Seattle Sounders FC announced Wednesday that the club is launching a relief fund, with an initial investment of $500,000 from Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer and his family.

The event center between CenturyLink Field and T-Mobile Park — home in normal times to concerts, dog shows and boat shows — will soon become a field hospital as Seattle's health care system girds for a continued flood of coronavirus patients.

GM Garth Lagerwey’s message to antsy soccer fans who are yearning to see the Sounders back in action is that there’s a link between safe health practices and the resumption of the season.

Major League Soccer announced Tuesday it's "extremely unlikely" to resume play in May and play its full 2020 season.

As virus fears grew, public officials and sports execs debated health risks — and PR messages — but let 33,000 into a March 7 Sounders match. At what cost?

On Wednesdays, the Sounders gather via a Zoom meeting to chat and keep the camaraderie going. Other than that, these guys are waiting around just like us during the coronavirus pandemic.
