SPORTS BRIEFING FOOTBALL QB Brown returning to Ducks — Both of Oregon’s top two quarterbacks will return this offseason. Anthony Brown, who transferred to UO from Boston College last spring and took a bigger role in the Pac-12 Championship Game and Fi- esta Bowl, announced he’s returning to the Ducks on Sunday. Brown was 15 of 23 for 164 yards and two touchdowns and had seven carries for 40 yards with two touchdowns and a fumble in the final two games for Oregon last season. Follow- ing the Fiesta Bowl, when Brown went 12 of 19 for 147 yards and had four carries for 36 yards and two scores and a fumble, his private QB coach, Quincy Avery, intimated Brown would be pursuing options to play elsewhere in 2021. That appears to be off, at least for the spring, as Brown will compete with re- turning starter Tyler Shough for the starting job. Oregon Ducks assistant Heyward leaving the program — Oregon assistant Keith Heyward, who was passed over for the defensive coordinator position for the second time last week, announced on Monday that he is leaving the program. Heyward, a former Oregon State defensive back, spent the past four seasons coaching the Ducks’ safeties. The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman reported Heyward, who previously worked with Cal- ifornia coach Justin Wilcox at USC and Washington, is likely headed to Berkeley to join the Bears. The move would be an in- triguing North Division assistants swap. Oregon coach Mario Cristobal is hiring Cal defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter to replace Andy Avalos, who left to become Boise State’s head coach. Heyward was considered for the defensive coordinator position following the 2018 season but Cristobal hired Avalos. NFL Playoffs SUPER BOWL Sunday, Feb. 7 at Tampa, Fla.

Top Florida official makes pitch for Tokyo Olympics to be moved to Sunshine State — Florida’s chief finan- cial officer wants the Olympics to be moved from Tokyo to the Sunshine State, promoting Florida’s willingness to host marquee sporting events during the pandemic. CFO Jimmy Patronis sent a letter Monday to the International Olym- pic Committee touting Florida as an ideal place to hold the Olympics. He referenced reports that the Japanese govern- ment has concluded the Summer Olympics will need to be canceled because of coronavirus concerns. The Japanese gov- ernment, though, has called reports that it is considering can- celing the games “categorically untrue.” SOCCER MLS to open season on April 3; title game set for Dec. 11 — Major League Soccer will open the next season on April 3 and conclude with the MLS Cup title game on Dec. 11. Teams will be allowed to start preseason camps on Feb. 22. But the an- nouncement Monday came amid ongoing uncertainty about the pandemic and whether fans will be able to attend games, es- pecially at the start of the season. As a result, the league has in- voked the agreement’s “force majeure” clause to reopen negoti- ations on a collective bargaining agreement. The league and the players’ union had two difficult negotiations a year ago — one in February before the start of the season, and a second in June when players took a pay cut in order to resume the 2020 season. —Bulletin wire reports MEGABUCKS The numbers drawn Monday night are: 5 16 18 24 39 40 The estimated jackpot is now $1.1 million.

GOLF Southern Hills to replace Trump National BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer OLYMPICS Oregon Lottery results FOOTBALL The PGA Championship is headed back to Southern Hills next year, the Oklahoma course that gets its eighth ma- jor championship earlier than expected after the PGA of America cut ties with former President Donald Trump. The 2022 PGA Champion- ship originally was to be played at Trump National in Bed- minster, New Jersey. The PGA voted to terminate that con- tract, signed in 2014, after the Trump-fueled riot at he U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Congress was certifying the election vic- tory of President Joe Biden. Southern Hills was not scheduled to host the PGA Championship until 2030. The club was announced Monday as the 2021 host, which means it will get back- to-back big events starting with the Senior PGA Champion- ship this May. That was one of the reasons it was appealing to move up Southern Hills in the PGA Championship rotation. The PGA of America already has a staff on site in Tulsa, Oklahoma, along with an op- erations blueprint that won’t need much work. Kerry Haigh, the chief championships officer for the PGA of America, said the con- AP file Tiger Woods holds up the Wanamaker Trophy after winning the 89th PGA Golf Championship at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2007. The PGA Championship is returning to Southern Hills in 2022 to fill in for Trump National in New Jersey. tract with Southern Hills for 2022 replaces the one for 2030. He said Southern Hills would remain in the mix to also host in 2030. It is not unusual for the PGA Championship to re- turn to a course in eight years or fewer. “We have a Senior PGA Championship there this year. We also have a staff onsite for Southern Hills, who now will be able to stay on through for the PGA Championship,” Haigh said. “All of these are important factors when we’re less than 16 months away from playing. And we think South- ern Hills is a wonderful golf course. It always has been.” Southern Hills previously hosted the PGA Champion- ship in 1970, 1982, 1994 and most recently in 2007, when Tiger Woods won his 13th major — and fourth PGA ti- tle — with a two-shot victory over Woody Austin. Woods finished at 8-under 272, one of only five players who finished under par. The course recently went through a restoration project led by Gil Hanse, with greens and bunkering a big focus of his work on the original Perry Maxwell design. The club opened in 1935. The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, which led the House to impeach Trump for a sec- ond time, prompted the PGA of America board to review its contract and it ultimately voted to leave Trump National. It was the second time since Trump entered politics that the PGA of America left one of his courses. They mutually agreed to cancel the PGA Grand Slam of Golf at Trump National LA in 2015 after Trump an- nounced his candidacy. Since the decision to leave Trump National in 2022, Haigh said the PGA received invitations from about 30 golf clubs wanting to host the PGA Championship next year. The temperature was in the low 100s Fahrenheit during the last PGA Championship at Southern Hills when it was held in August. That will no longer be an issue now that the century-old major has moved to May. Southern Hills previously hosted U.S. Opens in 1958, 1977 and in 2001. The PGA Championship this year will be at Kiawah Is- land in South Carolina, which last hosted the major in 2012 when Rory McIlroy won by eight shots. After Southern Hills, it goes to Oak Hill in Rochester, New York.
