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.

NOTE: Two points for a win, one point for overtime
loss. The top four teams in each division will qualify for
playoffs under this season’s temporary realignment.
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.

Southern Hills to replace Trump National

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.
