MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill and his family are safe after fire rescue crews responded to a large fire at his South Florida home Wednesday afternoon.

The house, which is located in Southwest Ranches about 30 miles northwest of Miami, was shown Wednesday afternoon on local station WSVN 7 News with a large amount of black smoke coming out of the roof as firefighters doused it with water.

No injuries have been reported. Hill had been at Dolphins practice as Miami prepares for its regular-season finale against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night, but he left after being told about the fire.

SCHEFFLER VOTED PGA POTY

KAPALUA, Hawaii. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is the PGA Tour player of the year in a close vote over Masters champion Jon Rahm. Scheffler is the first back-to-back winner of the award since Tiger Woods in 2006 and 2007.

But this one will raise questions about whether players who voted penalized Rahm for joining LIV Golf.

Scheffler had a staggering statistical year. He played so well that he didn’t finish out of the top 12 until July.

His two wins were The Players Championship and the Phoenix Open. But Rahm won four times, including the Masters. He defected in the middle of the two-week voting period.

MCILROY EASES UP ON LIV GOLF

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Rory McIlroy is softening his stance against Saudi-funded LIV Golf.

He says on the “Stick to Football” podcast that he has accepted that LIV is part of golf now.

McIlroy also says he has been to judgmental about players leaving. McIlroy has been the harshest critic of LIV Golf since it began in June 2022. Jon Rahm is the latest to defect.

McIlroy says it was a smart business decision by the Masters champion. He says he suspects Rahm thinks the two sides will get together.

McIlroy also suggested he helped instigate the PGA Tour meeting with the Saudis.

MAHOMES SITTING OUT FINALE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes will sit out the Chiefs’ regular-season finale against the Chargers on Sunday in Los Angeles.

The Chiefs clinched their eighth straight AFC West title and the No. 3 seed in the playoffs with last week’s 25-17 win over the Bengals.

Veteran backup Blaine Gabbert will start for Kansas City and Chris Oladokun will back him up. Chiefs coach Andy Reid declined to say whether other starters, such as tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones, will play against the Chargers.
