This past week, Associated Press photographers captured some powerful and emotional moments in the sports world. From Scottie Scheffler winning his second green jacket at the Masters golf tournament to Stefanos Tsitsipas lifting the tennis trophy at Monte Carlo, there were plenty of unforgettable images to be seen.
One of the highlights of the week was Scheffler’s victory at Augusta National, where he secured his second green jacket in three years as the world’s top-ranked golfer. Meanwhile, Tsitsipas garnered attention for his emotional win over Casper Ruud in Monaco, earning his first title of 2024 and his biggest tournament victory in two years.
In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen finally put an end to decades of criticism and jokes about their lack of silverware as they clinched their first Bundesliga title under coach Xabi Alonso in his debut season. This triumph marked the end of the “Neverkusen” era for the club.
