Florida basketball coach Todd Golden, a former University of San Francisco head coach, has signed a contract extension that raises his annual salary to $6 million, a lucrative bump nearly a month after the Gators won the national championship.

Golden inked a six-year, $40.5 million extension Tuesday night, adding a year to his current deal and putting him under contract through the 2030-31 season. The former Saint Mary’s guard signed a two-year extension in March 2024 that increased his average salary to $4.1 million annually.

His latest raise puts Golden nearly on par with football coach Billy Napier, who is scheduled to make $7.4 million in 2025.

Golden’s deal pays $6 million a year (beginning April 16, 2025), with a $300,000 pay hike every year after.

Golden, once an assistant under Bruce Pearl at Auburn who got his first head coaching job at San Francisco in 2019, led the Gators finished 36-4 in his third season in Gainesville, which ended with a win over Houston to clinch the program’s third national title.

OLYMPICS

Former Archbishop Mitty High of San Jose star Kerri Walsh Jennings, a three-time Olympic gold medalist who’s the most decorated beach volleyball player in the sport’s history, was among those selected for induction into the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame, Class of 2025.

Seven-time gold-medal sprinter Allyson Felix, four-time Olympic tennis champion Serena Williams and Mike Krzyzewski, who coached the U.S. to three basketball gold medals, are part of the class of 2025, which will be inducted at a ceremony in Colorado Springs on July 12.

Gymnastics champion Gabby Douglas, skiing’s Bode Miller and Nike founder Phil Knight are also in the group that will be inducted.

The Hall of Fame’s inaugural class was inducted in 1983, and this will be the first class inducted since 2022.

SOCCER

Inter Milan beat Barcelona 4-3 after extra time in another rollercoaster encounter to reach a second Champions League final in three years.

In the end it took extra time, two astonishing Barcelona fightbacks and 13 goals — some of them mesmerizing — to separate the two sides and see Inter prevail 7-6 on aggregate.

Substitute Davide Frattesi was the extra-time hero for Inter, firing home in the 99th minute to leave the Barcelona players slumped to the ground and all his Nerazzurri teammates — including those on the bench — racing to celebrate with him.

Inter, which lost the final to Manchester City in 2023, will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal in Munich on May 31. PSG beat Arsenal 1-0 in London last week in their first match.

WNBA

Caitlin Clark’s return to Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the WNBA preseason game between the Indiana Fever and Brazilian national team averaged 1.3 million viewers on ESPN, the network announced.

The average viewership for Sunday’s game was 13% higher than ESPN’s 2024 regular-season average for the WNBA.

The Fever-Brazil television audience peaked at 1.6 million, and the game drew a sellout crowd of 15,000 at Carver-Hawkeye, where the average paid ticket price on the resale market was $440.

Clark, starting her second season with the Fever, scored 16 points in Indiana’s 108-44 win.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Notre Dame and Clemson already know each other pretty well in football. That relationship will become even more familiar in the future after the two college football powers announced a 12-year home-and-home scheduling agreement that will pit them against each other annually from 2027 through 2038.

Clemson and Notre Dame were already scheduled to play in 2027, 2028, 2031, 2034 and 2037. Under the revamped schedule, the Tigers will host the games during odd-numbered years during that time frame, while the Fighting Irish will host the games in even-numbered years.

Scott Frost received a five-year, $22.1 million contract upon his return to UCF and will have it automatically extended a year if the Knights appear in a bowl this season.

UCF rehired Frost in December after Gus Malzahn left after four seasons to become offensive coordinator at Florida State. Frost had his first head coaching job at UCF in 2016, and a year later UCF went 13-0 with a conference championship, a bowl victory over Auburn and final ranking of No. 6.

Frost took over at Nebraska in 2018 and went 16-31 at his alma mater. He was out of coaching in 2023 and on the Los Angeles Rams’ staff in 2024.

GOLF

The PGA Championship released its field for next week at Quail Hollow, leaning heavily on the top 100 in the world ranking and giving full consideration to players from the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League.

The PGA Championship tries to get the top 100 in the world ranking, which won’t be the case because No. 24 Billy Horschel announced on social media he will have hip surgery next week.

The PGA Championship is May 15-18 at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C. Xander Schauffele is the defending champion and Justin Thomas is the last PGA Championship winner at Quail Hollow in 2017.
