Kevin Hart said he’s been bitten by the golf bug. The award-winning actor and comedian make his debut at the historic Augusta National Golf Club on Wednesday for the annual Par 3 contest.

Held annually on the eve of the Masters, the contest draws competitors’ families — and occasionally celebrities like Hart — for a rare chance to caddie or even take a swing on the prestigious course. This year Hart served as two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie.

While the pairing of a native Texan and golf pro’s with a Hollywood star may have seemed unlikley, the duo appeared to quickly form a connection at Augusta, with DeChambeau offering Hart some tips on the course.

When asked by ESPN about his goal for the day, Hart made it clear that he wanted “to be the best caddie that’s every caddied.”

“I am not Kevin Hart the global superstar today. Please get that out of your mental. Not the movie star, the standup comedian that everybody knows around the world. Throw it in the bag. Today, I am Bryson’s caddie.”

DeChambeau then revealed he first met Hart while the comedian was diving deeper into golf — a connection that eventually landed them as teammates at one of the sport’s most iconic courses.

“We filmed a video a couple of months ago called ‘Caddie Talk,’ just Kevin and me, as he was getting into golf. I said, ‘Let’s do something fun together,’ so I showed him around the course. He turned into a pretty good caddie — and now he’s got the job here at the Par 3 Contest.”

But Hart ended up doing more than what is typical of a caddie on Wednesday. When he arrived at the No. 9 hole, the comedian grabbed one of DeChambeau’s irons, stepped up to the ball and boasted he would need just one shot.

“I was built for this,” Hart declared.

However, he wound up swinging and the ball falling into the water. The broadcaster gave Hart a slight reprieve pointing to the actor’s lack of golf experience and the difficulty of making a good swing while wearing caddie attire. “That’s alright, he just started golf seven months ago, golf’s a tough game,” the announcer noted. “I will give him the benefit of the doubt, it is kind of tough to swing in the caddie suit (and) with no glove.”

EXCLUSIVE: A top Republican moved Thursday to block asylum claims from foreigners who return to their home countries, introducing legislation after family members of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani were found to be living in Los Angeles.

Soleimani’s niece, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, and her daughter were arrested by ICE last weekend, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted Afshar’s “outspoken support [for] the Iranian regime” and DHS reporting that her 2019 asylum claim was fraudulent, due in part to several trips back to the country she purported to flee.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., who is also running for the GOP nomination for governor of the Badger State, echoed DHS’ characterization of Afshar’s asylum claim as fraudulent in introducing the SAFER Act, or the “Stopping Asylum Fraudsters Enforcement and Removal Act.”

Tiffany said the bill ensures the federal asylum system is reserved only for foreigners with legitimate claims of persecution.

The secretary of Homeland Security and the attorney general would be prohibited from granting asylum to anyone who returns to their home country, while also being empowered to terminate asylum status and denaturalize asylees who voluntarily return while living in the U.S.

“If someone claims they are fleeing danger and seeking asylum in the U.S., they should not be turning around and vacationing in the very country they said they had to escape,” Tiffany told Fox News Digital.

“Those who are truly fleeing danger don’t book round-trip tickets back to it.”

Afshar was granted asylum in 2019 during the first Trump administration and was later given a Green Card by the Biden administration, despite returning to Iran at least four times in the interim.

Under the bill, an asylee could legally return to their home country without risk of federal consequences only if the State Department certifies that a legitimate transfer of power has occurred and the original threat prompting that person’s asylum claim has been resolved.

In the case that a migrant or asylee has no nationality, their claim will be analyzed based on their most recent “habitual residence.”

“The SAFER Act stops asylum fraudsters from exploiting the system and ensures they are removed from the United States,” Tiffany said.

Earlier this month, the State Department terminated the legal status of Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, the daughter of a former senior Iranian official, and her husband.

Both are no longer in the U.S. and are barred from reentry.

The Colorado Rockies finished with the MLB’s worst record in 2025. The team fell to 2-5 early in the 2026 season after a 10-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.

The franchise has never won an NL West title or a World Series. The Rockies haven’t reached the postseason since 2018, when they clinched a wild-card berth. Complicating any hopes of a turnaround, the Rockies compete in a division with the back-to-back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite the odds stacked against them, one of the Rockies’ emerging stars said he is eager to turn things around in Colorado and end the team’s playoff drought.

Mickey Moniak, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, said he would go as far as amputating a body part if it guaranteed the Rockies advanced to the postseason.

The Colorado outfielder was sidelined for six of the Rockies’ first seven games this season with a sprained right ring finger. But if the team were in position for a playoff push, his availability likely would have been different. “Oh, I would have cut it off,” Moniak told reporters.

Moniak debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2020 before being traded to the Los Angeles Angels in 2022. After appearing in 124 games in 2024, he signed with the Rockies the following year. He had a standout 2025 campaign, hitting a career-best 24 home runs and recording 68 RBIs. Moniak also stole nine bases.

The Rockies completed a three-game sweep of the Houston Astros on Wednesday, moving to 6-6 early in the 2026 season.
