This past week, Associated Press photographers captured some truly powerful and emotional moments in the world of sports. 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. In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen finally clinched their first Bundesliga title after a wait of 120 years, led by coach Xabi Alonso in his debut season.
One of the highlights of the week was Scheffler’s victory at Augusta National, where he secured his second green jacket in three years and became the world’s top-ranked golfer. Tsitsipas also made headlines for his emotional win over Casper Ruud in Monaco, earning his first title of 2024 and his biggest tournament victory in two years. Meanwhile, Leverkusen’s triumph in the German league put an end to decades of criticism and jokes about the club’s lack of silverware, with the era of “Neverkusen” officially coming to an end.
The selection of photos capturing these unforgettable moments was curated by Milan-based staff photographer Antonio Calanni, showcasing the power and emotion of sports. To see more highlights from the world of sports, visit the AP sports page at https://apnews.com/sports.
