Associated Press photographers captured the emotions of Masters golf, Stefanos Tsitsipas lifting the tennis trophy at Monte Carlo, and the end of a 120-year wait by Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen for its first Bundesliga title. Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, earned his second green jacket in three years at Augusta National on Sunday, and he wasn’t the only player to be the focus of great images this past week.
Tsitsipas was in tears after he beat Casper Ruud in Monaco for his first title of 2024 and biggest tournament victory in two years. Led by coach Xabi Alonso in his debut season, Leverkusen won the German league for the first time on Sunday and ended its rivals’ century-long jibes about the club’s lack of silverware. There’s no more “Neverkusen” to make fun of.
The selection of photos was curated by Milan-based staff photographer Antonio Calanni. The AP sports division covers a wide range of sports events and activities, capturing the emotions and highlights of each competition. From golf tournaments to tennis matches and soccer championships, AP photographers bring the intensity and excitement of sports to life through their images. Each photo tells a story and captures a moment in time that is sure to resonate with sports fans around the world. Visit the AP sports website for more coverage and updates on the latest sports news.
