Global music superstar The Weeknd will play the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show. The performance will be the second under the partnership between the NFL and entertainment company Roc Nation, which was founded by Jay-Z. 

The parties began a multi-year agreement in 2019 to “enhance the NFL’s live game experiences,” which includes advising the league on the selection of artists for major performances. Shakira and Jennifer Lopez co-headlined last season’s Super Bowl performance, the first co-produced by Roc Nation.

Roc Nation is also helping amplify the NFL’s social justice efforts. That includes the NFL’s Inspire Change program, which in partnership with the NFL Players Association is committing $250 million to social justice causes. Alicia Keys, a Roc Nation client, has also joined with the NFL to launch a $1 billion endowment for Black-owned businesses and communities.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum will appear on-site at ESPN’s headquarters to announce picks in the 2020 NBA Draft on Nov. 18, while up to 60 draftees will appear virtually.

ESPN reporter Malika Andrews, widely lauded for her work as a reporter inside the league’s restarted season bubble, will make her debut as the draft telecast reporter. Rece Davis will return to host ESPN’s coverage alongside a panel of analysts including Jay Bilas, Jay Williams and Mike Schmitz. NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski will once again appear to provide news updates.

Commentary and vignettes will focus on the “individual stories of top players.” In April, ESPN drew criticism for focusing on NFL prospects’ personal trauma when introducing them during the 2020 NFL Draft, but later said that showing those obstacles was part of telling the “human side” of their stories.

Amid round one of the Masters Tournament, HBO dropped the trailer for its upcoming original Tiger Woods documentary “TIGER,” set to premier in January 2021. The film will document Wood’s rise, freefall and comeback. 

The two-part doc uses Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian’s best-selling book “Tiger Woods” as a resource. It includes never-before-seen footage and interviews with “those who know Tiger best,” including his former caddy and close friend Steve Williams, and — for the first time speaking publicly — Rachel Uchitel, the woman at the center of Woods’ 2009 sex scandal.

Woods, the defending Masters champion, is four-under par through the first round. He’s in a five-way tie for fourth place, three shots behind leader Paul Casey.
