TEAM USA FIT TO PLAY:
Jozy Altidore and Oguchi Onyewu are fit enough to play in the United States' World Cup opener against England this weekend should U.S. coach Bob Bradley decide to use them. Altidore resumed full practice Tuesday, six days after the forward sprained his right ankle in practice. Despite tearing his left patellar tendon Oct. 14, Oguchi Onyewu is also responding well to injury. "The fitness program that we put our players through to prepare for the World Cup I think has every player in our 23 ready to play 90 minutes if asked. It's a credit to (assistant coach) Pierre Barrieu and it's a credit to the players, because they worked incredibly hard."

COMMITMENT TO CHARITY:
Tiger Woods plans to leave the country next month, to play in a charity pro-am in Ireland July 5-6. The 36-hole pro-am at Adare Manor, a former Irish Open venue, takes place the week before the British Open at St. Andrews. More important than a tune-up for St. Andrews, Woods wrote that he understands "the importance and necessity of raising funds to help deserving individuals."

Speaking at a basketball camp Tuesday, Amare Stoudemire said he will opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent if the team doesn't sign him to a new deal by June 30th. Stoudemire says he deserves a max contract, which could be up to six years, $127 million if he re-signs with the Suns.
