"There's a huge amount of very exclusive clubs all over the world. I would say that Augusta National is the most famous one," said Barnabas Carrega, CEO of GR8 Experience.

The Augusta Rule allows homeowners to rent their primary residence for 14 days or fewer in a calendar year, making the rental income completely tax-free. Homeowners do not need to report it or fill out a Schedule E, simplifying the process significantly.

Curling requires physical strength, muscle memory and the ability to adapt quickly. But it's also a sport that accommodates all ages.

Amber Lee from San Diego is competing in the Drive, Chip and Putt finals at Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters tournament.

I love this place. I love the tradition. There's nothing like driving down Magnolia Lane. I definitely drove down a little slower this year than I ever have, even the first time I was here in 2011.

Each year, the PGA Tour underpins prize funds on the DP World, formerly European, Tour. The fee is listed in the European Tour Group's accounts as an annual investment payment. In 2024, it rose by almost 10%, to 21.5m. The likelihood is the figure increased again in 2025. The mistake would be to regard this as chump change for the PGA Tour; the subsidy is turning heads within an organisation that now has private equity and the Strategic Sports Group to answer to.

McIlroy used pre-tournament media duties at the Dubai Desert Classic to assert that Hatton and Jon Rahm should settle their seven-figure penalties due to the European Tour Group for their participation in LIV Golf. McIlroy's sentiment felt especially notable because he was to spend the opening two rounds at the Emirates Club in Hatton's company. Yet there appeared no ill feeling whatsoever between the Ryder Cup teammates; as evident on the course and by what Hatton said later.
