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.
In every CBA negotiation, the goal of the league and teams is to divide the players. These negotiations are no different. We remain united and focused on delivering a transformational CBA for all members of this Union, and are committed to negotiating for as long as it takes.
If PGA National rewards touch, patience and precision over power, that's exactly Bezuidenhout's lane. He's one of the better short-game players in the field, ranked fourth in strokes gained around the green and second best in the field in putting, with strong Bermuda splits to back it up. His strength is his ability to convert mid-range putts and save par when greens are misses.
Akshay Bhatia did enough early with six birdies in seven holes that carried him to a 4-under 68 and a two-shot lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. But the worst might still be to come. Starting times were moved up one hour for the final round with a forecast of big wind and rain, a time for players to hang on by the seat of their rain pants.
Brooks Koepka applied for reinstatement of his PGA Tour membership Friday, sources told ESPN, the first step in the five-time major champion's potential return to the tour. Koepka, 35, left the LIV Golf League on Dec. 23 with one year left on his contract with the Saudi Arabian-financed breakaway circuit. It wasn't immediately clear when Koepka, a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour, will be permitted to return. He didn't renew his membership before the 2022-23 season, sources previously told ESPN.
Look, I'd love to have seven majors instead of five, that sounds great," McIlroy said. "I think The Players is one of the best golf tournaments in the world. I don't think anyone disputes that or argues that. I think from a player perspective, it's amazing. I think from an on-site fan experience, it's amazing. It's an amazing golf course, location, [and] venue.
In late November, the Washington Spirit and Gotham F.C. met at PayPal Park, in San Jose, California, for the National Women's Soccer League's championship game. During a scoreless first half, Trinity Rodman, the Spirit's star forward, sat on the sideline, but she was never far from mind. She'd been out for weeks recovering from an injured knee, but she had been cleared to play, and everyone knew that she had the skill and the daring to change the game in an instant.
Yuri Dzivielevski showed up big when it mattered most, stringing together back-to-back-to-back top-two finishes in the final three events of the 2026 PokerGO Tour Mixed Games to be crowned the series champion. The five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner from Brazil did not record a cash during the first four events of the festival. But he caught fire down the stretch, accumulating $745,350 and 534 PGT points on his way to hoisting the trophy.
