With a $1.6 million winner's check, the 29-year-old surpassed $101 million in career on-course earnings, joining fellow golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in golf's exclusive $100 million club.
The Council, chaired by Wade, aims to provide young players with financial advice to help them navigate their short careers. The initiative stems from the unpredictable nature of a professional sports career, with the majority of professional athletes announcing their retirement before they turn 35 and less than 2% of NCAA athletes turning professional.
Between March 1 and March 15, the BNP Paribas Open, also known as the Indian Wells Open, is being held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California. In recent years, the premier sporting event has become as much about fashion and status as it is about sports.
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.
The half-acre property, which counts fellow golfer Tiger Woods as another former owner, came up for sale late last year for $5.6 million. More recently, Multiple Listing Service records show it was listed for $4.975 million. Watson bought the house in 2013 and commissioned a complete remodel of the two-story during his ownership.
The idea of it just excites me so much. I want the place to be pumping. I want it to be an event when people come here. I want do the unthinkable and get to the Premier League. Everyone here is hard-working and I want to be the man who affects things on the pitch as well as off the pitch.
It's obviously going to take time. We need to improve the team, have some additions to really take it to another level. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure we succeed. I'm just ready to get started.

He's teaching me about the grain and how it works. I mean, I kind of knew common sense about the grain, but I think now that I'm in the 2.8 range, knowing the grain will probably get me down to - my goal is to get to scratch.
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.
Nearly two-thirds (63%) of Super Bowl ads featured one or more celebrity talents this year, according to data from TV measurement company iSpot. Back in 2011, only around a quarter of ads included an A-lister, but a reliance on Hollywood names has been typical of Big Game ads since the start of this decade. It's part of a broader pattern. The "built-in affinity" a top name can bring means it's "an easy place to go," said Mike Hayward, chief creative officer at agency Copacino Fujikado.
The corner of Sunset Blvd. and Alpine Drive became a traffic nightmare. Tour buses made it a stop. Tourists and locals alike milled about, gawked and took pictures. The neighbors were incensed. The "renovation" performed by Sheik Mohammed al Fassi, then 28, and his wife made them the talk of the town.
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.
Leiweke, who is in his final weeks as president and chief executive of Toronto-based Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, paid $5.815 million for the Spanish Colonial Revival-style home, with negotiated furnishings pushing that total to $6,014,525.
