-

The Atlanta Drive GC emerged victorious at the first-ever TGL SoFi Cup on Tuesday evening. They defeated the New York Golf Club with a score of 4-3 during the second game of a best-of-three final series broadcasted on ESPN. Trailing initially by 3-0 through ten holes, they made an impressive comeback thanks to strong hammer gameplay and a remarkable shot from Billy Horschel.

On the 14th hole, when New York was holding onto a narrow 3-2 advantage against Rickie Fowler, Horschel made an impressive putt from over 17 feet above the green. Overcome with raw emotion, he tossed his cap and club aside before letting out a loud cry to the spectators.

Following the hole, Horschel addressed the crowd. ESPN's Marty Smith and described what went through his mind during and after the putt.

“I felt just right, and I could tell it looked great. About two feet from the hole, I realized it was going in. Then everything went dark,” Horschel shared with Smith. “I probably used some expletives; maybe even mentioned that this place feels like home now. It’s been such a blast. Loving every moment with this guy. Absolutely amazing! We have a one-point advantage with only one more hole left. So much excitement.”

It truly was. TGL couldn't have hoped for a more perfect time to conclude its inaugural season.

The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
