8 h. ago What the Rocket Classic reveals about the state of the PGA Tour in 2025

The 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic returns to Detroit Golf Club this week, offering more than just a summer stop on the PGA Tour calendar. In just seven years, the tournament has developed into an invaluable barometer for professional golf, where it stands, how it’s changing, and what lies ahead. Founded in 2019 as the replacement for the Quicken Loans National, the Rocket Classic is a relatively new event. But its host venue carries history. Detroit Golf Club was founded in 1899, and the North Course, where the tournament is held, is a classic Donald Ross design. Flat, tree-lined, and traditional in layout, it rewards accuracy off the tee and smart course management over raw distance.

41 h. ago KNUST and the Death of Applied Knowledge: A National Embarrassment in Full View

Whenever I drive through some of our public universities, particularly those outside Accra, I am struck by a disturbing contradiction: these institutions with large populations, located in regions rich in raw materials and surrounded by skilled artisans and small-scale industries, remain visibly underdeveloped, deprived, and utterly dependent. They do not produce much for themselves, and worse, they do not seem to see the need to. Let us take the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana’s premier institution for science, technology, and innovation. With over 85,000 students, sprawling departments in engineering, applied sciences, art, agriculture, and architecture, and a location in the craft and industry-rich Ashanti region, one would expect this university to be a hotbed of functional innovation, a self-sustaining ecosystem, and a driver of local economic transformation.
