7 d. ago Tommy Fleetwood delivers feelgood factor in ending his US drought | Sean Ingle

One of the few universally popular male sports stars, the Briton’s first win in 164 PGA Tour attempts is perhaps golf’s brightest story of 2025Some of us have always known that deep inside Tommy Fleetwood lurked a cold-blooded winner. Back in the late 90s I was working at the golf magazine Fore! when the deputy editor Simon Caney returned to the office after being thrashed 6&5 by a tiny eight-year-old who had shown him no mercy. His name? Tommy Fleetwood. Now the rest of the world knows that killer instinct exists, too.But Fleetwood’s FedEx Cup victory, his first in 164 events on the PGA Tour, also reinforced something else. Everyone loves Tommy. Right. Left. Maga. Liberal. Whatever. It doesn’t matter.

2 w. ago LA28 to break longstanding tradition with corporate venue names at Games

LA28 to allow corporate names on competition venuesComcast, Honda first naming partners in Games historyMove marks break from Olympics’ clean venue traditionFor the first time in Olympic and Paralympic history, competition venues will carry corporate names, breaking from the longstanding “clean venue” tradition.That policy, also enforced at other mega-events like the Fifa World Cup, requires stadiums and arenas to strip or cover all non-official sponsor branding, including naming rights signage. The aim is to protect the exclusivity of global partners who pay millions for official status. In past events, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium became “Arsenal Stadium” for Uefa matches, and New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium will be known as “New York New Jersey Stadium” during the 2026 World Cup.
