News
Erin Routliffe has advanced to the semifinals at the Australian Open now in both women’s doubles and mixed doubles. It’s second time that she has reached the semifinals in both draws at a grand slam event (also did so at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships).
Nedya Sawan inked her first professional contract today, as she is the latest signee of the Vancouver Rise FC of the Northern Super League, a new professional soccer league launching in Canada in April.
Justin Thomas sent a letter to his fellow PGA Tour members encouraging player participation in broadcasts to improve the broadcast product. Elsewhere, Thomas also made his debut in The Golf League, where his Atlanta Drive GC defeated New York Golf Club 4-0.
