Golf architect Kyle Phillips has broken ground on the course at the private Pandion Club in Estero, Florida. The new layout, intended to invoke the heathland courses of England with Lowcountry influences, is being built on the site of the former Old Corkscrew Golf Club that was closed earlier this year.
Phillips plans a par-71 course for Pandion Club, stretching to 7,220 with firm and fast playing conditions and a premium on strategic shotmaking. The new layout is scheduled to open in 2027 with membership capped at 280. The golf-only club will include a Lowcountry-inspired clubhouse and expansive practice facilities. The name Pandion is inspired by Pandion haliaetus, aka osprey.
The layout features sandy terrain that should promote Phillips' goals. Having built the top-ranked Kingsbarns Golf Links and Dundonald Links in Scotland and having studied courses around the world, Phillips said that heathland courses are situated on inland dunes, "like the ones we have in Florida."
Old Corkscrew and additional surrounding land was purchased in 2022 by The Hoffmann Family of Companies for $14.5 million, according to property records reported by the Naples Daily News. The Hoffmans purchased the Cottages at Old Corkscrew Golf Club for $4.5 million in a separate transaction. The Hoffmanns also own Old Collier Golf Club in Naples, as well as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Florida Everblades.
"Everything we do at Hoffmann Family of Companies, we want to provide a unique, best-in-class experience for our guests, and Pandion is going to be no exception" Geoff Hoffmann, CEO of HF Companies' private equity arm, said in a media release announcing the start of construction. "From the moment that you drive through our gates, you will know that you have arrived somewhere special. You are going to feel like you are in nature, and this is an escape. We knew that his experience presented an opportunity to preserve the natural landscape that was embedded on the site, and that's something we are going to build around."

A record-high 73% of US adults say that President Donald Trump hasn't paid enough attention to the country's most important problems, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with just 27% saying he's had the right priorities.
That comes amid increasingly bleak views of the Iran war, stagnating economic unhappiness, and broad discontent about Trump's approach to these challenges.
Roughly two-thirds of Americans think that Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions and that his military decisions in Iran have hurt the US. Around three-quarters say the president is not in touch with the problems ordinary Americans face in their daily lives.
Trump's overall approval rating, 34%, matches the career low he last saw at the close of his first term, following the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Half of Americans now strongly disapprove of him, a high across his terms, with a record-low 15% strongly approving.
Within his own party, his approval rating has hit a new low at 78% among Republicans, and just 19% of Republicans say they're enthusiastic about the rest of his second term, down from 38% last spring.

It is a sign of the times ... literally. Advertisements dominate our daily viewing more than we may realize. Depending on the day, the average person will see between 4,000 and 10,000 advertisements. Ohio State fans will be adding one more to that list, as it was announced earlier today that the Buckeye Athletic Department has entered into an agreement with Chase Bank and will wear a jersey patch on all of its uniforms. The reported agreement will give OSU another $17 million to play with per year.
As you can imagine, there were some passionate responses to seeing the scarlet and gray uniform become a walking billboard. Some see it as a necessary evil in today's name, image and likeness arms race, while others, holding tight to tradition, were not so forgiving. Some fan bases decided to get on their high horse only to find out their school made a similar deal just hours later. Love it or hate it, this is what collegiate sports are turning into.
As soon as the news broke, there was no shortage of opinions, and we're here to bring you some of the best.

While the Nasdaq composite slides below its 50-day moving average and the S&P 500 remains below that benchmark, Raymond James Financial (RJF) has popped onto the Investor's Business Daily Breakout Stocks Index. The financial services and ******* et management firm joins nine other companies in the broad banking and financial sectors.
Bank Of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), U.S. Bancorp (USB), UBS (UBS) and Bank Of New York Mellon (BNY) also made the list. In a sign of where the big Wall Street money is flowing, 10 out of the 25 names on the latest weekly update of the IBD Breakout Stocks Index hail from the banking and financial sectors.
An A+ Accumulation/Distribution Rating clearly shows institutional demand for shares of Raymond James. The score shows heavy buying of the stock by mutual funds and other large players over the last 13 weeks.
After posting single-digit top- and bottom-line growth in 2025, a projected return to double-digit earnings and sales growth this year and next provides one catalyst.
In the second quarter, Raymond James generated a 16% rise in revenue to $3.288 billion. Earnings spiked 44% to $3.14 per share. For the full year, Wall Street forecasts 12% sales growth to $15.7 billion and a 14% jump in earnings to $12.15 a share.

Coming off a walkthrough on Monday, the New England Patriots turned the tempo and intensity up a notch on Tuesday. The two-hour session behind Gillette Stadium was the most competitive so far this training camp, and quite an eventful one.
To recap the action, please head over to the latest version of our Patriots training camp notebook. For who caught our eye, please keep reading.
WR Kayshon Boutte: Boutte continues to make big plays on a daily basis. On Tuesday, his biggest moment came when he caught a deep touchdown from Drake Maye during 11-on-11s. Lining up in his typical spot as an X-receiver, the fourth-year man was able to get a step on safety Kevin Byard on a go route and showed some tremendous ball tracking and concentration skills to complete the over-the-shoulder catch for a score of 40-plus yards.
It was not Boutte's only reception on the day. He also caught a throw from Maye over the middle during 7-on-7s and added pair of catches when backup Tommy DeVito targeted him on out routes. It was an active day for a player who, through four practices, has been New England's most impactful wide receiver.
QB Drake Maye: The Patriots' quarterback started a bit slowly and his connection with A.J. Brown remains a work in progress, but he overall had a good day — an encouraging development after struggling with accuracy during the last full-speed practice on Sunday. Maye got into a rhythm during 11-on-11s, finding Boutte on his long touchdowns and also connecting with Hunter Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson for long completions.

Longtime ***** ociated Press sports writer Teresa Walker showed up for her 30th Tennessee ***** ans training camp on July 28 and announced on social media it would be her last.
Walker said she would retire in early 2027 after nearly 40 years as a journalist in Tennessee. She started working for the AP in 1989 from its Nashville office.
"I think I'm ready to rest a bit," Walker told The Tennessean. "I want to enjoy some life; I mean we love what we do, but there's a lot of stuff we don't do because we're busy doing what we do. I'm ready for some of that."
TITANS FOUNDATION IS IN PLACE: So the ***** ans have the foundation of their roster in place. Now what?
After graduating from the University of Tennessee, Walker worked for the Maryville Daily Times in her hometown for two and a half years before she was hired by the AP.

NFL rosters constantly evolve as general managers juggle injuries, try to improve position groups and add depth.
Teams enter training camp with a maximum of 90 players, who try to prove they belong on the 53-man active roster for the regular season.
But there are other roster designations that fill the NFL's transactions wire daily. What do they all mean?
Players are put on the reserve/injured list — commonly referred to as IR — when they have a football-related injury and need to miss at least a few weeks. Players on IR don't count against the active roster, but their salaries count against the cap.
If a player is placed on this list before the regular season begins, he could miss the entire season unless they are designated to return during the roster cutdown to 53 players after training camp. Teams can designate up to two such players to return.

Tony Romo has gone through several ups and downs as the lead NFL game **** yst at CBS Sports, and now he faces legal trouble as well.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is a polarizing figure on the air in CBS' No. 1 broadcast booth, and his reputation inside the walls of the company has fluctuated in his near-decade in the seat as well. Previous leadership infamously met with him for an intervention of sorts in 2022, shortly after he signed a whopping 10-year, $180 million contract with the network.
In the years since, he called another Super Bowl — in a mostly strong performance that was partly overshadowed when he stepped on partner Jim Nantz's call of the game-winning touchdown — but has continually made high-profile mistakes and drawn the ire of NFL diehards.
Still, in the aftermath of Romo's OWI (operating while intoxicated) arrest in Wisconsin last week, CBS management is seemingly standing behind him. A new report from the Daily Mail contains several quotes from executives at the company who backed Romo, one of whom told the British outlet that Romo "isn't going anywhere."
Some in the industry have speculated that the arrest could be an ideal excuse for CBS to part ways with Romo, who had seemingly been on thin ice at the network in the past. And with the caveat that this report — and other follow-ups — are coming mostly from tabloids, Romo appears to be safe.

Sarepta Therapeutics has found the leader it hopes can engineer a desperately needed turnaround.
The company on Monday announced that Michael Severino, an executive with leadership experience at startups as well as large drugmakers, will become its next CEO effective July 28. He'll replace longtime leader Doug Ingram, who in February announced plans to retire after a tumultuous run.
Severino has been working in the biopharmaceutical industry for more than two decades, including stops at AbbVie and Amgen. At AbbVie, Severino helped bring to market multiple drugs for psoriasis, arthritis, cancer and hepatitis C. At Amgen, he oversaw research and development as the company's senior vice president of development and corporate chief medical officer.
In 2022, Severino left AbbVie to run Tessera Therapeutics, a buzzy "gene writing" startup backed by Flagship Pioneering. Tessera recently brought its first drug prospect, a gene editing treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, into clinical testing. Last week, Tessera announced that Severino had joined a "commercial stage" biotech company and that former Merck & Co. executive Joseph Romanelli would serve as its next leader.

For the first time in nearly two decades, a new era has officially dawned at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. Appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show," veteran Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly revealed that the biggest storyline coming out of Latrobe isn't a specific position battle, but rather new head coach Mike McCarthy and the sweeping changes he has implemented in record time.
"It's the first time in 19 years now that we've seen something different up here at training camp," Kaboly noted, highlighting the stark contrast to the franchise's long-standing routines. "I say the story of camp so far would be Mike McCarthy and just how he has changed virtually everything about this organization and how they go about their business in such a small portion of time."
According to Kaboly, McCarthy's transition has been seamless, largely driven by his extensive experience as an NFL head coach. "His attention to detail is just off the charts here and that surprised a lot of people," Kaboly explained. "I think it surprised some of the players. It definitely surprised me."
Among the most noticeable shifts is a complete overhaul of daily practice structures, including a major departure from team tradition: eliminating live hitting during camp, a former staple of Steelers football.
"He's raring to go. Like I said, he has changed everything, from the start of practice to how they go about practice," Kaboly shared. "They're not going to hit at all during training camp. But how McCarthy has just taken over, you can tell that he's a 16-year veteran in this business of how quickly he's been able to get up to speed."

Ryder System is seeing more opportunities surface for its dedicated transportation solutions segment as capacity continues to exit the market, executives shared during the company's Q2 earnings call held July 23.
Operating revenue for the segment fell 3% year over year in Q2, but Ryder expects its fleet count to turn positive in Q4 or early 2027 as sales activity strengthens.
"Our pipelines are at record levels for us right now," CEO John Diez said during the call. "We've seen a number of opportunities come back where customers have been running their transportation with for-hire carriers, and they're looking for dedicated capacity and coming back to us."
Ryder's dedicated transportation solutions business — which provides customers with dedicated fleets, drivers and transportation services under longer-term contracts — is seeing demand improve although the recovery has yet to translate into fleet growth.

Lamar Jackson shares the expectations of those who believe the Baltimore Ravens can contend for a Super Bowl. He is no longer interested in discussing those projections without results. Baltimore entered last season widely viewed as one of the NFL's most talented teams. The Ravens instead finished 8-9 and missed the postseason, providing Jackson with a direct response to another offseason of championship predictions.
"We were just 8-9," Jackson said on "The Lounge" podcast. "We were talking about it, but we didn't produce. So why talk about it? We've got to be about it."
Jackson still expects Baltimore to compete for the championship. His focus has shifted toward the daily work required to reach February rather than the destination itself.
"It starts now," Jackson said. "It starts each and every week. It doesn't just happen in February. We have to get there first."
That process includes improvement in meetings, practice, recovery and situational football. Jackson pointed to a recent training-camp practice in which the Ravens began and finished poorly. He viewed it as an opportunity to correct a pattern that has hurt Baltimore during previous seasons. The lesson was reinforced by Baltimore's playoff loss to Tennessee following the 2019 regular season. The Ravens entered that game with a 14-2 record and considerable expectations but fell behind early and never recovered.

Stockpiling physical cash may feel secure, but it's not the best idea. Saving money this way is a recipe for lost, damaged, or stolen cash. Not to mention, those stacks of bills won't earn any interest.
If you want to save, protect, and grow your money, keeping physical cash isn't the best way to do it. Instead, consider a secure and insured account that also allows your balance to earn interest.
Here are seven smart places to keep cash savings.
Checking accounts are common, in part because they're so practical. They make it easy to withdraw and deposit money, pay bills, and write checks. However, what makes them ideal for daily money management makes them a less optimal choice for saving money.

Vinicius Junior will not return to Real Madrid training this week as uncertainty over his long-term future continues, with fresh contract talks scheduled in the coming days.
The Daily Mail reports the Brazil international's delayed return comes against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations over a new deal at the Santiago Bernabéu. Vinicius has entered the final year of his current contract, increasing speculation over his future despite Madrid's determination to retain one of their biggest stars.
Sky Sports News reported on Monday that Real Madrid are due to hold further discussions with the winger's representatives this week as they attempt to reach an agreement over fresh terms. The club remain optimistic of extending his stay, with manager José Mourinho keen to keep the 26-year-old at the heart of his project.
Arsenal are monitoring the situation closely as they explore options to strengthen the left side of their attack. The Premier League champions admire Vinicius, but no club-to-club talks have taken place and there is no indication that a formal approach is imminent.
Real Madrid's priority remains securing a contract renewal rather than entertaining offers. However, with Vinicius now inside the final 12 months of his deal, the Spanish giants could face a difficult decision if negotiations fail to produce a breakthrough. Rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer, they may eventually have to consider offers.

Liverpool's search for attacking reinforcements continues to dominate the transfer conversation, yet not every reported target has generated universal excitement. During the latest Media Matters podcast for Anfield Index, host Dave Davis was joined by Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, with much of the discussion centred on Liverpool's pursuit of attacking options and whether Chelsea winger Pedro Neto represents the right fit.
While Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool's priority, the conversation also examined reports linking the Reds with Chelsea's Portugal international. Steele's verdict was measured and refreshingly direct.
Dave Davis referenced reports from Steele's Daily Mail colleague Kieran Gill, noting that Liverpool and Manchester City had both been credited with interest in Chelsea forward Pedro Neto. Davis pointed out that Chelsea "wouldn't allow the winger to leave cheap", especially in a market where the values attached to players such as Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande have continued to rise.
Steele confirmed the rumours have been circulating for some time.
"He is one of these names that keeps coming round and round."

Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola continues to gather momentum, with fresh developments suggesting the Paris Saint Germain forward has become the club's leading attacking target.
During the latest Media Matters podcast on Anfield Index, host Dave Davis was joined by Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele to discuss Liverpool's summer recruitment. While several attacking names were mentioned, the conversation repeatedly returned to Barcola and the belief that negotiations are beginning to move into a significant phase.
Steele's insight painted a picture of a transfer that still has obstacles to overcome, but one that Liverpool are working hard to make happen.
Dave Davis opened the discussion by highlighting the latest reports surrounding the PSG winger, noting that Barcola had informed the French champions he would not sign a new contract.
He also referenced Fabrizio Romano's update that the player is "very open and keen on Liverpool", while stressing that any breakthrough would still require patience.

There has long been an elephant in the Federal Open Market Committee's room as it tries to accomplish its mission of promoting maximum employment and stable prices. It's just much, much bigger now, and it's hard to ignore a $2 trillion elephant.
That's roughly how much the US government is issuing in new Treasury bills and bonds each year as the country's budget deficit swells. Its massive spending problem isn't new: The US has run a deficit for more than two decades, helped along by the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. But the economy is looking relatively healthy now, with inflation down from its decades-high record in 2022, shrinking to 3.5% in June. Weekly jobless claims just dropped to their lowest level since 1969. And yet the government is still issuing increasing amounts of debt. Economists say it's unsustainable.
Reducing the federal deficit may be Congress's job, but the central bank, led by Chair Kevin Warsh, has to contend with the economic effects of Treasury borrowing as it determines whether to hike, cut or hold interest rates steady. A committee that already is split on where interest rates should head will gather this week to decide what's next as a growing chorus of experts point to the problem the federal deficit poses.

Robbie Fowler has implored Liverpool to address one of their biggest 'problems' of recent years and ensure that there's adequate squad depth at Anfield by the end of the current transfer window.
The Reds went big in the marketplace a year ago by investing almost £450m in new signings, with much of that figure offset by player sales in a summer of massive upheaval in L4.

However, Andoni Iraola has inherited a squad shorn of several players through injuries of varying severity, although he'll gradually get his World Cup contingent back in the building over the next month.
Speaking from New York, where Liverpool play Wrexham in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday night, Fowler stressed the need for his former club to have sufficient competition for places so that every player is kept 'on their toes' and high standards are maintained on a daily basis.

Every ball counts. It is a slogan made for The Hundred competition - the pyrotechnic-charged, music-pumping version of cricket bankrolled by billionaires.
It is a world away from what you get on the fringes of the professional game, where first-class cricket meets well-manicured English village grounds that so often host second XI matches.
At least, you would think so.
For some, playing for the 'twos' is a tightrope cricketing existence and a last shot at trying to make it as a professional. Every ball really could count.
But unlike The Hundred, where top earner Harry Brook will pocket £465,000 for a month's work, some second XI players on trial runs with County Championship sides are rocking up to play in matches on the UK daily minimum wage of just over £100, with a little more on top for expenses.

Oh, the spoils of war.
The House of Representatives narrowly passed a record $1.15 trillion annual defense budget last week. It still needs Senate approval, but Washington's appetite for military spending is clear, and the US isn't alone. The EU, **** an and Middle Eastern nations have all been ramping up defense budgets, too, creating real sector opportunities for portfolios. Capturing them, however, takes more than pure defense-category investing: It requires knowing where the money actually flows.
