EVANSVILLE — How about that for a start to the Romain Cadillac Evansville City Tournament?
The opening weekend of the 97th edition didn't disappoint. A lot of low numbers (including a new individual round record) and a lot of interesting storylines heading into the final rounds at Rolling Hills and Evansville Country Club. The final tally is only 13 players under par, and the cutline rose to 5-over.
Sunday at Helfrich wasn't as frenetic as the previous day at Fendrich. The course had some bite, courtesy of morning rain and afternoon wind. Still leaves the tournament in a fun spot at the midway point, with what we learned from the first two rounds before heading to Newburgh next weekend.

There was no bigger winner this weekend than Caleb Wassmer.

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the biggest in the country's history, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.
As of 30 July, there were 3,605 confirmed cases including 1,587 deaths - a fatality rate of 44%.
The current outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain of the virus. It was declared on 15 May 2026 and surpasses the previous biggest outbreak between 2018 and 2020, which had nearly 3,500 recorded cases of whom almost 2,300 died.
There is currently no approved vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo strain, but vaccines are being developed in the UK and Singapore.
Ebola, which spreads through contact with bodily fluids, has killed 15,000 people across Africa over the last 50 years.

There's a concept in biology called adaptive radiation. It occurs when a species enters a new environment with unoccupied ecological niches and rapidly evolves into multiple distinct forms. We see a similar pattern in technology. When a breakthrough technology emerges, it often triggers a wave of innovation, with a growing number of companies developing competing approaches and quickly filling what was previously an empty market.

Quantum computing appears to be following a similar path. The technology is still in its early stages, and a few companies are already racing to bring it into commercial reality, each pursuing different architectures and strategies. Unlike traditional computers, which process information as ones and zeros, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, that can represent multiple states simultaneously. That allows them to tackle certain highly complex calculations much faster than conventional computers.
The commercial potential is hard to ignore, with Grand View Research projecting the quantum computing market will expand from about $1.9 billion in 2026 to more than $8 billion by 2033.

Eagles rookie not worried about recent hamstring injury originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
One of the more exciting names to watch on the Philadelphia Eagles this season is their first-round pick from the 2026 NFL Draft, Makai Lemon. The 22-year-old is coming out of his third season at the University of Southern California, one that saw him soar above his previous campaigns, recording 1156 yards and 11 touchdowns across 79 receptions in the Big Ten.
It also helps that Lemon is slated to enter an Eagles offensive scheme that just lost one of its main receiving options, as AJ Brown was traded away shortly after the draft, leaving new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with the task of finding new options elsewhere.
But all of this hype in the Eagles' rookie took a sharp turn during their OTAs earlier in the offseason, when Lemon suffered from a hamstring injury during the team's OTAs, which caused him to miss some time.
But now that Lemon has been a key part of Philadelphia's preseason training camp, it's safe to say that he is leaning towards the healthier side with his hamstring, something that he recently talked about with the press, expressing that the initial injury wasn't anything to worry about.

Both the former prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are now dealing with something called the consequences of their own actions. And for people who are not used to that, it can be hard. Andrew was stripped of his **** les, ordered to vacate his home at Royal Lodge, and is now under official investigation by the police. Fergie's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, meanwhile, continue to be reported all over.
Amid that, Hollywood insider Rob Shuter reports that Ferguson is once again looking for a place to disappear after her location in Switzerland was exposed. She was previously staying at the late Paddy McNally's chalet in Verbier, but not everyone knows where she is.

RB Leipzig have, according to Sky Germany, completed the signing of Ørjan Nyland, with the experienced goalkeeper set to return to Saxony after three years away from the club. The 35-year-old is expected to replace Péter Gulácsi, who is closing in on a move away from Leipzig.
Nyland previously joined Leipzig in 2022 as an emergency signing after Gulácsi suffered a serious knee injury. The Norwegian made several appearances during that period before leaving the club at the end of the season.
Nyland brings plenty of international experience to Leipzig, having earned more than 70 caps for Norway and previously played in Germany for FC Ingolstadt 04 before his first spell with RB. He recently shined at the 2026 World Cup, keeping his nation in the contest with multiple saves.

Neither Galatasaray nor Fenerbahce have yet been able to close a deal for Rafael Leao, and now, there is a growing feeling from outlets in Italy that the Portugal international could end up staying on with the Rossoneri heading into the 2026-27 campaign.
Milan have been looking to sell Leao this summer: The 26-year-old has spent the last seven seasons in San Siro and has himself made it clear on several occasions this summer that he feels now is the right time to move on and try something new.
However, as things stand, Milan have not yet been able to find a buyer that will satisfy both the club's and the player's demands.
Leao has previously spoken about his ambition to play in either the Premier League or LaLiga, but thus far, the only real interest has come from Turkey, where both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have had discussions over a potential deal.
Reports over the weekend claimed that Fenerbahce were preparing a new offer for Milan and Leao, understood to be worth 'almost' €50m, but according to TMW, the player remains unconvinced and Milan are unwilling to entertain offers below the €50m mark.

With Penn State beginning training camp Wednesday, here are five storylines to follow leading up to the first game of the Matt Campbell era Sept. 5 against Marshall at Beaver Stadium:
1. How will all the jigsaw pieces fit on the field?
Campbell has been talking about the importance of team unity since his arrival. He has ******* embled a team with about 50 Penn State returners and 40 transfers from 18 schools, including 24 from Iowa State, Campbell's previous institution.
By all accounts, the players began meshing during winter workouts and continued to bond during spring practice and the summer. But because so many front-line players missed all or part of spring practice and because many of these guys have never played in games together, it's natural to wonder how all the pieces will fit once the games start.
"There's certainly some unknown," Campbell said at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. "Probably a little bit of our good fortune is that we have such a good history with the (former Iowa State) players that missed a good portion of the spring. I think the Penn State (returning) players that missed a portion of the spring have earned videotape evidence of what they can do.

Autonomous trucking developer Aurora Innovation (NASDAQ: AUR) reported a second-quarter net loss of $270 million on $2 million in revenue Wednesday. Executives restated the driverless truck rates behind the two business models the company is selling to carriers and shippers.
Chief Financial Officer David Maday said Aurora's transportation-as-a-service offering carries a per-mile revenue outlook in the $2-plus-per-mile range, while its driver-as-a-service subscription targets $0.85+ per mile. Maday said the company had put both figures out previously. Aurora plans to begin moving customers from the first model to the second in 2027.
The gap between those two numbers is the practical question for any fleet weighing autonomous capacity. Under TaaS, Aurora holds a U.S. Department of Transportation operating authority, controls the truck, carries the insurance, and bills a full-service rate. Under DaaS, according to the company's Form 10-Q, customers "acquire, manage, and maintain fleets directly, while subscribing to the Aurora Driver and a suite of related services."
Aurora's loss amounted to 14 cents a share, wider than the 12-cent average of ****** ysts' estimates. Revenue rose 100% from $1 million a year earlier, which the company attributed in its Form 10-Q to increased utilization, geographical expansion, and higher fuel surcharges.
"Obviously the TaaS deals have a higher per mile revenue outlook because it's the full service," Maday said. "As we've said before, kind of in that $2 plus range, whereas DaaS is targeting the $0.85 plus. There's a substantial difference in TaaS versus DaaS on a revenue side, but there's also a substantial difference on the cost side and on the margin side."

During the early days of training camp, ESPN reporter John Keim caught up with Ben Sinnott to discuss how offensive coordinator David Blough plans to utilize the Commanders tight ends this season. Clearly, Sinnott was excited about the possibilities in Washington's new offense.
"It's not even close," Sinnott said. "So many different variations. Today we're lining up at number one, we're running five-step ins, we're running corners, we're running options, we're running flat [routes]. We're just doing everything. It's so much fun. It's a breath of fresh air for this offense and how it uses tight ends."
Head coach Dan Quinn has also detailed to reporters the role they see for free agent addition Chigoziem Okonkwo.
"Long play-action passing, over routes, pylon routes, things that are down the field, crossing routes that are catch-and-run to use some of his speed," Quinn said. Previously, we examined how much the Washington Commanders might run heavy personnel this season, but today we look at a couple of examples of what it might look like on the field.
Likely the personnel grouping most utilized by the Commanders offense this year, 12 personnel involves one running back, two tight ends, and two wide receivers. The team has emphasized the need for multi-dimensional running backs while adding Okonkwo as a big receiving threat. To gain an understanding of how Blough might use Chig out of 12 personnel, we take a look at an All-22 breakdown of Sam LaPorta with the Lions in 2023. Ben Johnson was Detroit's offensive coordinator and then-Lions quarterback David Blough was on the practice squad that year.

Tarik Skubal knew what the phone call meant before anyone needed to explain it.
The Detroit Tigers ace had stepped away from the dugout during Saturday night's game against the Athletics, something he had also done the previous evening to escape the heat and keep moving. This time, he never returned for the final innings.
"I got a phone call," Skubal said via the Detroit News. "And I knew what that was about."
Just like that, his seven-season run with the Tigers was over.
Detroit traded the reigning two-time American League Cy Young Award winner to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-hander River Ryan, outfielder Zyhir Hope and pitching prospect Brady Smith.

Manchester United are keen on signing Newcastle United's Lewis Hall according to reports.
The Red Devils have been interested in bringing in a new left back to provide cover to Luke Shaw ahead of the new season with United having a much more full fixture list.
According to journalist Andy Mitten in The National, the club are interested in signing the defender with a feeling that the England international would be open to the move.
The main stumbling block would be the price with United missing out on preferred midfield candidates this summer in a bid to keep transfer expenditure low. Indeed, Newcastle will not be happy to sell having already seen Sandro Tonali leave this summer with Bruno Guimarães expected to follow.
Any move would also likely see an exit for teenager Harry Amass who has featured in pre-season so far and has featured seven times for the senior side previously.

Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken admitted he will likely have to bring in further defensive reinforcements after several key players were struck down by injury in the opening three games of the season.
Vice-captain Stephen Kingsley, new centre-back Malachi ***** an-Walcott and right-back Christian Borchgrevink all picked up knocks in the Champions League qualifying double header against Sturm Graz, which ended in a 6-0 aggregate defeat.
Club captain Craig Halkett is already missing after rupturing his Achilles in the third-to-last match of the previous campaign, while fellow centre-half Stuart Findlay is out for next week's league match after his red card in the opener against Aberdeen.
Vrancken has already utilised four centre-back pairings, with midfielder McEntee filling in next to Findlay in the 2-1 loss at Pittodrie.
Jordi Altena and Harry Milne are the only fit full-backs, while Jamie McCart and MJ Kamson-Kamara, who is yet to play a competitive game for Hearts, are the fit centre-back options. New signing Laurent Mendy could also fill in further back.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has admitted that star player Gustavo Hamer is still drawing interest from other clubs.
The Blades drew 0-0 with German side Vfl Bochum in their final pre-season match. Despite continuing speculation on his future, Hamer played the full 90 minutes.
The midfielder has been heavily-linked linked with a return to newly-promoted side Coventry City. Hamer had previously played for Coventry before moving to Sheffield United for £15 million when they were promoted to the Premier League in 2023. The 29-year-old could make the switch from the Championship to the Premier League again this summer.
"I don't know if you realise, but I've just walked off the pitch," Wilder answered on Hamer's future. "I've had five minutes with my team and walked up to the media room. We'll check in, but Gus had a red and white shirt on today.
"You've seen his actions, you've seen his attitude towards the game, you've seen the positions he got in. You saw his reaction when a couple of things didn't come off.

Penn State's 2026 season will feature a completely overhauled roster following an offseason of significant transition. A coaching change led to a flurry of activity in the transfer portal, which led to a number of new faces on the program. We have taken some time to profile each player on the roster this season, but now it is time to dig a little deeper on the 25 players who will play the largest roles on the roster.
We shift our focus today to the defensive side of the football with one of the most important players coming back to the Nittany Lions in 2026; linebacker Tony Rojas.
A promising 2025 season was cut short early in the 2025 season for Tony Rojas. Coming off a stellar sophomore season in 2024 that was recognized with an honorable All-Big Ten mention, Rojas started four games for the Nittany Lions before missing the remainder of the year with a quad injury in a loss to Oregon. The loss of Rojas was felt immediately the following week when Penn State's defense was shredded by UCLA in a shocking loss that set in motion the eventual firing of head coach James Franklin. In his four games played, Rojas racked up 25 tackles with 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.
Rojas, a native of Virginia, was thought by some to be a potential player to follow Franklin to Virginia Tech during the offseason transfer window, but Rojas has remained committed to the Nittany Lions as Matt Campbell and his staff take over the program. His return is a key one for the defense and the team overall given his potential star power.
Is Tony Rojas back to full speed? That will be the main question for the star linebacker entering this season. Rojas said previously he expects to be cleared to go full speed in fall camp and once the season begins, as he was making good progress in his recovery plan entering the spring.

A troublesome reality is staring down Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, who is seemingly primed for a smaller role in 2026.
Per Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Rico Dowdle has emerged as the RB1 early in training camp, which isn't exactly great news for Warren heading into Year 5.
"Now 4 practices into camp, a couple of offensive depth chart declarations seem clear: Rico Dowdle is RB1 over Jaylen Warren, Roman Wilson is WR3 (well ahead of Germie Bernard)," Adamski wrote via X.
Warren spent the first three seasons of his career behind Najee Harris as a solid RB2 before emerging as the starting running back in 2025. Over the past four seasons, Warren has recorded 3,859 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns, including an impressive career average of 5.3 yards per touch.
Dowdle, who previously spent time with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy on the Dallas Cowboys, is on the verge of history heading into 2026, as he could become the first running back to record three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with three different teams.

Dowdle, who previously spent time with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy on the Dallas Cowboys, is on the verge of history heading into 2026, as he could become the first running back to record three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with three different teams.

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) this week outlined continued commercial progress across its Stereax and Goliath solid-state battery businesses, with chief executive Graeme Purdy highlighting the company's transition into revenue generation alongside several commercial catalysts expected over the next 12 to 18 months.
Purdy, in an interview in the Proactive studio, said the most significant development for the Stereax business had been its move into commercial production, with Ilika now supplying commercial-grade electrodes to Cirtec for incorporation into the M300 medical device product, which is expected to reach the market later this year.
He said the company had already recognised approximately £100,000 in revenue during the previous financial year, describing it as an early indicator of future growth. Purdy added that a second revenue stream is expected to emerge through royalty payments once products incorporating Stereax batteries are sold to end customers.
Here, we take a closer look at what was said when Graeme Purdy joined the Proactive studio.
Proactive: You've described the past year as one of strong commercial progress. What do you see as the standout achievements across both the Stereax and Goliath programmes?

It's The Basketball Tournament Championship game day!
La Familia takes on Davis Steel today at Historic Memorial Coliseum in Lexington with $2 million on the line for the winner.
Davis Steel has previously been known as Eberlein Drive in past years in the TBT, and knocked La Familia out of TBT last summer. Interestingly enough, Davis Steel was a sponsor of La Familia last year during TBT.
It's been an exciting run for La Familia through the tournament with some big wins and memorable moments, but today is the day that La Familia can cap it all off with a big win.
If you're headed out to Historic Memorial Coliseum today, remember that today is a white-out! And if you're planning to watch from home today, we've got all the info you need to know.

England's netballers were beaten 68-50 by world number one side Australia in their quest to win bronze at the Commonwealth Games.
The day after Saturday morning's frustrating semi-final loss to New Zealand, England tried to rally themselves to get on the podium but came up against a Diamonds team recovering from one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history.
Australia - who had previously been in every Commonwealth final and won the tournament four times - were stunned by Jamaica on Saturday afternoon, giving them less time to recover for the bronze-medal match than England.
The crowd responded to a lively start as great pressure from Roses captain Fran Williams led to Australia shooter Kiera Austin missing a shot with the score at 5-5, and Liv Tchine neatly slotted the ball in to open up a lead at the other end.
England worked hard to shut down the Diamonds' forward-passing options, forcing them to play sideways, but the team in green and gold found their rhythm with devastating consequences, overturning a 9-7 deficit to lead 19-11 in a bruising seven-minute first-quarter spell for the Roses.

Dexter Lawrence loves playing for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Obvious, perhaps, but it's a pretty commonly held idea that Lawrence wanted off the New York Giants, his previous team, for a variety of reasons.
Now, as Giants fans can surely attest, the mood around Lawrence has fully changed as Bengals training camp gets underway in earnest.
"I just show up every day with joy," Lawrence said, according to Dan **** d. "It goes fast. I'm already in year eight and I guess people can say that's (my) prime, but I feel good and I just keep learning every day."
Lawrence requested a trade from the Giants in April and eventually got it. Contract concerns were a part of it, but the Bengals only gave him a one-year extension added to his current deal. Organizational and coaching staff turnover with one playoff appearance since 2017 for the Giants surely played a role, too.

La Familia has made its first run to The Basketball Tournament's championship game in its third year competing in the summer event.
The Kentucky basketball alumni squad defeated JHX Hoops, Kansas' alumni team, 78-65 on Wednesday, July 29, in a TBT semifinal matchup. Former UK guard Archie Goodwin led La Familia in scoring, putting up a game-high 28 points.
Former Wildcats and others will face Davis Steel, a collection of former college basketball players from schools across the country, which came out of the "non-alumni" side of the bracket. Davis Steel competed in previous years as Eberlein Drive and eliminated La Familia in the round of 16 last summer.
The winner of the game, which takes place at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, will take home the $2 million prize. The money distribution is determined by the team and its players.
"To be able to win this — like, the money is cool, but to be able to do this for the school, I think is dope, because it just shows, like, 'Hey, even though (these) guys aren't in the NBA, they still are really good, and they're able to compete,'" Goodwin said. "That's kind of my mindset going in: I wanted to show that we still have that caliber — whether it's NBA or not — with our group, and I think we're doing a good job of that.

ZANESVILLE – Efforts to bring the Gus Macker basketball tournament back to Zanesville took a major step forward with the selection of a host site at Ohio University Zanesville/Zane State College and the YMCA of Zanesville, as community partners, sponsors and organizers work toward the event's return in July 2027.
Next, the Gus Macker executive committee will have a 30- to 40-minute site walkthrough in August with facility, campus and concession representatives to review the venue layouts and complete the proposed site plan. That'll include mapping out the areas for the hoops, parking, overflow, and food vendors, added Dominique Proctor, the Gus Macker Zanesville committee's executive chair.
Then, the committee can start working on a final contract with the tournament's headquarters. Discussions are expected to start after Labor Day.
More: Will Gus Macker basketball tournaments return to Zanesville?
The contract is a three-year agreement with a first-year opt-out, in case 2027's tournament falls short of expectations. Though, a well-attended event could secure two more in 2028 and 2029, the TR previously reported. Another agreement could be looked at after that.

Best pitchers traded at MLB trade deadline: Tarik Skubal joining C.C. Sabathia, Max Scherzer in company originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
There's arguably nothing more valuable to a team's World Series chances than a true No. 1 arm in the rotation — an ace who can shut down any opposing lineup. Because of the exclusivity of that group of pitchers, teams rarely choose to trade one midseason.
The best pitchers moved at the MLB trade deadline are typically mid-rotation arms who may have a good track record or even some All-Star nods but aren't quite top-five pitchers in the sport or future Hall of Famers. When the true best-of-the-best pitchers are traded, it has typically happened in the offseason.
But the Detroit Tigers' situation with Tarik Skubal turned out to be an exception to those trends. According to multiple reports, the Tigers are trading Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers for prospects Zyhir Hope, River Ryan, Brady Smith.
Skubal is one of the best pitchers ever moved at the trade deadline. There have, however, been a few previous aces traded at the deadline who became elite weapons for their new teams.

On Saturday evening, Jeff Passan broke the news that the White Sox (58-52) have acquired starting pitcher Luis Castillo from the Mariners (54-58). In exchange, Seattle received reliever Seranthony Dominguez, Triple-A outfielder Nolan Jones, and Double-A catcher Boston Smith.
Castillo, 33, is set to join the starting rotation on the South Side. In 2026, Castillo has posted a 5.06 ERA and a 4.57 FIP in 99 2/3 innings. It has been a down year for Castillo, who has only accumulated 0.6 fWAR this season. Overall, Castillo has put together an impressive career, posting a 3.65 ERA, a 3.78 FIP, and 27.0 fWAR across 10 seasons. Castillo is a three-time All-Star who finished fifth in the American League Cy Young race in 2023.
Castillo's numbers have declined significantly since last year (3.54 ERA, 3.88 FIP, 2.6 fWAR in 180 2/3 innings). This decline is noticeable, and the White Sox are aware that they are not acquiring the type of player that Castillo previously was. Castillo's fastball still has plenty of legs (95.3 mph on average, 64th percentile, slightly up from 2025). However, the effectiveness of his breaking ****** has declined sharply. Castillo's primary breaking ball and his second-most common pitch is his slider, which held opposing hitters to a measly .271 wOBA in 2025. By contrast, in 2026, batters have a .352 wOBA against it, a sizable increase. Repairing that slider is probably task No. 1 with regard to getting Castillo closer to his 2017-2025 self.
Castillo is being paid $24.15 million in 2026, and he is under team control through 2027, when he will earn the same salary. Most likely, Castillo will become a free agent at the end of the 2027 season. If Castillo pitches 180 innings in 2027, an option for 2028 will vest, and he will earn $25 million, but the White Sox would likely avoid that.
Domínguez, 31, is the only active major leaguer going to the Mariners in this trade. Domínguez has posted a 3.99 ERA and a 4.64 FIP in 38 1/3 innings as a reliever on the South Side this year. Prior to this season, the White Sox signed him to a two-year, $20 million contract. Entering the season, Domínguez was expected to be a high-leverage reliever, but he has not quite lived up to the hype.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched eight strong innings, but the Dodgers offense didn't support him, falling to the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
Yamamoto, who leads MLB averaging 6.68 innings per start, completed eight innings for the fourth time this season, tying Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara for the major league lead. Yamamoto struck out three and walked one, needing only 96 pitches to complete his eight frames. But he left trailing.
Ceddanne Rafaela, who homered in a three-hit game on Friday night, got the scoring started on Saturday with a solo home run with one out in the first inning, just three pitches into the game. He hit another solo shot in the third inning.
Those were the only hits off Yamamoto until the eighth inning, when Andruw Monasterio hit a leadoff ground rule double then scored two ground ***** later.
Teoscar Hernández went out to right field for a two-run shot in the second inning for his second home run in three days, after hitting two home runs in his previous 28 games before that.

Barcelona's midfield situation has changed considerably over the last few weeks. Frenkie de Jong's injury has left Hansi Flick with fewer reliable options in the double pivot, while Marc Bernal is still returning from a lengthy layoff and cannot immediately be expected to carry a full workload.
Pedri remains an automatic starter and Gavi has proven that he can play alongside him, but the depth behind them suddenly looks far less secure than it did at the beginning of the summer.
There have also been rumours that Flick had already begun losing some trust in Frenkie towards the end of last season. The Dutchman reportedly did not manage his previous injury particularly well and continued playing during a World Cup year despite not being fully fit.
That was said to have frustrated Flick, who began trusting Gavi more during the closing stages of the campaign. Frenkie has still travelled with the team for pre-season, although some have interpreted that as Flick wanting him to recover under the club's supervision and, in a way, holding him accountable for how the situation was handled.
With Barcelona still expected to complete more business before the transfer window closes, another midfielder may now have become a genuine necessity rather than a luxury.

Detroit — Rickie Fowler has been here from the beginning.
You best believe he'd love to be the last man standing at the last Rocket Classic. And it's possible.
Fowler shot a Saturday 67 and was at 12 under through three rounds, three shots back of leader Davis Riley entering Sunday's final round at Detroit Golf Club. Fowler has been the face of this tournament since it was announced in 2018.
He's been a pitchman for Rocket (and previously Quicken Loans) for years, and he's been pitch perfect in trumpeting the value of Detroit's PGA Tour tournament, which is ending after eight years.
"It's definitely been a ***** mer to kind of come into this knowing it was the last one," Fowler said this week. "It's been fun for me to have a partnership with Rocket and see this event make its way here, because that was always a dream of theirs to have an event back in Detroit.

Aug. 1—A landmark ruling from a U.S. District Court judge in Colorado will open the door for hundreds of college athletes to return to school this coming fall and could help Gonzaga rebuild its roster at a crucial point of the offseason.
On Friday afternoon, Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney granted a preliminary injunction that will give any athlete from the high school class of 2022 an additional year of college eligibility.
The ruling comes after dozens of student-athletes in multiple states filed lawsuits against the NCAA, **** erting they should be eligible to compete under the regulatory body's new "5-for-5" rule that gives players five years to play five seasons.
NCAA President Charlie Baker, who previously stated outgoing college seniors wouldn't be grandfathered in to play under "5-for-5," reacted to Friday's court ruling through a written statement.
"Without targeted intervention from Congress, college sports cannot set nationwide rules everyone can play by and without Congress, failed professionals will continue to use college sports as a fallback option — robbing the next class of young athletes of college scholarships," Baker said. "It is long past time leaders across college sports call for the immediate passage of the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act. ... Today's rulings and the chaos they bring to college sports are exactly why it's time to pass this bill."
