Sunny, low-tax states like Florida, South Carolina and Nevada have become a magnet for U.S. retirees, with Florida alone placing four cities in the top 10 WalletHub's Best Places to Retir survey. Scottsdale, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada also placed in the top 12 slots in the survey.
Relocation and family finance experts say retirees are drawn to sunnier, usually southern U.S. locales not only due to the warmer climate, but for a lower, or no, tax-rate. Now, data is showing that many retirees are finding their new states bring countering cost of living issues to the buffet table, most notably homeowners ****** ociation fees and sky-high home insurance rates.

Blake Roskopf threw five touchdown passes and Goodyear Desert Edge's defense stifled Scottsdale Notre Dame's offense in a 46-7 5A football rout on Thursday night, Sept. 10, at Desert Edge.
Roskopf quickly carved up Notre Dame's defense, finding open receivers all over the field. He threw two touchdown passes to Jhaheem Brown and two to Zerek Sidney, including a 61-yarder that gave the top-ranked Scorpions (3-0) a 40-7 lead with five minutes left in the third quarter.
Roskopf, a Washington commit, has quietly thrown 12 touchdown passes in Desert Edge's first three games.
But the story of its season so far has been the defense, led by electric junior edge rusher Jalanie George, who had another monster game.
When Notre Dame's Austin Bush ran 3 yards for a score with 7:21 left in the second quarter, it was the first time this season that Desert Edge allowed a touchdown. The score came after Desert Edge twice lined up offsides on two Notre Dame field-goal tries. With short yardage, the Saints picked up first downs both times, leading to the score and a 7-6 lead.

The Kardashian family has become deeply intertwined with sports. One of the younger sisters, Kendall Jenner, was featured in a viral Super Bowl ad this year, and another, and Kim Kardashian, arguably the face of the family, has been romantically linked to athletes such as NBA player Kris Humphries, as well as NFL stars Reggie Bush and Odell Beckham Jr, and is currently dating F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton.
Now, Kardashian is deepening her inroads in the sports community, as she'll be an executive producer for Team Moms: Baseball, a reality TV series focusing on the parents of the Legendary Preps Academy baseball team in Scottsdale, Arizona.
"These families are passionate, competitive, and completely all in when it comes to their kids—and sometimes what happens in the stands is just as intense as what happens on the field," Kardashian and executive producer Natalie Ento said of the show, per Deadline. "That's what makes Team Moms: Baseball so much fun to watch."
On Wednesday, the first trailer for the show was released.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the trailer and Kardashian's involvement in the show didn't debut to rave reviews.

Scottsdale Saguaro first-year coach Butch Goncharoff insists the football season is not going to be canceled, but, for the second week in a row, the roster is so depleted with injuries that the Sabercats have canceled their upcoming game.
They were scheduled to play ALA Queen Creek on Sept. 10, but on the morning of Sept. 7, Saguaro notified Patriots head coach Rich Edwards that the Sabercats had to cancel the game.
Last week, Saguaro canceled its game against rival Scottsdale Chaparral due to a safety issue with too many players banged up from the season-opening 62-0 loss to Scottsdale Desert Mountain.
Chaparral, a 5A team, was able to replace Saguaro with 4A Tempe and beat the Buffaloes 57-0 as a running clock started late in the second quarter. Tempe accepted the game after Phoenix Carl Hayden canceled its game with the Buffaloes.
"With the game being a short week, Thursday, it was still going to be hard to get enough players back," Goncharoff said in a text message. "But we are not canceling the season."

With roots dating back to 1868, Scotts Miracle-Gro (SMG) faces a future that hinges on getting a nonchalant Gen Z crowd to pay to fertilize their lawns, just like their proud green-lawn-owning parents.
New CEO Nate Baxter realizes the hill to climb is steep and chock-full of roadblocks, such as more people buying Astroturf for lawns or putting stones where grass once lived — and needing water to do so.
"So our core consumer that has been with us for decades. They're homeowners or renters who care about their lawn. They are dedicated. And they care about weeds — they don't want them. They want the perfect lawn story," Baxter said in a new episode of the Power Players with Brian Sozzi podcast (watch above; listen in below). "What we are seeing with the next generation of consumer is a real interest in going natural. They don't mind an occasional dandelion in their lawn."
Baxter said Scotts has released new fertilizer in recyclable paper bags and all-natural lawn food to cater to this finicky crowd. He promises a push into products that could help people connect with the health of their lawn's soil.

Carles Gil put on a clinic to lead the New England Revolution to a 3-1 win over Columbus Crew at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.
And in the process, the former Landon Donovan MLS MVP placed himself in some rarefied air on Sunday.
With his 1g/2a, the Revs captain increased his career total to 152 goal contributions (57g/95a), making him the 20th player in MLS history to reach 150-plus goal contributions.
Gil picked up an **** ist on Matt Polster's 32nd-minute equalizer that canceled out Brais Méndez's opening goal for Columbus.

The Philadelphia Phillies appear to have gotten what they hoped for when they acquired Brandon Marsh from the Los Angeles Angels several years ago. The outfielder has developed into an important part of Philadelphia's lineup this season, reaching his first All-Star game as he provides some important batting order depth behind Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Luis Arraez.
Meanwhile, the players who the Angels received in exchange for him, once seen as a key piece of the Phillies' future, has struggled to meet expectations.

Wyndham Clark has entered the conversation for the PGA Tour Player of the Year race with his third victory of the season at the BMW Championship
Like all of his other wins, Clark was dialed in with his Ping Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset CB putter. He ranked 6th in the field in SG: Putting and averaged nearly 100 feet of putts made per round.
The week leading up to Clark's U.S. Open victory in June, Clark signed a unique putter-endorsement contract with Ping to continue using the putter he first switched to in the spring. It was the first putter-only deal for Ping in more than 50 years of sponsoring Tour players.
Clark started the year as a gear free agent after his previous contract with **** leist expired at the end of 2025. He cycled through putters for the first two months of the season, then switched to the Scottsdale TEC in March at the Texas Children's Houston Open before moving to a heavier counterbalanced version at the RBC Heritage in April.
Wyndham Clark's Ping putter deal couldn't have been timed any better

Peoria Liberty junior quarterback Marlie Phillips will have to sit out the first six games of the upcoming flag football season after the Arizona Interscholastic ******* ociation denied her transfer appeal, Phillips confirmed to The Arizona Republic.
Phillips transferred to Liberty in the offseason after two seasons at Chandler Hamilton, where she went 38-0 as a starter and helped lead the Huskies to consecutive 6A state championships in 2024 and '25.
Phillips is ranked the No. 1 high school flag football quarterback in the state by The Arizona Republic in its 2026 preseason player rankings last month.
Phillips, who lives in Youngtown but attended Hamilton under the state's open enrollment law, was seeking an appeal to play right away instead of sitting the first part of the season as normally required by the AIA transfer rule.
Liberty opens the season Sept. 15 against Cactus Canyon. Phillips' debut for Liberty will come on Oct. 15 against Scottsdale Christian Academy at the Fiesta Bowl Copper State Invitational. Her first AIA game will be on Oct. 20 at home against Gilbert.

As the San Francisco Giants are taking on the Houston Astros in a 3-game series this week, they received a piece of news on a pitcher they recently released from their organization.
A few days ago, Michael Fulmer was released from the Giants' minor-league system.
On Tuesday, he landed a new MiLB deal with the Los Angeles Angels. The former AL Rookie of the Year with the Detroit Tigers has pitched in parts of eight MLB seasons, but has yet to appear in an MLB game this season.

When you see Patrick Mahomes starring in campaigns for brands such as Oakley, Fortnite, SKIMS, and GQ, there's a good chance Jacquelyn Dahl played a key role in making those partnerships happen. As Mahomes' longtime marketing agent, Dahl has overseen many of the quarterback's off-field business ventures through her Scottsdale, Arizona-based agency, 1UP Sports Marketing, where she serves as founder and CEO.
This week, however, the spotlight shifted from business to family. Jacquelyn and her husband, David Dahl, announced the birth of their third daughter, Riley James, together. Sharing the news on Instagram, the couple wrote:
"Welcome to the world Riley James ♡ Born 7-27-26 ♡ 5lb 13oz. The girl gang is thriving and our hearts are so full."
Dahl is married to former MLB outfielder David Dahl, who spent almost a decade in the league with multiple teams, including the Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, and Philadelphia Phillies. The couple met through mutual connections while Jacquelyn was in college and David was beginning his professional baseball career.
After the birth of their third daughter, Riley, the couple now share three children together. They welcomed their first daughter, Parker Raye Dahl, in January 2021 before becoming parents to their second daughter, Dani Jo. Now, the girl gang is surely thriving as baby girl No. 3 arrived this summer. The couple shared the news a couple of months after announcing the news via a social media post.

Second quarter RevPAR growth of 5.6% was driven entirely by average daily rate (ADR) as occupancy remained flat year-over-year.
Management attributed the modest 3.3% Total RevPAR growth to a shift in business mix, where transient demand filled gaps left by large FIFA World Cup room block releases, resulting in lower out-of-room spend.
The portfolio saw broad-based strength across markets, with Philadelphia and Salt Lake City leading growth, while the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale continues to track favorably toward stabilization.
Margin compression of 65 basis points was primarily caused by the lapping of a $1.5 million real estate tax refund from 2025 and startup costs for new food and beverage outlets at W Nashville.

There might not be a better match play golfer in the history of the state of Utah than Kelsey Chugg, a 35-year-old amateur who continues to defy the odds on the golf course.
The **** ociate director of golf for Salt Lake City was at it again on Wednesday at Oakridge Country Club in Farmington, winning a pair of matches against much younger players to advance to the 36-hole championship match of the 120th Women’s State Amateur.
Chugg will face Taylorsville’s Ashley Lam, a Westminster University golfer who prepped at Skyline High, in Thursday’s final match at 7:30 a.m. as Chugg chases her seventh **** le and Lam her first.
It will be the eighth championship match for Chugg, who is 6-1 in **** le matches in 15 appearances in the Utah Women’s State Amateur and now has a 45-8 record in State Am matches, according to Kurt Kragthorpe of Fairways Magazine.
Chugg advanced Wednesday with a 2 up victory over another former champion, 2020 winner Grace Summerhays of Scottsdale, Arizona. Summerhays recently completed her college career at Arizona State and was playing in only her second event after taking nearly nine months off due to wrist injuries.

Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE:EXK) is one of the undervalued stocks to buy according to the Wall Street. On June 18, Endeavour Silver announced positive results from its first exploration drilling campaign at the Terronera mine in Jalisco, Mexico, since 2020. The program, which included 53 drill holes across the La Luz and Terronera systems, successfully intersected high-grade silver and gold mineralization, effectively extending the known zones along strike and at depth.
Key intercepts included hole LL-43, which returned 2,607 g/t AgEq over 1.06 metres, and TRU-003, which yielded 686 g/t AgEq over 5.32 metres. These results validate the continuity of robust mineralized zones within the property and support Endeavour Silver Corp.'s (NYSE:EXK) efforts to refine mine design, particularly at the high-grade La Luz deposit, where production is currently targeted to begin in 2027.

Two drill rigs remain active at the site, with ongoing operations scheduled through the fourth quarter to further delineate the vein systems. Management believes that these findings demonstrate significant potential to grow mineral resources, extend the mine's operational life, and unlock additional value across the broader Terronera property.
Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE:EXK) is a mid-tier silver producer operating mines in Mexico and Peru, with a strong exploration portfolio across the Americas. The company focuses on organic growth and responsible mining to advance its goal of becoming a leading senior silver producer.

Kentucky basketball is still living in the urgency of the 2027 recruiting cycle, but Mark Pope’s staff is not recruiting with tunnel vision. The Wildcats are already looking further down the road. That is where Liam Mitakaro enters the picture.
Mitakaro, a 2028 guard out of Bella Vista Prep in Scottsdale, Arizona, has become one of the more compelling young names on the national board. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound playmaker is currently rated by 247Sports as the No. 29 overall player in the country, the No. 4 combo guard nationally, and the No. 2 player in Arizona for his class.
That ranking is strong. It also may not hold high enough for long. Kentucky’s offer puts the Wildcats into one of the faster-rising recruitments of the summer. Mitakaro already has offers from Ole Miss, Arkansas, Kansas, Syracuse, and others, while programs such as Texas, UCLA, Oregon, Cal, UNLV, Oklahoma State, and Arizona State have also been around the conversation. The board is getting crowded because the film is not difficult to understand.
Mitakaro looks like a guard built for where basketball is going.
At 6-foot-4, he has the kind of positional size that changes the math. He can see over smaller defenders, pass over pressure, and finish through angles that shorter guards do not always have. But the size is only part of the story. What makes him different is how he moves with it.

Wyndham Clark had a round to remember Sunday at the 2026 Travelers Championship.
The U.S. Open champion shot 5-under 65 during the final round at TPC River Highlands, and he did so with an excellent performance on the greens. Clark made 105 feet of putts, and he took only 20 swipes with the flat stick on Sunday.
In the history of the Travelers Championship, that's the fewest number of putts in a round ever.
Clark's putter change to the Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset has been revolutionary for his game. Since making the change, he has won twice – the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and his second U.S. Open ******* le – and finished T-5 at the Travelers. His worst finish in the last five starts is T-11. In a little more than three months, he has gone from a below-average putter to one of the best in the world.
The record for fewest putts in a PGA Tour round is 18, a whopping one per hole, achieved 12 times. Cameron Smith was the latest to do it in 2021.

Wyndham Clark is on the precipice of winning his second U.S. Open in four years, and shockingly it is his putting leading the way. Clark has built his six-stroke lead at Shinnecock Hills via the flat stick, leading the field in strokes gained/putting through 54 holes.
Clark needed to be steady on the greens during Saturday’s third round, and a stretch of impressive par-save putts illustrate the importance. Seven-footers fell at Nos. 6 and 9. A five-footer on 10. A six-footer on 11 and a 14-footer at 13. None gimmes on shinny’s slippery putting surfaces. Miss them all and it’s a one-shot lead, not half-a-dozen.
Mind you, Clark wasn’t always so proficient on the greens. Earlier this year he was languishing 132nd in strokes gained/putting, giving away shots in six of eight starts, as he worked his way through an **** ortment of putters. Finally, at the Masters, Clark switched to a Ping Scottsdale Tec Ally Blue Onset mallet putter that clicked.
Clark’s putter has several strips of lead tape on the bottom that virtually cover the sole to counterbalance the weight of his long, oversize Superstroke Revl Mid F/C grip. The 38-inch putter has 3 degrees of loft, a 20-degree lie angle and an estimated head weight of 400 grams.
