The PGA Tour has begun revealing which tournaments will become Championship Series events in 2028 when a new two-track model is implemented.
First up for the PGA Tour's top-tier Championship Series is the Travelers Championship, which has been played annually at TPC River Highlands just outside Hartford, Connecticut, each June, typically the week after the U.S. Open. Since 2023, the Travelers has been one of eight $20 million signature events on the PGA Tour. The announcement was made on Monday.
In 2028, the PGA Tour Championship Series will comprise roughly 15 regular-season events, in addition to the four major championships, Players Championship, and playoff events. Purses for the PGA Tour-operated events (the non-majors) will be at least $20 million, with some tournaments like the Players and a revamped Tour Championship offering even more prize money. The second-tier Challenger Series will comprise at least 20 events, each offering much lower purses of at least $4 million. Both series will run from approximately February to August, and will include annual promotion and relegation between the circuits.
"Right now we have 47 events at the PGA Tour—we'll have 47 events going forward," PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said when he unveiled the plans for the new scheduling model in June. "That current model serves roughly 230 players. We'll serve that amount of players, the same. We are just organized now in a more simple understanding competitively so our fans can understand it, our partners know what they're getting as far as value. So we think we've just organized the same tour into a much more interesting and competitive system."
The second confirmed Championship Series event will be sponsored by Sompo, a ***** anese insurance and financial services firm, the PGA Tour announced on Tuesday. The event's market has yet to be determined, though. In 2027, Sompo will back a full-field (non-signature) PGA Tour event at Silverado Resort's North Course in Napa, California, July 29 to Aug. 1—effectively replacing the Rocket Classic in Detroit, which is leaving the PGA Tour schedule after this season. In 2028, the Sompo event will relocate to a new market as part of the transition to the Championship Series.

Olivia Rodrigo stepped out in a micro minidress from Gimaguas held up by just two strings, making a striking fashion statement. The "drivers license" hitmaker is known for blending chic style with glamorous vibes. This time, she opted for a look that perfectly combined modern allure with laid-back fashion, making heads turn.
Olivia Rodrigo turned heads in a striking micro minidress by Gimaguas, held up by just two delicate strings. The singer-songwriter shared the look in a vibrant photo dump capturing a fun outing with friends. With this bold fit, Rodrigo continues to prove she is the ultimate queen of effortless fashion.
The photos perfectly resonate with her signature aesthetic: relaxed, laid-back fashion that never compromises on glamor. For the occasion, she turned to the Spanish label Gimaguas. Founded by twin sisters Claudia and Sayana Durany, the brand is celebrated for its clean silhouettes and craft-inspired designs — both of which were reflected in Rodrigo's dress.
The dress featured two thin straps and a deep neckline for a bold touch. The upper bodice was a sleek black colour, which then flared into a pink skirt with a pleated design. The dress had a flowing design that lent it a soft and feminine vibe, while the deep back further elevated its daring appeal.
In one of the photos, she paired the look with black sunglasses while posing for the camera. Rodrigo kept her makeup and hair as understated as possible, wearing her hair down with a soft pink lip shade that perfectly complemented the outfit.

A pair of Premier League clubs have set their sights on the signature of a leading member of the defensive ranks at Spanish outfit Rayo Vallecano.
This comes amid mounting interest in the services of Andrei Rațiu.
Rațiu, for his part, is fresh off a brilliant individual campaign on the books of Rayo Vallecano, which saw the Romanian international pique the attentions of a whole host of leading Spanish clubs.
Across all competitions, Rațiu took to the pitch on a hefty 50 occasions, chipping in with a goal and four **** ists from his berth at right-back along the way.
At one point, Hansi Flick's Barcelona, in turn, were even labelled as a potential landing spot for the 28-year-old.

Liverpool have managed to get two big deals over the line so far this summer.
Jeremy Jacquet’s signature was put in place back in winter but the move which takes him from Rennes to Anfield for £60m has now been completed.
Richard Hughes struck an opportunistic deal for Victor Munoz - who arrives on a £34m deal from Osasuna. Another player - Ifeanyi Ndukwe - has also been registered with the centre-back moving from Austria Vienna.
But Andoni Iraola’s side remain short on players in key positions. Right-back is shaping up to be an issue once again.
Conor Bradley is not expected to be fit anytime soon following a leg injury suffered in January and last season midfielders were asked to fill in.

Arsenal are interested in signing Yan Diomande and are pushing alongside Paris Saint-Germain to add the attacker to their squad during this transfer window. However, the forward could remain at RB Leipzig, with the German club determined to keep hold of one of their key players despite growing interest in his services.
Before the World Cup began, Liverpool made a strong attempt to sign the Ivorian attacker and submitted a significant bid for his signature. RB Leipzig rejected the offer and maintained that the player was not available for transfer, signalling their intention to retain him for the foreseeable future.
The Bundesliga club are eager for Diomande to stay for at least one more season and are reportedly prepared to offer him a new contract this summer. ***** nal are nevertheless prepared to test their resolve as they continue their efforts to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

According to Fichajes, RB Leipzig have not changed their position regarding Diomande’s future and continue to insist that he is not available for sale during this transfer window. The club regard him as one of the standout players in their squad and are determined to ensure that he remains part of their plans, meaning they are expected to reject any approach from ***** nal.

The 2026 Tour de France will meet the famous 21 hairpins of Alpe d’Huez on Friday, in the first of two back-to-back days scaling the famous peak. But it is the second journey, up the lesser travelled Col de Sarenne, which has provoked protest, a petition and criticism of race organisers.
The route for this year’s Tour was announced at a Paris ceremony last October. Saturday’s stage 20 immediately stood out, partly as a rare double ascent of Alpe d’Huez, perhaps the most famous mountain in Tour de France lore; and partly because the stage is brutal in its own right. It features 5,000m of elevation gain over four Tour behemoths: the Croix de Fer, the Col du Telegraphe, Col du Galibier, and finally the Col de Sarenne – the eastern back road up the Alpe – before an undulating final 14km to the finish, via the final four hairpins of the traditional route.
The Col de Sarenne is an unusual pass for the Tour to tackle. This is the first time it has been used as an ascent, after it was used once as a descent in 2013. The debate back then was about rider safety, with sheer drops either side of the narrow, uneven path near the top, and hay bales were hastily planted along the road’s edge to protect a disgruntled peloton.
Ahead of this year’s return to the Col de Sarenne, environmentalists have led protests against race organiser ASO and its decision to send the world’s biggest bike race over the Sarenne pass in the Ferrand Valley, part of Ecrins National Park and an ecologically sensitive area.
A petition which garnered more than 15,000 signatures called for the stage to be re-routed away from the “beautiful and wild” area, which the petition stresses is home to numerous animals including stoats, marmots, foxes, chamois, eagles, bearded vultures, ptarmigan, rock partridges and the rare black grouse, whose chicks hatch in July.

Anderson spoke to friends at Chelsea before joining Man City to learn about Enzo Maresca
The £116M signing says those who worked under Maresca at Chelsea "all rate him very highly"
Anderson says he has also studied Maresca's teams closely over the past couple of years
Manchester City's club record signing Elliot Anderson has revealed that conversations with friends at Chelsea played a key role in his decision to join the club, after learning about Enzo Maresca's coaching methods from those who worked directly under him at Stamford Bridge.
The 23-year-old joined Manchester City from Nottingham Forest on 2 July 2026 in a deal worth £116 million, and used his first official interview as a City player to offer a candid account of the conversations that shaped his thinking during a summer in which multiple clubs were competing for his signature.

HENDERSON, Nev. — There'll be no holdouts among the rookies at the Las Vegas Raiders' training camp. Which means fewer distractions for first-year head coach Klint Kubiak.
Quarterback Fernando Mendoza put his signature to a four-year deal worth a reported $57.27 million and is fully guaranteed. He reported to the Intermountain Health Performance Center Thursday with the rest of the 10 rookies, all of who are signed.
Mendoza is receiving a signing bonus of $38.1 million so he can now concentrate on football, which has been his mantra since the Raiders took him No. 1 overall in late April.
"I'm so excited to be part of the family. Can't wait to get to work," Mendoza, who led Indiana to the national championship earlier this year, said on the Raiders' X account Thursday. "Appreciate your guys' all support. Let's get this thing rolling!"
And while Kirk Cousins is the favorite to be the Raiders' starter on Sept. 13 vs. Miami at Allegiant Stadium, it was important for Mendoza to not miss any time. He may be highly intelligent, but it's a big learning curve from college football to the NFL, something he has acknowledged on more than one occasion.
There is a team option fifth year in the contract so No. 15 is going to be around Las Vegas for a while. The plan is not to rush his development, let him learn and progress at a pace both he and the coaching staff are comfortable with and be ready to stay the starter once they make him the No. 1 QB.
The veterans report next Tuesday and the first day of overall camp is Wednesday. But there were images on the Raiders' social media of some of the veterans showing up at the team's facility in Henderson, including Maxx Crosby and Jackson Powers-Johnson.
For the next few days, it'll be Mendoza and his fellow rookies who will be the center of attention as they acclimate themselves to NFL life and Kubiak and his staff get a feel for what they have to work with.

Plymouth Township — Things are looking increasingly grim for the LIV Golf tournament in Metro Detroit next month.
LIV Golf's season-ending team championship officially remains on the schedule for Aug. 27-30, but amid the league's major funding crisis, that might not remain in the case for long.
There has been no infrastructure buildout at The Cardinal at Saint John's Resort as of Wednesday night, with a Detroit News reporter spotting no hospitality suites on the 18th hole, no stage for the post-round concerts and championship celebration, no player walking bridge across the signature pond, no visible signage — no nothing to suggest a significant golf tournament will be played here five weeks from Thursday.
Buildout for golf tournaments of this magnitude typically takes multiple months.
Meanwhile, earlier Wednesday, a LIV Golf player, two-time major champion Martin Kaymer, cast serious doubt on the likelihood that the championship in Michigan will take place.

Thursday’s reports claim that Luka Modric has already put pen to paper on his new Milan contract, and now all that is missing is a formal confirmation from the club.
Modric, who will turn 41 in September, has already put his signature on a one-year contract extension with wages reported to be worth €3.5m (net) plus bonuses according to TMW. An official announcement from the club could even arrive by the end of the afternoon.
Modric originally joined Milan in the summer of 2025, signing an initial one-year contract with an option to extend.
Though he surpassed expectations on an individual level during his first year in San Siro, it was an ultimately disappointing end to the season on a collective level, as Milan stumbled out of the top four, finished in fifth on the final week of the season and missed out on Champions League football.
This led to the departures of head coach Massimiliano Allegri, sporting director Igli Tare, technical director Geoffrey Moncada and CEO Giorgio Furlani the day after the season ended.

Red carpet fashion is always a showcase of personal style, where bold risks can become unforgettable triumphs or occasional missteps. Recent premieres for The Invite and the live-action Moana offered plenty of standout looks, with celebrities embracing everything from elegant couture to contemporary tailoring. Together, these appearances highlighted how fashion continues to play a central role in promoting major film releases while allowing stars to express their individuality.
At the premiere of The Invite, Penélope Cruz brought timeless elegance to the red carpet in a custom pale blue Chanel gown. The soft color and refined silhouette created a fresh, sophisticated appearance that perfectly suited the occasion. Rashida Jones demonstrated that sharp tailoring can be just as glamorous as an evening dress, wearing a black double-breasted Chloé suit accented by a sailor-inspired lace collar. Meanwhile, Olivia Wilde embraced dramatic styling in a striking black Saint Laurent gown featuring a cropped twisted bodice, oversized sleeves, and vibrant emerald earrings that added a welcome burst of color.
The global press tour for the live-action Moana showcased an equally impressive range of fashion. In Shanghai, Dwayne Johnson made a confident statement in a white Dzojchen suit with a modern wrap jacket, completing the look with white-rimmed glasses and traditional Polynesian garlands that celebrated the film's cultural roots. Co-star Catherine Laga'aia embraced playful elegance during the daytime events in a lavender crop top and flowing skirt before changing into a dreamy Teresa Helbig couture gown for the evening premiere. Inspired by the beauty of water, the design featured delicate botanical details and a soft, flowing silhouette that echoed the spirit of Disney's Moana.
As the promotional tour continued to London, Johnson stayed true to his signature style with another crisp white ensemble, pairing an open-collar shirt with matching trousers and a floral garland. Laga'aia complemented the event with a coordinated LoveShackFancy outfit featuring floral embroidery and a tiered maxi skirt that captured a cheerful, youthful energy. Their consistent styling throughout the tour reinforced the vibrant and adventurous atmosphere surrounding the film.
Another memorable appearance came from Millie Bobby Brown, who wore a romantic custom Galia Lahav gown inspired by a costume featured in the movie. The flowing icy-blue dress included a pleated bodice, delicate bow detail, and elegant skirt, while understated accessories and soft styling allowed the design to remain the centerpiece. Standing beside her husband, Jake Bongiovi, Brown completed a polished and graceful look that perfectly reflected the fantasy-inspired charm of the film, proving once again that thoughtful fashion can become an extension of storytelling itself.

The flowing icy-blue dress included a pleated bodice, delicate bow detail, and elegant skirt, while understated accessories and soft styling allowed the design to remain the centerpiece. Standing beside her husband, Jake Bongiovi, Brown completed a polished and graceful look that perfectly reflected the fantasy-inspired charm of the film, proving once again that thoughtful fashion can become an extension of storytelling itself.

Throughout the Red Sox 15 game winning streak, they leaned heavily on spectacular starting pitching. Unfortunately, they didn’t get that tonight.
Eduardo Rivera was given the opening role for the third time over the course of the winning streak, and this time, the well finally ran dry. He gave up four runs before the national anthem was over and left the mound with over 40 pitches thrown while only recording two outs. He had zero fastball command, which the Orioles quickly figured out, and then sat on his slider to deliver the knockout punch.
Sadly, that’s pretty much the story of game. From there, Kyle Bradish kept the the Sox offense off balance, and there was never a real rally despite the lineup putting the ball in play most of the night.
The bigger story now is the conclusion of the winning streak and what it’s done for the season. In short, its ensured there’s going to be meaning baseball here for August and September (and hopefully October too, but they still have to earn that). It’s also going to remembered as the signature run of this team. They went from dead in the water and other teams circling the ballpark like buzzards waiting to see what they could pick from the carcass at the trade deadline, to in possession of Wild Card spot. Incredible stuff!
Many fans gave the team a standing ovation at the end of the game, and even though their performance tonight squashed what could have been an all time crazy atmosphere, the group that ensured there’s going to be many more crazy atmospheres for the rest of the summer deserved it.

In the 1980s, Coca-Cola infamously introduced a reformulated version of their signature soda that ended up going by the name New **** e. It didn’t go over very well: sales slumped, chastened executives were forced to reintroduce the classic **** e, and conspiracy theories about the revamped recipe being a scheme to juice sales of the rescued original recipe spread. Tonight, Aaron Nola pitched in front of a Coca-Cola logo drawn into the mound dirt. Like that vaunted soft drink, Nola has two recipes: Nola Classic, a highly effective, if not quite ace-level, pitcher, and New Nola, the struggling hurler whose long-ball nemesis often gets the better of him. Will Coca-Nola Classic ever make a permanent return to the beverage aisle? We hope so. But tonight, we got the not-so-sweet taste of New Nola, as the Dodgers took the series.
Nola got the night started off right with a one-pitch out of Shohei Ohtani. Alec Bohm got it started off even more right with a two-run shot to left in the bottom first. In the second, Nola struck out Max Muncy on a classic knuckle curve, then put out the next two Angelenos down on fly **** . It was smooth sailing at first for the Louisianan hurler. And it continued that way through the first two outs of the third. Then, unfortunately, came the familiar refrain, the song of the summer that you wish the radio would stop playing: a homer, this one courtesy of Dalton Rushing, to narrow the lead to one.
He encountered more trouble in the fourth. Freddie Freeman doubled, then did the little dance, both arms up and waving buoyantly, that the Dodgers apparently do after hits. It is said that this dance actually traces its origins back to the Brooklyn days, when the early Dodgers used it to hone the reflexes that were necessary for the dodging of trolleys; it is still extant despite the loss of its purpose, rather like the appendix. Max Muncy singled to put two runners on, but Nola was able to wrap the inning up without further damage.
The same could not be said of the fifth. Nola allowed singles to Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman, then a two-bagger to Rushing to score two and give the visitors the lead. Ohtani was given an intentional walk. The move paid off, as Ohtani became part of a twin killing that ended the frame. But the damage was done, and the lead was lost.
Not for long. Bryan De La Cruz sent a fastball flying towards the greenery of the batter’s eye as the first batter in the Phillie fifth. Andy Pages stretched out his arm, and for a moment it looked as if he’d come down with it. Like a bank robber foiled by the dye packs in a sack of cash, his would-be burglary was foiled at the last second, with the ball glancing off his leather and landing safely over the fence to tie the game. Bryson Stott doubled, but was put out on a baserunning blunder; dredging up some bad memories from the not-so-distant past.

BLAINE, MINNESOTA - JULY 27: Kurt Kitayama of the United States poses with the Elemental Swing trophy after putting in to win on the 18th green during the final round of the 3M Open 2025 at TPC Twin Cities on July 27, 2025 in Blaine, Minnesota. (Photo by David Berding/Getty Images)
The golf world is coming off the final major of the season, the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club last weekend. The dramatic finish, which ended in Ryan Fox claiming victory, has left the next few tournaments on the schedule in the wake of such an important tournament.
Typically, the top players in the game take the week off after a major, unless it is a signature event. However, with the PGA Tour having already completed their eight signature events this year, tournaments that remain between the Open Championship and the FedEx Cup Playoffs remain ones which are filled with players trying to improve their status.
When you look at a tournament such as the 3M Open, it usually lacks the firepower of other tournaments which players have the option of playing; however, this year the 3M open got a boost when the world's top golfer, Scottie Scheffler, entered the field.
Why Scheffler is choosing to play in what most considered a bottom tier event is anyone's guess, but it does provide some star power to the field.

Jennifer Aniston's signature style is built on timeless wardrobe staples like white tees, relaxed denim, maxi dresses, and sleek black gowns that always feel polished yet effortless.
The actress relies on simple styling formulas—think wedges, pendant necklaces, aviator sunglasses, and neutral accessories—to make minimalist outfits feel elevated and endlessly wearable.
From tailored **** on-downs to cargo pants and jumpsuits, Aniston proves that repeating versatile basics and refining your personal uniform is the key to mastering quiet luxury style.
There are A-listers with trend-forward closets, and then there are celebrities who quietly define an entire approach to getting dressed. Jennifer Aniston has long fallen into the latter category. Across decades of red carpets, paparazzi shots, and off-duty outings, the actress has built a wardrobe rooted in simplicity, consistency, and fine-tuned minmalism. While today's sartorial tastemakers often swing between maximalism and fleeting trend cycles, Aniston's fashion philosophy has remained remarkably steady: sleek tailoring, effortless denim, timeless black dresses, and elevated basics that never feel overdone.
Part of what makes her style so enduring is its wearability. Whether she's stepping onto an awards-show carpet in a formal gown or grabbing coffee in relaxed jeans and a white tank, there's always an ease to her outfits that feels polished without being unattainable. And over the years, she's developed a handful of signature styling formulas she returns to again and again—proof that personal style is less about constantly reinventing yourself and more about refining what already works.

Ever since her 1994 breakthrough in the sitcom "Friends," Jennifer Aniston's hair has been a topic of discussion. Today, the star is best known for her long, layered blond locks, but the truth is that her natural hair color and texture are rather different from her signature look. As the stunning hair transformation of Jennifer Aniston shows, back in the early '90s, the star was actually rocking her naturally wavy brown hair.

Side-by-side photos of Aniston in 1990 and 1997 showcase just how different that star looks. In fact, the "Horrible Bosses" actor is easily among the celebs who are nearly unrecognizable with their natural hair color, as we've gotten so used to seeing Aniston with sun-kissed blond hair. In a video promoting her haircare brand LolaVie posted on her Instagram in January 2026, the actor responded to the question of whether she would ever dye her hair brown. "Would I ever go brunette? I am brunette," Aniston revealed, adding that she would absolutely go back to her natural color.
As far as her natural hair texture goes, in November 2019, hairstylist Chris McMillan shared a snapshot of Aniston rocking beachy waves to a red carpet event, revealing in the Instagram caption that he actually used the actor's natural hair texture for the look. "The hair is Jen's natural curl and waves," McMillan wrote, adding some details regarding treatment: "Dried natural and touched up minimally with blow drying the roots for direction and touching up random pieces with a wave iron." Speaking to Glamour in the same year, Aniston admitted her preference regarding her own hair. "I love my hair when it's straight," the actor shared, adding that she only noticed she had curls when she cut her hair shorter as a younger girl.

Fulham are preparing to hijack Leeds United’s pursuit of Southampton midfielder Shea Charles, with the Premier League side readying a formal £24 million bid to beat their domestic rivals to the 22-year-old’s signature. Daniel Farke is at Elland Road.
The West London club have moved aggressively after a protracted transfer impasse between Leeds and Southampton. Leeds manager Daniel Farke had identified Charles as a top midfield priority for his summer rebuild, but the Yorkshire club have hit a significant boardroom wall, with three formal offers rejected as Southampton hold firm for £25 million plus add-ons.
Spotting an opportunity to outmanoeuvre Leeds, new Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa has given the green light for the club’s recruitment staff to submit an immediate £24 million opening proposal. Fulham’s pitch offers Charles an instant return to Premier League football, along with a defined tactical role in Arbeloa’s midfield plans.
For Southampton, balancing the books has become essential following their failure to secure Premier League promotion. As a Manchester City academy graduate and an established Northern Ireland international, Charles is one of St Mary’s most valuable financial ****** ets. Speculation around his future intensified this week after he was left out of Southampton’s pre-season opener against Eastleigh, further fuelling expectations of an imminent departure.
With Crystal Palace also monitoring the situation, Fulham are keen to accelerate formal negotiations in the coming days before Leeds can return with an improved fourth offer.

Villa do have some competition for Garnacho's signature with AS Roma said to be keen on the 22-year-old however the Premier League side have the financial advantage.
Garnacho struggled to show his best form in his debut season for Chelsea last season after arriving from Manchester United but still managed eight goals and four ***** ists in 43 games across all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur are growing increasingly confident of beating North London rivals ****** nal to the signature of West Ham United academy prodigy Isaac Allen. Roberto De Zerbi, Mikel Arteta and Nuno Espirito Santo are at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Emirates Stadium and London Stadium respectively. Spurs have moved swiftly to hijack a deal for the 15-year-old defensive midfielder, aiming to deliver a significant developmental blow to their neighbours.
This escalation marks a dramatic twist in the race for one of English football’s most coveted teenage prospects. ****** nal had spent weeks actively pursuing Allen, identifying the highly rated youngster as a priority for their Hale End academy. Gunners recruitment staff held extensive talks with the player’s camp, looking to secure his services as part of Mikel Arteta’s plan to integrate top domestic youth into the club’s long-term pathway.
However, Tottenham’s recruitment team has launched an aggressive counter-move in recent days. Spurs are reportedly very optimistic about reaching an agreement to bring Allen to Hotspur Way, having presented a clear pathway to senior football. With Tynan Thompson recently leaving Spurs for Manchester United in an £8 million deal, Tottenham are eager to replenish their academy ranks with elite domestic talent.
Losing Allen represents a painful double blow in the capital. For West Ham, the departure of their youth starlet is a bitter pill to swallow. The Hammers had hoped to tie down the England Under-15 captain to long-term scholarship terms at Chadwell Heath, but with the player seeking a fresh challenge, the East London club are now focused on securing maximum training compensation.
Allen’s stock has risen sharply over the past year, thanks to his tactical discipline, composure, and natural leadership qualities. Having captained England’s U15 squad, he is widely regarded by top-flight scouts as a generational anchor in the making.

How popular are Costco's gas pumps? The chain had to open its own standalone gas station, apart from the store, just to accommodate customer demand. The retailer is now pumping gas at a station in Southern California, with a second station planned for Honolulu, the Wall Street Journal reports. Both sit a mile or two from the nearest warehouse.
"They're really intended to either alleviate some of the capacity constraints in the gas station that exists at the warehouse today or we just can't get a gas station on the same premises," said Costco CFO Gary Millerchip. The stations will keep Costco's signature discounted pricing, as fuel prices continue to rise.
CEO Ron Vachris told investors the five weeks ending mid-May were the highest gas-sales weeks in company history, pulling in members using Costco's pumps for the first time. Those first-time fuel customers tend to spend more overall, he added.
Costco has had another retail win lately, too. Sales for a retro 1980's Esprit fleece crewneck completely sold out over the weekend. Whether it's filling up the tank or the closet, Costco members are getting their fill this month.

De'Aaron Fox is putting more than his name on his latest signature sneaker - he's putting his story on it.
The San Antonio Spurs guard has teamed up with Under Armour and Sharpie on a special Fox 2 colorway featuring hand-drawn artwork inspired by the people, memories and moments that have shaped his life.
The Sharpie x Under Armour Fox 2 will be released July 23 for $130.
Rather than designing just another colorway, Fox said he wanted the sneaker to reflect who he is.
"Some of the sketches on here - you see the fox, obviously, playing off my last name. My logo's in it, basketball, Swiper," Fox said.

Transfer windows thrive on the domino effect. One move triggers another, a sudden phone call reshapes two squads at once, and suddenly a frozen deal thaws out. Goodison Park might be about to benefit from exactly that kind of chain reaction. Tottenham full-back Djed Spence is firmly on the radar, and the key to unlocking his signature sits in north London.
According to former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness, via Transfer Feed, the whole situation hinges on Spurs completing a deal for Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams. Speak to Wyness, and the picture becomes clear. If that deal crosses the line, Spence gets the green light to head to Merseyside.
Wyness ran things at Goodison between 2004 and 2009. He understands the mechanics of these negotiations. Now running a football consultancy advising elite teams, he can see a transfer chain taking shape. He believes Spurs might change their mind about whether they even need to fill the position, and that Spence himself looks ready for a fresh start somewhere else.
Spurs want Williams. That is the catalyst. Wyness thinks that if that specific piece falls into place, Spence will arrive at Everton at some stage this summer. It makes perfect sense. Football is transactional. One comes in, another departs. Tottenham are playing hardball over the fee, though. Separate reports show they want at least £40m to let him walk. Spence is locked into a contract until June 2029, meaning Peter Carrington holds all the leverage. Everton will have to find serious cash to get Tottenham to the negotiating table.
David Moyes has a massive problem to solve. Seamus Coleman has departed. The right-back slot is empty, exposed, and glaringly vulnerable. Anyone watching the back line last season could see the gap. Spence offers something Moyes loves: Versatility. He can play on the right or slot into the left-back role. He gives options. Managers crave that flexibility during a tough Premier League campaign.

West Ham have agreed a £68 million deal to sell winger Crysencio Summerville to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.
This figure represents a significant increase on the £39 million bid previously understood to have been made by Serie A side Roma, with Manchester United and Aston Villa also having shown interest in the 24-year-old.
Summerville, who still has three years remaining on his contract at the London Stadium, has been widely expected to depart following West Ham's relegation from the Premier League in May.
While United and Villa were keen to keep him in the top flight, Roma had appeared closest to securing his signature before the Saudi club's considerably higher offer.
The Netherlands international is now expected to undergo a medical and finalise a long-term contract.

Summerville, who still has three years remaining on his contract at the London Stadium, has been widely expected to depart following West Ham's relegation from the Premier League in May.
While United and Villa were keen to keep him in the top flight, Roma had appeared closest to securing his signature before the Saudi club's considerably higher offer.
The Netherlands international is now expected to undergo a medical and finalise a long-term contract.
