From Montecarlo to Rome, LPGA players slayed their vacations, including three engagements
Lauren Coughlin, defending champion at this week's ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open, went home to Sweden with Maja Stark to unwind before a two-week stretch in the United Kingdom that culminates with the season's final major in Wales. Last year, the two friends squared off against each other in a Solheim Cup singles match that was so tight they halved.
"Had a lot of fun," said Coughlin of staying with Stark's family in the tiny town of Abbekas. "Played a couple rounds of golf in Sweden, and got to experience sailing and her kind of small village that she lives in, so it was very cool."
Japan's Yuri Yoshida toured Belgium while the Jutanugarn sisters enjoyed the Swiss Alps with their mom. Several players even got engaged.
Yealimi Noh, who began 2025 with her first career LPGA victory at the Founders Cup, will no doubt tee it up in this week's Scottish with a bright smile on her face after getting engaged to Jackson Suh.
Noh wasn't alone in having a life-changing moment last week. Gigi Stoll proposed to her partner in stunning Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.
Former AIG Women's British Open winner Georgia Hall announced her engagement to Paul Dunne, a former winner on the DP World Tour who has caddied for her on the LPGA. The couple posted a photograph from Gleneagles.
Meanwhile, Andrea Lee spent the week in Bordeaux after taking a share of fifth at Evian, her fourth career top-10 in a major.
Cassie Porter stayed in France for a family vacation, taking an epic photo in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Nanna Koerstz Madsen spent time in Rome, touring the Colosseum.
Madelene Sagstrom went home to Sweden to spend time with her family doing her absolute favorite thing: picking mushrooms in the forest.
Rookie Rio Takeda took in the sights in Paris and London.
Former No. 1 Jin Young Ko turned 30 last week at Evian and then kept the good vibes going in Montecarlo.

Juventus confirm official Weah sale figures to Olympique Marseille
A Juventus formal statement confirmed the official figures paid by Olympique Marseille to sign Timothy Weah, a minimum of €15.4m plus €4.1m add-ons. The transfer was completed last night after the player flew in for a medical, where he was greeted by crowds of fans at the airport. As Juve are floated on the stock exchange, they must release precise financial details of their purchases and sales, giving an unusual level of transparency in the football transfer market. Weah sold to Marseille for minimum €6m profit epa11712328 Juventus' Timothy Weah celebrates after scoring the 1-0 goal during the Italian Serie A soccer match between Juventus FC and Torino FC, in Turin, Italy, 09 November 2024. EPA-EFE/ALESSANDRO DI MARCO We are therefore able to confirm that Olympique Marseille are paying €1m for the one-season loan, with an obligation to buy at the end of the season for a further €14.4m if certain conditions are met. That fee is payable over four instalments and can be bolstered by an additional €4.1m in performance-related bonuses. Juventus therefore make a €6m profit on the sale of Weah, who had been purchased from LOSC for €11m in the summer of 2023. The USMNT star made 78 competitive appearances in the Bianconeri jersey, scoring seven goals with seven assists.

Adrian Dunbar shares Line of Duty series 7 update
The star of the BBC drama told This Morning he called his agent to find out "more news". What did you miss? News just in from Adrian Dunbar - the Line of Duty star has revealed he got an update on series seven as recently as this morning (7 August), but it contradicts his recent comments about the show's future. Appearing on This Morning on Thursday, 7 August, Dunbar was in the studio to talk about ITV detective show Ridley. But it wasn't long before hosts Joel Dommett and Emma Willis gave in to temptation and asked him about BBC hit Line of Duty. Since the series six finale in 2021, fans have been obsessing over whether there will be another instalment, with varying responses from key cast members Dunbar, Vicky McClure and Martin Compston. But despite his recent confirmation that series seven was on the way, Dunbar told Dommett and Willis he had called his agent about the show just hours earlier and had been told "there isn't any more real definite news". What, how and why? Dunbar might have been a guest on ITV's This Morning to talk about the broadcaster's own cop show starring him, Ridley, but even the hosts couldn't resist steering the conversation towards his BBC police procedural hit Line of Duty. He plays Ted Hastings alongside McClure as Kate Fleming and Compston as Steve Arnott in the hugely successful drama from Jed Mercurio about police corruption investigators AC-12 and fans are desperate for news of whether there will ever be a seventh series. Willis asked him of his co-stars over the years: "Do you have favourites?" and Dunbar delighted Line of Duty fans everywhere by replying: "Vicky and Martin, obviously." It nicely teed up a question about the show's future and Dunbar said: "When it happens, yes, absolutely we'll be excited to go back." But he continued: "We actually don't know if it's going to happen. I actually called my agent this morning to see was there any more news, but there isn't any more real definite news about it sadly, so we're just going to have to wait. "Everybody wants to know that it's happening, and so do we."

First series was great, second series just took off with Keeley (Hawes) and Craig Parkinson and it just started to build from there. "Because of the twists and turns, I think nobody wanted to come into work on Monday and not know what had happened in Line of Duty over the weekend. You had to know, so that just built and then it became a thing. We didn't really realise that it would get to these sort of heights, but it's great that it has." What has Adrian Dunbar said about Line of Duty 7 before? The actor's most recent comments will be a disappointment to fans after implying in an interview just a week earlier that the show's return was imminent. Dunbar had told The Times: "We're really excited about getting our hands on a Line of Duty script, to see what happens to us. Jed is writing. We've talked to the BBC. It is down to the BBC to make an announcement, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that next year we'll be working on a new series. No doubt Jed will think of some interesting twists and turns." He had also acknowledged viewers' issues with the big series six reveal that bungling cop Ian Buckells was crime lord H, a question that had plagued the drama since series one and which many thought was an anticlimactic result. Dunbar said: "When you find out it is this idiot, Buckells, it is so frustrating. There is a scene where the three of us are told who it is, and we look at each other and go, 'What?' We asked Jed to write that scene because we realised how our audience would feel. "But Jed's point was that police corruption can hang on one cop deciding to ignore one piece of information that comes across his desk." This Morning airs on ITV1 at 10am on weekdays.

PSG dominate list of men's Ballon D'Or nominees
For the second straight year, the 2025 Ballon d'Or will have a new winner after Rodri failed to make the list of 30 nominees dominated by Paris Saint-Germain released on Thursday The Manchester City midfielder had already suffered a knee ligament injury ending his season by the time he won the 2024 award last October. Lionel Messi, who won the last of his eight awards in 2023, is not on the list, nor is five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo. PSG, who claimed the Champions League in commanding fashion, have nine nominees. Barcelona, who won a Spanish league and cup double, are represented by four players including the youngest, Lamine Yamal, who has just turned 18, and the oldest, 36-year-old Robert Lewandowski. Real Madrid, who boycotted last year's ceremonies claiming to be outraged that Rodri was prefered to Vinicius, have three nominees, including the Brazilian. Napoli are rewarded for winning Italy's Serie A with one selection, Scott McTominay, who becomes the first Scottish nominee since Ally McCoist in 1987. Should he win he would become the first player from Diego Maradona's former club to win the award and only the second Scot, after Denis Law in 1964. The winner will be unveiled on September 22 at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. The complete list of 30 nominees: Ousmane Dembele (FRA/PSG), Gianluigi Donnarumma (ITA/PSG), Jude Bellingham (ENG/Real Madrid), Desire Doue (FRA/PSG), Denzel Dumfries (NED/Inter Milan), Serhou Guirassy (GUI/Dortmund), Erling Haaland (NOR/Manchester City), Viktor Gyokeres (SWE/Arsenal), Achraf Hakimi (MAR/PSG), Harry Kane (ENG/Bayern), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (GEO/PSG), Robert Lewandowski (POL/Barcelona), Alexis Mac Allister (ARG/Liverpool), Lautaro Martinez (ARG/Inter Milan), Scott McTominay (SCO/Naples), Kylian Mbappe (FRA/Real Madrid), Nuno Mendes (POR/PSG), Joao Neves (POR/PSG), Pedri (ESP/Barcelona), Cole Palmer (ENG/Chelsea), Michael Olise (FRA/Bayern), Raphinha (BRA/Barcelona), Declan Rice (ENG/Arsenal), Fabian Ruiz (SCO/PSG), Virgil van Dijk (NED/Liverpool), Vinicius (BRA/Real Madrid), Mohamed Salah (EGY/Liverpool), Florian Wirtz (GER/Liverpool), Vitinha (POR/PSG), Lamine Yamal (ESP/Barcelona). sit/fbx/pb/nr
