The brand is also named an Official Mobility Partner of the PGA TOUR, signaling an expanded collaboration that reflects Hyundai Motor Group's broader vision and growing global footprint.
As part of launching the multi-year agreement, Genesis also becomes the first sponsor of the PGA TOUR's World Feed, a milestone underscoring the brand's global presence. The World Feed debuted earlier this year to deliver unprecedented, exclusive content to professional golf fans across the globe. In addition, Genesis will be prominently featured through dynamic, year-round content and immersive on-site activations at select tournaments, further establishing its position as a leader in the automotive industry and deepening its connection with the professional golf community.

The program debuts ahead of the third round of the Rocket Classic Saturday, June 28, at 2:30 PM ET on CBS, with additional distribution across PGA TOUR social and FAST channels.
"We are honored to launch this expanded global official marketing partnership with Genesis as the PGA TOUR's first global Official Vehicle, a complement to its title sponsorship of two proud legacy events in professional golf in The Genesis Invitational and the Genesis Scottish Open," said Rick Anderson, PGA TOUR Chief Commercial Officer. "The PGA TOUR's World Feed is ushering in the next era of golf media with the support of a steadfast global partner in Genesis, which shares in our desire to more deeply chronicle the stories of our international athletes. We're grateful for Genesis' ongoing commitment to the game of golf and are excited to continue building upon our decade-long partnership in the years ahead."
"Genesis is honored to become the first-ever global official vehicle sponsor of the PGA TOUR. This milestone reflects the deep trust and shared vision between our two organizations, built over years of partnership. Together, we are committed to delivering excellence—whether through enhancing the experience for players, caddies, and fans, or supporting meaningful initiatives like California Rises," said José Muñoz, President and CEO of Genesis. "We're excited to expand our global reach through the PGA TOUR World Feed and continue making a positive impact in the golf community and beyond."
The World Feed—originating from PGA TOUR Studios, the TOUR's newly opened content facility—is produced and curated exclusively for international media partners and their viewers, with weekly on-site commentators, a customized graphics package and up to six dedicated cameras at FedExCup events focused on international players.
The live telecast—which formally launched in March at THE PLAYERS Championship—is the first step toward producing localized live feeds curated exclusively for international media partners and their viewers and a major step toward enhancing the international fan experience. The World Feed continues this week at Detroit Golf Club and the Rocket Classic.
The PGA TOUR and Genesis have been partners since 2015, when the luxury automotive brand first signed on as an Official Sponsor of the Presidents Cup in South Korea and later the title sponsor of the historic Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, one of the TOUR's longest running events. Genesis has been sponsoring the event since 2017, shortly after the launch of the Genesis brand in the U.S. market. Following several successful seasons operating the tournament alongside Tiger Woods and the TGR Foundation, Genesis added to its portfolio title sponsorship of the Genesis Scottish Open starting in 2022, the first co-sanctioned event by the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour. The brand is also a founding partner and official automotive partner of TGL, the Official Automobile Sponsor of numerous Presidents Cups and title sponsor of the Genesis Championship, co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and the KPGA TOUR.

Collin Morikawa lashes out at reporter over caddie change article: ‘Don't put me down like that'
Collin Morikawa isn't happy with one lontime golf reporter. The two-time major champion went off on Golfweek's Adam Schupak during a press conference Wednesday, apparently taking exception to a quote in an article written about the golfer's most recent caddie change. 'Ask me anything you want in my press conference later, I'm with my pro-am partners now,' Morikawa was quoted saying in Schupak's report, which has since been updated to include the golfer's most recent comments, according to Awful Announcing. 3 Collin Morikawa of the United States during a Pro-Am prior to the Rocket Classic 2025 at Detroit Golf Club on June 25, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. Getty Images Morikawa confirmed Wednesday he's moving on from caddie Joe Greiner after just five tournaments together, replacing him with former California teammate KK Limbhasut for this week's Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club. He had a testy, long-winded response when Schupak finally got the chance to ask about the abrupt switch. 3 Collin Morikawa and caddie Joe Greiner. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'I don't,' Morikawa said when asked if he knew who would be his caddie at the British Open in July. 'And I read your article that you wrote. Look, I'm not here to tell people how to do their jobs, but I don't get why you would make me sound bad because you put out my quote that I was playing with pro-am partners out front. 'Those guys are paying a lot of money, they're very important to the community, they're very important to the Rocket Classic, and for you to put out a quote like that to put me down and saying, 'Hey, wait two-and-a-half hours,'' Morikawa continued. 'I mean, you called me up on the first tee, you know? I'm not going to tell you how to do your job. You can write whatever you want. This is America. But don't put me down like that because it's two and a half hours, Adam.' Schupak responded: 'I thought I was actually giving you credit that you were playing, you were focused on your pro-am partners.' 'Okay, we can all read it very differently. That's not how I read it,' Morikawa replied. 'But I'm just telling you, I think there's a perspective where people can read it like that. So, I'm just going to leave it at that. We knew I was going to have media in two-and-a-half hours. I'm on the first tee meeting my pro-am partners as they're teeing off.' Morikawa's media spat comes as he's struggled by his high standards on the course. 3 Collin Morikawa of the United States and his caddie during a Pro-Am prior to the Rocket Classic 2025 at Detroit Golf Club on June 25, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan.

Fowler, Morikawa and Bradley share course expectations ahead of 2025 Rocket Classic
Many of the PGA's top golfers are already in Detroit for Wednesday's Pro Am ahead of the 2025 Rocket Classic. The field might be the tournament's strongest one yet, featuring regulars like Cam Davis and Ricky Fowler, as well as the 2025 Travelers Championship winner Keegan Bradley. Bradley admits this tournament is all about late-round drama. To get to that point, these pros will have to take advantage of a soft course in Round 1 on Thursday to get ahead of this relatively crowded field. "Coming off a couple weeks where you have Oakmont. Very, very challenging, to an old school golf course where you're going to have to make some birdies. It's exciting," said 2023 runner-up Collin Morikawa. Like most years, Bradley says he expects the 2025 Rocket Classic to be a low-scoring fight that will remain close through Sunday's back nine. "This tournament creates a lot of excitement and drama in the back nine. A lot can happen with eagles, birdies, a lot of par fives, a lot of par threes. It always creates an exciting finish," said Bradley, who is a 2025 Ryder Cup captain. Fowler, who was the 2023 tournament champion, knows the course well, especially the soft conditions from Wednesday's Pro Am. He says it would be nice if that could change once the tournament starts. "It would be fun to see it stay dry and see this course kind of bake out and get firm. Typically, we've had storms and wet conditions here, and that's why you see scores very low with how receptive the course and the greens can be," Fowler said. Bradley and Morikawa will group with Patrick Cantlay on Thursday, while Fowler will golf alongside Matt Fitzpatrick and Akshay Bhatia, who finished tied for second in 2024.

Craft Telemedicine Launches to Redefine Specialty Care with Human-Centered
Revolutionary no-subscription telemedicine model gives patients complete control over specialized compounded medications and pharmacy choice TULSA, Okla., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Craft Telemedicine today announced the official launch of its innovative telemedicine platform that eliminates subscription models and empowers patients with unprecedented choice and transparency in their healthcare decisions. Unlike traditional telehealth platforms that lock patients into monthly subscriptions and limited pharmacy networks, Craft Telemedicine operates on a pay-per-prescription model. Patients pay one transparent fee to receive their prescription and maintain complete freedom to fill it at any pharmacy of their choice. "Clarity is a form of care," said Arlee Riveland, CEO and Co-Founder. "I didn't set out to found a healthcare company, but I did set out to build human-centered tools that solve real problems. And this one matters." Addressing Critical Access Gaps Craft Telemedicine launches with high-quality compounded medications, beginning with Low-Dose Naltrexone and Methylene Blue—specialized treatments often difficult to access through traditional healthcare channels. "When patients search for Methylene Blue online, they're flooded with options that range from aquarium treatments to industrial dyes," said Jack Korbutov, Co-Founder and pharmacist at The Art of Medicine. "Many people don't realize that what they're buying isn't pharmaceutical-grade and heavy metal-free. This could actually be harmful." The platform was built in partnership with The Art of Medicine to ensure patients receive pharmaceutical-grade compounded medications with rigorous quality standards. The founding team includes Stephen Stearman, who brings extensive healthcare entrepreneurship experience through his leadership of multiple healthcare companies under the Craft Health Group. Expanding Nationwide Network Craft Telemedicine is actively seeking partnerships with high-quality compounding pharmacies nationwide, positioning itself as the preferred telemedicine platform for pharmacies seeking to grow their patient base without compromising their values or independence. "We're building a network of trusted compounding pharmacies that share our commitment to quality and patient care," explained Riveland. "We're not just delivering prescriptions—we're restoring agency to patients." The platform is currently available in 25 states with plans to serve all 50 states by 2026. Patients can access the platform at with transparent, pay-per-prescription pricing and no subscription fees.
