Elvis Smylie will defend his Australian PGA Championship title with record prizemoney up for grabs
Elvis Smylie has had a tough time in his first season in Europe but has locked in a return to the place where he enjoyed the biggest moment of his fledgling career. The defending Australian PGA champion will be returning to fight for record prizemoney at Royal Queensland in November having outlasted Cameron Smith to secure the title in 2024. Smylie also overcame a pace-of-play warning from officials as he and Smith, playing together in the final pairing, walked onto the 17th tee. A two-shot victory earnt the 23-year-old left-hander, who is the son of Australian tennis great Liz Smylie, his DP World Tour card and a spot in this month's Open Championship at Royal Port Rush. Smylie has recorded two top-20 finishes in Europe this year but missed the cut at his past two events, and while there's 'a lot to play out' in 2025, he's already excited about coming home to defend his title. 'Winning the Joe Kirkwood Cup for the first time was a huge honour and definitely the highlight of my career so far,' Smylie said. 'I have some great memories of that final Sunday. It meant so much to win at home in front of my family and friends in one of Australia's most important championships. 'Although there's still a lot of this year to play out, I can't wait to get back to RQ and try to do it all again.' Last week, the PGA of Australia announced a $500,000 bump in prizemoney to $2.5m, more than the prizemoney on offer at the Australian Open the following week where Rory McIlroy will be the headline act at Royal Melbourne Golf Club. The boost in the prize pool, as well as continued co-sanctioning with the DP World Tour, could help boost the quality of the field this year, with headliners likely to again include Smith and Min Woo Lee as well as Adam Scott, who skipped the two Australian events last summer.

Photos prove $450m couple is living the dream
Power couple Serena Williams and tech giant husband Alexis Ohanian are winning at life. The pair, with a net worth valued at around $450 million, were last week spotted enjoying a summer escape while the eye of the tennis world turns towards Wimbledon. The couple's fearless flashes of flesh during a day out on a luxurious, private yacht off the coast of Sardinia are making headlines for all the right reasons. The couple, who are proud parents of daughters Olympia, seven, and baby Adira, looked completely at ease as they soaked in the sun and fun off the picturesque Italian island.

Tennis icon Williams looked exactly the sort of mum her fans believed she would be when she retired from the sport in 2022. As reported by Backgrid, the 43-year-old was seen covering up in a chic green halterneck over her swimwear. After drying off, the family switched things up with a playful dress-up session, donning whimsical period style costumes with little Olympia stealing the show in a puff sleeved gown. Between the sun, sea, and laughter, the Williams-Ohanian clan looked to be making the most of their Sardinian summer escape. Ohanian has particularly caused a stir with photos of his proud dad bod spreading across cyberspace. The luxury getaway is the stuff most families can only dream of. The 39-year-old has had plenty to celebrate recently. The Reddit co-founder earlier this year confirmed he scored a $50 million windfall from an early bet on cryptocurrencies. The American tech entrepreneur married Williams, who finished her career with 23 grand slam singles titles to her name, in 2017. The couple celebrated the arrival of their second daughter Adira River in August, 2023. The Olympian shocked fans with her pregnancy in May by showing up to the Met Gala with her baby bump on display. While she was never able to complete her final tennis dream of equalling Aussie tennis legend Margaret Court's record of 24 grand slam titles, Williams and her husband are clearly winning in retirement.

Verstappen contract clause exposes Red Bull escape route in F1 nightmare
Max Verstappen's championship hopes are all but over and his F1 future is up in the air following a DNF at the Austrian Grand Prix. Lando Norris withstood a late charge from McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win the race at the Red Bull Ring and trim the Aussie's championship lead to 15 points. But it was a dirty day for Verstappen, who started seventh and came unstuck on the opening lap when Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli shunted into him, pushing him off track and ending his race. Fox Sports, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every practice, qualifying session and race in the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship™ LIVE in 4K. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. The Dutchman was fuming on team radio, saying: 'I'm out. I got hit like crazy. F***ing idiots.' Antonelli said 'sorry about that. I locked the rear, sorry' and apologised to Verstappen as they got out of their cars. The teenage Mercedes whiz kid went to the Red Bull hospitality area to further apologise to the four-time world champion. Despite having Red Bull's home race ruined, Verstappen sounded surprisingly philosophical as he fell 61 points behind championship leader Piastri. 'I just asked (Antonelli) what happened, because he was the only car that was there with me, with his wheel hanging off, so I'm pretty sure that he hit me,' Verstappen said. 'Then, of course, I saw the footage once I came back and it happens, you know? I mean, every driver has made a mistake like that. Everyone has made a mistake like that in their careers. 'Kimi is a very big talent, so he'll learn from that. 'For me, it was already a racing incident because I saw what happened. No one does these things on purpose. It can happen.' Verstappen handling the gut punch in such placid, accepting fashion is something most F1 fans have never seen before. Verstappen's DNF snuffed out any faint hope he had of contending for the drivers' title, which is now a 13-race battle between Norris and Piastri. But Red Bull is at a crossroads as their downfall continues — they are fourth in the constructors' standings, 46 points behind Mercedes and 255 points behind McLaren. The curse on Red Bull's No. 2 driver continues, with Yuki Tsunoda finishing 16th in Austria — the last of the drivers who completed the race. The man he replaced earlier this season, Kiwi Liam Lawson, finished sixth in Austria and has already moved ahead of Tsunoda in the standings by two points. Sky Sports pit lane reporter Ted Kravitz: 'What happens when Max Verstappen is bundled out of the race by Kimi Antonelli at the start? Well, they have nobody, it seems, in the other car. 'This second Red Bull is near undriveable. It's probably the same or identical as the other Red Bull, but no one can drive it. 'It's not Yuki Tsunoda's fault, it wasn't Liam Lawson's fault. It wasn't Sergio Perez's fault. It wasn't Daniel Ricciardo's fault. It's the car. This car, set up the way it is, it's only drivable by one person. 'But if Max Verstappen isn't driving your car because he goes out (of the race) or he's not in the team anymore, then what are you left with? An drivable car that nobody can drive or score any points (with). 'It's not the drivers, it's the car. There's no point binning off Yuki Tsunoda now because it's not his fault. 'They have to think of something because heaven forbid if Max leaves this team, they're gonna finish last.' Verstappen rumour that won't go away There is a growing sense Red Bull's house is on fire and it's about to come burning down. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has expressed an interest in poaching Verstappen, who is contracted with Red Bull until 2028. George Russell is out of contract this year but Mercedes are yet to give the Brit a contract extension following his win at the Canadian Grand Prix. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner did his best to shut down the 'noise' surrounding Verstappen's future. 'It's a lot of noise,' Horner told Sky sports pre-race. 'I think Max gets quite annoyed by it and we're very clear with the contract that we have with Max until 2028, so anything is entirely speculative that is being said. 'But we tend not to pay too much attention to it.' It comes amid reports Verstappen had a clause in his contract that would have allowed him to leave Red Bull had he fallen outside the top four in the drivers standings after the Austrian Grand Prix. There are conflicting reports over whether that clause stipulates Verstappen can leave Red Bull if he's outside the top two in the standings. Verstappen is currently third in the standings, nine points ahead of Russell. 'We do believe that this race is important for his future, or this period in time,' F1 journalist Julianne Cerasoli said ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix. 'At the end of June, an exit clause will kick in, releasing him from his Red Bull contract. 'There was a report saying if he was in the top four, then he couldn't leave. That's not what I heard. 'What I've kept hearing for the last few months is that it's the top two. At the moment, he's in third position, and he doesn't look like he's going to be in the top two by the end of this weekend. Horner cut a forlorn figure after the Austrian Grand Prix as McLaren looked light years ahead of their rivals on track. But he took a swipe at Mercedes after Russell claimed the Silver Arrows were putting off contract talks in a bid to steal Verstappen. 'I think they've got their own problems,' Horner said about Mercedes. 'They were 62 seconds behind the race leader today. So Mercedes have got their own issues. 'We're just focused on ourselves. We know what the situation is with Max. We know what the contracts are with Max, and the rest is all noise that's not coming from here.' 'I still believe that we have strength and depth in this team that, unfortunately, we haven't seen the performance come that we would like. 'We're at the end of a set of regulations. I think we are compromised by some of the tools that we have. But it's the same fundamental group of people that 18 months ago, had designed a car that won every single grand prix (in a season) bar one. They didn't suddenly just become idiots overnight. 'You have to acknowledge the great job that McLaren are doing, and congratulations to them. But you know, it's for us, it's not about working harder, because everybody's working incredibly hard, it's just working smarter. Let's see over the next few races. 'I think this season, the buffer that they (McLaren) have is significant so it looks very much like a two-horse race. 'For us, we just focus on every single grand prix and try and grab every opportunity, like we did in Montreal. 'A couple of weeks ago, we were second, ahead of the McLarens. As I say, the Mercedes today, last week's race winner, was 62 seconds behind the race winner being caught by the Sauber. 'So it shows how it shifts around.'
