Zelensky gives Trump a golf putter
President Trump is putting a new flat stick in his golf bag, courtesy of a Ukrainian soldier who shares his love for the game and delivered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky presented Trump with a new blade-style putter during his visit to The White House on Monday. The Ukrainian leader told the president that the club was given to him by Kostiantyn Kartavtsev, a junior sergeant in Ukraine's Armed Forces. The solider lost a leg in the first months of Russia's full-scale invasion, according to the Ukrainian government, noting golf became part of Kartavtsev's rehabilitation and helped him regain balance 'both physically and mentally.' Trump recorded a video for the Ukrainian fighter thanking him for the gift. 'I just watched you swing, I know a lot about golf, and your swing is great. You're going to be a very good golfer soon,' he told the soldier in the clip making the rounds online with Ukrainian subtitles. 'I want to thank you for this putter … is made with real love from you.' The president encouraged the Ukrainian soldier to keep playing golf and said he and Zelensky are working 'very, very hard to bring your country back to health.' 'The putter is beautiful, thank you. Every time I sink a putt I'll be thinking about you,' he quipped. Zelensky traveled to Washington to meet with Trump and European leaders as the U.S. helps to facilitate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia amid the ongoing war in Eastern Europe. An avid golfer who owns courses and resorts around the world, Trump was in Scotland earlier this month for the grand opening of his newest property at Turnberry. The PGA Tour also announced Tuesday that it would return to the president's Doral resort in Florida next May, marking the first time the sport's premier league has held an event at a Trump property since 2016.

Exclusive: Pro Golfer Justin Thomas on His Favorite Places—From the Best Golf Courses to His Dreamy Babymoon Destination
As one of golf's top-ranked pros, Justin Thomas has long been taking swings around the world, whether traveling to his favorite courses, Northern Ireland's Royal County Down or Australia's Royal Melbourne, or those he finds more challenging, like Pennsylvania's Oakmont or New Jersey's Pine Valley. Though he calls Florida home, he spent extra time on Garden State greens recently while filming his big-screen debut in this summer's blockbuster comedy, "Happy Gilmore 2," in which he played a photo-snapping version of himself. Spending such a big chunk of the year traveling on the PGA Tour, where he's notched an impressive 16 career wins, the father to a 9-month-old with wife Jillian now cherishes the simpler moments. 'They hit it spot-on in the movie—your happy place changes,' the 34-year-old tells Travel + Leisure. 'Right now, mine is a full night's sleep for Molly, no whining or crying throughout the night—all the old people stuff.' The couple's little one has already become a seasoned traveler, accompanying her famous dad to most of his tournaments, though she hasn't made the jump across the Atlantic Ocean to the U.K. yet. 'With our lifestyle, you have to make do and figure things out,' he says. 'My wife and I don't have anything to compare her to, but by our very novice knowledge, she's been a great baby. We've been very lucky.' Justin Thomas with wife, Jillian Wisniewski, daughter, Molly Grace, and the championship trophy after winning the final round of the RBC Heritage 2025 at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South admits Jillian is the 'mastermind' behind traveling with the infant, and his role is to 'try not to get in the way or mess anything up and be there when I'm needed,' as well as packing a travel crib and blackout curtains. 'Both of our moms kind of roll their eyes at the amount of technology and gadgets there are these days,' he admits with a laugh. But it's all worth it for the Thomases to enjoy life on the road together. 'I think it'll be just so great for her to learn about different places. Seeing so many spots is something that she'll be very lucky to do as a young'un.' With Justin Thomas Best golf destination? That's a tough one. Baker's Bay. It's a very beautiful and fun golf course. And also the experience in general—very laid-back. It's very enjoyable. Do you ever play golf when you're on vacation? I probably play more on vacation than I would maybe like, but I won't by myself, just with other people. It's more fun golf—not a grind type of thing. Fellow golfer who's the best travel buddy? You might get me in trouble! But I've traveled quite a bit with Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, and Gary Woodland. We used to more before Jordan, Rickie, and myself started families—it definitely has become a lot more difficult. Athlete you'd like to travel with? I'll go with Michael Jordan because I know he's got a sweet plane, so that makes it a lot easier to travel. Best trip you've been on? We took a trip to London with the Spieths and the Fowlers a couple years ago. We stayed at a great hotel in London and went to Wimbledon together. The food was so good, and we all had such a fun time! Celeb Check-in Before they became parents, the Thomases were already frequent travelers, even taking a babymoon to Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. 'It was a very relaxing and nice getaway for us, but I felt for Jillian because they had some great cocktails on the menu that only I was able to indulge in,' he says. 'But the food is also incredible.' The Volunteer State has a special meaning for the couple since they got married in College Grove, Tennessee, in 2022, with many of their guests staying at the Harpeth Hotel in nearby Franklin, which he says is "awesome." 'We try to get there every once in a while since there's so many great little restaurants and areas you can walk to—it's a sweet town,' he says. Thomas knows that part of the country well, having grown up in Louisville, where he recommends going to Fourth Street Live! and the waterfront, visiting nearby St. Matthews, and checking out a race at Churchill Downs. He then went to college to the south at the University of Alabama, where he played golf for the Crimson Tide; 'All you need to do in Tuscaloosa is go to a football game," says Thomas. Justin Thomas plays a shot on the 16th hole during the final round of the Valspar Championship 2025 at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, he calls the Jupiter, Florida, area home, where "everything is very laid-back and relaxed,' whether it's enjoying meals on the water at Square Grouper Tiki Bar or U-Tiki Beach or heading up to 1000 North for nights out. And when he leaves home for tournaments, he prioritizes easy, streamlined travel. These days he usually shares NetJets private flights with other players. 'Time is very precious, and the more time you can save, the better it is for our game essentially,' the No. 5 player says. In his earlier days, it was a little more taxing to travel with his golf clubs, checking them in on flights with the rest of the baggage. 'You get a sore right arm pretty quick from lugging that thing through the airport,' he says. 'Everybody's got horror stories—I've had times where bags don't show up and you're just trying to make it work.' His best advice for fellow golf travelers is to be ready to pivot. 'I don't want to say you need a backup plan, but just know things change and stuff happens, so have an understanding and be okay with it and go with the flow.' Thomas has learned to focus on what he can control, like always bringing a full-sized pillow with him in his carry-on. 'That's a must—I travel with a pillow every week,' he says of prioritizing comfort on the go. Also in his bag are Chapstick, a couple Sharpies, Advil, a phone charger, snacks, and electrolytes. But above all, there's nothing he prioritizes more than sunscreen. Spending so much of his life outside, his parents were always pretty diligent about having him get regular skin checks. When he was in high school, he had a mole taken off his back that turned out to be cancerous. 'It wasn't anything major, but it had to be dug out a little bit, and turned out to be okay,' he says. That made him realize how important these exams are, especially aware of how much the back of his neck and calves are exposed to the sun. At a skin check when he was 26, the athlete pointed out a mole on his left calf that was 'very small, but looked different.' His instincts were right—the spot was in the early stages of melanoma. The surgery was fairly simple—a half-hour procedure that he was awake for. But the impact was huge. 'It was a pretty eye-opening experience,' he says. 'I was very lucky to catch it as early as I did.' Thomas decided to turn his scare into an opportunity to educate others, starting a sunscreen line called WearSPF: 'For a lot of people, it's like being hungry: You wait till you're hungry to eat. They wait until they feel burnt or are sunburned to put on sunscreen, ' he says. 'But it's about applying before you go out, reapplying as the day goes on, and learning about the UV index. Just because it's not hot or sunny doesn't mean you can't get burnt, and I wasn't as cognizant of that in the past.' Justin with his sunscreen brand Wear SPF. Ty Nicholson/Get Engaged He's also used his influence for creative partnerships, including a recent one with Jason and Travis Kelce's Garage Beer. 'I was able to spend a little time with Jason at the tour event in Philly, and he said his wife is constantly getting on him for how sunburned he gets,' Thomas said. 'He was very excited about this collaboration because he needs all the sunscreen!" Even though he and Travis were both in Happy Gilmore 2, they didn't cross paths there—but they have hung out a bit. If he were to plan a trip with them, the agenda would be simple. 'I think going somewhere with some golf, because I know Travis loves golf, and I think Jason does as well,' Thomas says. 'But just somewhere fun and sitting back, being a fly on the wall to those two, watching them do their thing would be funny and entertaining!'

Morning Report: Demetrious Johnson tells fans ‘don't watch UFC' if you don't like Khamzat Chimaev's style
Demetrious Johnson has a simple solution for fans tired of watching wrestling-heavy fights: Change the channel. During a live YouTube reaction stream for UFC 319, Johnson gave his two cents on Saturday's main event and broke down how Khamzat Chimaev grappled his way to a dominant decision win over Dricus du Plessis to capture the middleweight title. Johnson then addressed viewer comments, several of which were critical of Chimaev controlling du Plessis for 25 minutes without doing much significant damage. Johnson sympathized, then reminded fans they have the power to choose what they consume. 'If you guys don't want to watch grappling and wrestling and jiu-jitsu, don't watch UFC,' Johnson said. 'Go watch ONE Championship, go watch Lion Fighting, go watch Glory, go watch kickboxing, go watch Muay Thai, right? It's very simple. You guys are complaining about something that's a very simple problem to fix. 'For example, let's say Khamzat's about to fight again, you don't want to watch his style, all you've got to do is go like this, you see this button right here, it's called 'off button.' You don't have to see Khamzat wrestle, it's a very simple problem to fix. You guys are making it a bigger deal than it is.' Watching the fight live, Johnson was critical of Chimaev not finding positions to land more impactful ground-and-pound or to chase submissions. That didn't matter in the end as 'DDP' failed to prevent Chimaev from repeatedly taking him down and either smothering him or taking his back. Johnson was on Chimaev's side when it came to referee Marc Goddard calling for a standup and reset of position on a couple of occasions, decisions that Johnson believes favored du Plessis. 'I disagree with this,' Johnson said during the fight. 'That should have never happened because the same thing's going to happen. Basically, what the ref did, the ref gave DDP a better chance to fight. What just happened with the referee's decision should have never happened. There's no reason why the ref should have stood them up. 'This is a fight. It's up to DDP to get to a better position to be able to better himself to be able to fight. The fact that the ref allowed DDP to get out of a very down position from Khamzat Chimaev is bullshit.' Regardless of how entertaining Chimaev's performance was or wasn't, it's clear the undefeated fighter and now UFC champion is a tough puzzle for any middleweight to solve. Reinier de Ridder, Anthony Hernandez, Caio Borralho, and Nassourdine Imavov are all in the mix to be the opponent for Chimaev's first title defense, and as of now Chimaev has no preference as to who is next. Whichever direction the matchmakers go in, Johnson knows that challenger better have their wrestling shoes on. 'I honestly thought Khamzat was going to be able to finish DDP if he was able to take DDP down, but I also thought DDP was going to do a better job of defending the takedowns and he wasn't able to stop the takedown,' Johnson said. 'That was the story of that fight, so moving forward, whoever fights Khamzat, they need to decide—like, Imavov or Borralho, they fight Sept. 6, whoever wins that fight, if they do not come with wrestling defense or a good jiu-jitsu attacking style like going after the legs, elevating Khamzat, they're going to lose. I feel totally comfortable saying that. They're going to lose. 'Because Khamzat does not want to stand. He wants to show, show, shoot. Show, show, shoot. Show, show, shoot. So if those guys don't have a ground game or have an answer for his wrestling, it's going to be the same exact thing that happened to DDP.' Inevitable. Khamzat Chimaev is the new UFC middleweight champion. Nope. Jon Jones fighting at UFC White House? Dana White calls it 'a billion-to-one' chance. Nope again. And he's not loving those 10,000-seat UFC APEX stories either! Next? Lerone Murphy smoked Aaron Pico at UFC 319 and he has the featherweight champ's attention. How? One fight before Murphy's unbelievable spinning elbow knockout, Carlos Prates did almost the exact same thing to Geoff Neal. Important. Joseph Morales won The Ultimate Fighter 33 to cap off yet another magical season. MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee make their pick for who Chimaev should defend against first in the latest On to the Next One. UFC 319 post-fight show. UFC 319 post-fight scrums. I still can't believe he said this. They'll be back. Cute. Life after. Champ and future champ? That's one way to celebrate Premier League kickoff weekend. We all thought it would be Khamzat early, DDP late, but what we got was something completely different. Personally, I found the UFC 319 main event mesmerizing, even if it's a fight that I will never, ever watch again in its entirety. Chimaev defied expectations and became champion, that's how I'm choosing to frame it. Now get back to smeshing, big guy.
