Over the course of several months, Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour's search committee heard dozens of pitches from candidates hoping to become the Tour's first ever chief executive. But the one that stood out came from someone with no experience in professional golf at all.
They wanted to make the PGA Tour more like the National Football League.

Ketanji Brown Jackson reports $2 million in income last year for her memoir, 'Lovely One'
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson received more than $2 million last year for her best-selling memoir, 'Lovely One,' according to her annual financial disclosure, released Tuesday. Jackson's outside income exceeded that of her court colleagues combined, the reports showed. Justice Neil Gorsuch reported $250,000 for the book he published last year, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she received $134,000 in royalties and an advance for a new book due out next year. The annual reports paint a partial picture of the justices' finances, as they are not required to reveal the value of their homes or, for those who are married, their spouses' salary. Their investments also are reported in ranges. The justices earn a salary of $303,600 for their work on the court, except for Chief Justice John Roberts , who is paid $317,500. 'Lovely One' was published by Random House in September and briefly topped the New York Times bestseller list. Jackson, the first Black woman on the nation's highest court, signed the contract soon after taking her seat in 2022 and last year reported receiving a nearly $900,000 advance. She undertook an extensive speaking tour to promote the book and reported 15 paid trips across the country last summer and fall. The nearly $3 million she has received so far rivals the contract Sotomayor signed for her memoir, 'My Beloved World,' first published in 2013. Sotomayor, who also has written several children's books, is writing a new one called 'Just Shine! How to Be a Better You' inspired by her late mother, People magazine has reported. Gorsuch's latest book, 'Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law,' was published in August by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh also have book deals. Barrett, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch reported a bit more than $30,000 each for one- or two-week law school teaching gigs. Barrett and Kavanaugh taught at the University of Notre Dame's law school in South Bend, Indiana. Each has a child attending college there and Barrett was on the law school faculty before becoming a judge. Gorsuch taught in George Mason University's summer law program in Porto, Portugal. Roberts reported teaching a two-week course in Galway, Ireland in July. He said he wasn't paid until February. His compensation will be on the report that's released a year from now. The only justice whose report was not available Tuesday is Samuel Alito , who received an extension for up to 90 days, as he does most years.

Josh Allen's Unexpected Decision Leaves Fans in Disbelief
Josh Allen's Unexpected Decision Leaves Fans in Disbelief originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is coming off an NFL MVP season in which he threw for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions, while also rushing for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns. Advertisement In December 2021, Allen signed a multi-year endorsement deal with Nike, which included apparel and footwear. With the Bills holding mandatory minicamp from June 10-12, all eyes were on Allen as he geared up for his eighth NFL season. However, the 29-year-old didn't wear Nike cleats — a departure from his consistent practice of wearing them since signing his deal. Allen instead wore white New Balance cleats, a clear indication that he left Nike this offseason. Photos of Allen in the cleats made their way to social media, and fans were shocked by the move. "No way 😒," a fan said. "His cleat game was fire last season. Shame on Nike," another wrote. Advertisement "Diabolical 😂," added another. "Jeez. New balance must be paying big," wrote a fan. "😔 but happy for him. He was killing it in Nik," said another. "I like New Balance but Nike is King in the Football Space," one said.

Allen also holds the record for the highest passer rating in a single postseason (149.0 in 2021) and is tied for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single season (15).

Intel to layoff up to 20% of Intel Foundry workers
In Brief Intel will begin a new round of layoffs next month. The semiconductor giant plans to layoff at least 15%, and up to 20%, of workers in its Intel Foundry division starting in July, according to an internal memo originally reported on by The Oregonian. Intel Foundry designs, manufactures, and packages semiconductors for external clients. It's unclear how many workers this will directly impact. Intel's total workforce was 108,900 people as of December 2024, according to the company's annual regulatory filing. TechCrunch reached out to Intel for more information. This news is not a particular shock. Since Intel's CEO Lip-Bu Tan took the helm in March, he's made multiple references that the company needed to refocus on its core business units, flatten its organization structure and return to being an engineering-first company. Rumors of these specific layoffs began swirling in April. Tan also told Intel's customers it would spin off its noncore units at the company's Intel Vision conference in March. Intel previously laid off 15% of its staff, around 15,000 employees, last August.
