Adam Hadwin's Wife, Jessica, Hysterically Reacts to Trump-Musk Breakup
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The recent back-and-forth on social media between US President Donald Trump and his former main supporter, Elon Musk, has even reached the world of golf. The popular wife of PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin has been one of those to react, and, true to her style, she has done so in a hilarious way. Jessica Hadwin used her X account, where she is followed by more than 45,000 fans, to share some jokes about one of the main current narratives in American politics: "Watching the golf. Watching a bromance breakup live on twitter," she posted, using funny emojis to show that her attention was divided between the two topics. Watching the golf 🙂↔️ Watching a bromance breakup live on twitter 🙂↕️ — Jessica Hadwin (@jessicahadwin) June 5, 2025 No less popular journalist Claire Rogers reacted to Jessica's post, also with her own unique sense of humor: "It's giving Brooks Bryson 2021," Rogers posted. It's giving brooks Bryson 2021 — claire rogers (@kclairerogers) June 5, 2025 After course, she is referencing the now infamous beef between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. Their feud reached its peak a few years ago before both players left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, and was the talk of the sport for quite some time. Interestingly, the two golfers eventually put their issues behind them. It remains to be seen whether that will happen between Trump and Musk. Adam Hadwin's wife is very active on social media, especially X. She frequently posts about various topics, offering glimpses into her daily life with the one-time PGA Tour winner. Her unique sense of humor and wit when interacting with other X users has made her a fan favorite and arguably the most-followed wife on tour. Adam and Jessica Hadwin met through a dating app in 2014. According to People, their relationship has only grown stronger since then, and they tied the knot in 2017, the same year Hadwin won the Valspar Championship — his only PGA Tour victory to date. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Maddox, in 2020.

After the first two rounds, the 37-year-old had a 5-under 36-hole score, which should easily allow him to make the cut. Hadwin carded a 67 on Thursday, with four birdies and a bogey. The next day, he carded a 68 with three birdies and a bogey. More Golf: Canadian Open: Rory McIlroy Stands Firm on Skipping Media with Harsh Retort

PENN Entertainment Responds to ISS Report
WYOMISSING, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PENN Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: PENN) ('PENN' or the 'Company') today made the following statement in response to the report issued today by Institutional Shareholder Services ('ISS') related to the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the 'Annual Meeting') on June 17, 2025: The ISS report confirms that two director seats are up for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting and that PENN and HG Vora have nominated and are recommending the same two highly-qualified candidates - Johnny Hartnett and Carlos Ruisanchez. ISS recognizes the open-mindedness with which PENN evaluated HG Vora's director candidates, noting: 'To its credit, the board appears to have given serious consideration to all three dissident nominees, and was open to accepting two of these nominees as its own.' 1 PENN encourages all shareholders to vote for Messrs. Hartnett and Ruisanchez for election and looks forward to welcoming them to the Board. Following the Annual Meeting, 75% of PENN's directors will have joined the Board since 2019. In reaching its conclusions however, the ISS report fails to reflect a realistic view of William Clifford's candidacy. We remind shareholders that, during his time as PENN's CFO, Mr. Clifford advocated against key initiatives that were critical to succeeding in a competitive market. Following Mr. Clifford's departure in 2013 as PENN's CFO, these changes were implemented under the publicly announced P30 program and resulted in meaningful margin improvement. Further, during his interviews with PENN's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Clifford demonstrated antiquated views of a rapidly changing industry, and the same posture of resistance to exploring value-generating solutions, which we believe would hinder constructive decision-making. PENN attempted multiple resolutions with HG Vora, but all of our resolution attempts were rejected. Given HG Vora's violation of its institutional waivers by multiple state gaming regulators, our ability to allow HG Vora to influence the governance of the Company beyond the evaluation of the nominees was expressly prohibited. We appreciate the feedback and advice we have received from our shareholders in advance of this year's Annual Meeting. We want to assure shareholders that we understand and share their focus on ensuring that PENN's Board of Directors is optimally comprised to oversee the Company's execution on a strategic plan to drive shareholder value. The Board and management team remain committed to creating value for all shareholders and will continue to take actions in support of that objective. About PENN Entertainment, Inc.
