(June 5, 2025) – Lincoln Financial (NYSE: LNC), a trusted provider of retail life and annuity solutions and workplace benefits, today was named presenting sponsor of the epic GolfPass docuseries that will chronicle the $150 million golf renaissance that is turning a century-old public course into a destination for learning and recreation.

The three-part, original GolfPass production will tell the story of how a group of Philadelphia-area visionaries, with support from founding partners like Lincoln Financial, shouldered the task of bringing one of the country's premier municipal golf courses back to its original glory while transforming the area into a dynamic education and recreation campus for the community. Earlier this year, Lincoln Financial announced its landmark partnership with the Cobbs Creek Foundation to further the advancement and development of infrastructure and programs at the Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus, currently under development in West Philadelphia. The partnership signifies a shared long-term commitment to the Philadelphia community, providing innovative programming, including financial literacy programs for all through Lincoln and the company's philanthropic arm, the Lincoln Financial Foundation, and access to state-of-the-art facilities at the Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus and the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab.

The episode also will showcase how the new Cobbs Creek will benefit the West Philadelphia community, considered by many to be the city's 'forgotten corner.' 'By providing a free place for kids and families to go, to have fun and to learn, the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab will be transformational within the community,' said Meredith Foote, Executive Director of the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab at Cobbs Creek.

The Cobbs Creek project has garnered support from local individuals and families, as well as leaders in local government and in the Philadelphia business community. Part 2 of the docuseries will premiere on GolfPass in 2026, with Part 3 scheduled for early 2027.

The Sports Bra, a women's sports bar franchise, is coming to Boston
The Sports Bra, a franchise dedicated to women's sports, is expanding to Boston, the company announced this week. The big picture: The Sports Bra is will be the third Boston-area bar to show predominantly women's sports — a space that's on the rise in the U.S. What's happening: The Sports Bra didn't say when or where the Boston franchise would open, but noted that it would air games from the Boston Fleet hockey team, Boston Legacy FC and other women's sports teams. Franchises are also opening in Indianapolis, Las Vegas and St. Louis, the company announced. The Sports Bra will be in good company in Boston, joining Parlor Sports in Somerville and fully-women-owned Drawdown Brewing in Jamaica Plain. Zoom out: Six women's sports bars have opened this year, with as many as 17 on the way. What they're saying: The bars "galvanize the community," says Kaitlyn Laabs, who is making a documentary about women's sports bars called "Untapped." "They've become centers of social, economic and political power in the communities where they exist." The vibe: Bar owners mix the fun and camaraderie of team sports with an atmosphere that's welcoming to everyone, including nontraditional sports fans and the LGBTQ+ community. "Let's bring people in that have always been a little timid about going to a sports bar," says Monica Brady, co-owner of upcoming Kansas City women's sports bar The Dub. Friction point: Some bar owners, such as Watch Me! owner Jax Diener, have gotten sexist and anti-LGBTQ+ hate. Between the lines: Many of these bar owners also struggle to secure small-business loans, increasing the barrier to opening, Laabs says. Brady tells Axios she and her business partner were rejected for a loan four times. She said lenders cited high collateral requirements, risk, and inexperience in the industry as factors in the rejections. Many women's sports bar owners have turned to crowdfunding. Stunning stat: In 2023, women received less than a third of the Small Business Administration's loans despite owning about 43% of America's small businesses, according to the SBA.

Baltimore Ravens' Zay Flowers Has 'No Limits' From Knee Injury
Baltimore Ravens' Zay Flowers Has 'No Limits' From Knee Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Zay Flowers missed the Baltimore Ravens' 2024 playoff run with a knee injury. Flowers was able to avoid surgery during the offseason and is on track to be fully healthy for a 2025 campaign. Advertisement "My knee's great," Flowers said on Tuesday. "I feel 100%. I feel like I'm ready to go, ready for the season, no limits." Flowers' return to form has caused offensive coordinator Todd Monken to think of new ways to utilize Flowers. 'We've just got to get him the ball more,' Monken said, via the Ravens' website. 'He's an unbelievable football player. He's not only an outside receiver that has elite route-running skills, but he's unbelievable with the ball in his hands. So you have a guy that really plays two spots. I'm not sure he can use that in his contract negotiations. But I'm just saying you can use him in a variety of roles to get him the ball, which allows your volume to go up. He's a volume catch guy. You can use him in novelty screens, getting him the ball down the field. I expect him to take another leap. When you make it to the Pro Bowl, or you're an All-Pro, you're pretty good." Monken made mention of Flowers' contract, as Flowers is extension eligible for the first time in 2025. If Monken can feature Flowers in the offense more and he can stay healthy, the former first-round pick could be looking for a hefty payday. Advertisement Flowers posted his first career 1,000 yard season in 2024, talking 1,059 yards and four touchdowns on 74 receptions, earning his first Pro Bowl appearance. It's not just Monken who wants to get Flowers more involved. According to Flowers, Lamar Jackson is already trying to take team bonding to the next level in 2025, bringing the group together as a whole and developing more chemistry. "This year, he wants to do a lot more meeting, he wants to do team stuff, do a lot more personal stuff with us just to get that team comradery to a good level," Flowers said. Flowers and Jackson worked out together in South Florida during the offseason, as they have done in years past. Flowers said those extra workout sessions are always beneficial to getting on the same page with his quarterback. Advertisement "It's just getting our timing down," Flowers said. "Like if we're running routes, he'll say: 'Run it this way' or 'I like how you ran it this way.' It's talking a lot and detailing the small things that he wants to get down."
