Hadwin Family had quite the week
The Hadwins' trip to TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, coincided with America's Independence Day weekend, and Jessica made sure to soak in every bit of it.
"Not sure there is a more Midwest place to head off to to watch some golf and celebrate the birth of America than the John Deere Classic!" she told Skratch.
"The JDC is a family-friendly event full of some of the nicest people on earth... it's a no-brainer to book a flight to a place that feels like home."
But the trip didn't start smoothly.
"Tragedy struck when our Monday flight was cancelled and we were in danger of missing the Big Dig," she shared.
The Big Dig is a fan-favorite pre-tournament event where families can operate real John Deere machinery and enjoy a fireworks show.
Well, in the end, it's Jessica Hadwin, so they had to make it there.
"The Big Dig is essentially a Midwesterner's Disneyland," Jessica shared, "and we made it to the most magical place on earth just in time Tuesday evening to partake."
By Thursday, the tournament was underway, and so was the heat. "It is hot as heck," she wrote.
Adam teed off at 12:30 p.m., while Jessica wrangled their daughter Maddox and two teenage nieces.
"Me and my 16-year-old nieces are unexpectedly matching in white tennis dresses, and I feel flattered until strangers start referring to me as their mom."
As Adam battled through a frustrating front nine, Jessica admitted, "We spend the front nine ignoring the bogey train in order to get a full photo shoot around the course."
Adam, who's had a rocky season this year, remained "eerily calm" despite the struggles. He carded a total of 73 in the first round.
Jessica, ever the honest cheerleader, reflected over her husband's performance, saying, "Maybe he should bring back some of the anger fire."
Still, she wasn't disappointed, just eager to see the version of Adam she knows he can be.
The professional season has included just one top-10 finish, a T9 at the WM Phoenix Open and six missed cuts, including at the PGA Championship.
One of the most touching moments came when Maddox watched her dad putt on the ninth green.
"She seems so anxious to see the putt drop, it doesn't, and I feel sad that she feels any emotion tied to golf," Jessica wrote.
"Despite my 'I just hope everyone has fun' mantra, it's clear Maddox is at an age she's starting to invest in Adam's job and play."
While Adam practiced post-round, Jessica took the kids to a rooftop fireworks party hosted by the tournament.
"I quickly realize I am the only person who brought 3 minors to the party, but we all have fun and the singer does a special little Bluey number for Maddox."
On Friday, Adam's alarm rang at 4 a.m. for Round 2. He started strong, 3-under through 5, but faded late, missing the cut after carding a total of 2-over par.
"With each bogey it's clear we will head home earlier than hoped for," Jessica expressed. "I'm already planning how we can get home and blow stuff up to help Adam blow off steam."
And with that, she signed off typing, "Happy Birthday America!"

Olivia Rodrigo's Two Albums Have Now Reached The Same Milestone
In a little over a month, Olivia Rodrigo's sophomore album Guts will turn two. The singer-songwriter, who by that point was already internationally renowned, dropped the full-length in September 2023, and it became another massive global commercial win. In the nearly two years since the second full-length appeared, Guts has remained a top performer on a number of charts, and this week is a very special one for the pop-rock project. Guts Reaches 100 Weeks on the Billboard Charts Guts can be found on a trio of Billboard rankings this frame, and it reaches the same milestone on all of them at the same time. Rodrigo's second studio effort makes it to 100 weeks on the Billboard 200 as well as both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums tallies. Guts Joins Sour Rodrigo has now seen both of her albums make it to triple-digit frames on the Billboard 200, which is often considered the most important and competitive of all albums tallies in America. As Guts rises to No. 56, Sour, her debut, also improves to No. 52 as it reaches 220 stays somewhere on the 200-spot ranking. Sour Only Lives on One Billboard Chart While Sour may live just a few spaces above its successor on the Billboard 200, that first title, which introduced Rodrigo to the world, only appears on that one roster. Guts also climbs to No. 6 on the Top Alternative Albums chart and No. 11 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list as it celebrates 100 weeks. Sour and Guts Land Very Close to One Another Amazingly, both Sour and Guts are only separated by a tiny number of equivalent units, despite the fact that the former has been around much longer. Rodrigo's debut full-length shifted 15,400 equivalent copies in the most recent reported tracking frame, according to Luminate. Guts, meanwhile, moved just under 15,100. Both of those titles grow by double-digit percentages, and long after they hit No. 1 on a variety of Billboard rosters, Rodrigo's two efforts both sold a little over 1,600 copies in the U.S. very recently.

Shein called out by Canadian artist who claims the fast-fashion giant 'stole' his work: 'It's definitely hit a nerve'
Justin Teodoro was recently made aware of a T-shirt listing on Shein that featured one of his drawings — but without his permission. It was a regular Tuesday night when Canadian artist Justin Teodoro received an alarming message on Instagram. "Is this legit?" It was from one of his more than 48,000 followers on the social media platform, and attached was a screenshot of a T-shirt listed for sale on fast-fashion clothing brand Shein's website. Printed on that shirt was one of Teodoro's original designs, featuring a drawing of Madonna surrounded by lyrics to the song "Hung Up." The image of the T-shirt listing even featured Teodoro's signature. The next morning, on Aug. 6, Teodoro posted a screenshot of Shein's T-shirt listing to his page. 'Hey [Shein], you literally stole my artwork unbeknownst to me and are currently selling it on T-shirts on your site without any credit or mention to me as the artist, even though you carelessly left my signature on it,' he captioned his post. 'I filed a complaint on your website, but who knows how long that will take to get to you. Me and my legal counsel would love to get in touch directly with you, Shein, to make sure you take this down.' Teodoro then urged the company to pay him for the sales they made off of the clothing piece and for 'stealing' his artwork. 'I've dealt with this stuff before and it always sucks to see big corporations like Shein literally steal work from small, independent creatives, but this one does truly make me really angry. So my inner Norma Rae is coming out,' Teodoro added, asking if anyone knew a better way to contact the company. At the time of writing, Shein has not replied directly to Teodoro's social media posts. However, the T-shirt is no longer listed on its site. In a statement to Yahoo Canada, Shein noted it never aims to infringe on people's intellectual property (IP). However, the platform essentially works as a marketplace, allowing third-party sellers to list their products to reach a global customer base. 'Shein takes all claims of infringement seriously. It is never our intent to infringe anyone's valid intellectual property, and it is not our business model to do so. All Shein vendors are required to comply with company policy and certify that their products do not infringe third-party IP.' The company noted it also explained how it processes complaints from people who own IP: 'When legitimate complaints are raised by valid IP rights holders, Shein promptly addresses the situation, and removes the product(s) from our site as a matter of caution while we investigate," statement said. "If a violation is confirmed, Shein will take appropriate action against the vendor of said products.' Shein added it is investing in 'image recognition technology' to try and recognize cases of possible infringement. The brand also said its product review team. In the past, Teodoro had seen his work for sale without his consent on other sites that allow independent users to sell content, such as Redbubble. He estimated it's happened at least a dozen times and said it's been taken down when he's brought it to the site's attention. 'I wanted to call it out quicker this time than I had before,'' Teodoro explained, adding that he's grateful many of his followers have reposted his pleas. 'Seeing creatives' work being exploited and taken advantage of, combined with AI, a lot of us are feeling more vulnerable now. I think it's definitely hit a nerve and it should not be taken lightly.'' Moreover, Teodoro noted, it's frustrating to see that "Shein has not learned its lesson" after being accused of stealing other artists' work as recently as both last year and the year before. Teodoro said Shein's policies need to do better to support artists. 'It becomes very tiring because these things happen so fast, and I'm not even sure who's operating [the site]," he said. "I have no professional relationship with Shein and after this, I don't think I'd want to have one.' While the shirts have now been removed from Shein's site, Teodoro is still seeking answers. He shared he was never contacted by the company, so he doesn't know how long the T-shirt was being sold for, whether it made any money from it and what made them take it down. 'It's a good first step, but there are still things I am trying to pursue,' Teodoro said. 'I'm a small independent artist, so it does feel very David and Goliath.'

TGL announces 2026 season opener is set for December and will be on ABC
They're starting the 2026 TGL season in 2025. The virtual, made-for-TV golf league announced on Monday the start date for season two, with the first match set to put TGL on broadcast television for the first time. Officially called TGL presented by SoFi, the 2026 opener is set for Sunday, Dec. 28 at 3 p.m. ET on ABC. All the matches last season were on ESPN or ESPN2, part of the Disney family along with ABC. The December date is a soft spot in the college football bowl season as there are no bowl games scheduled for that Sunday. The lid lifter will pit TGL defending champions Atlanta Drive GC against New York Golf Club in a rematch of last season's final. Atlanta features Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover and Billy Horschel, who announced in early May that he was going to get hip surgery. New York's squad consists of Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Cameron Young, and Matt Fitzpatrick. What is TGL? TGL stands for Tomorrow's Golf League and it's an indoor simulator league, backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TMRW Sports. The six-team league of PGA Tour pros will compete within the custom-built SoFi Center, a 250,000-square-foot venue on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. TGL golf format, how the league works Each match will feature two sessions with different formats. Session 1 will be nine holes of 'Triples,' three vs. three team alternate shot. Session 2 is six holes of 'Singles,' a head-to-head competition where each competitor plays two holes. What is the TGL point system? The TGL regular season points system resembles the NHL: A win in regulation or overtime is worth 2 points, a loss in overtime is good for 1 point, and a loss in regulation is worth 0 points. At the end of the regular season, four teams make the playoffs.
