Venus Williams Barbie Doll: How can you buy latest release? What we know about new toy
Venus WIlliams was approached by Mattel to have her own Barbie Doll included in the Inspiring Women Series. It was an offer she could not refuse. The Barbie series began in 2018 and has honored an abundance of women that have made an impact on society. The current collection has several dolls including Dr. Jane Goodall, Maya Angelou, Anna Sui and Madam C.J. Walker. Venus is set to be the next edition to the family. Williams, who lives in Palm Beach Gardens, has been a global phenomenon in the tennis world. Alongside her sister, Serena, she won her first ever major trophy as the US Open Women's Doubles champion in 1999. She completed this feat at the age of 19 with Serena (18). Venus single's career was also a success capturing seven Grand Slam Women's Singles. A grand total of 49 women's single titles, 22 women's doubles, 3 Olympic gold medals in doubles and a 2000 single's gold medal cap off one of the greatest tennis careers of all time. When selecting what she wanted her doll to look like, Williams decided with her 2007 Wimbledon outfit as it not only represented a win but was the first year the women's and men's singles champions earned equal prize money at Wimbledon. WIlliams had advocated for this long before her win. "Wimbledon 2007 was a huge moment in my career — not just because I won, but because of what was happening off the court," Williams told USA TODAY Sports. "Championing for equal prize money wasn't just about me, it was about pushing for change for all women in sports. To see that moment honored with a Barbie doll is incredibly special. I hope it inspires young girls to speak up, believe in themselves, and know they have the power to change the game too." When can you buy the Venus Williams Barbie? The doll is set to be released on Aug. 15, just before the US Open where Williams will compete in mixed doubles with Reilly Opelka. Venus WIlliams advocating for change The two piece all-white outfit has more meaning than just a single's title. It signifies the hard work and dedication Williams gave to see equity in her sport. Two years before her 2007 win at Wimbledon, Williams met with officials from Wimbledon and the French Open, two Grand Slam tennis events that didn't pay equal prize money at the time. Nothing came from that meeting but that didn't stop Williams. In 2006, she wrote an article in The Times titled "Wimbledon has sent me a message: I'm only a second class champion." The article caused a change and the both tournaments announced equal pay for all competitors in 2007; a measure that continues today. "My advice to any woman, not just advocating for equal pay but also advocating for themselves, is this: always bet on yourself and keep pushing, no matter how tough it gets," Williams told USA TODAY Sports. "There's so much power in believing in yourself. When you use your voice, you create space for others to speak up too and that can create real change."

Best waterfront dining in north Palm Beach County from Gardens down to Riviera Beach
The perfect meal with friends and family at your favorite restaurant is always a nice afternoon or evening. What's even better is that same perfect meal with friends and family, but overlooking the water. Whether it's the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, a lake or even a river, dining along the water is just something that makes the food taste better, the drinks more refreshing and the entire experience more of something to remember. Even the pics taken at these spots are just that much more IG worthy. Here are more than a dozen waterfront dining options from Palm Beach Gardens down through Lake Park, Singer Island and Riviera Beach to enjoy dinner, lunch or brunch along the water: Waterfront restaurants in Palm Beach Gardens The River House The water view: Intracoastal Waterway With an eclectic mix of seafood and homestyle favorites that include bistro chicken, prime meatloaf, filet mignon, prime rib, sushi rolls and salads, this eatery has something for everyone and offers it during dinner, lunch and even brunch.

The entire property was remodeled, including the crumbling seawall and what the cafe boasts is Florida's only floating bar. There was initial talk about changing Waterfront's concept and name, but after the first week the new owners said they realized that idea was a no-go. 'I probably spoke to 40 people who first met their spouse here decades ago, and now they were enjoying a drink with their adult kids. So many memories were created here, and that's a tradition we want to continue,' said Marc Mariacher, who owns and operates the restaurant with his wife Cindy. ~Diana Biederman More: What does 18-months, and multi-million $ remodeling get the Waterway Cafe?

Why Charlie Woods won't defend his title this week at South Florida junior golf major
Charlie Woods is not in the field to defend his title this week at one of the South Florida PGA's annual "Junior Major" tournaments. Woods, a rising junior at the Benjamin School and son of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, is the reigning champion of the South Florida PGA Junior Cup after winning last year's event on July 31, 2024 at the BallenIsles East Course in Palm Beach Gardens. He shot 2-under (73-68-73) and was the only player to finish the tournament under par. It was Woods' first career win on the Srixon Medalist Tour, which is the highest competition level of the South Florida PGA's Junior Tour program. The Junior Cup was formerly known as the Doral Junior Open and was played on the "Red Tiger" course at Trump National Doral Golf Club. This year's Junior Cup will be hosted from July 28-30 at the BallenIsles North Course in Palm Beach Gardens. Western Amateur: Cameron Kuchar in the field for historic amateur golf event Instead, Woods is competing in the 49th Boys & Girls Junior PGA Championships this week at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The Junior PGA Championships are considered the PGA of America's premier annual junior golf tournaments. Past winners include major champions like Trevor Immelman and David Toms while past runner-ups include Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth. From 1980-2000, the Junior PGA was held at PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens in all but two years (1988, 1993). Woods' most recent tournament was the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship — the United States Golf Association's national championship for boys junior golf — last week at Trinity Forest and Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas. He shot 14-over in stroke play and missed the cut to advance to match play. Eric J. Wallace is deputy sports editor for The Palm Beach Post.
