British Open champion Scottie Scheffler to donate new practice facility to Texas Golf
Before Scotty Scheffler even teed it up for the first round of the British Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, the former Texas Longhorns golfer was making news. In a 5+ minute answer at his pre-tournament press conference, Scheffler opened up about the balance he's found in his life. While he strives to be the best in the world at his chosen profession, the things that fill his heart with joy are his family and inner circle. "If feels like you work your whole life to celebrate winning a tournament for like, a few minutes. It only lasts a few minutes. That kind of euphoric feeling. ... It's not a fullfilling life. It's not fulfilling from like the deepest places of your heart." - Scottie Scheffler Scheffler is obviously dedicated to his craft. But still, in many corners of the media and the golf world, his motives and desire were questioned. "I'm kind of a sicko. I love putting in the work. I love being able to practice, I love being able to live out my dreams. But at the end of the day, sometimes I don't understand the point." - Scottie Scheffler The Texas Ex has compartmentalized his life. He strives to be good at his job so he can enjoy what fills his heart. His 15-month-old son Bennet, his Highland Park High School sweetheart, wife Meredith and others close to him are what matters to him. Scheffler enjoys the grind of practice. Part of that comes from his time at Texas. On Monday, Texas Longhorns Golf Coach John Fields announced Scheffler would be funding a renovation of the Longhorns' practice facility at UT Golf Club. The complex and driving range will be called "Scheff's Kitchen." Scheffler and Meredith have remained close to Coach Fields and his wife Pearl. Last year, during an alumni pro-am, Scheffler let Pearl wear his Olympic Gold Medal all day. Although the Coach knew his former player had another motive. 'That helped him because he knew everyone wanted to see that gold medal … and Pearl got to be an Olympian for the day. He just finds fun ways to enjoy that moment but not be too overwhelmed by it, and he's really good about it.' - Texas Men's Golf Coach John Fields Other Texas golfers have contributed to the Longhorns golf facility. Jordan Spieth helped design and fund the construction of a six-hole short course at the club called "Spieth Lower 40." And Texas alum, and US Open winner, Tom Kite, recently remastered the team's chipping area. Of course, Scheffler also was back on the UT Campus last year to serve as the guest picker for ESPN College Football GameDay. He also received his first major award on GameDay. In 2022 Fields presented Scheffler with the Jack Nicklaus Trophy, his first PGA Tour Player of the Year award. He's now won it three years in a row. Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.

James Gunn Says IMDb Led Him to David Corenswet's 'Superman' Casting
There are several ways for actors and actresses to land parts in movies, and depending on the role, the task is surely easier for some than others. When it comes to the latest box office juggernaut, Superman, the director and co-CEO of DC Studios, James Gunn, took a unique approach to the lead role. While Gunn admitted that he has written movie roles for specific people, the new face of Superman, David Corenswet, was discovered thanks to a bit of good timing and a quick internet search. During an interview with IMDb, Gunn explained that he was actually watching a movie, which led him to discover Corenswet. "Superman, no clue who Superman was going to be. Didn't write with any actor in mind," Gunn admitted. "I think I found David Corenswet on IMDb. Because I saw my friend Ti West's movie Pearl, and I'm like, well who's that guy?" Gunn said. "...I looked up on IMDb and it was David. I sent a note to John Papsidera, casting director, saying bring David Corenswet in for Superman." It's a great backstory from Gunn, and considering the rave reviews Corenswet has received as Superman, it's safe to say that the director has to be thrilled he checked out Pearl when he did. Gunn explained that he uses IMDb often when watching movies. He also stated that he wrote the part of Pa Kent in Superman specifically for Pruitt Taylor Vince, because he liked him and wanted somebody who seemed like they could be a "real Kansas farmer."James Gunn Says IMDb Led Him to David Corenswet's 'Superman' Casting first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 17, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword

'Assault on investors': Labor's Economic Reform Roundtable predicted to leave Australia worse off
Taxes will be drastically hiked following Labor's Economic Reform Roundtable next month, former Treasury assistant secretary David Pearl has predicted. Mr Pearl said the capital gains tax rate could be doubled following the government's brainstorming session, as well as dividend imputation and negative gearing coming 'under the gun'. The former Treasury official said he believed the Albanese government had already made a decision on the measures and outcomes of the meeting as it would not risk being 'spontaneous'. 'The outcomes will be already developed by now. This is just a show. Jim Chalmers and Albanese are from a school of political management that doesn't tolerate any spontaneity or any surprises or any real discussion in this so-called roundtable,' he said. Mr Pearl said he thought the government would revert to Bill Shorten and Chris Bowen's 'disastrous 2019 assault on investors'. 'I think under the gun will be the capital gains tax discount. So we could see a doubling of the capital gains tax rate with no grandfathering,' he said. 'We could also see negative gearing, which for asset-poor people, for nurses and tradies who are buying their first home, is critical to reduce interest costs. That will be under the gun. 'And I think we'll also see a renewed assault on dividend imputation.' The Economic Reform Roundtable will take place on August 19 to 21 and places emphasis on global uncertainty causing economic disruptions to productivity and budget sustainability. In his National Press Club address last month, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said 'no sensible progress' on productivity or budget sustainability could be made without proper consideration of 'more tax reform'. The Treasurer said the roundtable in August was a 'well-time opportunity' to shape the direction of long-term reform. 'Participants will have a meaningful and influential role and a proper say,' he said. 'It's a genuine attempt to find common ground if it exists, in the service of our shared national economic interest.' Mr Chalmers said a mix of about 25 government, business, union and civil society representatives and experts will sit in the Cabinet room and brainstorm the Albanese government's 'targeted agenda'. 'We won't come at this from an ideological point of view but from the practical, pragmatic and problem-solving middle ground we're most comfortable on,' the Treasurer said.
