Richard Bland won't defend U.S. Senior Open title due to LIV Golf commitment

The field for the 2025 U.S. Senior Open Championship is set with 156 players ready to tee it up in the fourth of five senior majors. But the event, being played at The Broadmoor's East Course in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is missing its defending champion. Richard Bland is that defending champion, but he's a member of LIV Golf, which has a rule that its golfers must always appear in its events. A year ago, LIV had an off week at the same time as the U.S. Senior Open. But not this year. He said in a statement: I'm incredibly proud of winning last year's U.S. Senior Open, a career highlight that I will always cherish. I'm fully committed to playing the 14-event LIV Golf schedule and honoring my opportunity with the Cleeks and the league, where my goal is to finish in the top 24 once again and secure my roster spot for next season. I wish the very best to this week's competitors at The Broadmoor. Bland won two senior majors last year, as he also claimed the 2024 Senior PGA Championship. He tied for 14th this season at the event that was held near the end of May.

Colorado Springs gears up for an unforgettable 2025 summer

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — While it may not feel like summer yet, Colorado Springs is already gearing up for a jam-packed 2025 season. The city is set to host a series of major events that will not only attract visitors from all corners of the globe but also boost tourism and sales tax revenue, which helps fund essential city services. Let's take a closer look at what's coming this summer: From April 3 to April 10, Colorado Springs will host the 40th Space Symposium, attracting over 10,000 people from more than 40 countries. This event has earned a reputation as the premier U.S. space policy and program forum. Whether you're a space enthusiast, a policymaker, or just looking to engage with leaders in the space sector, this is the event to be at. The Space Symposium has grown into a must-attend gathering where global space industry leaders come together for discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities. Golf fans, mark your calendars. From June 25 to June 29, the 2025 U.S. Senior Open Championship will be held at the iconic Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs. The 45th U.S. Senior Open Championship tournament will take place on the East Course, located at an impressive 6,300 feet above sea level, nestled on the southern edge of the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. With its spectacular views and world-class course, it's sure to be a highlight for golf enthusiasts this summer. From July 18 to July 26, Colorado Springs will host the 2025 Department of Defense Warrior Games at Colorado College and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. This event showcases the resilience and strength of wounded, ill, and injured military veterans and active-duty service members through athletic competition. Colorado Springs will also celebrate our nation's greatest athletes at the 2025 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, taking place from July 10 to July 13. This festival, hosted at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, will allow fans to meet and interact with Hall of Fame athletes, hear their inspiring stories, and learn more about the legacies they've created. The museum will be announcing the inductees, and it's a great opportunity for fans to connect with the heroes of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic history. Mayor Yemi Mobolade spoke passionately about the importance of these events for Colorado Springs. 'These events generate essential sales tax revenues that help fund vital city services such as public safety, infrastructure, and parks,' Mayor Mobolade said. 'The revenue generated by these events directly contributes to maintaining Colorado Springs' status as one of the most desirable, neighborly, and livable cities in the U.S.' The Mayor told FOX21 News one of the reasons Colorado Springs is attracting more events than ever is the increased convenience and service capability of the Colorado Springs Airport. With new nonstop routes to international destinations, traveling to the city is easier than ever before, and these events are just a glimpse of the growing opportunities in the area.
