CoStar Group and Happening Technology End Dispute Amicably
ARLINGTON, Va., May 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, announced today that CoStar Group and Happening Technology have concluded their dispute, with all parties withdrawing every claim with prejudice, bringing the matter to a final and amicable close. Guy Wolcott, a serial entrepreneur, founded the successful residential real estate platform Homesnap in 2012, which CoStar Group acquired in 2020 for $250 million. At the time of the acquisition, Homesnap was used regularly by over 300,000 residential agents in the United States. After departing CoStar, Wolcott, Thomas Goff, and Jeff Repanich launched Happening Technology to develop an innovative data pipeline product, with former Homesnap CEO John Mazur later becoming an investor and board member. Similarities between this product and CoStar's internal data pipeline technology prompted CoStar's reasonable concern regarding potential trade secret misappropriation — concerns that have now been fully addressed. Following a thorough review, the parties concluded that neither Happening Technology nor Wolcott, Goff, Repanich, or Mazur misappropriated CoStar's trade secrets or violated any other legal obligation. CoStar Group and Happening Technology are pleased to put this matter behind them and are open to exploring potential opportunities for collaboration in the future.

Hunter Wolcott wins Tour-sanctioned event despite being first to violate new pace-of-play policy
On Friday, Hunter Wolcott became the first player under the PGA Tour Americas new pace-of-play policy to be penalized for slow play. Two days later, he's a champion. Wolcott, a 27-year-old University of Tennessee product, was leading the Diners Club Peru Open by a shot when he was penalized a stroke while putting on his 16th hole of the day at Los Inkas Golf Club in Peru. According to the PGA Tour, Wolcott took 58 seconds to hit his par putt while being second to play. Under the new policy, players who are put on the clock are permitted 40 seconds to play a stroke in that circumstance while an extra 10 seconds is allotted for certain circumstances, like being the first to putt on the green. If a player exceeds the time limit, they are given a bad time. Previously, one-shot penalties were handed out after a player's second bad time; now, it's after the first. The Korn Ferry Tour also adopted this revised policy starting with last month's Lecom Suncoast Classic, though no KFT players have violated the policy to date. Wolcott went on to finish 36 holes tied for the lead, and he said afterward that while he disagreed with the penalty, he liked the rule: 'It's pretty unfortunate. I do think the rule is good to hurry up slow players. Nothing I can do about it now, still in a good spot. Happy about my game. Adds more fuel to the fire for the weekend.' Hunter Wolcott is a Champion in Peru 🏆 It did indeed as Wolcott completed a two-shot win on Sunday for his first career win on the PGA Tour-sanctioned tour. He double-bogeyed his opening hole before righting the ship on the back nine with five birdies.

MLB umpire Quinn Wolcott hilariously needed multiple tries to get the call right at first base
Spring training presents players with an opportunity to work on aspects of their game that they otherwise wouldn't have time for in the regular season. After all, everyone wants to be sharp when Opening Day rolls around in a couple weeks. That applies to umpires too, apparently, as MLB ump Quinn Wolcott had an internal dialogue play out in the middle of a call. During Tuesday's Cactus League game between the Angels and Rangers, outfielder Wyatt Langford hit a slow, bouncing grounder to third base, forcing J.D. Davis to make a tough throw on the run. In real time, the throw looked clearly late. But in the moment, Wolcott visibly second-guessed himself. It made for a hilarious call. Took a few tries but he got the call right — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) March 12, 2025 Wolcott initially started to signal safe, stopped himself to show an out call and then went back to the safe call. Hey, he got it right — that's what matters. It's spring training for umpires too!
