3) PGA Tour wants to add a fifth major

An old debate has been renewed in the golf world this week: should the Players Championship, which teed off this morning, be elevated to golf’s fifth major event?

• Proponents say the Players already has bona fides like a $25M purse—bigger than any major—arguably the most competitive field in golf, and a demanding but iconic course in TPC Sawgrass.
• But opponents of the move cite the tradition of four majors, and note the record-keeping dilemma of adding a fifth major (would Jack Nicklaus’ major total retroactively move from 18 → 21?)

5) Aaron Judge card sells for record $5.2M

A one-of-one signed baseball card of Aaron Judge from 2013 sold for $5.2M on Fanatics’ online marketplace, the company announced this morning.

• The same Judge card was last sold in 2022 for a much lower price of $324K.
• The recent sale represents the highest price ever paid for a modern-day baseball card, and the seventh-most-expensive sports card sale ever, per Card Ladder.
• But it could soon be eclipsed by a one-of-a-kind autographed card of Judge and Shohei Ohtani from 2025, which recently hit the auction block with bidding up to $1.2M—and over a week to go.
