Tiger Woods couldn’t be more involved with primetime TGL unless he had built the arena. He helped develop the tech-infused golf league. He’s playing in it. And now he’s a team owner.Woods and his TGR Ventures and David Blitzer, the investor who has ownership in all four major sports leagues, were announced Tuesday as owners of Jupiter Links GC, the sixth and final team for the first-of-its-kind golf league that starts in January.Woods, Rory McIlroy and former Golf Channel president Mike McCarley are founding partners in TMRW Sports, the sports and entertainment company behind TGL.“Having the opportunity to not only compete, but also own a team to represent Jupiter is an exciting next chapter for me,” Woods said Tuesday.Woods referred to TGL as a “modern twist of traditional golf” that ultimately will make it more accessible by leaning the glitz of technology. Key to the modernization is playing in SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, an arena that holds some...Israel fights Hamas in ‘depths’ of Gaza City and foresees control of enclave’s security after war

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel said Tuesday that its ground forces were battling Hamas fighters deep inside Gaza’s largest city, signaling a major new stage in the month-old conflict, and its leaders foresee controlling the enclave’s security after the war.The push into Gaza City guarantees that the already staggering death toll will rise further, while comments from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about controlling Gaza’s security pointed to the uncertain endgame of a war that Israel says will be long and difficult. Israelis commemorated the 30th day — a milestone in Jewish mourning — since Hamas militants killed 1,400 people during an Oct. 7 rampage in southern Israel that sparked the war. Some 240 people Hamas abducted during the attack remain in Gaza, and more than 250,000 Israelis have evacuated homes near the borders of Gaza and Lebanon amid continuous rockets fired into Israel.A month of relentless bombardment in Gaza has killed more than 10,300 Palestinians, t...Fire ban imposed in Shenandoah National Park as Va. wildfire spreads; state of emergency declared

A wildfire that began Oct. 24 near the town of Syria in Madison County, Virginia, has spread to 2,800 acres of private and state land, and is now burning within the eastern boundaries of Shenandoah National Park.Shenandoah National Park implemented a complete fire ban Tuesday, including wood and charcoal fires in picnic areas, campgrounds, shelters and other locations where fires are usually permitted.“We need to be able to dedicate our firefighting resources to the Quaker Run fire. We hope a complete fire ban will reduce the possibility of any additional fire activity,” said Superintendent Pat Kenney.Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has declared a state of emergency to mobilize more resources and deploy staff and equipment in response to the fire and another wildfire in Patrick County in Southern Virginia.“This executive order will ensure that the Commonwealth has additional resources and is using every tool at its disposal to keep Virginians safe,” Youngkin said in a news ...Barcelona’s winning run in Champions League ends with 1-0 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk

A month into the war, Israel’s military says it’s fighting in the ‘depths’ of Gaza City after encircling the northern part of the besieged Palestinian enclave.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will have “overall security responsibility” in Gaza “for an indefinite period” after its war with Hamas. His comments in a TV interview offered the clearest indication yet that Israel plans to maintain control over the territory that’s home to some 2.3 million Palestinians.Several hundred thousand people are believed to remain in the north in the assault’s path. Hundreds more Palestinians fled Gaza City to the south on Tuesday, raising their hands and waving white flags to move past Israeli tanks. Some came on donkey carts, most on foot, a few pushing aged relatives in wheelchairs, all visibly exhausted and many with nothing but their clothes on their back. The Palestinian death toll in the war surpassed 10,300, including more than 4,200 children, according to the...Denver closes homeless encampment in Ballpark District
