Kenny Chesney Announces 2023 ‘I Go Back Tour’

Looking back, it’s impressive to see what Kenny Chesney has done over the past 35 years.

We’re talking about 31 number one hits, and the guy continues to sell out stadiums in thanks to his massive fanbase, dubbed “No Shoes Nation.”

With that being said, the guy is hitting the road once again, as he just announced his 2023  I Go Back  Tour.

The name of the tour is based off his 2004 smash hit “I Go Back,” the song about reminiscing on the good times of growing up in small town America, and he wants to bring that feeling to his fans for the 2023 tour, and play shows at the venues that he and his band played early on in his career.

He shared in a statement:

“When a year is as hot and alive as 2022 was, you don’t want to try to recapture that magic. Or maybe it’s me. I still have the sounds of diesel engines and No Shoes Nation in my head – and that made me ask, ‘What else could I do? What would be something that would put me every bit as much in the music and give No Shoes Nation another reason to believe?

How can we reach those people who might not come to stadium shows, who live a little off the obvious path, but who love this music every bit as much…   And that’s when it hit me: ‘I Go Back.’ That song is about holding all those things that shaped you very close, recognizing how special they are – and keeping them alive any way you can.

So, I decided that rather than just go repeat what we did, I wanted to take this band and these songs to a lot of the cities we played on our way up! Let’s call the tour I Go Back – and do just that.”

He recalled the OG days:

“I remember coming up, the craziness of so many of those dates. Markets where people were using chain-cutters to get onto the lawn because we were so sold out in the Carolinas… and that’s a kind of energy that should never be left behind.

For all those fans – based on how good last year felt – I want to bring what was coming off that stage to you, where you are, so we can all have that kind of experience together!

These songs time stamp people’s lives. They put people in their lives, but they also serve as the touchstone for memories in the making.

For people to come out and either live these songs again, or hear them for the first time? Who knows what will happen? But I know whether it’s ‘American Kids,’ ‘Get Along’ or ‘You And Tequila,’ every single person knows exactly what we’re singing about and singing along to together.”

The tour kicks off at State College, PA’s Bryce Jordan Center on March 25th, and rounds out July 22nd in Des Moines, Iowa at the Hy-Vee Indy Race.

Check it out and see if he’s coming to a city near you:

As is the case with any tour, fans are going to want to remember this moment, and bring home souvenirs from the special night.

According to a fan post on Twitter, fans can look forward to purchasing a t-shirt with the name Paramore on it, and a note explaining that the band was “Est. 03.” Another t-shirt features silhouette imprints of the band’s lead members, and the band’s logo in the corner of the shirt.

Taylor Swift is about to go back on tour: Here's what to expect on the Eras Tour in Paris

After a two-month break, Taylor Swift is revitalizing her titanic Eras Tour in Paris, and fans believe there are changes coming to the show.

If you are wondering where she's playing, if there will be changes and how to score tickets, here's everything we know.

And if you're new to the Eras Tour party, you can get caught up on the first 83 shows here .

When does the Eras Tour start again?

Swift kicks off the European leg of her tour on Thursday, May 9, in Paris. She will perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, as well, in the City of Light.

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

What are Taylor Swift's tour dates in Europe?

There are 69 shows left in the Eras Tour: 51 in Europe, nine in America and nine in Canada.

The European leg stretches from May all the way through a five-night stand at Wembley Stadium in London in mid-August.

See a complete list of international dates here .

After she wraps up in Europe, Swift will stop in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis before wrapping up in Canada.

See the remaining U.S. dates here .

What is the Eras Tour set list?

The Eras Tour has featured a massive 45-song set list you can check out here . But speculation is swirling it won't look the same when Swift takes the stage in Paris.

Will Taylor Swift add 'The Tortured Poets Department' to her set list?

The tortured poet has been on hiatus keeping her stamina up by releasing a double album of 31 tracks. The 2-hours-and-2-minutes project broke a number of Billboard records as the superstar did zero press to promote it. Fans flocked to stores and streaming services to listen to all the songs from "Fortnight" to "The Manuscript."

Although the singer has not confirmed whether her 11th era album will be added to her Eras Tour set list, she did post a YouTube shorts video with two scenes that sent Easter egg decoders into a frenzy. In one of the shots, the singer is next to a railing where a "TTPD" logo appears to be (at 0:11). In the succeeding shot, her back-up dancers perform holding canes and wearing top hats, something they have not worn previously.

Swift's dancers and bandmates posted to their Instagram stories as they left for France last week. The singer did not appear at two media events with her boyfriend Travis Kelce: the Kentucky Derby and a Formula 1 race in Miami , Florida. Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's friend and Kansas City's quarterback, attended the car racing spectacular with his wife, Brittany.

Can I still get Eras Tour tickets?

Swift's show is completely sold out in Europe and North America. There are resale sites with tickets, but be wary of scams. The best way to avoid getting swindled is continuously checking links on Swift's website . There are some for resale on the sites verified by her camp.

Singapore was a hotbed for fans who traveled thousands of miles only to get turned away at the venue. In Tokyo and Australia, last-minute ticket drops happened a few days — without announcement — ahead of the shows.

Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis — the three U.S. cities Swift is visiting in the fall — have some of the heftiest price tags with Canada closely behind. In may be cheaper to travel to Warsaw, Poland, or Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Here's a list of cities with the cheapest resale tickets, according to travel website  Islands.com .

10. Vienna, Austria — total average cost: $1,089, safety score: 69.72

9. Cardiff, U.K. — total average cost: $1,061, safety score: 61.83

8. Lyon, France — total average cost: $1,047, safety score: 44.3

7. Lisbon, Portugal — total average cost: $1,028, safety score: 70.15

6. Munich, Germany — total average cost: $1,000, safety score: 78.88

5. Paris, France — total average cost: $971, safety score: 41.83

4. Stockholm, Sweden — total average cost: $935, safety score: 53.86

3. Hamburg, Germany — total average cost: $903, safety score: 57.51

2. Gelsenkirchen, Germany — total average cost: $749, safety score: 51.33

1. Warsaw, Poland — total average cost: $712, safety score: 72.98

Who are the opening acts?

Paramore launched the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, so it's fitting the American rock band is opening the tour's second year. The act will open for Swift for 51 shows across Europe . The band was dubbed the 2024 Record Store Day global ambassador and surprised fans in Nashville the weekend following the release of "The Tortured Poets Department."

When the tour comes back to North America in October , Swift's opening act will be Gracie Abrams.

Where can I watch if I don't have tickets?

The Eras Tour is one of the first tours that has been followed, globally, by thousands of fans on digital platforms. Fans dedicate part of their concert experience to livestreaming as Swift performs. A few Swifties have learned how to host their own shows over social media including Tess Bohne , known as the livestream queen. Bohne goes live for (almost) every show pulling streams from Instagram and TikTok. When a livestream goes down, she fills the time with banter.

On YouTube, user @TaylorSwiftHockeyBro also livestreams the three-hour show, and on Twitch, @folkleric , is a host fans follow.

There is also an app, Swift Alert , that notifies fans who only want to watch certain eras like the acoustic, surprise set. The app sends out push alerts if there are any major announcements.

What secret songs are left?

For the past 83 shows, Swift has played an acoustic set she customizes at each stop with a guitar and piano performance. In 2024, the Eras Tour star added mashups of her songs for each stop. Here are the songs she has yet to perform:

• "Taylor Swift" (debut album): "Mary's Song" and "A Perfectly Good Heart"
• "Fearless": "The Way I Loved You," "Change," "Superstar," "We Were Happy," "That's When," "Don't You" and "Bye Bye Baby"
• "Red": "Girl At Home," "Ronan," "Forever Winter" and "Run"
• "1989": "Sweeter Than Fiction"
• "Reputation": "I Did Something Bad"
• "Lover": "London Boy," "Soon You'll Get Better" and "It's Nice to Have a Friend"
• "Folklore": "Hoax"
• "Evermore": "Happiness" and "Closure"
• "Midnights": "Paris" and "Glitch"
• "The Tortured Poets Department": all 31 tracks

Will Taylor Swift perform in 2025?

There have been many rumors that Swift will continue her show in 2025, but they are only rumors. Nothing has been announced for next year, and as of now, the tour will end in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Dec. 8.

Sam Hunt shares how he created his ‘Locked Up’ EP and how his music is changing with his life. He highlights how “Outskirts” has blown up during his tour, new country artists and more!

I don’t know about that. Maybe if Keith and I both two-on-one the kangaroo, we might be able to take him. I didn’t learn any skills while I was locked up.

Tetris Kelly: 

We caught up with Sam Hunt about his ‘Locked Up’ EP and tour and the newer country artists that even he’s nervous to be in front of.

Sam Hunt: 

The four songs are put together on an EP, but they really are part of a project I’ve been putting out for about two years now. One song at a time.

Tetris Kelly:

How is the ‘Locked Up’ EP different from your past work? What makes this creative process special?

They reflect this season of my life that I’ve been in. Getting older and writing from different perspectives now than I did early on. When you’re finished with the project. You’re always looking forward to that next one. So I’m already on to the next one in my mind, but I’m happy that these songs are out.

You can’t be there yet, you just put the EP out! And with “Outskirts” being a top five hit on country radio, how has Sam been loving it on tour?

It’s been great. It’s really been fun to watch. You know, we get our die-hard fans who know about the songs when they come out and they’ll sing the songs back at the live show. And then you hear the response grow when the song at radio has success.

Keep watching to learn more!

Childish Gambino is back: Rapper announces massive tour after new album drop

Multi-hyphenate Donald Glover is going back on tour as Childish Gambino.

The musician-writer-actor-director-producer surprised fans with the late-night release of "Atavista," a reworked version of his 2020 project "3.15.20."

The album drop was accompanied by news of an upcoming tour. “The New World Tour ,” which starts in August, will include performances in North America, Europe, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, according to Glover’s social media post.

Glover, who recently helped create and stars in a “Mr. & Mrs. Smith" series reboot for Amazon Prime , had previously told fans that his 2018 tour would be “the last Childish Gambino tour ever.”

But for weeks, Glover has been teasing Childish Gambino's return.

In April, Glover appeared at Coachella as a surprise guest during rapper Tyler, the Creator's headlining set.

After the appearance, Glover revealed on an Instagram livestream that he would release two final Childish Gambino albums.

He also shared the tracklist for the album on an Instagram Story. Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, Summer Walker and others are collaborators on the album.

On Sunday, Glover also released a music video for “ Little Foot Big Foot " feat. Young Nudy. The roughly six-minute black-and-white music video features Glover playing a jazz-age entertainer, and Quinta Brunson, the venue owner.

In addition to "Atavista," Glover said he would be releasing a new album this summer. He didn’t disclose a specific date.

A second album, Glover said, will be a soundtrack to his upcoming film "Bando Stone and the New World."

"This last Childish Gambino album is a soundtrack to this film and it's for my fans," he said.

Glover has been hinting at retirement for years, telling fans in 2017 that the Childish Gambino persona had an end date.

After winning a Grammy for best traditional R&B performance in 2018, he reiterated his intention to end the musical project.

PGA Championship picks 2024: Yes, we're going right back to Xander Schauffele

So far, the headlines at this week's PGA Championship have had very little to do with the golf that's set to take place at Valhalla. To that we say that Thursday morning cannot get here soon enough.

And once it does, enjoy it as much as you can, because sadly it's only so often we get to see the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm competing against one another these days. If their recent play is any indication, we're on track to watch all of them do serious battle on Sunday afternoon in Kentucky.

Our betting panel is comprised of a caddie reporting anonymously from the grounds of Memorial Park, Pat Mayo of Underdog/Mayo Media Network, Brandon Gdula of numberFire/FanDuel, Andy Lack of RunPureSports.com, your two authors and Keith Stewart, the CEO of Read The Line. Stewart, our newest member of the panel, is our new betting content partner as well.

PGA Championship picks 2024: Our Experts’ Outright Predictions  

Anonymous Caddie Picker of the week : Xander Schauffele (14-1, DraftKings) — He is going to win a major at some point. His form has been there the entire season. He did not lose last week, he just got beaten. I think a little bit of limelight will shy away from him and it’s a great golf course for him to succeed on. Obviously, he's not known as a big hitter, but he has all the length you would need to win around this big golf course.

Pat Mayo, Underdog/Fantasy National, Mayo Media Network analyst : Brooks Koepka (16-1, FanDuel) — Since the PGA of America decided to set up their courses to mimic U.S. Opens, Koepka has been the safest bet to contend. He enters off a win and is peaking at the exact time he does every year.

Brandon Gdula, FanDuel/numberFire managing editor : Brooks Koepka (16-1, FanDuel) — Koepka won last year’s PGA Championship after two top-five finishes on the LIV Tour, and this year, he enters with a T-9 and a two-shot win on a long course with small greens. While I don’t have as much data on Koepka as I’d like, it’s not the hardest case to build for Koepka when the form is clearly good overall and he’s still nuking it off the tee.

Keith Stewart, Read The Line: Brooks Koepka (16-1, FanDuel) — Valhalla Golf Club was built for Brooks Koepka. Tiger was the most prolific major winner of his time when he won here in 2000. The same comparison holds true for Rory McIlroy in 2014. Koepka has three PGA Championships and is the defending champion. Oak Hill is an excellent comp course for what I see this week on property in Louisville. Coming off a win at LIV Singapore, Brooks beat the field on the same exact agronomy as Valhalla; bentgrass greens and Zoysia fairways. I can keep going, but the reality is everyone on the PGA Tour has tried to beat Scottie Scheffler and can’t. I believe Koepka can’t wait for his turn this week in Kentucky.

Stephen Hennessey, Golf Digest dep. managing editor : Wyndham Clark (45-1, FanDuel) – You’re not here to hear Scottie will win. We bet numbers, and this number is preposterous. This is the defending U.S. Open champion who has shown he has top-five upside with his off-the-tee game, has one of the best short games in the world and can get hot with the putter. He’s also objectively a top-five player in the world, having won two additional signature events in the past 12 months. The implied probability of 2.2 percent that these odds imply simply are not correct.

Christopher Powers, Golf Digest staff writer : Xander Schauffele (14-1, DraftKings) — You can pencil his name in my slot for Pinehurst and Royal Troon, too (unless he wins this week in which case I’ll move on to someone new who will break me). It’s just something that I believe in my heart—Xander Schauffele is going to win a major in his career, and now would seem like the perfect time given how well he is striking the golf ball.

Andy Lack, Run Pure Sports and Inside Golf podcast : Jon Rahm (18-1, BetMGM) — Any time I’m getting who I still believe may be the second-best player in the world at 18-1, I have to bite. While Rahm’s lack of wins on the LIV Tour this season has been disappointing, he is still the only player to finish top 10 in every event. Valhalla feels like a tremendous course fit for the two-time major winner as well, as Rahm has dominated the Jack Nicklaus designed Muirfield Village, and has a ton of strong finishes on longer golf courses with thicker rough that test driving and long iron approach play.

Past results: The boys are officially HOT. Following Andy Lack’s correct prediction of Stephan Jager’s victory at the Houston Open (50-1), three of our experts—Stephen Hennessey, Pat Mayo and our anonymous caddie—hit on Akshay Bhatia (65-1) at the Valero Texas Open. That’s now our biggest hit of 2024, and it gives Mayo and our anonymous caddie their second wins of the year. Let’s keep it rolling in Louisville.

PGA Championship picks 2024: Sleepers/Dark Horses Who Could Win  

Caddie: Will Zalatoris (80-1, FanDuel) — Go bet on this man. Last week doesn’t count. He has played well this year and has become an average putter, which is all he needs to be.

Mayo : Will Zalatoris (80-1, FanDuel) — Zalatoris has played in five tournaments in 2024 that resemble Valhalla in terms of field, length and difficulty: Quail Hollow, Augusta, Riviera, Bay Hill and Torrey Pines. He was horrible at Quail a week ago, but holds finishes of second, T-4, T-9, and T-13 in the others. His betting odds have been crushed since two bad weeks post-Masters, and I’ll gladly scoop it up. Zalatoris trails only Scheffler and Rory in SG/total per round at major championships over the past three years , resulting in six top-10s in his past eight major starts.

Gdula: Sahith Theegala (70-1, FanDuel) — Theegala has plus distance and irons and is a great putter, so he checks the boxes for this week at Valhalla. He also has been in contention often enough due to the spike-week potential of his stats profile.

Stewart: Cam Smith (50-1, FanDuel) — Cam Smith is not a good enough ball-striker to win the PGA Championship. That’s what I’m told far too often. Smith finished 13th at Southern Hills and ninth at Oak Hill. Throw in a fourth place at LACC in the U.S. Open and sixth at this year’s Masters. Cam contends in every major because he can score better any other player in the field. Compare his short-game acumen to anyone under his odds, and he has the edge. Cam finished runner-up to Brooks in Singapore and has two top-three results in his last four starts on LIV. When things get messy this week, look for Smith to clean up.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Hideki Matsuyama (75-1, FanDuel) — Again, we bet numbers. I recognize Hideki was a late WD at Wells Fargo, but if the Japanese star tees it up, you’re getting an elite player who has been a top-five player at his peak this year. If he WDs again before the PGA, you’ll likely get your money back (if not, you can surely fight with the book for it back)—but if he does play, you have a player who’s an ideal fit for this course.

Powers, Golf Digest: Tyrrell Hatton (60-1, FanDuel) — For the past 15 months the Englishman has clearly been one of the best players on the planet, rising as high as fifth in the Official World Golf Ranking and still sitting at 18th currently despite his move to LIV. The top 10 at the Masters certainly helped, and I see no reason he won’t be in the mix again this week. Hatton is a high-end player who is at the peak of his powers, and he thrives on hard golf courses. If he can keep his head (unlikely), I love his chances.

Lack: Will Zalatoris (80-1, FanDuel) — I know that Will Zalatoris is coming off a disappointing performance at the Wells Fargo Championship, but we are still getting one of the best major players of the last five years at an incredibly disrespectful price. Zalatoris has not been shy to admit that these are the four weeks of the year that he builds his entire schedule around, and his skill set fits major championship setups to a tee.

PGA Championship picks 2024: Players We’re Fading  

Caddie: Collin Morikawa (30-1, FanDuel) — This was a hard one. Usually, I think one of the top players either might not be in form or a course might not fit them. It looks like all the top guys are playing well. The reason why I’m fading Morikawa here is simply because of length. With the rain, the golf course will play very long, and I think will give him more problems than the other top players.

Mayo : Ludvig Aberg (14-1, Caesars Sportsbook) — I’m concerned enough by this injury that his inflated price is just going to keep me away. Double his number and I’d buy back in. But that’s not happening.

Gdula: Jon Rahm (16-1, FanDuel) — Picking a fade at the very top is tough, but I’d rather go with Scheffler, Rory, Xander and Brooks of the favorites than Rahm, so he’s the least likely name among the favorites that I’d be in on this week.

Stewart: Xander Schauffele (14-1, DraftKings) — If I told you Xander Schauffele has EIGHT top-10 finishes in 11 starts this season, would you bet him TO WIN? When does contending too often without victories become a negative consideration? Schauffele had complete control at The Players and finished runner-up to a charging Scottie Scheffler. Last week at Wells Fargo, an even-par final round looked awfully tentative. His ability to break through will be challenged even more at a major championship. To put it in perspective, he essentially has the same odds to win as Brooks, who owns five of these. Now would you bet him?

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Ludvig Aberg (14-1, Caesars Sportsbook) — Yes, he finished second in his first-ever major. He’s a bonafide superstar. But he might still be nursing an injury, and there are a ton of great players without question marks.

Powers, Golf Digest: Joaquin Niemann (25-1, Caesars Sportsbook) — I’m a huge Niemann guy but I’ll just say it – the dude has zero top 10s in majors, and he’s played in 20 of them. Not exactly a small sample size for a supposedly elite player. Let’s see him do it for once before betting him at 25-1.

Lack: Max Homa (25-1, Bet365) — While it was a definite step in the right direction to see Max Homa contend at the Masters, he has still yet to prove his meddle on other major championship setups. In 10 U.S. Open and PGA Championship appearances, Homa has just one top-25 finish and zero top 10s. I’m going to need see a little bit more before I back him at this short of a price.

PGA Championship picks 2024: Matchups  

Caddie: Justin Thomas (+100) over Wyndham Clark (DraftKings) — Another hard golf course might be just what JT needed. A solid showing last week with some sporadic form over the last eight months and an underdog makes this too hard to pass up.

Mayo : Max Homa (-139) over Patrick Cantlay (Bet365) — Like Zalatoris, Homa has cleaned up at difficult, long courses this year. On the other hand, Cantlay has been pretty terrible overall. A little bit of juice wouldn’t scare me off this one.

Gdula: Tommy Fleetwood (-115) over Max Homa (FanDuel) — Fleetwood tends to show up at majors with four straight top 20s in them, and he has a long-term edge on Homa, who has started to turn things around in the big events. There’s value here.

Stewart: Cameron Young (+100) over Viktor Hovland (DraftKings) — Viktor Hovland showed some life on Sunday at Quail Hollow. His Sunday 69 on a tough golf course was his first clean scorecard in quite some time. With only one top 20 this year and a missed cut at the Masters, we still have more questions than answers. Cameron Young has five top-10 results in his last eight majors. We’re looking for a Louisville slugger at Valhalla, and Young is an elite driver of the ball. That advantage alone sets him apart enough to win this weeklong matchup.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Akshay Bhatia (-125) over Tom Kim (Bet365) — Akshay will be vibing around Valhalla, where he won the 2017 Junior PGA title. He returns a two-time PGA Tour winner and playing the best golf of his life. Bhatia loves shaping the ball off the tee and into the greens, which Valhalla can allow him to do. Tom Kim, on the other hand, hasn't had a top 10 on the PGA Tour all season and has lost strokes ball-strking in all but one event since February.

Powers, Golf Digest: Max Homa (+115) over Collin Morikawa (DraftKings) — Morikawa’s recent results look OK—three straight top 20s—but he’s somehow pieced them together with some shoddy iron play, normally the best area of his game. He’ll need that to be better to play well at Valhalla, which has me leaning with plus-money Max Homa, who has quickly gone from “stinks in majors” guy to a guy going for his third consecutive top-10 finish in the majors.

Lack: Joaquin Niemann (-150) over Cameron Smith (DraftKings) — This is an easy one, as I’m getting one of my favorite plays on the board against a player who I believe could largely struggle on this golf course. Driving has never been Cameron Smith’s strong suit, but his off-the-tee play has regressed even further this season, and he has yet to gain a stroke off the tee in any start this year. Modern PGA Championship setups tend to strongly penalize short and inaccurate driving, and I worry this aspect of his game will put Smith behind the eight ball.

Matchup Results from the Wells Fargo: Lack: 1 for 1 (Conners (-130) over Hoge); Caddie: 1 for 1 (B. An (-120) over Spieth); Mayo: 0 for 1; Powers: 0 for 1; Gdula: 0 for 1; Hennessey: 0 for 1; Stewart: 0 for 1

Matchup Results from this season (Wins-Losses-Pushes): Mayo: 12-6-1 (up 5.74 units); Lack 12-6-1 (up 4.83 units); Caddie: 12-6-0 (up 4.51 units); Powers: 8-8-2 (up 0.08 units); Gdula: 9-8-2 (down 0.13 units); Hennessey: 8-8-3 (down 1.01 units); Stewart: 8-11-0 (down 3.72 units)

PGA Championship picks 2024: Top 10s  

Caddie: Cameron Young (+450, DraftKings) — He’s long. He’s played well most of the season. He’s proven big tournaments are where he shines.

Mayo : Keegan Bradley (+1200, Bet365) — As a former Wanamaker hoister in decent form, it’s weird to see him priced behind some players who have absolutely no chance of winning. Good by me. Over 50 percent of PGA Championship winners have been repeat champions in the past 30 years, and Keegan hasn’t been bad as you might think. A lousy driver the last month has thrown some otherwise good numbers in the trash. After a top-25 finish at the Masters, Keegan has gained over four strokes on approach in each of his past two starts, both elevated events. The putter has reverted to bad Keegan, but he’s one of the few players in the field who can lose five strokes one week and gain five the next. If you really want to get frisky, join me in the $40 into $11K challenge !

Gdula: Bryson DeChambeau (+260, FanDuel) — DeChambeau has the distance (of course) to contend here and is in pretty good form of late. He was T-6 at the Masters and then followed it up with two finishes outside the top 25 on the LIV Tour – but really had just one weak round out of those six.

Stewart: Bryson DeChambeau (+260, FanDuel) — Walking the grounds at Valhalla, I am reminded of two major setups in recent years. The first, Oak Hill last year, where Bryson DeChambeau finished fourth. The second comp is Winged Foot in 2020, where Bryson won the U.S. Open by six strokes and was the only player under par. Long, wet golf courses give him such an advantage. Throw in a very carefully orchestrated sixth place at Augusta National last month and I’m all-in on this bomber and 10 places.

Hennessey, Golf Digest: Bryson DeChambeau (+260, FanDuel) — Bryson’s run at Augusta National, a course where he’s traditionally struggled, is a great sign for Valhalla. He’ll thrive here with the extreme length needed and the thick rough.

Powers, Golf Digest: Jason Day (+500, DraftKings) — Once a top-10 machine in the majors, Day has just one major top 10 in his last 10 major starts. But that one came last year at the Open Championship and, as he’s proven numerous times over the last year, the Aussie still has very good golf left in him. Coming off a top five at Wells Fargo, Day appears in solid form and ready to make another run.

Lack: Joaquin Niemann (+300, DraftKings) — Joaquin Niemann has been playing arguably the best golf on the LIV Tour this year, with six top 10s and two wins in seven starts. The young Chilean has always possessed the modern skill set of power off the tee and long iron play that should suit major championship golf, and it is only a matter of time before his inevitable breakthrough.

Top-10 results from the Wells Fargo: Gdula: 1 for 1 (Russell Henley +400); Everybody else: 0 for 1

Top-10 results from this season: Hennessey: 4 for 19 (up 0.65 units); Caddie: 4 for 18 (down 0.65 units); Mayo: 3 for 19 (down 3 units); Gdula: 3 for 19 (down 3.5 units); Lack: 4 for 19 (down 4.45 units); Powers: 3 for 19 (down 8.4 units); Stewart: 3 for 19 (down 9.42 units)

Trump defense cross-examines Michael Cohen in hush money trial

By CNN's Kara Scannell, Lauren Del Valle and Jeremy Herb in the courthouse

Cohen says he wore the t-shirt showing Trump behind bars on his TikTok show last week

Todd Blanche asks Michael Cohen to confirm he wore the t-shirt showing Donald Trump behind bars on his TikTok last week.

"I did," Cohen responds.

And you were encouraging people to buy it, Blanche asks.

"Yes, it's part of the merch store," Cohen says.

Defense shows merch about Trump that Cohen sells on site

The jury is being shown a photo of the T-shirt that Michael Cohen sells on his "Mea Culpa" website depicting a handcuffed Trump in an orange jumpsuit.

Trump attorney Todd Blanche also shows an enlarged photo of a coffee mug that is sold on the site, which reads: "Send him to the big house, not the White House."

Cohen confirms he wants Trump to be convicted in this case

Asked if he wanted Trump to be convicted in this case, Michael Cohen responded "sure."

Defense attorney Todd Blanche posed a series of questions to Cohen regarding his podcast and personal feelings about the case.

Here's how that exchange went:

"Have you regularly commented on your podcasts that you want President Trump to be convicted in this case?" Blanche asks. "Yes, probably," Cohen says. "Do you have any doubt?" Blanche responds. "No," Cohen says. Asked why he answered it that way, Cohen says, "Because I don’t specifically know if I used those words but yes I would like to see that." "Do you want to see President Trump convicted in this case?" Blanche asks. "Sure," Cohen says. Blanche follows up and asks him to answer the question "yes" or "no." Cohen responds, "Sure."

Cohen says one of the reasons he does TikToks is to make money

Todd Blanche asks Michael Cohen if he makes the nightly TikToks to earn money.

Cohen answers, "Money is made from it, yes."

Blanche responds:

"That's not my question. One of the reasons you do it is to make money, yes or no?

"Yes," Cohen says.

Trump sits back with eyes closed as his lawyer questions Cohen

Trump is not reacting to any of the back-and-forth between Michael Cohen and defense attorney Todd Blanche, as he sits back in his chair with his eyes closed.

Cohen testifies that he talks about Trump 6 days a week on TikTok

Trump attorney Todd Blanche is asking Michael Cohen more questions about his TikTok account.

"Out of seven nights a week, how many nights do you think you talk about President Trump?" he asks.

"I only do it six days a week. I would say six days a week," Cohen says.

Cohen says he makes money on TikTok but "it’s not significant" as Blanche asks him about social media use

Trump attorney Todd Blanche went on to ask Michael Cohen about how active he is on social media platforms.

"You also are active on Twitter, on X?" Blanche asked.

"That’s correct," Cohen said. Blanche then asked if he's also active on TikTok.

"Correct," Cohen said.

Cohen said he goes on TikTok an hour a night. Blanche asked what the goal is.

Cohen said, "Build an audience, to create a community, to really vent because I have a difficult time sleeping so I found an outlet."

Blanche asked if he also made money on that platform. "It does make money, but it’s not significant," Cohen said. 

Cohen says he records 4 podcasts a week and Trump is mentioned in every one

Michael Cohen says he does each of his two podcasts twice per week, making it four per week.

Cohen says he records the podcasts all year long.

He confirms Donald Trump comes up in every podcast episode.

"I would say he's mentioned in every one, yes."

Cohen testifies that district attorney's office asked him to not speak about case

Michael Cohen is being questioned about being asked by the district attorney's office to refrain from speaking about the case.

"After the indictment, you have been warned repeatedly by the district attorney’s office to not talk about this case?" Blanche asks.

Blanche asks what have they said.

Blanche asks Cohen when he met with the DA's office on several occasions. Cohen says they'd tell him directly, “Probably better off if you don’t speak about it."

Cohen puts the number of times they told him not to talk to the press about the case at fewer than five times.

"And you have not followed their request or whatever word you want me to use?" Blanche asks.

Cohen says, "That’s correct. I’m responding..." and Blanche cuts him off.

WEATHER ALERT

6 warnings and a watch in effect for 21 regions in the area

Nelly korda shoots 69 in founders, leaving her 6 shots back in bid for 6th lpga tour win in a row.

CLIFTON, N.J. – Nelly Korda is going to have some work to do to win a record sixth straight LPGA Tour title, especially the way Rose Zhang is playing.

Korda shot a relatively mistake-free 3-under 69 early in the first round of the Cognizant Founders Cup on Thursday and then could only watch as the 20-year-old Zhang tied tghe tournament record with a 63 in the afternoon to take the lead.

In her winning streak, Korda has never trailed by more than eight strokes after the opening round. The 25-year-old was six back in this one with a slew of players ahead of her heading into the second round at the Upper Montclair Country Club.

Rain was in the forecast the next two days.

“There is still three more days,” said Korda, who had four birdies and a bogey. “You still have a lot of things that you — I know the weather is not supposed to be great and there is just different factors that go into the rest of the tournament. So it’s definitely nice to get a good round in. You know, still a long, long ways away from Sunday.”

Zhang also has to be a concern after needing only 25 putts in posting the best professional round of her career. The two-time NCAA champion from Stanford won New Jersey in her professional debut at the Mizuho Americas Open about a year ago. She has not won since but she played like a champion Thursday, a bogey-free round that included nine birdies.

Zhang had a two-shot lead over Madelene Sagstrom of Sweden, who set the tournament record in 2022. Leona Maguire of Ireland, Stephanie Kyriacou of Australia and Narin An of South Korea were three shots back and one ahead of Lindsey Weaver-Wright and Mel Reid of England.

“It was almost just auto-command kind of golf,” said Zhang, whose has missed two cuts in six starts this year. "I feel like in the last couple weeks it’s been a little bit difficult. I’ve been struggling a little bit with the golf swing and gaining confidence in my preparation.

“But going into this week I kind of let it all go; let the expectations go a little bit more,” she added. “I was able to free myself up a little bit, which was really nice to see some shots go in, especially on the greens. I was able to get some putting momentum in, so it was really nice.”

Korda, who fulfilled a childhood dream by walking on the red carpet at the Met Gala on Monday, played with defending champion Jin Young Ko (72) and 2022 winner Minjee Lee (70). They were followed by about 100 fans, who politely cheered the players. Among the fans were five women wearing black T-shirts with “Everyone Watches Nelly Korda” on the front.

Sagstrom, who finished third two years ago, had six birdies, an eagle and a bogey playing in the first threesome off the back nine. She finished 10th last year.

“This golf course first of all suits my eye really well,” Sagstrom said. “I’ve been playing around with the ball flight a little bit. My coach, Hans (Larsson), is in town. This is the third year he’s here, too. We love the golf course.”

Hannah Green, who has won twice on tour this year, including the JM Eagle Los Angeles Championship in the last tour event, also was at 69 along with Lydia Ko, who needs one more win to make the LPGA Hall of Fame.
