The European Ryder Cup team announced a major revision to its automatic qualification system for the 2025 match at Bethpage Black. The team, which is run by the DP World Tour, had previously used a two-list format for automatic qualifiers, picking from a European Points standing (a nod to performances on the DP World Tour) and World Points standing (bringing in play at the majors and PGA Tour events). The Euros have abandoned that format, instead opting for just one standing that will award six automatic spots, one which will favor global and American play over the Old World circuit.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
