Adjusted EBITDA in 2024. We are excited about the potential synergies available
by acquiring PointsBet’s U.S. business, including offering our customers
interesting new bet types and accelerating our roadmap of bringing in-house
more of our mobile sports betting technology.”
Michael Jordan to
Sell Majority Stake in Charlotte Hornets, and First Round of US Open Sees
Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele Shoot 62
The Associated
Press reports that
basketball legend Michael Jordan is selling his majority ownership stake of the
Charlotte Hornets. Jordan bought the team in 2010 for about $275 million, and
will reportedly sell to a group led by Gabe Plotkin, a minority stakeholder in
the Hornets, and Rick Schnall, a minority owner of the Atlanta Hawks. NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver commented:
“In the same way that it’s wonderful that one of our greatest, Michael
Jordan, could become the principal governor of a team, he has the absolute
right to sell at the same time. Values have gone up a lot since he bought that
team, so that is his decision.”
ESPN reported that the opening round of the
123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club saw American Rickie Fowler pour in
10 birdies in a single round to shoot 62. This was the first 62 recorded in a round
at the U.S. Open in 122 years. Also, the scoring average in the first round was
71.38, the lowest in an opening round of a U.S. Open in the past 90 years.
Fowler was followed in short order by Xander Schauffele, who who fired a
bogey-free 62. Schauffele commented:
"The sun didn't come out and it was misting this morning, so I'd
say the greens held a little bit more moisture than anticipated. And then the
fairways are a little bit softer, too, because of that sort of overcast, and
without the sun out it's not drying out much. I think fairways are easier to
hit and greens are a little bit softer."
