Minneapolis considers first downtown indoor playground for winter play. Minneapolis city planners are considering an indoor playground downtown as they survey residents on whether the idea would bring more families to the area. The city is in the early stages of the idea and is asking residents about parking, security and spending habits. City planners are also asking about different parts of downtown as they study whether an indoor playground makes sense. “Where are you supposed to go in the winter… There’s not too many places to take kids to play,” said Minneapolis resident Isabella Reichert, who works as a nanny. Places like that are already common in suburbs, including Edina and Eagan, but this would be a first in Minneapolis. Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier has confirmed LIV Golf’s financial backing from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) will come to an end after the 2026 season, delivering the clearest indication yet that the Saudi-funded breakaway league faces an uncertain future beyond next year. Baier, citing two sources with direct knowledge of the situation, revealed that while the PIF will continue to fund LIV Golf through the remainder of the 2026 campaign, its long-term financial commitment is set to be withdrawn as part of a broader shift in priorities. The funding through 2026 is expected to cover all major operational aspects of the league, including player contracts, television agreements and tournament staging.

He had to wait only a year to take home a second green jacket. After squandering a record six-stroke lead in Saturday's third round, McIlroy briefly lost the lead again Sunday before taking control on the second nine at Augusta National to become the first back-to-back Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001-02 and the fourth overall (Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo).
