🚨 MASTERS INVITATION SHAKE-UP 🚨
The Masters is changing how players qualify.

🏌️‍♂️ Instead of inviting PGA Tour fall winners, Augusta National will now send invitations to winners of six major national opens worldwide:
🇪🇸 Spanish Open
🇯🇵 Japan Open
🇭🇰 Hong Kong Open
🇦🇺 Australian Open
🇿🇦 South African Open
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Open

Organizers say this move highlights the global nature of golf. However, it may increase competition given last year, four of the seven fall winners were outside the top 100 in the world ranking.

Do you like this change? ⛳️👇

The belonging Fund, created after the ICE crackdown to support immigrant families is expanding how its donations can be used.

On the organization’s website it now says they plan to provide legal support through nonprofits. This on top of other specialized healthcare (mental, and medical).

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles has pushed back in the past, calling for an audit and raising concerns that using the funds this way could violate federal and state laws, especially if those funds are used to help undocumented immigrants.

The Community Foundation says the change responds to growing needs and stresses that all money comes from private donations, never taxpayer dollars.

Do you support the efforts to provide legal services to immigrants?
