“We couldn’t be more thrilled with how our first year came together,” said Ken Kennerly, Executive Director. “The feedback from fans and players alike has been incredible—and the NFL legends are already asking about next year. We believe this championship has a very bright future.”
Tournament Highlights:
• Ángel Cabrera captured the inaugural championship title with rounds of 68-66-71, earning his first U.S. win since 2014 and finishing two strokes ahead of K.J. Choi. Cabrera took home $330,000 and secured full-exempt status on the PGA TOUR Champions.
• Tim Brown (Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015) teamed up with PGA TOUR Champions pro Tim O’Neal to win the “Hall of Fame” division at -14 under par. “It’s been a great week, one I’m going to remember for a long time,” said Tim Brown. “Getting a chance to play with these great golfers was amazing, to watch how they go about their business and deal with the ups and downs of golf. It was a blast.”
Beyond the Fairway:
• The Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute Women’s Pro-Am (March 30–31) combined sport, wellness and philanthropy.

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej
Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
