Late NFL owner's home on course where John Daly made history is on sale for $12 million
Built in 1996, the home sits on 9.4 gated acres and features a Zen garden, seven fireplaces, a private Par 3 golf hole, full nanny's quarters with kitchen, an indoor pool pavilion, a home theater and speakeasy and a full-size indoor basketball court with Colts markings on the hardwood.
"Subtle touches throughout reflect Irsay's pride in the Colts organization and his vision of home as a place of both inspiration and retreat," listing agent Steve Decatur, who confirmed to IndyStar the home belonged to Irsay, said in a statement. "Rarely does a property of this scale, provenance, and privacy become available — a true legacy estate in the heart of the Midwest.
The 6-bedroom, 12-bath home includes two primary suites (on the main floor and upper level), an outdoor resort-style pool with an expansive entertaining space, tennis court with viewing pavilion, custom children's play area and a 6-car garage at the main residence, according to the listing provided by Decatur with The Decatur Group of Century 21 Real Estate.
The property was "designed for both serenity and grandeur," reads the listing.
In addition to the massive main residence, there are two standalone guest homes, including The Cabin, a newly built 2,700 square foot abode with three bedrooms and three and a half baths. A second cottage features two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
"This world-class estate is one of Central Indiana's most iconic and private residential offerings," the listing says.
The home borders Crooked Stick, a nationally acclaimed Pete Dye-designed course known for hosting major championships, including the 1991 PGA Championship, on Aug. 11, 1991, when John Daly mesmerized and shocked the golf world by taking the title.
"This is like a miracle," Daly said after draining a four-foot par putt on the final hole. "It just doesn't happen that often."
Irsay died in his sleep at the age of 65 on May 21.

Colts RB Salvon Ahmed suffers ‘severe leg injury' after hip-drop tackle in training camp
WESTFIELD, Ind. — Indianapolis Colts running back Salvon Ahmed suffered a 'severe leg injury' during training camp practice Sunday, Colts coach Shane Steichen announced. Practice was briefly stopped while Ahmed was carted off the field. The injury occurred when Ahmed broke a long run during an 11-on-11 period. He was tackled from behind by undrafted rookie safety Trey Washington, but when Washington grabbed Ahmed, who kept his legs churning, Washington used a hip-drop tackle to bring Ahmed down and landed on his lower right leg. Ahmed immediately grabbed his lower right leg and screamed in agony. Advertisement Steichen said the players in the developmental periods (essentially third-stringers and players lower than them on the depth chart) were instructed to tackle during 11-on-11. However, Steichen emphasized, Washington's hip-drop tackle was obviously the wrong way to bring Ahmed down. 'We don't encourage hip-drop tackles,' Steichen said. 'We know Trey is down in the dumps, and I don't think he was trying to do that. We're just trying to create an edge … especially in the developmental (periods). Those guys are gonna have to tackle come preseason. So, our thoughts and prayers are with Salvon, and we wish him a speedy recovery.' Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, both of whom have been team captains in each of the last two years, immediately consoled Ahmed after the injury. Ahmed's lower right leg was placed in an air cast, and the whole team eventually surrounded Ahmed to show their support. Free safety Cam Bynum led the team in a prayer for Ahmed before he was placed on a stretcher and carted away. Ahmed placed a towel over his head as he left the field, and the crowd gave him a round of applause. Practice was stopped for about 10 minutes while trainers attended to Ahmed. Steichen said he spoke to the team leaders, including linebacker Zaire Franklin, about whether or not to resume practice. Franklin is rehabbing from left ankle surgery and appeared in his first 7-on-7 period during training camp Sunday. He and his teammates chose to continue. 'I love Salvon,' Franklin said. 'I've known Salvon for about nine years. I knew him back when he was at (the University of Washington), back when I was training in Seattle as a young pup. Extremely tough (situation). Praying for him, loving on him. Obviously, I'm gonna shoot him a text. I know he's probably going through all kinds of mental stuff right now.' Advertisement Ahmed, who went undrafted in 2020, has played 38 games in his NFL career, all with the Miami Dolphins. His best season was with the Dolphins in 2020, when he totaled 75 carries for 319 yards and three TDs in just six games. Washington, who played collegiately at Ole Miss, looked distraught after injuring Ahmed. Franklin empathized with Washington and offered support. 'Young Trey, he's competing for a job, straight up,' Franklin said. 'So, he's out here trying to compete and trying to be better. We're warriors on that field. When we step on the field, we understand what the possibilities are. Obviously, we're a team. We're not trying to hurt each other, but at the same time, we're competing. These guys are trying to feed their families. It's a part of the game, but definitely a tough break for Salvon and definitely praying for him.'

Shane Steichen hints at preseason plans for Colts' QBs Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones
A starter for the Colts' first preseason game hasn't been announced yet, but Shane Steichen hinted at what the preseason plan could look like. We don't know the full details of the Indianapolis Colts' Week 1 preseason plan at quarterback, but Shane Steichen hinted at what things could look like. When speaking to the media after Sunday's practice, Steichen wasn't ready to reveal who will be starting against Baltimore on Thursday; he first wants to discuss that with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, but he did mention that both would play. Along with that, from the sounds of it, whoever starts in Week 1 of the preseason will see the majority of the snaps in that game, while in Week 2, the other will then start and take the bulk of the snaps. "They'll play a good amount," Steichen said of Jones and Richardson's playing time in the preseason. "One will play a good amount this game and the next one will probably play a good amount in the next game." Richardson had strung together multiple positive performances in practices over the last week before taking a step back on Saturday. However, bad days are going to happen; what's important is being able to rebound, which Richardson did during Sunday's practice. Overall, Richardson has been much more efficient on the shorter to intermediate throws, which was an area of emphasis for him this offseason. 'Everything's cleaner right now,' Steichen said after Thursday's practice, via 'He's playing at a high level, he's making good decisions with the football, taking the completions when needed, so it's been really good to see.' Jones has had his ups and downs as well, but was "solid" in Sunday's practice, as Nate Atkins of the Indy Star put it. However, Atkins also added that he would like to see Jones "rip one" as well. Jake Arthur of Horseshoe Huddle echoed similar sentiments, posting that Jones "could use some more flash." While Jones has been relatively efficient in his career, completing 64% of his throws, he and the Giants' offense struggled to generate explosive plays. As Steichen has said on numerous occasions, consistency is what he's searching for at the position. That doesn't only revolve around completion percentage, but everything that goes into playing quarterback. While every practice performance matters, these preseason games are going to carry more weight when it's decision time. Prior to Thursday's preseason game with Baltimore, the Ravens are hosting the Colts for a joint practice on Tuesday.
