Golf-LIV Golf and HSBC announce multi-year partnership
(Reuters) -LIV Golf and HSBC announced a multi-year partnership on Thursday that will see the London-headquartered bank become the official international banking partner of the Saudi-backed league and sponsor two of its 13 teams.
The partnership with HSBC will span the entirety of LIV Golf's 14-event season and start with this week's LIV Golf Andalucia event at Real Club Valderrama in Spain.
It also includes team-specific support for twice major champion Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC team as well as the Majesticks GC squad that is co-captained by Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson.
"HSBC's track record in supporting and advancing the game of golf is inspiring and admirable, and we are proud to welcome them into LIV Golf's growing roster of global partners,' LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil said in a press release.
LIV Golf, which attracted some of the sport's biggest names through mega-money contracts and lucrative purses, is currently in its fourth season with five events remaining on the 2025 schedule.

Germany Fall to Sweden 4-1 After Wamser Red Card
GERMANY'S hopes of topping Group C crashed after a red card for defender Carlotta Wamser that was the deciding factor in the team's 4-1 defeat by Sweden, coach Christian Wueck said after their final group game at the Women's Euros. Following a bright start, capped with a goal from Jule Brand, Germany were second best for most of the match at Zurich's Letzigrund stadium. Sweden hit back with two goals before Wamser handled on the goal-line in the 31st minute. She was sent off, and Sweden's Fridolina Rolfo scored from the spot. 'The red card was decisive in us not coming back,' said Wueck. 'I think after the penalty, after the 3-1 and one player less on the pitch it was clear that it would be very, very difficult for us to come back against this Swedish team.' He had thought Germany might still get chances in the second half. 'But the quality of the Swedes is of course almost impossible to combat with one player less,' Rolfo said. Germany did not make enough of their first 15-minute spell and struggled with Sweden's counter-attacking, he said. The Swedes scored again in the second half to win 4-1 and top Group C. Germany finished second to qualify for the quarter-finals, where they will play France, Netherlands or England, depending on the outcome of Sunday's Group D matches. 'We wanted to win this game, we clearly went into this game wanting to finish first in the group,' Wueck said. 'And that's why we're a bit down now. 'Again, of course you have to look at the game, you have to take the positives out of it, you also have to clarify and analyse the negatives with the players,' he said. 'But I think we were outnumbered for 60 minutes. You can't forget that either.' - REUTERS

Katie Taylor Beats Serrano Again, Keeps Undisputed Title
KATIE TAYLOR retained her undisputed super lightweight championship on Friday, completing a trilogy sweep against Amanda Serrano on a history-making night atop the first all-women's boxing card at Madison Square Garden on Friday. The two fighters brought women's boxing to new heights through their fierce rivalry as a sell-out crowd at the world's most famous arena watched the Irishwoman just edge out her opponent. The judges scored the fight 95-95, 97-93. Their first meeting at Madison Square Garden three years ago was billed as the biggest fight in women's boxing, as they were the first women to headline a fight at the arena. Taylor triumphed by judges' decisions in their prior two meetings as well, including a controversial clash in November, where the referee docked Taylor a point for head butts. Friday's fight on Netflix marked the streaming giant's latest foray into live sports, which experts say has driven subscriber growth after the debut of National Football League games late last year - REUTERS
