F1 Owner Expands Motorsport Empire with MotoGP Takeover
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The owner of Formula One, Liberty Media Corporation, confirmed on July 3 that it has completed the purchase of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports. Apart from F1, Quint, and other minority investments, the American organization now lists MotoGP as a subsidiary. Liberty Media, a renowned player in the sports, media, and entertainment sector, acquired 84 percent of Dorna. The remaining 16 percent is held by the MotoGP management. The news arrives days after Newsweek Sports reported that Liberty Media was granted unconditional approval for the acquisition of Dorna for a reported $4.4 billion. Confirming the transaction, MotoGP stated: Team Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez (R) leads the race at the start of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix at the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, northeastern Spain, on June 8, 2025. Team Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez (R) leads the race at the start of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix at the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, northeastern Spain, on June 8, 2025. JOSE JORDAN / AFP/Getty Images "Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media") (Nasdaq: FWONA, FWONK, LLYVA, LLYVK) and Dorna Sports, S.L. ("Dorna"), the exclusive commercial rights holder of the MotoGP™ World Championship ("MotoGP"), announced today that Liberty Media has completed its acquisition of Dorna. "Following transaction close, Liberty Media's Formula One Group is composed of its subsidiaries Formula 1, MotoGP, and Quint, and other minority investments." The takeover of MotoGP was supposed to conclude last year, but given the high-profile nature of the acquisition, the deal was under the European Union's lens, which carried out an investigation to understand the deal's impact on broadcasters and streaming platforms, especially given that two motorsport giants, F1 and MotoGP, would belong to a common owner. Following the European Union's approval, Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna, who will continue to manage MotoGP, said in a statement: "We are very happy that the European Commission has approved the transaction. This is an important milestone confirming the even brighter future that lies ahead for MotoGP. "MotoGP is one of the most thrilling sports on Earth, and we look forward to accelerating the sport's growth and expanding its reach to even more fans around the world. Liberty is the best possible partner for our sport and the entire MotoGP community, and we are excited to create even greater value for our fans, commercial partners and everyone competing." Liberty Media President and CEO, Derek Chang said: "Today's approval from the European Commission marks the final condition to closing Liberty's acquisition of MotoGP. We are thrilled to officially commence Liberty's partnership with Carmelo and his excellent management team. "MotoGP is a highly attractive premium sports asset with incredible racing, a passionate fanbase and a strong cash flow profile. We believe the sport and brand have significant growth potential, which we will look to realize through deepening the connection with the core fan base and expanding to a wider global audience." Considering the success F1 has witnessed since its acquisition by Liberty Media in 2017, and its expansion into new markets such as America, one could expect MotoGP to grow in a similar manner.

PGA Tour Pro Throws R&A Under the Bus amid Open Championship Mystery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With less than five weeks left until the FedEx Cup Playoffs begin on August 6th, PGA Tour players are scrambling for every point that could punch their ticket to the postseason. A few events offer more leverage than others, like the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, where 600 FedEx Cup points are up for grabs. But for one PGA Tour winner, the only thing more frustrating than missing out is not knowing if he's even in, and he's not staying quiet about it. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 15: Michael Kim of the United States prepares to play his shot from the third tee during the final round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June... OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 15: Michael Kim of the United States prepares to play his shot from the third tee during the final round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 15, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) More Getty Images Michael Kim, currently ranked No. 55 in the Official World Golf Ranking and 29th in the FedEx Cup standings, took to X on Thursday to call out the R&A for its lack of communication regarding his Open Championship status. "You'd think with less than two weeks before the Open Champ starts, the R&A could give me a decent idea of whether I'm playing it or not... but nope," Kim wrote. "All I've gotten is 'you have a slight chance.'" He followed up with another jab: "My friend who looked at all the qualifications has given me more info than the R&A has." "There's still 6 spots left and if they fill it with OWGR, then I'm most likely in—but even that they won't say anything about." Kim's frustration isn't unfounded. With a strong 2025 season that includes three top-10 finishes and a T4 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he's been one of the most consistent performers outside the top tier. His OWGR average of 2.09 and FedEx Cup total of 1,057 points put him ahead of several players. Meanwhile, the R&A has continued to finalize its 156-player field, with recent additions including Sergio Garcia, who earned his spot via the LIV Golf exemption after landing fifth in the LIV Golf's standings. Lee Westwood, another LIV veteran, qualified through Final Qualifying at Dundonald Links, marking his first Open appearance since 2022. Other big names confirmed include Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Tommy Fleetwood. To date, six spots remain unfilled, and the R&A has yet to clarify whether they'll be awarded via OWGR, alternates, or special exemptions. For players like Kim, who sit on the bubble, the silence is deafening. More Golf: Tommy Fleetwood lookin' good at Wimbledon after Travelers Heartbreak

Wisconsin's highest-rated players in EA Sports College Football 26
Wisconsin's top-rated players in EA Sports College Football 26 shouldn't come as much of a surprise. They are: senior cornerback Ricardo Hallman (90 overall) and senior right tackle Riley Mahlman (89 overall). The veterans are two of the program's longest-tenured returning starters entering the 2025 season. Each joined the Badgers with the class of 2021, Mahlman as a four-star recruit and Hallman as one of the class' more underrated prospects. They then each took similar paths to playing time. Hallman started eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2022, totaling nine tackles, one for loss, one interception and three pass deflections. Mahlman also entered that season as a starter, though only played in seven games after suffering an injury during the season-opener. The two have been some of the Big Ten's best at their respective positions since that shared breakthrough season. Hallman was a Third Team All-American in 2023 after a 34-tackle, seven-interception campaign. Mahlman did not share the same accolade, though he has been among ProFootballFocus' highest-graded Big Ten offensive linemen over the last two seasons, plus again projects as one of the conference's best entering 2025. The cornerback and offensive lineman will lead the Badgers' defense and offense, respectively, in 2025. Hallman is the team's clear top cornerback, and may need to shoulder a greater responsibility with top underclassman Xavier Lucas gone to Miami. Mahlman, on the other hand, will again slot in at right tackle to begin the season. He will anchor an offensive line that lost starting left tackle Kevin Heywood to a spring practice injury. Stay tuned throughout the month as EA Sports unveils the rest of its rankings for the new edition of its video game.
