New career-high for major champ
Officials hope newly minted major champion Grace Kim will again headline the WPGA on the Gold Coast and play for the Karrie Webb Cup, with the Australian legend declaring Kim's breakthrough could provide the mental 'freedom' to win more. Kim, who has jumped a mammoth 74 places on the world rankings to a career-high 25 after taking out the Evian Championship in France in stunning fashion, was set to tee it up in March before the tournament was cancelled due to fears over Cyclone Alfred. It looms as one of the few events for Kim to play in at home in 2025 after the women's Australian Open was shifted to February 2026 when Golf Australia ditched the dual-gender format in favour of stand-alone national Opens. Webb, who won seven majors, has a close bond with Kim, who won the Karrie Webb Scholarship four times, and the fourth time the pair spent six days together on a US road trip playing courses including Pine Valley and Winged Foot and sharing a hotel room. After seeing the 24-year-old's miraculous eagle, birdie, eagle finish to win on a second playoff hole against world No.2 Jeeno Thitikul, Webb was confident the win, as well as the $1.8m winner's cheque and five years of playing security, would combine to unleash an all-new, extra confident Kim. 'I think this will take the lid off now,' said Webb, who watched Kim close out the tournament from her Florida home. 'I think Grace knows she's got a place to play for five years. Financially, this will give her some breathing room just to go and play, so I'm excited to see what she can do now with a bit of freedom. 'She has put in so much hard work. I played with her before she won her scholarship and her game's night and day from that 15, 16, 17-year-old to now. She didn't hit it very far back then. She really relied on her short game a lot. 'Now, she hits it long enough and she's a terrific ball striker. She's a very smart player.' For her part, Kim also conceded the mental side of her game was the area that would lift her to new heights. 'I think I've come to learn that it's not quite my game technically. It's more on course, just the skills that I have to learn through experience being on the Tour week in, week out,' she said after collecting her trophy. Kim also recognised the 'money can't buy' experience of that road trip with Webb in helping shape her career. 'I don't know golf courses very well, but we played Pine Needles ... sorry, Pine Valley, and I didn't quite know the big deal about it,' she said. 'So played Pine Valley, played Winged Foot. It was just an incredible week with her. It was a whole week. We shared a hotel room, so, yeah, memory that money can't buy.' The 2026 Australian WPGA Championship and Festival of Golf will return to the Gold Coast from March 19-22 in 2026, with The Palms course at the renowned Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club to host the action.

Kate Middleton Caught Off Guard by Fan Yelling 'I Love You' at Wimbledon
Kate Middleton Caught Off Guard by Fan Yelling 'I Love You' at Wimbledon originally appeared on Parade. Kate Middleton quickly became the star of Wimbledon — and fans didn't hold back their admiration for the Princess of Wales. On Sunday, July 13, Princess Kate, 43, took to Centre Court to present trophies to the men's finalists, first-time Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner of Italy, and runner-up Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, who had won the title in both 2023 and 2024. As Kate made her way to the ceremony, a fan broke the usual hush of Centre Court, shouting, "I love you, Kate!" The princess appeared to hear the call and responded with a warm chuckle. Following the sweet moment, Kate presented the awards in her official role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club — a title she's held since 2016, passed down from Queen Elizabeth II. The Princess of Wales wasn't the only royal in attendance. She was joined by Prince William and, in a surprise appearance, their two oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. However, one royal family member was noticeably absent, 7-year-old Prince Louis. While he didn't attend in person, his parents made sure he was included in the celebrations. After the awards ceremony, the royal family met the new men's champion. During their chat, the royals asked about his post-win plans and the status of his elbow injury — but it was a sweet interaction between Sinner and Charlotte, 10, that stole the spotlight. The young royal held out three tennis balls for him to sign, and as he did, Kate told the Italian star, "Thank you so much, that's really kind." "We brought one for their brother as well," she added, with William chiming in, "Louis would be very upset otherwise," prompting laughter between the two. This isn't the first time the royal children have attended the iconic tournament. Prince George made his Wimbledon debut in 2022 just before turning 9, while Charlotte attended her first match during the 2023 men's final when she was 8. As for Louis, fans speculate that he may make his debut when he's a bit older — likely around the same age as his siblings. Kate Middleton Caught Off Guard by Fan Yelling 'I Love You' at Wimbledon first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
