Rory McIlroy's caddie outearns two Masters winners this year with hefty paycheck
Harry Diamond has been Rory McIlroy's caddie for the best part of a decade and was the first person to embrace the Northern Irishman after he won the Masters Rory McIlroy's childhood mate and long-standing caddie, Harry Diamond, has been by his side through thick and thin. The 41-year-old was the first to congratulate McIlroy after the world No. 2 clinched the Masters, completing the Grand Slam and ending an agonising 11-year wait for a major. The Holywood duo first crossed paths on the putting greens of their local golf club. Although Diamond isn't a professional golfer himself, he's raked in more cash than many top players in recent years. In 2025 alone, it's estimated that McIlroy's right-hand man has pocketed around £1.2million. This figure is based on McIlroy's winnings of roughly £12.2m, as it is standard practice for a caddie to receive about 10% of their player's prize money. Diamond's projected 2025 earnings exceed those of former Masters champions Zach Johnson and Danny Willett, who have bagged around £651,000 and £397,000 this year, respectively. However, it's also possible that Diamond receives a weekly wage topped up with a bonus of around 7-10 percent. Naturally, only Diamond and McIlroy can confirm or refute the specifics of their arrangement, but the above is generally accepted as the norm in the sport. One thing's for sure; McIlroy would find it very odd to compete in a major without his mate by his side. The five-time major champion didn't hold back on his appreciation for Diamond after clinching the Masters title. In a heartfelt interview at Augusta, McIlroy recalled a pivotal moment shared with his close confidant during the tense play-off hole against Justin Rose. McIlroy had just missed what could have been the winning putt on the 18th when he and Diamond prepared for the additional challenge. Recounting the experience, McIlroy said: "After scoring, Harry and I were walking to the golf cart to bring us back to the 18th tee. "He said to me, 'Well, pal, we would have taken this on Monday morning.' I'm like, 'Yeah, absolutely we would have.' That was an easy reset. He basically said to me, 'Look, you would have given your right arm to be in a playoff at the start of the week.' So that sort of reframed it a little bit for me." In the aftermath of his victory, McIlroy was quick to acknowledge Diamond's role in his success. He added: "I've known Harry since I was seven years old. "I met him on the putting green at Holywood Golf Club. We've had so many good times together. He's been like a big brother to me the whole way through my life. "To be able to share this with him after all the close calls that we've had, all the c**p that he's had to take from people that don't know anything about the game, yeah, this one is just as much his as it is mine. "He's a massive part of what I do, and I couldn't think of anyone better to share it with than him."

Power Book IV: Force Season 3 – Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 19, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 19, 2025, 09:54 IST Man, Power Book IV: Force has fans buzzing! Tommy Egan's wild ride through Chicago's drug scene has kept us glued to our screens with its raw energy, crazy plot twists, and that classic Power vibe. After Season 2's jaw-dropping finale in November 2023, everyone's dying to know what's next. So, let's dive into the latest on Season 3's release date, cast changes, and what we can expect from Tommy's final chapter in the Windy City. Release Date Rumours for Power Book IV: Force Season 3 Starz gave the green light for Season 3 back in December 2023, but they're keeping the exact premiere date under wraps for now. Word is, filming started in February 2024 and wrapped up in July 2024. Joseph Sikora, our main man Tommy, hinted at a fall 2025 release, which lines up with the Power franchise's usual schedule. Think somewhere between August and November 2025—that's the sweet spot, especially since Power Book II: Ghost Season 4, Part 2 hits in September 2025, and Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4 is expected early next year. Starz dropped a teaser trailer on June 20, 2025, which has fans hyped and points to that fall window. Keep your eyes peeled on Starz's socials for the official date once post-production's done. Cast Updates: Who's Returning and Who's Out? Season 3 will be the final chapter for Power Book IV: Force , promising a dramatic conclusion to Tommy's Chicago saga. The core cast is expected to return, with some notable absences due to Season 2's deadly twists. Here's the rundown: Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan : The heart of the series, Tommy is back to solidify his grip on Chicago's drug trade while facing mounting threats. Isaac Keys as Diamond Sampson : A key ally and rival, Diamond's dynamic with Tommy will likely drive much of the season's tension. Kris D. Lofton as Jenard Sampson : Diamond's brother, whose conflicts with Tommy could escalate further. Shane Harper as Vic Flynn : Vic's role as a mole for Tommy and Diamond sets up intriguing possibilities. Anthony Fleming III as JP Gibbs : Tommy's brother, whose storyline may deepen in the final season. Lucien Cambric as D-Mac : D-Mac's loyalty was cemented with a bold move in Season 2, but his actions could bring new enemies. Adrienne Walker as Shanti 'Showstopper' Page : A strategic player in Tommy's circle. Manuel Eduardo Ramirez as Miguel Garcia : Miguel's growing power will challenge Tommy's ambitions. Carmela Zumbado as Mireya Garcia : Tommy's love interest, whose fate remains uncertain after her brother's violent reaction in Season 2. Miriam A. Hyman as Stacy Marks : The U.S. Attorney is hot on Tommy's trail, raising the stakes. Michael Rainey Jr. as Tariq St. Patrick: Expected to appear in a guest role, tying Force to the broader Power universe. Notably, several characters won't return after Season 2's bloodshed, including Tommy Flanagan as Walter Flynn, Cayen Martin as Leon, Guy Van Swearingen as Uncle Paulie, and Dominic DeVore as Brendan Doyle. The fate of Lili Simmons as Claudia Flynn is uncertain after her stabbing in the Season 2 finale, but her survival could spark major drama if she returns. What to Expect in Season 3 As the final season, Power Book IV: Force Season 3 is set to deliver an explosive end to Tommy Egan's Chicago journey. The Season 2 finale, 'Power Powder Respect,' left fans with plenty of questions. Tommy's coalition is fractured, with rival gangs and the Feds closing in. Here's what we can anticipate based on teasers and the show's trajectory: Tommy's Power Struggle: Tommy's quest to become Chicago's drug kingpin will intensify. He'll need to outmaneuver rivals like Miguel Garcia while poaching customers to solidify his empire. Expect strategic alliances and betrayals as he navigates this dangerous game. Personal Stakes: Tommy's relationship with Mireya is in jeopardy after her brother's interference. The teaser hints that Tommy has moved past his initial rage, but whether Mireya is alive or dead remains a key mystery. His personal sacrifices could be a central theme. Ties to the Power Universe: With Power Book II: Ghost wrapping up in 2024, Season 3 may include crossovers, especially with Tariq St. Patrick's guest appearance. There's also buzz about a potential new spinoff, Power: Legacy , which could feature Tommy and Tariq, suggesting Season 3 might set up future stories. High-Stakes Action: Expect the signature Power mix of intense action, turf wars, and shocking deaths. Showrunner Gary Lennon has promised that Season 3 will 'question everything we thought we knew of Tommy's world,' hinting at game-changing twists. Claudia's Fate: If Claudia survives her prison stabbing, her return could shake up the Chicago underworld, especially given her betrayal in Season 2.

CNN crew allegedly attacked in West Bank by Israeli settlers while reporting on death of US citizen
Israeli settlers attacked a CNN news crew over the weekend as it traveled to the Palestinian town of Sinjil in the West Bank to report on the death of a US citizen, according to the network's Jerusalem-based correspondent Jeremy Diamond. Diamond, a veteran journalist and former CNN White House correspondent, said he and his crew were targeted while on assignment investigating the death of 20-year-old Florida native Saif al-Din Kamil Abdul Karim Musalat. Musalat was visiting family in Sinjil when he was allegedly beaten by Israeli settlers. His relatives say settlers also blocked ambulances from reaching him as he lay dying from his injuries. Advertisement 4 CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond posted an image of a vehicle used by his crew after the alleged attack by Israeli settlers. @JDiamond1/X 'As we were covering this story, my team & I were attacked by Israeli settlers. The back window of our vehicle was smashed, but we managed to escape unharmed,' Diamond wrote Monday night in a post on X. He shared an image of the damaged vehicle, adding: 'This is just a sliver of the reality many Palestinians face in the West Bank amid rising settler violence.' Advertisement A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. The Post has sought comment from the Israeli government. The death of a US national in the West Bank prompted the Trump administration's top envoy in Israel to ask the government to investigate. 'I have asked @Israel to aggressively investigate the murder of Saif Mussallet, an American citizen who was visiting family in Sinjil when he was beaten to death,' US Ambassador Mike Huckabee wrote on X. 4 Diamond, a former White House correspondent for CNN, is based in Jerusalem. He was reporting on the death of a US national allegedly beaten to death by Israeli settlers. CNN Advertisement 'There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act. Saif was just 20 yrs old.' The attack on Diamond's team comes amid a documented rise in violence against journalists working in the West Bank. The Jerusalem-based Foreign Press Association (FPA), which represents 400 media professionals covering Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, issued a statement Tuesday condemning the incident. 'This is the second settler attack on foreign journalists in Sinjil this month,' the FPA said. Advertisement 'On July 4, a Deutsche Welle team was chased by settlers while filming. A window of DW's car was smashed with stones, and its bodywork dented. In each of these incidents, settlers struck in broad daylight. Yet so far, we are unaware of any arrests being made.' 4 A group of Israeli settlers is pictured above. According to Diamond, the settlers followed his crew and then ambushed them. CNN The association said the situation reflects a broader pattern of hostility and violence faced by journalists, particularly Palestinians, in the region. 'This is taking place at a time when our Palestinian colleagues routinely face threats, intimidation and violence at the hands of settlers and security forces, while the foreign press is routinely vilified by some Israeli public figures,' the FPA said. Before the CNN crew was attacked, the Brussels-based International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) also issued a statement on July 8 reporting a rise in violence against both Palestinian and international journalists by Israeli settlers and soldiers. One of the cases cited by the IFJ involved Palestinian journalist Issam al-Rimawi, who was attacked in the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah. Al-Rimawi was beaten so severely by settlers that he lost consciousness. In another incident in Jenin on May 28, Israeli soldiers fired warning shots near a car clearly marked 'press' that was carrying French journalist Amira Souilem of France 24 and Radio France Internationale, Palestinian journalist Mohammed Mansour and three other Palestinian journalists. On June 2, a group of international reporters attempting to visit Masafer Yatta — an area in the southern West Bank featured in the Oscar-winning documentary 'No Other Land' — was stopped by masked Israeli soldiers. Advertisement 4 The CNN crew was on assignment investigating the death of 20-year-old Florida native Saif al-Din Kamil Abdul Karim Musalat. AFP via Getty Images The journalists had been invited by the film's co-directors, Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra, who later documented the obstruction by the army. According to the FPA, the Israeli military has also prevented journalists from entering refugee camps in the northern West Bank, which the FPA says have seen tens of thousands of Palestinians expelled. 'These phenomena have led to a worrying and rapid shrinking of the space and freedom to report on Palestinian lives,' the FPA said in its statement. 'We call on Israeli authorities to uphold the country's stated commitment to freedom of the press by ensuring the safety of journalists and prosecuting, not protecting, their assailants.' Advertisement Access to Gaza remains severely restricted. International journalists are currently banned from entering the territory unless as part of a rare embed with the Israeli military. In early June, more than 200 press freedom organizations and global newsrooms issued an open letter demanding that foreign journalists be granted 'immediate, independent and unrestricted' access to the Gaza Strip.

Harry Diamond makes Rory McIlroy assessment ahead of The Open bid at Portrush
Harry Diamond has revealed that Rory McIlroy is sticking to what he knows for his bid for Open glory in Portrush. Diamond has been McIlroy's trusted man on the bag since 2017, having grown up with the Holywood superstar just outside Belfast. The caddy has taken his share of flak during the tougher times in McIlroy's career since then, with a number of golf pundits insisting Rory should ditch his lifelong friend. However they made history together at Augusta in April when McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam at The Masters and the green jacket winner made sure to praise his pal in the aftermath, stressing that the triumph was just as much Diamond's as it was his own. "He's in great form," Diamond told Sky Sports on the range at Portrush this morning. "Hitting it well, just got to get off to a good start tomorrow." McIlroy tees off just after 3pm on Thursday with the aim of putting himself into contention rather than playing his way out of it, which is what happened when The Open last came to the county Antrim venue. Asked if the 35-year-old had anything new in his armoury for this week, Diamond replied: "Nothing new. We've had the 2-iron in the bag for the past couple of events to get used to that - use the low bounce 60 degree as well most of the year, so pretty much the same set up." McIlroy went out at the crack of dawn on Monday and Tuesday to play 18 holes in relative peace and quiet, given his status as the home favourite, and was due to play the front nine this afternoon - with South African duo Louis Oosthuizen and Christian Bezuidenhout - after a spell on the range to finish his on-course preparations. Diamond said that they enjoyed walking the fairways on Tuesday with Darren Clarke. "Yeah he's good fun, he was flying," smiled the caddie. "We play a lot of practice rounds together but we don't get to see too much of Darren as he's obviously on the Champions Tour but it's great to see him."
