Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines details her plan to testify at the Georgia Capitol with other NCAA athletes and reacts to comments made by transgender golfer Hailey Davidson. Multiple women's golfers came forward to praise and celebrate the LPGA's rule change on Wednesday that bars post-pubescent males from competing against females in pro competition. The organization said in a news release that male players who have gone through male puberty are barred from competing in the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour , Ladies European Tour and all other elite LPGA competitions. The new rule will go into effect for the 2025 season. "Players assigned male at birth and who have gone through male puberty are not eligible to compete in the aforementioned events," the organization said. "The policies governing the LPGA’s recreational programs and non-elite events utilize different criteria to provide opportunities for participation in the broader LPGA community."

(AP Photo/Steve Nesius) The International Women's Forum (IWF) released a press release in which several women golfers spoke in favor of the ruling later on Wednesday. These golfers include Lauren Miller, Hannah Arnold, Dana Fall, and Amy Olson. Miller said that she and female colleagues in pro golf have said "no more" to the issues of competing against biological males with the statement. "This announcement from the LPGA and USGA gives me hope for the future of women’s golf," Miller said. "The movement of female professional golfers was essential and has been heard — we’ve stood up and said, ‘No more’. By acknowledging the distinctions between men and women, golf leadership is uniting with us in their desire to champion women and girls by restoring a space that prioritizes fair competition. Today, women have won." Olson, meanwhile, insisted that the biological differences between men and women should be acknowledged in sports. "This is a positive step forward, recognizing that an individual’s chromosomes affect their physical development in ways that are irreversible," Olson said.

(Raj Mehta/Getty Images) Fall said that Wednesday's announcement indicates that "women do matter" in sports. "Today’s policy announcement is a huge win for women and girls in sports. The LPGA and USGA, the premiere bodies which dictate the rules of women’s golf, are standing up for fairness and the integrity of our sport. Today, the message sent to women is that we do matter, and they are working to return equal opportunity and protect fair sport for female athletes," Fall said. Still, the announcement was not meant with unanimous praise. Liberals and trans rights activists have criticized the new rule. Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson spoke out against the new rule, as it will likely prevent Davidson from competing in the LPGA moving forward. "Can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Banned from the Epson and LPGA," Davidson wrote in an Instagram Stories post. "All the silence and people wanting to stay ‘neutral’ thanks for absolutely nothing. This happened because of all your silence. "And somehow people are surprised the suicide rate for transgender people is around 50%. Situations just like this are part of the reason."

(Riley Gaines/X) A female golfer who competed against Davidson, Olivia Schmidt, made a plea to the LPGA to ban trans athletes like Davidson during an appearance at the Independent Women's Forum in November. "The bottom line is we can fight this all we want, but the true change comes from the LPGA. They are the only ones with the power to stop it. It’s up to them to protect us," she said. "I want my kids one day to chase their dreams and not have these distractions in their way. I’m just praying that [the policy] gets changed, and I’m praying that we can find a way to kind of find some common ground in that and hopefully for the next generation of golfers." Now, the LPGA has fulfilled that wish for all of its female competitors and fans. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X , and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter .

Anderson to Starc: Five up for grabs in IPL player auctionJM Financial has a buy call on Reliance Industries with a target price of Rs 1,660. The current market price of Reliance Industries is Rs 1317.6. Reliance, incorporated in 1973, is a Large Cap company with a market cap of Rs 1790738.91 crore, operating in a Diversified sector. Reliance Industries' key products/revenue segments include Petrochemicals, Other Services, Oil & Gas, Others and Income from Retailing for the year ending 31-Mar-2024. Financials For the quarter ended 30-09-2024, the company has reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 2,36,411 crore, up .27% from last quarter's Total Income of Rs 2,35,767 crore and up .29% from last year's same quarter Total Income of Rs 2,35,727 crore. The company has reported net profit after tax of Rs 19101.00 crore in the latest quarter. Investment Rationale The recent weakness in Reliance Industry's share price (down ~15% in the last 2 months) seems primarily due to: a) 5-6% downgrade in consensus FY25 EBITDA estimate driven by weak O2C and Retail business earnings in 1HFY25; and b) limited clarity on Jio's listing timeline. Further, this was aided by accelerated stake sale by FIIs (down 112bps in Oct'24 and down 169bps during Jul-Oct'24 to 22.5% at end-Oct'24). Hence, at CMP, RIL is trading near our bear-case valuation of INR 1,230. JM Financial expects RIL's 3QFY25E EBITDA to be robust at Rs 434 billion (up 11% QoQ and 6.7% YoY) led by recovery in GRM, lagged impact of tariff hike and some recovery in Retail business growth driven by the festive season.

Be that as it may, we believe RIL could still drive a robust 14-15% EPS CAGR over the next 3-5 years with Jio?s ARPU expected to rise at 11% CAGR over FY24-28 with ARPU being on a structural uptrend given the industry structure, future investment needs, and the need to avoid a duopoly market. Clarity on the potential timeline and valuation for Jio?s listing could be a possible near to medium term trigger. Promoter/FII Holdings Promoters held 50.24 per cent stake in the company as of 30-Sep-2024, while FIIs owned 21.3 per cent, DIIs 17.52 per cent. (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel )ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos' usually stout defense has been rocked ever since losing second-year cornerback Riley Moss to an MCL injury against Las Vegas in Week 12. Without Moss there to capitalize on opponents shying away from star cornerback Patrick Surtain II, the Broncos (9-6) have had to largely abandon their preferred man coverage in favor of zone strategies and the results haven't been pretty. They allowed 32 points to the Cleveland Browns when former teammate Jerry Jeudy caught nine passes for a career-best 235 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown. Only Jonathan Taylor's fumble at the goal line as he was about to score a 41-yard touchdown and give Indianapolis a 20-3 lead saved the Broncos in Week 15 and allowed Denver to seize momentum and get the victory. They couldn't stop Justin Herbert , who led the Los Angeles Chargers back from a double-digit third-quarter deficit for a 34-27 win last week that prevented the Broncos from ending their eight-year playoff drought. It also put more pressure on the Broncos to win Saturday at Cincinnati, where the Bengals (7-8) cling to hopes of catching the Broncos and denying Denver a wild-card berth. Moss returned to practice last week and the Broncos will determine this week whether he’s ready to return to the field or if it’s better to keep him out until their season finale against Kansas City. But all signs point to Moss being on the field to help thwart Cincy's offense led by Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. “It's great to have him back,” Surtain said after practice Tuesday. “I mean, you talk about a guy who was playing lights-out before the injury, but to see him back out there with confidence, out there practicing, getting his mojo back, it brings a lot of confidence to the team, as well. So, it's good to see him back out there in action, for sure.” Moss has enjoyed a breakout season in Denver with 71 tackles, eight pass breakups and an interception in 12 starts. He played in 14 games as a rotation player his rookie season after recovering from core muscle surgery that relegated him to special teams and spot duty in 2023. “We were and have been super excited" about the third-round pick out of Iowa, coach Sean Payton said. "Obviously, the guy that plays opposite of Patrick is going to get a lot of business. All throughout training camp, he really rose to the occasion, battled, competed and throughout really a good portion of the season. Story continues below video “He’s a big reason why we were playing so well defensively,” Payton added. "The sooner the better when we can get him back in the lineup. Hopefully it can happen this weekend.” In Moss' dozen starts, the Broncos allowed 16.8 points per game. Without him, they've been allowing 26.3 points a game. Burrow and Chase pose a bigger challenge to the Broncos than Jeudy and Jameis Wiston did for Cleveland or Herbert and Ladd McConkey did for the Chargers. The medial collateral ligament is on the inside of the knee that connects the thigh bone to the shin bone. It’s one of four major ligaments that stabilize the knee and allow it to rotate. It typically takes a month to recover from an MCL sprain and the Broncos had their bye week earlier this month, meaning Moss might only have to miss three games. If the Broncos reach the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl 50 in Hall of Famer Peyton Manning's last start, they'll likely need to have a healthy Moss opposite Surtain to have any realistic hopes of avoiding a one-and-done appearance. The Broncos got a scare when Surtain injured an ankle against Indianapolis two weeks ago and limped off the field in the closing minutes. However, he was a full-go at practice last week and had no issues against the Chargers. NOTES: The Broncos waived veteran CB Levi Wallace, who had been inactive the past two weeks after giving up several big plays to Jeudy on Dec. 2. Denver also designated RB Tyler Badie to return from a back injury he sustained against the Jets in Week 4. Payton said he hopes to sign Wallace to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
