The media mogul is now engaged to 67-year-old retired molecular biologist Elena Zhukova. Rupert Murdoch, 92, got engaged to his girlfriend, Elena Zhukova, a spokesman said on Thursday, which would mark his fifth trip down the aisle. The wedding will be held in California, at Murdoch’s vineyard and estate, Moraga, a spokesman said. The impending nuptials come just months after Murdoch stepped down as chairman of Fox and News Corp, ending a more than seven-decade career at the helm of a sprawling media empire. The New York Times, which first reported the news, said Zhukova, who is from Moscow, is 67. She is a retired molecular biologist whom Murdoch began dating in the summer, it added. They met through Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi Deng, according to a report in the Daily Mail. Murdoch’s most recent marriage to actress and model Jerry Hall ended in divorce in 2022 after six years. Hall previously was a longtime partner of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger. The media mogul was briefly enga

Stephan Jaeger will lean 6 KFT wins

What Stephan Jaeger will lean on as he tries to close out Farmers – and it’s not his 6 KFT wins




Stephan Jaeger has won six times on the Korn Ferry Tour.


But the 34-year-old Jaeger, who has twice earned his PGA Tour card through the Tour’s Triple-A equivalent, downplays the impact that those trophies will have as he looks to finally beat his big-league opponents across the finish line.


“It’s great to have some past success, but that doesn’t really get you anything,” said Jaeger, who leads the Farmers Insurance Open by a shot heading into Saturday’s final round at Torrey Pines.


“I’m going to feel it tomorrow, I’m going to be nervous.”


Jaeger would rather lean on advances he’s made in his game over the past six months, mainly the mental strides under the direction of sports psychologist Julie Elion, who has taken off in popularity on Tour ever since one of her pupils, Wyndham Clark, won the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.


With Elion’s help, Jaeger better structured how he sharpened his mind. A couple years ago, Jaeger began reading more, listening to podcasts and journaling. He also got into a habit of meditating.

“Every day,” Jaeger says of his meditation routine. “Ten, 15 minutes.”


For Jaeger, the impetus for adding to his routine wasn’t solely golf.


“Not everything I work on is because of the golf course, right?” Jaeger explains. “That’s kind of the stigma that like we golfers just work on mental stuff because we want to win tournaments. I wanted to be a better husband, I want to be a better father to my child, I wanted to kind of be a little more mellow. I used to get pretty angry and frustrated. Wanted to kind of start that trend in the right direction. That’s what kind of started it and it really helped with, you know, like golf as well.


“Now, there’s a million other things that can be done for the golf course, but it didn’t start because of that.”


Jaeger fired opening rounds of 68-64 before carding a 1-over 73 with just six pars on a tough Friday around Torrey Pines South. He still hung onto his one-shot lead, however, and at 11 under overall, Jaeger’s just ahead of fellow Europeans Nicolai Hojgaard and Matthieu Pavon. Belgium’s Thomas Detry is another shot behind in solo fourth.


In total, 17 players are within four shots of Jaeger’s lead. That includes Korn Ferry Tour/Q-School grads Trace Crowe (T-5), Jake Knapp (T-5), Joe Highsmith (T-5) and Parker Coody (T-10). Mav McNealy (T-10) needs just 16 points to satisfy his medical extension. Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg and Will Zalatoris, in just his third official start back from back surgery, are all T-10 as well.


Speaking of Schauffele, he was paired in the final round with Jaeger during one of his wins, at the 2016 Ellie Mae Classic on the KFT. Schauffele had opened in 62 that week, four shots shy of Jaeger’s first round 58.


“I got lapped,” Schauffele said. "... He just stayed blacked out.”


Jaeger finished at 30 under, nine clear of Schauffele and seven ahead of the field.


Saturday’s finish will surely be much closer.


“I’ve played Torrey Pines enough now that I know you don’t go out and shoot 4, 5 under every day you play the South Course,” Jaeger said. “I just knew that I was playing good enough, my game was good enough that if I just mentally stayed sharp and stayed, you know, on course of what I wanted to do, I had a good chance of having a chance on Sunday. That’s all I really want. You want to come down the back nine, you want to have a chance to win.


“So, I’ve done that. I’m really excited about tomorrow.”

Alabama's IVF ruling puts Republicans in a political bind

The recent Alabama Supreme Court decision found that embryos are children, causing Republican politicians to scramble to figure out where they stand on the matter. As Republicans struggle to coalesce around a message on abortion ahead of the 2024 elections, a recent Alabama Supreme Court decision finding that embryos created through in vitro fertilization are considered children has put them in a new bind. The issue has created complications for politicians who have pushed strict anti-abortion policies, said that they believe life begins at conception, or believe that an embryo or fetus deserves the full rights of a person. The Alabama Supreme Court ruling showed the far-reaching consequences those sorts of policies could have for families, and the political difficulties Republicans still face in coming up with a way to talk about the issue to voters. The ruling has many doctors and families worried that IVF will become less available, because people could theoretically be sued for des

JetBlue and Spirit Airlines terminate $3.8 billion merger

The news comes weeks after the two airlines lost a federal antitrust lawsuit that challenged the deal. JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines on Monday said they were terminating their merger agreement weeks after losing a federal antitrust lawsuit that challenged the deal. A federal judge blocked the attempted merger in January after the Justice Department sued to bar the deal last year alleging the acquisition would stifle competition in the airline industry and eliminate Spirit as a discount alternative for price-conscious travelers. JetBlue and Spirit appealed the judge’s decision a couple of days later, but JetBlue noted the appeal was required under the terms of the merger agreement. Spirit shares tumbled 17% in premarket trading, while shares of JetBlue were up roughly 4%. “It was a bold and courageous plan intended to shake up the industry status quo, and we were right to compete with Frontier and go for an opportunity that would have supercharged our growth and provided more oppo

The decision comes shortly after Harbaugh won the College Football Playoff National Championship with the University of Michigan. Jim Harbaugh is headed back to the NFL, this time as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” the Chargers posted to X on Wednesday. The announcement comes on the heels of an ultra-successful season in which Harbaugh led the University of Michigan to its first national championship since 1997 and after a nine-year stint as the Wolverines’ head coach. “Jim Harbaugh is football personified, and I can think of no one better to lead the Chargers forward,” Chargers owner and chairman Dean Spanos said in a statement. “The son of a coach, brother of a coach and father of a coach who himself was coached by names like (Glenn Edward “Bo”) Schembechler and (Mike) Ditka, for the past two decades Jim has led hundreds of men to success everywhere he’s been — as their coach," the statement read. "And today, Jim Harbaugh retu
