Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

About Dinamo Elektrostal

Moscow’s Dinamo Elektrostal are gearing up for their fifth EHL season having frequently picked off impressive wins but have yet to top their particular group in their previous attempts.

They did get the best of arch rivals Dinamo Ak-Bars in both the Russian Cup and the Prometheus International tournament to show they are knocking on the door.

There has been a reasonable level of turnover from 2020 with Anton Noshin, Evgenii Mokrousov, Aleksei Godenkov and Ivan Zuikov joining the newly formed TsOP Moskomsport outfit. Danill Karagodin, Mikhail Nekludov and Ilya Larikov have all retired.

Their replacements are mostly youngsters with Dmitry Zheleznyakov, Aleksei Samylkin, Petr Agapov, Ilia Bartenev, Andrei Gribanov and Oleg Kulakov joining their line-up.

Pga tour lays out how the player equity program will work.

• Rex Hoggard ,
• Rex Hoggard

In February, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan introduced the rough outline of the Player Equity Program, a vesting plan for the circuit’s new for-profit arm that will carve up a hefty portion of the initial $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group. On Wednesday, players were given a more detailed version of the program, PGA Tour chief competitions officer Tyler Dennis confirmed on “Golf Central.”

The initial player equity grants will be approximately $930 million distributed to 193 players via four categories, starting with the game’s stars. Monahan informed players on Wednesday via a letter of their individual grants.

“There’s no other sports league in the world that has this significant number of their athletes as owners of their own sports organization,” Dennis said.

“We want to grow the PGA Tour in many different ways and having the alignment of players as player-owners with the organization is going to allow us to drive that quickly forward.”

The first group includes 36 players receiving $750 million in equity based on the last five years of play. “Career Points” will be awarded based on how many years a player has been a Tour member, how many times they earned a spot in the Tour Championship and how many times they have won, with extra points awarded for high-profile victories like the majors, The Players Championship and the FedExCup.

Group 2’s share of the initial equity will be much smaller ($75 million) and will be granted to 64 players. The group is considered “steady performers and up-and-comers” and will be based on FedExCup points earned over the last three years.

Equity to Group 3 will be $30 million going to 57 players based on career earnings and how many times a player finished inside the top 125 in FedExCup points.

The final group will include “past legends,” like Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, with $75 million going to 36 players based on the “Career Points” formula. Those grants will only be awarded to “past legends” that are living.

Perhaps most important to players will be the program’s eight-year vesting period. The grants will be worth 50% of their value after four years, 75% after six and 100% after eight years, when a player will be able to sell their equity in PGA Tour Enterprises, the for-profit arm the Tour created for the program. At each vesting benchmark players will be responsible to pay taxes on the grants.

The program has been created to encourage loyalty to the Tour in the face of ongoing challenges from LIV Golf, and the requirements of maintaining membership (which includes a minimum of 15 starts each year) would mean players who join LIV Golf would not be eligible for the program or would give up any unvested equity if they were to join the rival circuit.

“We want the players to be fully aligned with their organization,” Dennis said. “It’s something no other sport has done before and we’re seeing an incredible amount of excitement about that.”

SSG valued the PGA Tour at $12.3 billion when the group, which is led by Fenway Sports, became a minority investor and the assumption is that valuation will continue to increase like most professional sports franchises in the United States.

The remainder of the initial $1.5 billion investment (roughly $600 million) will be awarded in recurring player grants of $100 million each year, beginning in 2025 through 2030. These grants will be awarded based on performance and Player Impact Program results with an eye toward young talent, like Ludvig Åberg or Nick Dunlap.

Player Equity Program helps further align interest of fans, PGA TOUR players

Change Text Size

The recent roll-out of the PGA TOUR’s Player Equity Program (PEP) is another example of the TOUR strengthening its ability to lead professional golf forward. By offering players equity stakes in PGA TOUR Enterprises, the PEP aligns the interests of players and the PGA TOUR around a common goal: to bring the world’s best golfers together on iconic courses to deliver memorable competitions in a way that maximizes fan interest and enjoyment.

Tyler Dennis, the PGA TOUR’s Chief Competitions Officer, called the roll-out of the PEP “a historic moment for the PGA TOUR.”

“This is a first in professional sports. There’s no other sports league in the world that has this significant number of their athletes as owners of their own sports organization,” Dennis said. “We’re really excited about it because ultimately we want to do what is right for the fan.”

The PEP is an important element of PGA TOUR Enterprises, the newly-created for-profit entity that houses the PGA TOUR’s commercial assets, including its sponsorship and media agreements. In creating a for-profit legal entity for the first time, PGA TOUR Enterprises provides a structure through which the PGA TOUR can reinvest substantial capital directly into the game, including PEP. PGA TOUR Enterprises recently received a $1.5 billion investment from the Strategic Sports Group (SSG), a consortium of U.S.-based sports owners who bring decades of experience and expertise across sports.

PGA TOUR players’ eligibility to participate in PEP is determined based on a number of factors, including their on-course performance and historical contributions to the game of golf. In order to maintain eligibility, players must participate in a specified number of annual PGA TOUR sanctioned events and/or provide other services to the PGA TOUR. Future equity grants for PGA TOUR Enterprises will be determined on an ongoing basis based on a similar calculation of on-course performance and off-the-course impact on fan engagement.

“Owners are motivated to think beyond their personal performance week-to-week and year-to-year,” said Jason Gore, the TOUR’s Executive Vice President Chief Player Officer. “They have a broader perspective of how their actions can impact the long-term health and performance of the TOUR in a positive way. One that meets the needs of our fans at every turn. It’s no longer as much ‘What’s in it for me?’ as ‘What’s good for fans and good for the PGA TOUR?'”

It offers a true win-win for all who love the game.

Paul and Ko among round one leaders in Japan

Yannik Paul and Jeong weon Ko joined a trio of local favourites at the summit after a fog-affected round one of the ISPS HANDA - CHAMPIONSHIP in Japan concluded on Friday.

Nearly three hours was lost to fog on Thursday morning at Taiheiyo Club Gotemba Course but when play got under way, German Paul posted a 65 to sit at five under alongside Japan's Tomoyo Ikemura, Taisei Shimizu and Taiki Yoshida.

Ko of France then birdied the last to make it a five-way tie for the lead when he returned to complete his round on Friday morning.

Home favourites Yuki Inamori, Masahiro Kawamura, Ryosuke Kinoshita, Taigo Nagano and Keita Nakajima were then at four under alongside China's Li Haotong, South African Casey Jarvis, Swede Sebastian Söderberg, Scot Connor Syme, Alejandro del Rey of Spain and English pair Sam Bairstow and Matthew Jordan.

The Asian Swing returns to the DP World Tour this week at an event co-sanctioned by the Japan Golf Tour Organisation as we tee it up in the Land of the Rising Sun for the second consecutive season.

Paul - a winner at the 2022 Mallorca Golf Open - already has three top tens in 2024 and his 65 was his lowest round since his first of the season at the Dubai Invitational.

Starting on the tenth, he birdied the 11th, 14th, 15th and 18th to turn in 31 and a 45-footer on the second handed him the solo lead.

Another birdie on the next got him to six under and while he made two bogeys to a single birdie on the way in, he was pleased with his day's work.

"I putted really nicely," he said. "My putting coach Mike came to Arizona two weeks ago and we changed quite a few things because that was the first time I saw him off site so it was a better time to change some stuff and it worked really nicely.

"I was hitting it OK, nothing special, and I capitalised on a lot of my chances."

Ikemura has two wins on this week's co-sanctioning tour and he made four birdies in five holes from the second, adding another three on the back nine but also making two bogeys.

"I just tried not to make a bogey but I made a few bogeys in the morning," he said. "In that situation, I managed to make birdies, which made my game good overall.

"My ball-striking was great and my putting distance control was pretty good."

Shimizu was bogey-free in his round, picking up shots on the third, eighth, 11th, 12th and 16th.

"Today, my short-game and putting went well," he said. "I didn’t overthink overall and just kept playing my game.

"So far this season, my ball-striking has been good, so I need to keep what I have been doing. By doing so, I will be able to be in contention."

Yoshida made four birdies in a row from the third and joined the lead with another at the 14th before recovering from a bogey on the 17th with a birdie on the last.

"I’m happy to play under par today," he said. "There are still three more days so I don’t want to think about the win. I just want to finish well."

Starting from the 10th, Ko recorded four birdies in his bogey-free back nine to join the leaders when he returned to complete his round on Friday, following a top five finish on his last start at the Hero Indian Open.

Nakajima, Kinoshita, Inamori, Syme and Jordan were all bogey-free in their 66s, while Söderberg dropped a single shot and Jarvis had two blemishes.

Li made an eagle at the par-four tenth to go with four birdies and two bogeys, while Bairstow and Kawamura recorded eagles of their own at the 18th.

Ren Yonezawa made the tenth hole-in-one of the season as he holed a six iron from 188 yards on the par-three 13th.
