Wednesday, 05 August 2026

Sport shared the spotlight with politics and governance today. In California, security concerns overshadowed golf after authorities arrested a man with a loaded weapon and ammunition at Trump National Golf Club ahead of a Republican fundraiser tied to the president’s visit, with investigators later finding more weapons and “concerning statements” at his home. In football, FIFA president Gianni Infantino is under mounting pressure after Portugal legend Luis Figo called for his resignation, arguing the governing body has been damaged by the backlash over a shelved World Cup investment plan. Golf’s power struggle also took another turn as LIV Golf said it has secured a new lead investor after Saudi backing ended, while promising a future in which players become majority owners. And in South Korea, even a coffee promotion spilled into a wider cultural flashpoint, with police raiding Starbucks Korea over its controversial “Tank Day” campaign.
