AT&T and Google have announced that all Android phones on the network will use Google’s Android Messages app for SMS and RCS services.

TPC Craig Ranch hops in this week to fill the void of hosting the AT&T Byron Nelson. They have a five-year contract for this event but as we saw with Trinity Forest, that could end sooner if it doesn’t go well. What do we know about Craig Ranch? It’s a par 72 that will play over 7,400 yards. The course has been soaked with rain in the lead-up to the event.

As part of the agreement, a joint venture with TPG will run DirecTV and AT&T’s other pay-TV operations,… Source link

The views at Pebble Beach are phenomenal but they don’t move the needle when it comes to attracting the world’s best golfers. As a result, we see a relatively weak field lining up for this week’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Of course, it’s not actually a pro-am this year, due to that pesky pandemic. While the field may be lacking the firepower compared to recent events, there are still DFS contests to be played on Yahoo, so let’s jump in and search for some value plays.
