Choice Hotels International is asking shareholders of rival chain Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to sign off on a buyout worth nearly $8 billion after Wyndham broke off negotiations, the company said Tuesday. Choice's proposal allows Wyndham shareholders to choose either cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. Choice first approached Wyndham in April, offering $80.00 per share, with 40% of that cash and 60% Choice stock, but was rejected, Choice said. But, according to Choice, Wyndham voiced concerns about regulatory approval in September and also the value of Choice stock. Shares of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc. jumped more than 15% before the opening bell Tuesday, to $82.40.

CNN —Rory McIlroy has said that two heated rows with American caddies left him wanting to “make it hurt” for Team USA, as Europe channeled rage into results to regain the Ryder Cup on Sunday. After confronting LaCava on the green, hostilities reignited in the course’s car park as the 34-year-old got into an angry exchange with another Team USA caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay. McIlroy confronts LaCava, caddie for Cantlay (right). “I don’t think it just motivated me, it motivated the entire team … we wanted to go out there and make it hurt for them,” McIlroy told BBC Sport. “Everything will be fine,” McIlroy told reporters.

Hopefully, we can build a lot off this small amount of momentum we've got going," the world number five said. Europe need only four points from Sunday's 12 singles but Cantlay referenced the European comeback in 2012 at Medinah when they hit back from 10-6 down to snatch victory. "I saw it unfold when Patrick made that putt, Joe was waving his hat," he said. U.S. captain Johnson said he was aware of an incident but was told McIlroy and LaCava were "all good". "You see passion and emotion in the Ryder Cup and I don't think it's anything more than that," he said.

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Rory McIlroy lost his match at the Ryder Cup. That incident prompted another angry exchange involving McIlroy as he left the Marco Simone club. McIlroy was seen to be visibly furious outside the clubhouse as Jim “Bones” Mackay, the caddie for Justin Thomas, attempted to intervene. European captain Luke Donald said McIlroy “politely asked Joe to move aside.” McIlroy still had a putt for birdie to tie the match, which he wound up missing. McIlroy goes out in the fourth match, straight after Cantlay against Justin Rose.

Homa and Harman were playing again in Saturday’s fourballs against Tommy Fleetwood and Nicolai Hojgaard — meaning Homa will be the only American to play in all five sessions.

A thrilling fourballs session was going the way of the Americans as they led in three matches deep into the back nine. But Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm and veteran Justin Rose ensured Europe won it 2-1/2 to 1-1/2, with three matches that went all the way to the 18th. "That was my moment there on the 18th -- I've made us a lot of points but I haven't had many moments like that so that was immense," Rose, playing his sixth Ryder Cup, said. Hovland was majestic as he and Aberg, the first Ryder Cup player not to contest a major, proved too hot for Homa and Harman to handle in match two. Matt Fitzpatrick, playing with McIlroy, earned his first Ryder Cup point in stunning fashion with four birdies and an eagle in an early blitz that Morikawa and Schauffele never recovered from, losing 5&3.

CNN —American golfer Gary Woodland has undergone surgery to remove a tumor on his brain, an update posted to his social media accounts said. Discovered a few months prior, the Kansas-born 39-year-old said he had attempted to treat the symptoms with medication before the decision for surgery was taken. Woodland, whose last competitive appearance came at North Carolina’s Wyndham Championship in early August, will now undergo a period of rest. “Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as he gets started on the road to recovery.”Woodland celebrates his 2019 US Open victory at Pebble Beach, California. That marks his most recent win on the PGA Tour, though he has finished twice inside the top-10 this season and ranked 74th in the world after his tied-27th finish at the Wyndham Championship.

The Wall Street firm came up with its proprietary quarterly earnings quality (EQ) score, which it said is an objective way to identify potential accounting-related risk. Wolfe Research's analysis covered more than 2,000 companies and focused on the balance sheets and cash flow statements in the companies' second-quarter earnings reports. Here are some of the companies that rank the lowest on Wolfe's screen (0 is the lowest score, and 100 is the highest.) The firm said its low earnings quality basket, which includes companies with an EQ score less than 10, has underperformed the S & P 500 by 800 basis points year to date. Endeavor Group and The Trade Desk were two stocks with the lowest score in the communication services sector.

In 2009, Glover was crowned US Open champion and became the world’s 15th best-ranked golfer. It was time to call in help, and that support arrived in the shape of former Navy SEAL Jason Kuhn. Keyur Khamar/PGA TOUR/Getty ImagesHaving first met with Kuhn in May, Glover began to work with the ex-Navy SEAL shortly after. Glover has a perfect record at the Presidents Cup, triumphing in 2007 and 2009, with Johnson his teammate at both tournaments. The Presidents Cup is a biennial competition between Americans and an international team open to players outside the United States and Europe.
