Former tennis World No.1 Ash Barty has confirmed her next exciting career move

Aussie superstar Ash Barty will play in the inaugural icons series golf tournament in New Jersey, United States, in June.

The series is an innovative tournament that brings global sporting icons together for a competitive team match.

Barty will join ‘The Rest Of The World’ team alongside other sporting legends like Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and England striker Harry Kane.

Golf legend Ernie Els will captain the Rest of the World team with the tournament to be broadcast on the major United States network, NBC.

They will take on ‘Team USA’ led by Fred Couples, which is filled with other sporting heroes from around the world.

“I’m excited to be part of the Icons Series and I hope through my participation in the series that we can encourage more women and girls to participate in golf around the world”

The 25-year-old shocked the world when she retired from Tennis at the top of her career.

It’s no surprise though that Barty is showing her interest in other sports, with many hoping she’ll make her way into professional cricket or football.

However, for now, her eyes are set on the golfing green. Barty’s latest announcement will no doubt do her fiance Garry Kissick proud, who is currently hoping to crack it on the pro tour.

Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.

Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.

The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.
