Grass League

Las Vegas is the latest market to bet big on the potential for par-3 primetime golf.

The Grass League – an up-and-coming high stakes competition that blends professional and amateur golfers in a team-centered format — has awarded its next expansion franchise to Las Vegas. The franchise was acquired for $1 million by The Sports Group Endeavors, as golf becomes the latest sport to call Las Vegas home. In the past decade, Las Vegas has added the Raiders (NFL), Golden Knights (NHL), Aces (WNBA), and the city will soon bring in the Athletics (MLB).

The expansion comes at a pivotal time for the Grass League, which is set to cap its season with the GL Championship Dec. 5-6 at its flagship host site: Grass Clippings Rolling Hills in Tempe, Arizona. The league said it is exploring options for a dedicated home course in the Las Vegas market.

“Las Vegas is becoming one of the most exciting sports cities in the world, and we believe the Action can grow into a franchise that reflects the energy, competition, and creativity that define this market,” said SG Ellison, who is part of the ownership group and has built one of the largest Taco Bell franchise networks in the country (including a significant presence in Las Vegas). “We look forward to building a team that the community can rally behind and that showcases the future of the sport.”

Joining Ellison in the Action’s ownership group are AQ Shipley, a 12-year NFL veteran who’s now a radio analyst for the Arizona Cardinals; Brandon Stein, who has led real estate development in the Las Vegas region for more than two decades; and former TaylorMade, adidas and Taco Bell CEO Mark King.

Grass League competition under the lights

Grass League

Many of the owners of the 10 current Grass League franchises reflect the league’s effort to straddle competition and culture, with a mix of influential leaders across sports, entertainment, and business. Other notable owners and ownership groups in the league include Good Good Golf, Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts, former PGA Tour professional and Travis Mathew co-founder John Mallinger, and current PGA Tour golfer Wyndham Clark.

“We are excited to continue introducing key sports markets into the Grass League—markets that represent cutting-edge ownership, culture, content, and energy,” said Grass League Co-Founder and CEO Jake Hoselton. “Las Vegas is exactly that kind of market. It resonates with a global audience and is essential to our expansion now and into the future.

Future Venue?

With events streamed on Peacock, Golf Channel and YouTube, the Grass League continues to grow its primetime golf experience that blends high-stakes, pressure-packed golf with creator style storytelling. But new venues are also a part of the expansion plans and, with Las Vegas, it’s a process that could reshape short-course golf in Southern Nevada.

One intriguing possibility is the former Las Vegas Golf Center, just minutes from the Strip, which closed at the end of 2024. It had a lighted, 9-hole par-3 course with appealing proximity to the casino resorts and the airport.

Another possibility might be the Cloud 9 course at Angel Park, which has nine of its 12 par-3 holes fully lit for nighttime play and already provides accessible, fast-paced golf built for energetic evening crowds. No determinations on venue have been made at this point.

In mid-2025, the Grass League closed a $2.75 million round of funding to help accelerate its mission to establish par 3 golf as a standalone sport. At the time, the league also started taking applications for a new franchise.

The Grass League said it can support up to 24 franchises and anticipates adding roughly one new franchise a year going forward, with potential U.S. markets including Boston, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Austin, Houston, and Miami. South Korea, Tokyo and Mexico City are among those identified as expansion spots internationally.

The league’s current lineup of franchises includes 10 franchises in seven states:

  • Dallas Horsemen
  • Hollywood Hitters
  • Los Angeles Roses
  • Michigan Auto Aces
  • Minnesota Muskies
  • New York Blue Birds
  • Phoenix United
  • San Diego Munis
  • Scottsdale Strikers
  • Tampa Bay Swamp Dawgs

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
