📰 News we're reading
• Hope-Less in the Desert (foremagazine.com) — Golf fans in La Quinta can breathe easier knowing the American Express PGA Tour stop is confirmed to return next year, even as long-term scheduling changes loom. The article weighs the tournament’s TV gains, star power, and deep Coachella Valley charitable legacy against worries the PGA Tour might eventually sideline this historic desert event. 
• Could Indian Wells join the CV Link years after voters said no? (desertsun.com) — La Quinta is partnering with Indio, Coachella and Riverside County on the planned Arts and Music Line, a 9‑mile corridor that will connect neighborhoods, schools and the Empire Polo Club while linking into the CV Link. As Indian Wells reconsiders joining the CV Link after years of opposition, regional leaders are securing major grant funding and eyeing 2027 to start construction on La Quinta’s connected project.
