ELEPHANT BUTTE, September 10, 2026

Golf fans worldwide can watch the 2026 New Mexico Open at Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort live Sept. 14-16 as one of the strongest fields in the championship’s 72-year history competes for a record $137,000 purse.

NOTAH BEGAY III: Four-time PGA TOUR winner and NBC Sports and Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay III will host live coverage of the 2026 New Mexico Open at Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort Sept. 14-16. The Albuquerque native and 2026 PGA TOUR Payne Stewart Award recipient will also compete in the championship.

The tournament will stream free on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram and on Connected TV through Nexstar-owned KRQE in Albuquerque and KTSM in El Paso.

Four-time PGA TOUR winner and NBC Sports and Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay III will join veteran sports broadcaster Ryan Burr and Duff Foreman, the autonomous, conversational AI golf commentator, for three days of live coverage from Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort.

Begay has covered PGA TOUR events and major championships for NBC Sports and Golf Channel. The Albuquerque native won four PGA TOUR events and received the PGA TOUR’s Payne Stewart Award in August. He will also compete in this year’s New Mexico Open, giving him firsthand knowledge of the course, field and decisions players face under tournament conditions. That experience will carry directly into the broadcast as Begay analyzes how players approach Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort under tournament conditions.

Burr brings decades of national sports broadcasting experience to the coverage, with a career that includes NBC Sports, Golf Channel, ESPN and FOX Sports. His experience gives the broadcast a host who can move between tournament action, player analysis and conversation with Begay and Foreman.

Foreman is expected to provide golf strategy, player swing analysis, course-management insights and real-time commentary, drawing on information ranging from course conditions and player tendencies to historical performance and the Rules of Golf. His segments will be integrated into the live coverage as Begay and Burr follow tournament play.

“Duff Foreman’s short segments will be sprinkled into the New Mexico Open broadcast as a data-driven entertainment feature of the show,” Begay said. “There is no intention of Duff replacing the authentic talents of our hosts or analysts, but simply to provide a quantitative perspective on key parts of the game related to swing analysis, hole descriptions and player performance. These segments are meant to be informative and entertaining.”

HOW TO WATCH

Users can watch live: Visit https://www.turtlebackmountaingolfandresort.com/ for direct links to the free New Mexico Open coverage on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Coverage will run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mountain time Sept. 14 and 15, with final-round coverage from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mountain time Sept. 16. Viewers can also watch on Connected TV through the digital streaming platforms of Nexstar-owned television stations KRQE in Albuquerque and KTSM in El Paso.

After the championship, coverage is planned to remain available on Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort’s website and social channels and Duff Foreman’s website and social channels, (@DuffForeman).

A FIELD WORTH WATCHING

The 54-hole championship has 140 confirmed players competing for a record $137,000 professional purse, with $30,000 going to the winner. The purse increased from $100,000 in 2025, while the first-place prize rose 50% from last year’s $20,000.

Three players in the field have combined for 10 PGA TOUR victories. Begay is joined by four-time PGA TOUR winner Sean O’Hair and two-time winner Matt Every, who won consecutive Arnold Palmer Invitationals at Bay Hill in 2014 and 2015.

Defending champion Aidan Thomas returns after winning the 2025 New Mexico Open in his first tournament as a professional. The former New Mexico State golfer has since earned conditional PGA TOUR Americas status.

The field also includes Travis Vick, low amateur at the 2022 U.S. Open and a member of the University of Texas’ 2022 NCAA championship team; Jin Jeong, winner of The Amateur Championship and low amateur at the 2010 Open Championship at St Andrews; Asian Tour winner Trevor Simsby; PGA TOUR veteran Shawn Stefani; and four-time long drive champion and former world No. 1 Maurice Allen.

“This is the 72nd playing of the New Mexico Open, and when you look back at its history, there are major champions who have raised this trophy,” said Cory Armstrong, executive director of Sun Country Golf House, which administers the championship. “To have what may be the strongest field we’ve ever had competing for the largest purse in tournament history says a lot about where the New Mexico Open is today.”

The 2026 New Mexico Open at Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort, presented by New Mexico True, will be played Sept. 14-16 in Elephant Butte. Spectator admission is free.

New York, NY

As the world pauses to remember the tragedy of September 11th and honors the courageous, unwavering service of our Veterans in the years that followed, AngelAi®, the revolutionary artificial intelligence platform dedicated to transforming the financial and mortgage industries, has announced the launch of a hard-hitting national advertising campaign on Newsmax. The campaign is designed to shine a spotlight on the systemic failures within the traditional lending system that disproportionately harm U.S. Veterans and working families. By bringing these stark realities to the forefront of national media, AngelAi aims to drive urgent awareness and present a tangible, technology-driven solution to restore fair access to credit.

The centerpiece of the campaign is a compelling new television spot broadcasting across the Newsmax network, which can be viewed in its entirety here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKb6zK9sNjI

Pavan Agarwal – CEO & Founder AngelAi

The advertisement boldly confronts the unsettling truth about the modern financial ecosystem that the very individuals who have sacrificed the most for the nation are frequently the ones being left behind by outdated, biased, and irresponsible lending practices.

Pavan Agarwal, CEO of Sun West Mortgage Company, Inc. NMLS 3277 and the visionary architect behind AngelAi, has been a relentless advocate for leveraging technology to enforce fair lending. Speaking on the launch of the Newsmax campaign, Agarwal stated:

“Our Veterans are being turned away by a lending system that should be fighting for them. Eight years of government data don’t lie – the disparities in credit denials are real, they are massive, and AngelAi is doing something about it.”

The Human Cost of Systemic Lending Failures

For decades, the traditional lending system has been plagued by deep-rooted inefficiencies and unseen biases that quietly erode the financial foundations of everyday Americans. When systemic failure in lending goes unchecked, families are forced to pay the highest price. Fair access to credit disappears, homeowner equity is stripped away, and financial instability spreads rapidly through the community.

Veterans and working families, those who have sacrificed the most, served their country with honor, and worked the hardest to build a life, are far too often the ones left standing on the wrong side of the approval line. A denial of credit is not just a declined application; it is the denial of the American Dream. It means a Veteran cannot purchase a home to stabilize their family. It means lost opportunities for generational wealth creation, and it leaves vulnerable populations at the mercy of predatory financial alternatives.

Deploying AI-Driven Oversight to Protect Veterans and Their Families

To combat this widespread financial disenfranchisement, AngelAi is pioneering a new era of accountability. The platform presents industry regulators, financial institutions, and consumer advocates with a unique and unprecedented opportunity to use AI-driven oversight to identify harmful lending patterns as they emerge.

Unlike traditional auditing methods, which often only discover discriminatory practices years after the damage has been done, AngelAi operates with real-time precision. It enables timely intervention to protect families before they lose their homes, savings, and financial security. By analyzing vast amounts of transactional data without the prejudice of human bias, AngelAi ensures that lending decisions are based purely on financial merit and regulatory guidelines, rather than demographic variables that have historically tainted the underwriting process.

A Commitment to Exceptionalism

The drive behind AngelAi is not merely technological advancement, but a deep-seated moral obligation to right the wrongs of the financial sector. The platform was engineered from the ground up to serve as an uncompromising equalizer in a historically unbalanced playing field.
Reflecting on the core mission of the platform, Pavan Agarwal added:

“Irresponsible lending practices are denying fair access, destroying homeowner equity, and disproportionately harming Veterans and working families across the country. I built AngelAi with unwavering faith and commitment to dismantle these disparities and achieve exceptionalism across all American communities.”

This commitment to exceptionalism is practically applied through comprehensive support systems for Veterans navigating the housing market. In conjunction with the Newsmax campaign, AngelAi is actively directing Veterans to specialized resources that honor their service with the financial backing they deserve. Through dedicated programs, such as the VA loans offered by Sun West Mortgage Company (details available at: www.swmc.com/loan-programs/va), Veterans are empowered to secure homeownership with competitive rates, zero down payment options, and the peace of mind that their application is being processed by a 100% unbiased AI system that fights for their approval.

Looking Forward

The Newsmax ad campaign marks a significant milestone in AngelAi’s ongoing crusade for financial equality. As the spots air into millions of homes across the United States, the message is clear: the days of unchecked systemic bias in lending are numbered. Through AI-driven oversight, unwavering advocacy, and a profound respect for the Veteran community, AngelAi is ensuring that the American Dream remains accessible to all who have earned it.
