Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, seeking to overturn the Chevron deference established in 1984. The Chevron deference gives federal agencies the power to interpret statutes, and critics argue it has led to regulatory instability and an excessive concentration of power in unelected bureaucrats. Kemp argues that overturning Chevron is essential to cut burdensome regulations and ensure that Georgia's policies reflect the will of its citizens rather than federal agency dictates. The case originated from a lawsuit filed by Loper Bright Enterprises in 2020 over monitoring regulations for Atlantic herring fishermen.
4.* Golfers
The golf season continues with various high-level events after the recent British Open. The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs are scheduled for August, followed by the Ryder Cup in September, and the LIV Golf Tour will conclude in October. Golf's popularity has grown in recent years, with more people taking up the sport during the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergence of the LIV Golf Tour, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, attracted top players and increased fan engagement. The recent merger between the PGA, LIV, and the European Tour has created a unified organization with a global reach. Golf's top players come from diverse countries, with more than half of PGA Tour cut-makers hailing from outside the United States, showcasing the sport's global appeal.
28 Georgia-born golfers have made at least one cut at a PGA Tour event in the last decade. Among all 50 states and Washington, DC, Georgia produces the 4th most pro golfers.
Travel and tourism in Georgia contributed over $60 billion to the state's economy in 2021, making it the second-largest industry after agriculture.

HFIM was ranked fourth in the U.S. among all private and public universities for hospitality and tourism management degrees. The program has experienced significant growth since its inception in 2019 and has formed partnerships with various departments within the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences to enhance its offerings.
