Tuscaloosa has reason to cheer this week as hometown golfer Dicky Pride claimed his second victory on the PGA Tour Champions, adding another highlight to what has already been a memorable stretch for the local sports community.
Pride, a Tuscaloosa native, earned the win on the PGA Tour Champions circuit — the tour for players 50 and older — marking his second triumph at that level. The achievement is a proud moment for a city that has long followed his career, and it serves as a reminder that Tuscaloosa continues to produce and celebrate world-class athletic talent.
Meanwhile, residents traveling along a key corridor in Tuscaloosa County can look forward to smoother roads ahead. The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has begun repaving a five-mile stretch of Highway 43 North in Tuscaloosa County. The resurfacing project, which got underway on June 30, will bring improved road conditions to drivers who use that route regularly. While some delays are expected during the work, the end result will be a noticeably better driving experience for the community.
Together, these two stories capture the spirit of a city on the move — celebrating its homegrown champions while investing in the everyday infrastructure that keeps Tuscaloosa connected and thriving.
