Here’s what’s happening this week in the Chattanooga area.

A bonus German in Paris

Add another Chattanooga-connected athlete to the list of Olympic medal hopefuls. In this space last week, we reminded viewers of three athletes with local ties who are going for gold at the Summer Games in Paris: weightlifter Olivia Reeves of Hixson; 3×3 basketball player Rhyne Howard of Cleveland, Tennessee; and gymnast Brody Malone of Summerville, Georgia. We failed to mention a golfer playing for his native Germany (although the online story was updated). Stephan Jaeger is a 35-year-old Baylor School and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate who plays on the PGA Tour. He has won six tournaments on the second-tier Korn Ferry Tour in the U.S. and claimed his first PGA Tour win at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open.
