LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — The PGA Tour is back on the mainland in the Palm Springs area, where the mandate is always to go low. “I feel like the easier courses on tour, you can’t really get behind, just because it’s so much harder to catch up,” top-ranked Scottie Scheffler said Wednesday. “You can make two, three, four, five birdies in a row out here, but when you’re making pars, you’re feeling like you’re falling behind. Whitney, who made his first PGA Tour cut at this event in 2018, is starting his first full year on tour. “I know the scores will be low, but you’ve still got to play really well,” Lee said of The American Express.

He missed it when it became a World Golf Championship for only Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup players. So what to make of this new PGA Tour model of signature events and $20 million purses with small fields and most of them not having cuts? "If all the players play in those and we get great fields playing for a lot of money, then it's great. And the PGA Tour has been about doing the best for everybody, for all the pros and members. “So I'm a little mixed on that.”That's what the PGA Tour is facing this year.

Jordan Spieth is a three-time major champion, a newly minted member of the PGA Tour’s board and just spent his weekend on the course with many of the world’s top players. But even he seemed to be totally in the dark about the potential bombshell gripping the world of golf. Is Jon Rahm about to bolt from the PGA Tour for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf?

Japan, a key U.S. ally, had sought the suspension of all non-emergency V-22 Osprey flights over its territory after one fell into the sea on Wednesday in western Japan. Japan's Coast Guard has said one person was found and confirmed dead, and the search for the remaining seven aboard continues. The Pentagon said on Thursday that it was still flying Ospreys for now, and that it was not aware of any official request for their grounding. "We are concerned that despite our repeated requests, and in the absence of sufficient explanation (from the U.S. military), the Osprey continues to fly," he told a news conference. The Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF), which also operates Ospreys, has said it would suspend flights of the transport aircraft.

Search operations widened Friday with additional U.S. military personnel joining the effort, while Japanese coast guard and military ships focused on an undersea search using sonar. Japanese officials say they asked the U.S. military to halt Osprey flights in Japan except for those involved in the search operations. A total of 44 Ospreys have been deployed at U.S. and Japanese military bases in Japan. Denny Tamaki called on Japan’s defense and foreign ministries to request the U.S. military to suspend all Osprey flights in Japan, including in search operations. “I have serious doubts about Osprey safety even for their search and rescue operations.”

Extensive damage at a Florida dome venue is potentially a big blow to the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-backed tech-infused golf league two months out from its launch. Photos surfaced earlier this week showing that the air-supported SoFi Center dome, located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, had collapsed due to a power outage. "We are still assessing the damage and determining the impact on our timelines," the league, TGL, told CNBC. The indoor golf league, which counts the PGA Tour as a partner, is slated to launch on Jan. 9, featuring about two dozen tour golfers. The TGL developments also come as the PGA Tour pursues a controversial business partnership with Saudi-funded rival LIV Golf.

The U.S. military had not previously bought local seafood in Japan, he said. Asked if he considered himself hawkish on China, Emanuel rejected the term and said he was a "realist".

☆ China's massive navy is only getting bigger, and the US is looking overseas for help keeping its warships in action

For years, the US Navy has struggled to complete repairs of its ships on time. To reduce workload at domestic shipyards and keep ships at sea, the US is looking for help overseas. That number has improved, but delays persist amid other challenges at Navy shipyards. Salvor was the first ship repaired in India following the signing of a Master Ship Repair Agreement with L&T Shipyard. "It's all hands on deck within the free world right now, and I think something like that would simultaneously enhance our ability to repair ships more quickly and also be a deterrent in the Pacific."

CNN —As Europe’s victory at the Ryder Cup was confirmed, one fan couldn’t help but make a splash – quite literally. Tommy Fleetwood ensured that Europe would triumph against the USA on a tense final day when he took the 16th hole of his singles match against Rickie Fowler. The excitement proved too much for some, including a spectator who was green-side for the all-important moment. The fan darted across the hole and made a beeline for the water hazard, removing – and then dropping – his cap before taking the plunge. Maddie Meyer/PGA of America/Getty ImagesThe celebrations followed Europe’s 16.5-11.5 victory in Rome, meaning the USA’s quest for an away Ryder Cup triumph stretches to 30 years.
