Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:54:44 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A trip to the Masters and a chance to play in two $20 million tournaments are among the incentives for PGA Tour players to play this fall if they don’t reach the FedEx Cup playoffs.The PGA Tour sent out a memo Monday that offered a few more details on the overhaul that starts in 2024, and Commissioner Jay Monahan is scheduled to be in San Antonio this week to answer any questions from players.What previously was announced is the top 70 in the FedEx Cup advance to the postseason. The top 50 who reached the BMW Championship — the second playoff event — are locked in for all eight designated events that offer a $20 million prize fund.The fall schedule, which hasn’t been announced, is open to everyone. The FedEx Cup points list that starts in January will continue into the fall, but only for those players who finish outside the top 50.Winners still get an invitation to the Masters, and it gets them to Kapalua for the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Montenegro’s president: EU’s neglect gave Russia a platform

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:54:44 GMT

PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Montenegro’s pro-Western president criticized the European Union for allegedly allowing Russia to spread its influence in the Western Balkans, saying Tuesday that the volatile region has become a “platform” for anti-EU policies due to the bloc’s “negligence.” President Milo Djukanovic spoke to the Associated Press as he prepares for a Sunday runoff election with a political newcomer who has the support of the Montenegrin government, which includes parties seeking closer relations with Serbia and Russia.“Russia has simply walked into an open space left by the European Union,” Djukanovic said of the EU’s position toward the Balkans. “The European Union in the past 10 years didn’t know what to do with the Western Balkans, but Russia did. It has developed its network in the Balkans.”Djukanovic, who has held Montenegro’s largely ceremonial presidency since 2018, won the most votes in the first round of the country’s presidential electi...

Review: ‘Life Worth Living’ explores life’s big questions

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:54:44 GMT

“Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most,” by Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun and Ryan McAnnally-Linz (The Open Field)In America, we excel at producing self-help books, videos and podcasts; it’s as if the entire nation is perpetually riven by angst about falling short of our full potential, or, if social media is a guide, failing to acquire enough stuff or becoming happy enough.Graduation speakers especially take off on life and career advice to the caps-and-gowns gathered before them, as if the grads weren’t already nervous enough about achieving… something.However, at Yale University, students might be spared at the least the usual graduation dose of life and work advice because they have had access to a remarkable undergraduate class offered by professors Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun and Ryan McAnnally-Linz that teaches students to look for the essence of who we are, our personal truth.In the course, and the book, the authors draw on a diverse cast: Jesus, Socrat...

Muslim leader for Scotland a sign of UK political diversity

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:54:44 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Humza Yousaf was confirmed as first minister of Scotland on Tuesday, becoming the first person of color to head the Scottish government, and the first Muslim national leader in any Western democracy.The milestone comes five months after the U.K. got its first Hindu leader in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Britain’s capital city is headed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the son of Pakistani immigrants. All three politicians reflect the accelerating diversification of politics in Britain, a country whose imperialist past has – uncertainly and sometimes painfully – forged a multi-ethnic present.“There’s an expectation now, or a familiarity with diversity in British politics, that we don’t see in other European countries,” said Sunder Katwala of British Future, a think-tank that studies identity and race.Lawmakers in the Edinburgh-based Scottish parliament voted on Tuesday to confirm 37-year-old Yousaf as first minister, a day after he was elected leader of the governing Scottish...
