A man has been charged with murder after the body of a 22-year-old female golf star ranked among the top players in the US was found on a course in Iowa.

ATLANTA—Previous reports suggested major changes were in the FedEx Cup’s future. On Tuesday, the PGA Tour made them official.

Coming off yet another surgery and yet another layoff, Woods was a vice captain for the team, a fancy name for “guy who grabs sandwiches.” He looked older, puffier, wearier by the day. Asked if there was a possibility that his days of competitive golf were behind him, Woods gave an answer remarkable in its honesty: “Yeah, definitely.

SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Steve DiMeglio previews the final leg of the FedExCup playoffs, the Tour Championship. ATLANTA — Overall, the seismic changes to the FedExCup get a thumbs up. The grand prize for the champion jumps to $15 million from $10 million starting next season, which will make some palms sweat. The playoffs, which will be in its 13th season next year, are reduced from four events to three for the first time, putting a greater emphasis on each tournament. And coinciding with the considerable changes to the schedule, the postseason will bring an end to the season before Labor Day, thus escaping the behemoth shadows of the NFL, MLB and college football.
