The PGA Tour season ends on Aug. 27. The Ryder Cup starts a month later. And then the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup will not have to play again until the start of 2024 unless they want to add to their trophy case or bank account.PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan doesn’t see many top players staying home.“I don’t think it’s realistic a player is going to the finish the Ryder Cup or the Presidents Cup and not play golf until January,” Monahan said last week at the Wells Fargo Championship.The idea of a real offseason sounds good on paper. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were among those who lobbied for a shorter regular season. Woods in 2005 was lobbying for a condensed schedule that would bring the best players together more often.The FedEx Cup arrived in 2007 and Woods was true to his word. He didn’t play for 10 weeks, returning at his Target World Challenge in December. He won, prompting Colin Montgomerie to say, “If he took a bloody year off, it would help...

MÉXICO – En el país azteca, el Día de la Madre se celebra el miércoles 10 de mayo, a diferencia de EEUU y otros países, que celebran a la más bella de la casa, el segundo domingo del mes, que este año cae el 14 de mayo. En México, la celebración comenzó en 1922, según la página web del gobierno mexicano.De acuerdo a un artículo publicado en la página del gobierno, se escogió mayo por ser el mes de la Virgen, y el 10 porque antes en México se pagaba el sueldo en las decenas y no en las quincenas como suele ocurrir. Según el gobierno de México, otras fuentes sitúan el primer día de la madre mexicano en Oaxaca en 1913.México fue el primer país latinoamericano en sumarse a esta conmemoración, y el 10 de mayo de 1949 se inauguró en la capital una escultura en honor a la madre.
