Koepka Rejoins PGA Tour Under One-Time Penalty With $5 Million Charity Donation

Brooks Koepka will resume his PGA Tour career via a one-time Returning Member Program that imposes a $5 million charitable donation and bars equity gains and FedEx Cup bonuses for five years, while requiring him to earn his way into signature events; the program is limited to players who have won majors or The Players from 2022–2025, meaning Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith could return, with decisions due in three weeks. He will be exempt through 2028 based on his 2023 PGA Championship victory and will compete in the Farmers Insurance Open, though he cannot receive sponsor exemptions for the $20m signature events.

Nate Bargatze's Emmy Hosting Night: A Flop and a Failed Joke

Nate Bargatze hosted the 2025 Emmys with a poorly received and controversial bit involving a donation counter and rushed speeches, which distracted from the celebration of winners and the event's overall joy. Despite his intentions to support charity, the segment was seen as awkward and unfunny, overshadowing heartfelt moments from winners like Hannah Einbinder, Cristin Milioti, and Noah Wyle. The ceremony was marred by uneven timing and unrestrained presenter speeches, but many winners still managed to shine and enjoy their moment.

"Russian Authorities Detain L.A. Woman for Treason Charges"

A Los Angeles woman, Ksenia Khavana, was arrested in Russia on suspicion of high treason after allegedly donating $51.80 to a Ukrainian charity in the United States. She was initially detained for 'petty hooliganism' before being charged with treason, which can carry a life sentence in Russia. Khavana's employer, Ciel Spa CEO Isabella Koretz, revealed that Khavana had gone to Russia to visit family and had worked at the spa for 8 years. The U.S. State Department has a "Do Not Travel" advisory for Americans heading to Russia, citing wrongful detention as a risk.
