In fact, it's more serious than a rift and the buckets of money involved featuring mind-boggling sums are making the whole situation very messy. At present, no one can be fully sure how it will all pan out. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, a strong defender of the PGA Tour, has called it a "sad" situation, referring to it as "the cloud that's hanging over golf." With the British Open at St Andrews only three weeks away, it seems an appropriate time to relate a refreshing golfing story from the past that is not about already rich … [Read more...] about A non-conquering hero!

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 WASHINGTON - The objects in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamen - or, as a new exhibition at the National Geographic Museum spells it, Tutankhamun - were meant to commemorate the Egyptian ruler's life and guide him to the next one. Since they were first unearthed almost exactly 100 years ago, such exquisite artifacts as the golden funerary mask of Tut, as he is more commonly known today, have attracted widespread interest and admiration.

The organizers of this almost entirely virtual-reality exhibition didn't have much choice but to take this approach, since the relics from Tut's tomb are no longer available … [Read more...] about Immersive King Tut exhibit looks beyond the gold mask
