DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The European Tour announced on Tuesday that it will group at least seven of its marquee events together as the Rolex Series and will be scrapping the Final Series format beginning with the 2017 season.The BMW PGA Championship, the Irish Open, the Scottish Open and the Italian Open will join the three Final Series events -- the Turkish Airlines Open, the Nedbank Golf Challenge and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship -- as part of the new schedule.The Race to Dubai, formerly known as the Order of Merit, will be retained. Each of the seven events will have a prize purse of at least $7 million.The cash-rich events are part of European Tour chief executive Keith Pelleys plans to have tournaments in Europe that can compete with the prize funds available on the PGA Tour. He believes they will prevent young European players from moving to the U.S., as well as attract PGA Tour stars to play in Europe.Pelley, speaking ahead of this weeks DP World Tour Championship, said that eight or nine events could end up as part of the Rolex Series next season and that its his goal to increase that number to 10 tournaments in 2018.He also said that the $7 million minimum is the threshold that we felt that was needed to produce something of a high quality for the series. Investments by the Tour in its television and digital productions and the pursuit of additional marketing and sponsorship opportunities are also part of the plan.Pelley said the Tour and Rolex will subsidize tournaments such as the Irish Open and Scottish Open to allow them to distribute at least $7 million to players.The Tour will also start the Access List, which will be a separate money list that will not include earnings from the Rolex Series, the Masters, the PGA Championship or the four World Golf Championships. The top three players on that list will be invited to play in Rolex Series events, and the top 10 finishers will be eligible for full European Tour membership for the following season.

Kevin McClelland Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Randy Gregg Jersey .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry. DETROIT -- Sam Bradford had spent much of the game throwing short, crisp passes.It didnt necessarily make for exciting football, but that low-risk approach enabled the Minnesota quarterback to avoid sacks and turnovers.Then his final throw was intercepted, setting up Detroits winning field goal.I think their corner just made a really good play. Id like to have it back, Bradford said.Bradford went 31 of 37 on Thursday, and that late interception was his only turnover, but the Vikings lost 16-13 .Their attempts to move the ball with quick, short passes didnt lead to many points, and Bradford threw for only 224 yards on all those completions.Minnesota receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was out, and nobody else emerged as much of a big-play threat.Weve probably got to try to find a way to create some explosive plays, Bradford said.Its hard when you are only picking up five, six, seven at a time. Theres things that we can do to try to figure out how we can create some more explosive plays.The interception in the final minute by Darius Slay was only the third of the season thrown by Bradford, who has completed 71 percent of his passes. But hes averaging only 6.9 yards per attempt.With the game tied at 13, the Vikings (6-5) took over at their 25 with 1:45 remaining. As he had all game, Bradford threw short, finding Kyle Rudolph for 5 yyards and Cordarrelle Patterson for 3.ddddddddddddAfter letting the clock run for a while, Minnesota appeared to have picked up a first down on another short throw, but an illegal formation penalty left the Vikings facing third-and-7. That was when Slay stepped up in coverage and intercepted Bradford, giving the Lions (7-4) the ball with 30 seconds left.On what looked like a safe pass for Bradford, Slay created a turnover with an aggressive move.Hes kind of got a knack for it, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. Hes one of those guys too thats a bit of a riverboat gambler. Hell take a chance when he sees its there. Hell go after it.Minnesotas inability to throw deep cost the Vikings earlier in the fourth quarter as well. They had the ball deep in Detroit territory, but a penalty pushed the ball back to the 25 on first down. Bradford completed three straight passes -- for 4, 5 and 6 yards -- and Minnesota settled for a field goal.On his teams next drive, Bradford completed a 2-yard pass on third-and-3, and the Vikings punted. The Lions drove for the tying field goal.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
