Tiger Woods withdraws from 2025 Genesis Invitational due to mother’s death

Tiger Woods waits on the 5th tee during the first round of The PLAYERS Championship on The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 14^ 2019 in Ponte Vedra Beach^ Florida.

Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the 2025 Genesis Invitational tournament due to the death of his mother, Kultida Woods. The 15-time major winner announced his mother’s death last Tuesday at the age of 81. Woods was set to tee it up in his first non-major championship since last year’s Genesis Invitational.

Woods announced Monday his withdrawal from the event he hosts, which will take place at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego this year (instead of Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles due to damage caused by the recent wildfires in the Pacific Palisades area).

Woods wrote in a statement released on social media: “I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready. I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss. Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my Mom’s passing.”

Woods, 49, played just five tournaments last season before undergoing season-ending back surgery. He has since played at the PNC Championship with his son, Charlie Woods, in December; and also played two matches with his Jupiter Links GC team in the TGL (the virtual golf league he co-founded along with a group of investors that includes Rory McIlroy).

George Clinton at the MusiCares Person of the Year Gala. LOS ANGELES^ USA. February 02^ 2024

The 2025 inductees to the Songwriters Hall of Fame have been announced, which honors some of the most influential figures in music history. This year’s class includes legendary acts such as The Doobie Brothers, George Clinton, and The Beach Boys’ Mike Love, as well as hitmakers like Ashley Gorley and Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

Hall of Fame Chairman Nile Rodgers said in a statement: “The foundation of the music industry exists because songwriters compose great songs. Without them, there is no recorded music, no concert business, no fans, or merchandising; it all starts with the song and the songwriter. We are therefore very proud that we are continually recognizing some of the culturally most important writers of all time and that this year’s slate represents not just iconic songs, but also diversity and unity across genres and ethnicities. These songwriters have enriched the lives of billions of listeners the world over. It’s our honor to honor them.”

Clinton has penned such songs as “Atomic Dog” and “I’d Rather Be With You,” while The Doobie Brothers are known for such songs as “Takin’ It to the Streets” and “Long Train Runnin’.” Ashley Gorley wrote Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” and Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” while Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins wrote “Say My Name” for Destiny’s Child and “The Boy is Mine” for Monica and Brandy. Mike Love wrote the Beach Boys hits “California Girls” and “Good Vibrations,” and Tony Macaulay wrote “Build Me Up Buttercup” and “Baby Now That I’ve Found You” for The Foundations.

Established in 1969, the Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) serves as a vital bridge between music’s past and future. In the Hall, musical pioneers are enshrined and celebrated, while the organization’s outreach to the music community grooms the next generation of troubadours. To qualify for induction, a songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for induction 20 years after the first commercial release of a song.

The induction ceremony is slated for Thursday, June 12, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Additional special award honorees will be announced soon.

10 people confirmed dead in missing plane crash in Alaska; victims identified

Alaska state trooper official batch icon on clothes close up Titusville^ FL^ USA - Feb. 12^ 2021

All 10 people aboard a small plane that went missing and was later discovered crashed in Alaska have been confirmed dead.  Officials have said the Bering Air Cessna Caravan took off from Unalakleet, on the east coast of Norton Sound in western Alaska, and was headed to Nome around 140 miles away.

According to Alaska State Troopers, the bodies of nine passengers and one pilot who died in the Bering Air caravan crash in Alaska on Thursday have now been recovered from the wreckage, with the Alaska Department of Public Safety sharing in a statement that they have positively identified all the victims on the plane after they were recovered and brought to Nome.

The dead were identified as pilot Chad Antill, 34, of Nome; Liane Ryan, 52, of Wasilla; Donnell Erickson, 58, of Nome; Andrew Gonzalez, 30, of Wasilla; Kameron Hartvigson, 41, of Anchorage; Rhone Baumgartner, 46, of Anchorage; Jadee Moncur, 52, of Eagle River; Ian Hofmann, 45, of Anchorage; Talaluk Katchatag, 34, of Unalakleet; and Carol Mooers, 48; of Unalakleet.

National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said at a news conference that the NTSB — which was investigating the crash — and responding agencies would work on recovering the wreckage.  The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium said in a statement that two of its employees — Rhone Baumgartner and Kameron Hartvigson — died in the crash. The company said the pair had traveled to Unalakleet “to service a heat recovery system that is critical to the community’s water plant.”

Bering Air Director of Operations David Olson told NBC affiliate KTUU of Anchorage that the plane took off at 2:37 p.m. Thursday. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Benjamin McIntyre-Coble said at a news briefing that at around 3:18 p.m., radar analysis showed “this aircraft experienced some kind of event which caused them to experience a rapid loss in elevation and a rapid loss in speed. The wreckage was found about 34 miles southeast of Nome, according to the U.S. Coast Guard said.
