The ‘tragedy' ruining Jordan Spieth's career — Gary Player doesn't hold back
Gary Player believes Jordan Spieth can be the standard in golf. And that's why the golf legend said it's a 'tragedy' that Spieth has fallen off due to what he believes is poor coaching. 'Jordan Spieth, I think, is the best golfer in the world, but in my opinion, he was taught the wrong thing. He was taught the wrong thing. And he just went downhill,' Player said in a video 'The Golf Supply' YouTube channel posted this week. 'If you had a man like Ben Hogan teaching Jordan Spieth, he would be the best in the world. He's such a competitor, such a wonderful man. A wonderful guy for golf, the best short game, oh man, best course management, but, man, he just can't hit the ball, ya know? That is a tragedy.' Player, 89, tackled Spieth's career while teaching a player and discussing the 'tremendous lack of knowledge' in the sport. He bemoaned the coaching that American players are receiving, specifically the bowed wrist technique, saying once players do that, 'you're gone' and 'your golf career is limited.' 4 Gary Player didn't hold back on Jordan Spieth. @thegolfsupply/YouTube 4 Jordan Spieth during the St. Jude Championship on Aug. 7, 2025. AP 'I would say in America today, the golf pros that are teaching know less about golf,' he said. Player, who won nine majors, first mentioned Dustin Johnson, asking: 'When's the last you heard of Dustin Johnson?' He later told the student how a golfer has to get his hands under the club and then commented on Spieth and Rickie Fowler. Player did, though, have some hope for Spieth, saying he saw his swing recently. 4 Jordan Spieth has not won an event in 2025. Getty Images 'So, he might do a lot better this week,' Player said, 'I'm hoping he will.' Spieth, 31, ranked as the top player in the world in 2015 and has won three majors in his career, but last did so in 2017, when he triumphed at The Open Championship. He currently ranks 52nd in the sport and has not won an event since the 2022 RBC Heritage. Spieth has finished fourth twice this year, but also tallied 40th, 31st and 38th results in his last three events, respectively. 4 Gary Player in 2022.

Why ice is power in North Texas
The world of youth sports has traditionally revolved around the athletes, their families and community non-profits. Volunteers, who see youth sports as a labor of love, drive many of the decisions. But that's not the case in northern Texas, where a National Hockey League team valued at $2 billion is calling the shots. The Dallas Stars shuts parents out and effectively controls the pathways by which young players advance to the highest ranks of the sport, according to a seven-month investigation by USA TODAY's Kenny Jacoby. 👋 USA TODAY Editor-in-Chief Caren Bohan here. Welcome to The Backstory, our newsletter exclusively for subscribers (that's you!). I'll be taking you behind the scenes of our breaking news coverage, scoops and unique storytelling. I also love to hear from our subscribers, so drop me a line at cbohan@ if you have something on your mind. NHL youth hockey team valued at $2 billion capitalizes local rinks Kenny Jacoby's reporting on the Dallas Stars National Hockey league team epitomizes the accountability journalism that is a pillar of USA TODAY's relationship with our readers, viewers and listeners. It was gratifying to see the response from so many readers who wrote in thank Jacoby for shedding light on the topic and giving voice to the frustrations of people who felt they had no say. "What caught my interest was that a for-profit National Hockey League team valued at $2 billion was so intimately involved in running the sport's youth levels," Jacoby says. "It sounded nothing like my experiences playing youth baseball, soccer, basketball and football in community leagues run by nonprofit organizations and volunteers. " Jacoby's story and related video brought responses from well over 100 readers. "The issue struck a nerve with parents not just in Texas, but across the country," Jacoby says. "Our Formstack callout alone generated nearly 80 responses from hockey parents in 19 states. Many expressed similar concerns about for-profit entities taking over rinks and leagues in their areas, strong-arming families into paying higher prices and using positions on nonprofit governing bodies to advance their financial interests. 🏒 Sound familiar?

These USA TODAY headlines caught my eye this week: When empty churches answer housing scarcity The number of Americans who belong to a church, synagogue or mosque has plummeted over the last few decades, dropping from 70% in 1999 to just 47% in 2020, according to a Gallup poll. The result is that houses of worship that were once anchors of the community are at risk of becoming vacant and falling into disrepair. As USA TODAY reporter Andrea Riquier writes, some house hunters are seeing an opportunity, viewing some of the vacant houses of worship as an opportunity to acquire their dream home. Riquier interviews homeowners such as Cristiana Peña and Nick Porter who decided they were "all-in" on embracing a non-traditional home and renovation costs in exchange for living in a beautiful, historic space. For anyone thinking of taking the leap, be forewarned: the process comes special challenges, including expensive rehab work and, in some case, complicated financing.

US stars in World Cup picture to keep eye on as European seasons begin
With the countdown to the 2026 World Cup in full swing, American soccer fans will have a greater interest in what's going on overseas, with some of the U.S. Men's National Team players competing in the Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga and elsewhere. The 2025-26 season will be one of the most consequential for some players as they look to rebound or to build their cases as to why they should be a part of the American roster at the World Cup. And there may be no bigger spotlights than those on Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna. Advertisement Pulisic, entering his third year at AC Milan in Italy's Serie A, has been the focus of criticism from USMNT alums for not participating in the Gold Cup this summer, which led to a very public spat that involved Landon Donovan and Pulisic's father. But the pride of Hershey, Pa., has become a sensation in Italy, scoring 32 goals in his first two seasons with AC Milan, and the club will need that as it hopes to improve from an eighth-place finish last season. Pulisic had been dealing with a minor ankle injury, but he returned to full practice, and AC Milan doesn't open the Serie A season until Aug. 23.

AFP via Getty Images Reyna, for now, appears that he'll start the year with German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, though the writing on the wall seems to suggest his time there could be coming to an end. While any potential transfer from Dortmund has moved at a crawl — Reyna had been linked to Serie A side Parma over the summer — the son of USMNT alum Claudio Reyna needs to get off to a fast start to help his World Cup chances. After he saw just 12 minutes during Dortmund's run in the Club World Cup and the club announced it had given the prestigious No. 7 that Reyna had worn since 2021 to another player, it seems like playing time could be tough for him to see until a move is made.

Hendrik Deckers/Borussia Dortmund via Getty Images Here are some other USMNT players to keep an eye on during the European season: Tyler Adams, AFC Bournemouth (Premier League): The USMNT captain and former Red Bull midfielder is coming off his best season with the club and is developing into one of the leaders for Bournemouth, which finished in the top half of the table in 2024-25. Brenden Aaronson, Leeds United (Premier League): The midfielder appeared in five matches during the USMNT run in the Gold Cup, scoring a goal and registering an assist. Last year, he helped Leeds finish first in the EFL Championship — England's second division — to earn a promotion back to the Premier League.

Getty Images Malik Tillman, Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga): Tillman made the jump to Bayer Leverkusen this summer from PSV in the Netherlands. In two years with PSV, he had 25 goals and 17 assists while helping the club win back-to-back league titles. Timothy Weah, Olympique de Marseille (Ligue 1): After two seasons with Juventus in Italy, Weah is back in Ligue 1. The move will give Weah some all-important playing time heading into 2026 after making 78 appearances and scoring 14 goals for Juventus. Sergiño Dest, PSV Eindhoven (Eredivisie): The fullback has come out firing to start the season for Dutch club PSV, scoring in the first game of the season last weekend, and he was a key contributor the week before when he scored the winning goal in the Dutch Super Cup. He missed a majority of the 2024-25 season due to a torn ACL and had to pull out of the Gold Cup because of an injury. Johnny Cardoso, Atlético Madrid (LaLiga): The 23-year-old midfielder completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid last month from rival Real Betis and hopes to put a disappointing summer at the Gold Cup — injury hindered him from making much of an impact with the USMNT — behind him.
