00:00Good day, welcome to the Golf News update for Sunday July 17th. Here are the top stories

00:06at this hour.

00:08Turkey's state-run Andalou News Agency says detention orders have been issued for 53 more

00:13judges and prosecutors, while 52 military officers have been rounded up for their alleged

00:18roles in the failed coup.

00:19The reports followed an intensive crackdown against the judiciary and the military in

00:23the wake of the botched coup against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Officials

00:27say about 3,000 soldiers, including officers, are already in detention. Almost a similar

00:33number of judges and prosecutors have been dismissed.

00:37While the Donald Trump-Mike Pence presidential ticket made its debut at a weekend event that

00:41was awkward at times, it highlights a pairing designed in part to bring together fractious

00:46elements of the Republican Party on the eve of its national convention.

00:50Trump spent more time talking about himself, crooked Hillary Clinton and standard policy

00:54positions than he did praising running mate Mike Pence in a nearly 30-minute introduction.

01:00Carlos Nuzman, head of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, said the world's top four male golfers have

01:05withdrawn from the Games because there is no money to be won, not because of the Zika

01:09virus. Jordan Spieth was the last of the top four to withdraw from the Olympics, citing

01:14health concerns and other matters he said were personal. Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and

01:19Rory McIlroy said Zika was the main reason for skipping the first Olympic golf tournament

01:24in 112 years.

01:26Sir Elton John, Selena Gomez, Major Lazer and All Saints are coming to Dubai this year.

01:31The four acts will perform at the new Autism Rocks Arena, located near Dubai Outlet Mall.

01:37Major Lazer and All Saints will perform at the Fiesta de los Muertos on October 28. Gomez

01:42will bring her revival tour to the city on November 18. Sir Elton John will perform with
