ATLANTA — The brother of NFL player Calais Campbell was charged with murdering their mother in Atlanta.

Police officers found Nateal Campbell’s body on Tuesday during a welfare check. An arrest warrant says Ciarre Campbell was found with a knife. His family told police he struggled with mental illness. He’s being held in Fulton County Jail and waived his initial court appearance Wednesday.

The Campbell family has requested privacy while they grieve. Calais Campbell, a defensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, is entering his 19th NFL season. He’s a six-time Pro Bowl selection with 117 career sacks.

Sony flips over to Champions

HONOLULU — The golf season in Hawaii again starts at Waialae Country Club next year as a PGA Tour Champions event that will be called the Sony Championship.

The PGA Tour and Sony on Wednesday announced the change, which had been expected since April when the tour said it would not be returning to Maui for The Sentry, which since 1999 had preceded the Sony Open.

It will be held Jan. 14-16 — ending on a Saturday — at Waialae, which had hosted a PGA Tour event since 1965. The prize fund will be $3 million. Past champions at Waialae now on the 50-and-older circuit include Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Zach Johnson and Jerry Kelly.
