The Tour Championship features Week 1’s round-robin group stage (32 players) and Week 2’s 16-player knockout bracket in match play to crown the year-end champion, with a new Challenger Series handling promotion and relegation.

Marte Seen at Casino as D-backs Continue Postseason Push

Ketel Marte, the Diamondbacks’ injured star, was photographed gambling at a casino near the team complex while Arizona won to stay in playoff contention. Manager Torey Lovullo said Marte is free to do as he wishes provided he handles rehab and shows up ready to work, following a prior no-show that briefly triggered the restricted list. Teammates stressed his presence is crucial for the postseason run, leaving the clubhouse to navigate mixed feelings as Marte works toward a return.

Spieth’s St. Jude collapse costs 2027 $20M postseason invite

Jordan Spieth missed the FedEx Cup top 50 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, sacrificing a guaranteed spot in 2027’s $20 million signature events; his final-round 70 failed to overcome a late slide, and Keith Mitchell also fell short on the 18th bubble. The tour’s revamped points system aims to stabilize qualification, but the postseason price remains steep for those on the bubble.

Lakers Build Postseason Momentum After Close Loss

Lakers Build Postseason Momentum After Close Loss

The Lakers’ 113–110 loss to Detroit came after a nine-game stretch that boosted their offense, defense, and net rating, leaving L.A. poised for a deep postseason run. LeBron James is playing a more restrained, playmaking role while Deandre Ayton anchors the defense and other role players like Reaves, Hachimura, and Kennard help stretch the floor. Although Luka Dončić’s scoring feats for Dallas loom in the MVP conversation context, the Lakers’ blend of star power and stifling defense has them entering the playoffs believing they can navigate a Western Conference gauntlet that could include Houston in the first round and potential battles with Wembanyama and Holmgren in later rounds.
