Golf

Min Woo Lee fired a 62 Thursday to grab a two-shot lead at the Tour Championship, tying his career low on the PGA Tour. Defending champion Tommy Fleetwood sits in contention after a 66 at East Lake, trailing by just four strokes heading into the weekend. Meanwhile, Good Good Golf is ending its tournament sponsorship of a PGA Tour event in November, following backlash over a recent ad campaign.

College Sports Governance

The ACC has joined other Power 4 leagues in barring professionals from returning to college football and men’s and women’s basketball eligibility. That move comes amid a legal showdown in Texas, where a Dallas judge signed an order prohibiting the NCAA, the SEC and Commissioner Greg Sankey from blocking a group of athletes seeking one more season of play.

WNBA & Women’s Sports

With the World Cup break approaching, our updated WNBA player rankings still have A’ja Wilson at No. 1, with Caitlin Clark, Napheesa Collier and Angel Reese moving within the top tier. Off the court, Clark unveiled her “Friendship Bracelet” colorway for the Caitlin 1 sneakers, a nod to the Eras Tour bracelet she received from Taylor Swift.

In volleyball, the inaugural “Spikes Under the Lights” event at AT&T Stadium features four teams competing for a $1 million prize. The lineup includes stars with NBA pedigree — Kapri Garnett, Ryelle Rondo, Cari Spears and Kennedy Martin — whose fathers are legends but are making their own name.

Fights & Fantasy

Track & Field

At the Zurich Diamond League, Swiss 19-year-old Audrey Werro fell just short of the oldest outdoor athletics world record, finishing four-tenths of a second behind Jarmila Kratochvílová’s 1983 mark of 1:53.28.

F1 & Recruiting

Max Verstappen is gearing up for Max vs. 100, a unique event where he’ll line up at the back alongside 100 racers in a test of driving DNA. His Formula 1 résumé includes 61 grand prix wins, 100 podiums and 2,000+ points, and he returns to his roots for this exhibition.

On the recruiting trail, Beckham Black leads our top 25 high school players list, which features 16 seniors, six juniors and three sophomores, and the college football sleepers list includes Khobie Martin and Jabril Rawls as potential breakout stars this fall. Lastly, defensive tackle Uar Bernard, known as “built by the gods,” joined the Eagles after a long path that saw scouts from multiple countries haggle for his final signature.
