Golf Digest used last week's four rounds at East Lake to project how the 2026 Tour Championship would have played as match play. The piece says it is not a perfect replication of what will happen in 2028. Also in this pack: Scheffler's winning WITB, TPI on Michael Brennan generating vertical force early, five training takeaways from Scheffler's trainer, MyGolfSpy's Best Wedges of 2026 dashboard, and a quote-tweet asking for Tiger Woods' career earnings adjusted for inflation after SportsCenter s
Luke Kerr-Dineen, Golf Digest Game Plan, uses Corey Jez and Tour IQ ShotLink data to show that shot patterns are a bell curve, not an even oval. Pros still aim away from real hazards. When a short-sided miss is a pretend penalty, they fire closer to tucked pins so most shots finish nearer the hole. This is instruction, not a 2026 Tour Championship result.
MLB posted a video of the Top 10 Baseball Is The Best moments chosen by Sarah Langs for the 250-for-250 series. The same account also posted a Payton Tolle gem and a September 1 schedule graphic. The ranking is Langs' list, not a league-wide vote.
CBS analyst Tony Romo released a statement saying multiple back surgeries led to a dependence on pain medication, and that his efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol. He said he is working with a team of doctors to address his health, plans to return to CBS in time, and asked for privacy. This page reports the statement as posted by Ari Meirov. It does not add a medical or moral judgment.
Ryan Mouque says the best thing he did for his game was to stop caring, and his scores improved. He also posted a Justin Rose-style chipping drill: short and sharp, hinge up, thumbs down, stop around waist high. Skratch posted a clip to protect Johnson Wagner at all costs. Instruction and color, not tour results.

The Financial Times reported that LIV Golf is preparing to file for bankruptcy in September. The FT card on the tweet says the challenger league is negotiating a funding package with BC Partners for a slimmed-down circuit. That is a report of preparations, not a confirmed filing in court. No dollar figures are in the tweet.

The NFL awarded 29 waiver claims Monday, according to Tom Pelissero's official sheets posted at 1:49 p.m. ET. Dallas claimed running back Emari Demercado from Kansas City. Miami claimed seven players, including Brady Cook and Justin Joly. New England claimed tight end Cameron Latu from Philadelphia. The Jets claimed kicker Blake Grupe from Indianapolis. Las Vegas was awarded only Darrell Luter. Cedric Tillman cleared the Monday waiver awards and signed the Saints practice squad Tuesday.
Tennessee waived Will Levis. Dallas waived Jaydon Blue and Jashaun Corbin. Malik Davis won the Cowboys RB2 job on special teams; the rumor that Dallas kept a UFL back over Blue is false. Odell Beckham Jr. is on the Giants 53. The Rams 53 lists Aaron Donald on the defensive line next to Myles Garrett at outside linebacker. Donald's deal is one year, $20 million, incentives to $30 million. Polymarket had Donald to sign at 99 percent and Week 1 play at 66 percent.
Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship. He said the season is over and he earned a beer. Tiger Woods marked three wins, five runner-ups, and No. 1 and called the season historic. Rules officials said Viktor Hovland did not appear to touch the sand. Golf Digest on which stats matter. The Golf Engineer on the driver sweet spot.

The Reds beat the Cubs 7-5 on Sunday Night Baseball. The Dallas Wings beat the Connecticut Sun 97-71.
Luke Kerr-Dineen walks Grober's Yale lecture and Novosel's Tour Tempo: the ratio holds even when Rahm is short and Singh is long. Smooth means even, not low-and-slow. This is a range tape, not East Lake news, and it does not touch the 2028 format collection.

By Sunday evening, the final wave of roster moves was in. Odell Beckham Jr. made the Giants’ initial 53, the Titans waived Will Levis, and the Packers placed Micah Parsons on PUP while listing Kaleb Johnson as inbound pending a physical. The 49ers designated Christian Kirk to return from IR, and Dallas sent Nate Thomas to Houston as the late roster churn continued.

Sunday filings only. Aaron Donald unretired and is on the Rams initial 53. The NFL put Packers running back Josh Jacobs on the commissioner’s exempt list. The Bills traded Sedrick Van Pran-Granger. Miami got Kyle McCord. Jacksonville sent Hunter Long to Arizona. Green Bay got Mark Redman. Deadline is still 6pm ET.
The 53-man deadline is still 6 p.m. ET Sunday. New filings: the Steelers sent tackle Broderick Jones and a 2027 fourth-round pick to Dallas for a 2027 third and sixth. The Bills released Mecole Hardman. The Cardinals waived lineman Christian Jones. McCarthy, AOC, Fulton, Howell, Kaleb Johnson, and Tracy are unfiled. OBJ is on an NFL roster, not a named 53. Tillman is a free agent as of Saturday. Kirk remains IR or release.
NFL teams have until 6 p.m. Sunday to get to 53 players. This is the first Sunday cut deadline in 22 years. The league moved it so the 49ers and Rams are not building a practice squad while they fly to Melbourne. About 1,184 jobs go away overnight. The Dublin clip that is spreading is Belichick's first-down signal, not the 15-10 final.
Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship at East Lake. He shot 66 on Sunday and finished 16-under. Viktor Hovland was second at 13-under. Ryan Gerard was third at 12-under. Official PGA TOUR posts first.
Before the 53-man deadline, New England traded Kayshon Boutte to Houston and Miami flipped Tutu Atwell back to the Rams for Jarquez Hunter. The Raiders released Noah Brown on August 24; as a vested veteran he is a free agent, not a Monday-waiver name. Cedric Tillman cleared waivers Saturday and is a free agent.

NFL clubs hit 53 on Sunday for the first time in 22 years. The league moved the deadline so the 49ers and Rams can fly to Melbourne. Yahoo put the count at 1,184 roster spots overnight. The loudest CFB thread is r/CFB on Dan Lanning: once you declare, you are a professional, and letting those players come back is unfair. Courts told the SEC it cannot punish schools for rostering players with NFL ties. Troy Vincent said if you go back to campus you cannot play in the league this season.
Luke Kerr-Dineen says elite golf chased fades and more players are gravitating to a tour draw. Grant Horvat, in a TaylorMade clip, talks tempo as sequence: wait at the top.
The 2028 TOUR Championship format is not a published spec. It is a PGA TOUR video that Lou Stagner liked. Two clips cover Rules already in the book: red versus yellow penalty areas, and Rule 6.2b(6) re-tee. Two speed videos show Tour outliers: Brennan's 120-degree shoulder turn and Breed's lead-leg jump. You cannot set starting scores from a like. You cannot copy a 120-degree turn you do not have. Yellow stakes still are not a free drop. You can re-tee a topped ball still in the teeing area.
