Rolex 24, Hour 19: Crash shakes up LMP2
Further inspection when the car was brought back to the pits uncovered a broken rear wishbone. Whether that broken suspension was the cause or the effect of Herta spinning and crashing at the West Horseshoe is yet to be revealed. But it brought out a full course yellow for the first time since sunrise.
Algarve Pro Racing's crew got the car back out on track about 10 minutes ago after rebuilding most of the rear of the car but the No. 04 machine, a strong contender for the LMP2 win today, is now 10 laps down in its class.
The race restarted with five hours and 21 minutes to go, but immediately went back to FCY for a three-car incident in GTD.
Alessandro Pier Guidi in the No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari and Scott Andrews in the No. 80 Lone Star Racing Mercedes-AMG spun going into Turn 1, and Pier Guidi crashed into the side of the No. 78 Forte Racing Lamborghini of Misha Goikhberg. The Lamborghini was towed away, while the Mercedes and Ferrari both limped back to the pits.
Green flag racing is back underway despite a Turn 1 collision between Filipe Albuquerque (No. 10 Cadillac) and Marco Wittmann (No. 25 BMW) that caused a left-rear puncture for the BMW.
Nick Tandy leads in the No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963, ahead of teammate Matt Campbell in the No. 6 Porsche, and Kevin Magnussen in the No. 24 RLL BMW M Hybrid V8. Scott Dixon is fourth in the No. 93 MSR Acura ARX-06 despite just picking up a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pits.
Dane Cameron and AO Racing are fighting at the front of LMP2, Matthieu Vaxiviere is a close second for AF Corse. The No. 99 leads the No. 88, with the No. 8 Tower Motorsports car of Sebastian Alvarez in third and the No. 18 ERA Motorsport car of Ryan Dalziel in fourth.
Neil Verhagen leads GTD PRO for Paul Miller Racing in the No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, from the No. 4 Corvette of Nico Varrone, the No. 65 Ford of Dennis Olsen and the other Corvette, the No. 3 of Antonio Garcia.
Marvin Kirchhöfer maintains the No. 13 AWA Corvette's lead in GTD but he has the Mercedes-AMG of Kenton Koch, the Porsche of Tom Sargent, and the Aston Martin of Zacharie Robichon right behind him.

2025 Tour Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions
The PGA Tour season wraps up this week with the 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The FedExCup champion will be crowned, taking home a $10 million payout. With only 30 players in the field, the stakes are high this week. Below, we look at Tour Championship odds from BetMGM Sportsbook's odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions. The FedExCup Playoffs field was trimmed from 50 to 30 players at the BMW Championship, which Scottie Scheffler won. Unlike in years past, the Tour Championship will not have starting strokes for players based on their position in the FedExCup standings. Therefore, the winner of this week's tournament will also be the FedExCup champion. Scheffler is the heavy favorite at +165, followed by Rory McIlroy (+800), Tommy Fleetwood (+1200) and Ludvig Aberg (+1400). It's a loaded field with only 30 players, heightening the level of competition in Atlanta. East Lake (par 71, 7,490 yards) underwent a major restoration project after the 2023 Tour Championship, completely changing the layout and look of the course. Holes were changed significantly, grass types were swapped out in the fairways and greens, making it feel like a vastly different track. Tour Championship – Expert picks Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 9:33 a.m. ET. McIlroy won here in 2022 and has finished no worse than 16th in his career at this event. East Lake is a long course and McIlroy is one of the longest hitters on tour, giving him an edge over most players in the field. And with there being no starting strokes anymore, he won't be chasing down Scheffler. Hovland is a former winner here, taking home the title in 2023. He also finished fifth in 2021, 12th last year and 15th in 2022, showing good form at East Lake. His game seems to be rounding into form after finishing seventh last week at the BMW, making him a real contender at the Tour Championship this week. Burns tied for fourth at the BMW Championship last week, 5 shots off the pace set by Scheffler. That performance got him back on track after some subpar performances, but he's another player who tends to succeed at East Lake. He finished 12th last year, eighth in 2023 and 18th in 2021, with his worst finish being 24th in 2022. Tour Championship picks – Contenders Hall is making some noise leading into the Ryder Cup selection deadline and though he hasn't garnered much interest from the European team, that could change with a win this week. He's finished 28th or better in 11 straight starts this season, including a solo sixth last week. Bradley isn't turning his full attention to the Ryder Cup just yet, putting his focus on this week's Tour Championship where he finished ninth last year after the course's redesign. He's a great driver of the ball and keeps it in the fairway, making him a perfect fit for East Lake where hitting fairways is critical. WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+! Get ESPN+ Tour Championship picks – Long shots Im is a perennial contender at East Lake, finishing between second and 24th in each of the last 5 years. He may not be in the best form but he's played well enough lately to earn his spot in the Tour Championship. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!

LIV's DeChambeau joins Henley and English as US Ryder Cup qualifiers
LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau joined PGA Tour players Russell Henley and Harris English in qualifying for US Ryder Cup team spots after Sunday's BMW Championship, the last US points event. World number one Scottie Scheffler, a two-time Masters champion who won this year's British Open and PGA Championship, US Open winner J.J. Spaun and two-time major winner Xander Schauffele had already clinched berths based on accumulated qualifying points. US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley will announce his six captain's picks to complete the squad on August 27, with a major question being whether or not he will pick himself to play against Europe at Bethpage Black next month. Scheffler, who won his fifth title of the year Sunday at the BMW, is 2-2-3 in Ryder Cup matches. Spaun and Henley will be making their Ryder Cup debuts. Schauffele, last year's British Open and PGA Championship winner, is 4-4-0 in two prior Ryder Cups while English was 1-2-0 on the triumphant US team in 2021 at Whistling Straits. DeChambeau, a two-time US Open champion, won this year's LIV Golf Korea title and has a 2-3-1 Ryder Cup record. js/bb
