Pick of the stats: Portsmouth v QPR
Pompey have moved seven points clear of the relegation zone after beating Cardiff and Oxford in their past two games and will hope to pull further away from danger.
The Hoops are 13th but only four points off the top six and still in contention for a play-off spot.
After winning the reverse fixture 2-1 in October last year, Portsmouth will be looking to record a first league double over QPR since the 1961-62 season.
QPR are unbeaten across their past three visits to Fratton Park to face Portsmouth in the league (W1 D2), since a 3-0 defeat in August 1998.
Following wins over Cardiff and Oxford, Portsmouth are looking for three consecutive three Championship victories for the first time since winning six in a row in February/March 2011.
QPR have won six of their nine Championship matches in 2025 (L3), with only Leeds (21), Sheffield United (21) and Coventry (19) winning more points so far this year than the Hoops (18).
Ilias Chair has been directly involved in six goals in his past nine Championship appearances for Queens Park Rangers (2 goals, 4 assists) although he's yet to score an away goal this season.

Erik van Rooyen withdraws from Wyndham Championship late Friday afternoon
There was another withdrawal at the 2025 Wyndham Championship, as Erik van Rooyen tapped out with a back injury Friday afternoon, according to the PGA Tour. The South African was 1 over through 14 holes (he started on No. 10) in his second round. He was 4 over overall, well off the projected cut line of 4 under. There were four previous withdrawals since Sunday from this event, the final one of the 2025 regular season for the PGA Tour and van Rooyen's departure was announced 10 minutes after the tournament officials suspended play for "dangerous weather." In the projected FedEx Cup Playoffs standings at the time of his WD, van Rooyen was 68th, down four spots from where he was when the tournament started. Only the top 70 in the points on Sunday night advance to the first event in the postseason, next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.

2025 Amundi Evian Championship prize money payouts for each player in France
When it comes to money talk in France, the buzz around the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship was how much a player didn't make. Amateur Lottie Woad finished in a share of third at the year's fourth major championship but didn't collect the six-figure paycheck. That's on top of the nearly $79,000 winner's check she didn't receive after winning the LET's KPMG Women's Irish Open last week. Instead, Minjee Lee took $523,761 for her share of third. Grace Kim took home $1.2 million for her extraordinary playoff victory over Jeeno Thitikul that included an eagle-birdie-finish. While it was a tough final round for England's Cara Gainer, the T-14 finish still gave the LET player a rare six-figure check of $112,525. Players who made the trip to France but missed the cut still earned $3,000 to help cover expenses. 2025 Amundi Evian Championship prize money payouts Pos.

NASCAR still mulling championship format for 2026 and/or beyond
NASCAR is still going through the process of deciding its championship for the foreseeable future, but much to the chagrin of some fans, NBC Sports will still have a oversized say-so in what direction the sport goes. A playoff committee has been assembled, and has met multiple times this year, and is comprised of drivers, Hall of Fame inductees, broadcasters, officials, media members and broadcast executives. It's been a polarizing topic over the past week with every indication pointing towards NASCAR retaining a playoff format of some kind instead of reverting back to a season long points format. NASCAR's managing director of racing communications, Mike Forde, detailed on Wednesday's episode of his officially sanctioned 'Hauler Talk' podcast about the state of those conversations. 'We're going to have a discussion with our broadcast partners at NBC,' Forde said. 'NBC does have a seat at the table and they have a member of their team [on the playoff committee]. … There are other people at NBC who have a huge voice. Obviously, they are spending a lot of money to broadcast NASCAR. They do have a large seat at the table, so we'll be talking to them and getting their opinions on that. I feel like people have kind of scoffed at that move and have been incredulous that NBC does have such a huge voice — that feels strange to me. I feel like that is a pretty obvious thing that we need to do. They have a big voice because they write the biggest check. 'But once we come upon a menu of options, we do plan to have a fan council survey that goes out to get the fans' point of view. I know Mark Martin has put an X poll out there, Jeff Gluck has put an X poll out there, so we are also going to take a survey of our fans — that's part of our plan anyway.' Forde said a change won't be made from the status quo unless NASCAR feels very strongly that it is the right thing to do. 'TBD on really when the next step is and if we have enough time to get changes in place for 2026,' Forde said. 'I think that's something we'll work towards but making that happen as we're getting closer to the middle of August to talk to NBC and have a full-blown meeting and the aftermath of what that will be –may be a little bit tricky — but I wouldn't completely rule out 2026 changes, either. … There are really lots of opinions, so I think it's just boiling it down to the top four, getting with NBC, then getting back to the committee and then getting with NASCAR leadership to say here's what it is. 'Now, can we do that in time and feel good about it for 2026? What it comes down to is we don't want to feel like we are pushing through a change that we're going to have to change again. We want to feel really, really good about. If that can happen for 2026, great. If not, I think we're comfortable waiting for 2027.' The current format is a 16-driver, three round elimination gauntlet that is eventually decided by a one-race best-finisher-take-all finale between a final four. The format heavily rewards winning through advancing into the tournament but also advancing from round-to-round. Before this format, NASCAR used a 10 (and later 12) driver, 10-race points battle after the regular season in which the participants were the drivers highest in championship points re-seeded based on their regular season running order. Prior to that was the season long points battle which emphasized average finish over the course of the whole year.
