TGL Week 6: Atlanta Drive GC rallies from 5-2 hole to beat LAGC in overtime
After a one-week break, TGL resumed its season with a Presidents Day triple-header on Monday. Teeing off in the afternoon out of its usual primetime setting, the first matchup featured the undefeated Atlanta Drive GC (1-0) and the Los Angeles Golf Club (2-0).
LAGC took an early 1-0 lead on the third hole, with Justin Rose sinking a 14-foot putt. However, the match was tied at 1-1 on the next hole when Justin Thomas threw The Hammer for Atlanta, but LAGC declined. (Each team got three Hammers under new rules, compared to one during previous TGL matches.)
Sahith Theegala missed a putt on the fifth hole that would have given LAGC the lead, but the shot lipped out. The two teams remained tied at 2-2 after Holes 6 and 7.

LAGC won the ninth hole on a Thomas putt from seven feet to take a 3-2 lead. They built that margin to 5-2 when Tommy Fleetwood sank a birdie to win Hole 11.

However, Atlanta rallied to make it 5-4 on Hole 13 with a Billy Horschel putt. LAGC held its slight edge until Hole 15 when Thomas chipped in to move the match to overtime.
In overtime, it's a closest to the pin challenge in TGL. Fleetwood looked like he gave LAGC the win when he holed in his shot. But Patrick Cantlay finished off Atlanta's rally and got the win, landing his shot to within five feet of the pin.

With the win, Atlanta improved to 2-0 and will try to remain undefeated against The Bay GC in their 4 p.m. ET. LAGC took its first loss and dropped to 2-0-1, but still looks like the TGL favorite ahead of a match next Monday against New York GC (0-2).
The Bay Golf Club and Boston Common Golf will wrap up the night in the third matchup of the day. That will feature Rory McIlroy and Ludvig Åberg, who is fresh off his win at the Genesis Invitational in Southern California on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals Year 2 player outlook: OLB Xavier Thomas
The Arizona Cardinals drafted 12 players in 2024. Some of them had contributions as rookies. Some will have greater roles in 2025. Others will have to battle for the roster. They selected outside linebacker Xavier Thomas in the fifth round with the 138th overall pick. Entering Year 2 in the NFL, let's have a look at his 2025 outlook. LB Xavier Thomas' 2024 season Thomas played in 14 games last season and was inactive in three other ones as a healthy scratch. Most of the season, he was part of the defensive rotation. He logged a total of 208 defensive snaps and finished the season with 10 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and four quarterback hits. He averaged about 15 defensive snaps per game. Xavier Thomas' Year 2 outlook in 2025 Thomas doesn't have an easy path to the final roster. The Cardinals signed Josh Sweat in free agency, re-signed Baron Brown and drafted Jordan Burch in the third round. BJ Ojulari is coming back from a torn ACL. Zaven Collins is still here. He is, at best, No. 6 on the depth chart. Will the Cardinals keep six outside linebackers? That is the question, especially since inside linebacker Mack Wilson and defensive lineman Darius Robinson are versatile enough to play the defensive edge some as welll.
