Here's the latest on the state of the race for a postseason spot in the first season of TGL presented by SoFi.
The SoFi Cup Standings are taking shape and the playoff picture is almost in clear view with just three matches remaining in the regular season. It’s last call for teams hoping to make the postseason after three squads clinched their spots during a Monday doubleheader in TGL presented by SoFi.
Collin Morikawa, Tony Finau and Sahith Theegala sent Los Angeles Golf Club to the postseason with a spectacular comeback win over New York Golf Club. The loss for New York also locked The Bay into the postseason. TBGC then topped Jupiter Links 6-3 on Tuesday to move to the top of the SoFi Cup Standings.
Atlanta Drive cruised to a win over Boston Common Golf to improve to 3-1 on the season and clinch a playoff berth.
SoFi Cup Standings
The top four teams in the SoFi Cup Standings make the playoffs at the end of the regular season, meaning Boston, New York and Jupiter will be battling for the final spot.
In the event of a tie, total holes won on the season will be used as the tiebreaker. New York currently has 15 holes won, Boston has 11 and Jupiter has 9.
Playoff Possibilities
The winner of The Bay vs. Los Angeles match on Monday, March 3 (3PM ET) will be the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. If Los Angeles wins in Overtime there will be tiebreaker scenarios to determine the top seed.
Atlanta Drive could improve to the No. 2 seed with a win over Jupiter in its final match on Tuesday, March 4 (7PM ET), but it can't drop out of the No. 3 seed.
New York is currently in fourth place with three points on the season. All NYGC has to do is win its final match against Boston on Monday, March 3 (7PM ET) to guarantee the fourth, and final, playoff spot. Here are the potential paths for New York to clinch:
- Win vs Boston
- OTL vs Boston AND Jupiter loss to Atlanta
- Loss vs Boston AND Jupiter loss or OTL vs Atlanta AND more holes won than Boston and Jupiter
Jupiter remains in fifth place and failed to capitalize on a chance to move up Tuesday after losing to The Bay. The easiest path for Jupiter is beating Atlanta and New York losing to Boston. Here are all the potential paths for Jupiter:
- Win vs Atlanta AND New York loss to Boston
- OTL vs Atlanta AND New York loss vs Boston AND more holes won than New York
Boston, bottom of the standings, still has a path with just one point on the season but it is not in their hands. They need a lot of outside help, as well as a win over New York in their final match. Here are Boston's possible paths to the playoffs:
- Win vs New York AND Jupiter loss vs Atlanta AND more holes won than New York
- Win vs New York AND Jupiter OTL vs Atlanta AND more holes won than New York or Jupiter
Jupiter plays Atlanta in its final match, New York faces Boston, and LA takes on The Bay.
