The GIST: Front office shake ups aside, all is going as expected in the WNBA, with two higher seeded-squads clinching their semis spots last night and the remaining two berths on the line tonight — pass the milk, it’s going to be spicy.

No. 1 NY Liberty launch comeback against No. 8 Atlanta Dream, sweep series: Atlanta’s Allisha Gray made things interesting, but NY’s Sabrina Ionescu (36 points, a playoff career high) and double-double queen Jonquel Jones entertained the star-studded Brooklyn crowd, leading NY’s second-half surge in a 91–82 win over the Dream.

Two-time defending champ No. 4 Las Vegas Aces clinch sixth straight semis appearance: Despite a strong night from the No. 5 Seattle Storm’s Nneka Ogwumike (pronounced NEH-kah Oh-GWOO-mih-kay), the Aces’ Kelsey Plum netted 29 points and superstar A’ja Wilson did gilded M’VP things, dropping a double-double of her own, in Vegas’ 83–76 win.

• That sets up an Aces vs. Liberty semi beginning this weekend, a rematch of last year’s super-squad WNBA Finals, which Vegas won in four games. Clash of the titans, reloading.

No. 3 Connecticut Sun one win away from knocking out No. 6 Indiana Fever: Fever star Caitlin Clark’s rookie season may end the same way it started: with a loss to the Sun at Mohegan Sun Arena, so long as Alyssa Thomas’ experienced Connecticut squad can keep the dynamic rook at bay again tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET. One thing’s for sure: millions will be watching.

No. 7 Phoenix Mercury (down 1-0) fighting to extend Diana Taurasi’s career: Though the GOAT’s remained tight-lipped about her possible retirement, tonight’s 9:30 p.m. ET Game 2 vs. Napheesa Collier and the No. 2 Minnesota Lynx could be the last time the 20-year vet takes the floor. Pop that corn and pass the tissues.

The GIST: Fresh off Team USA’s Solheim Cup victory earlier this month, the best in the men’s game take over Canada’s beautiful The Royal Montreal Golf Club for the 15th edition of the Presidents Cup, a biennial team event pitting 12 Americans against 12 non-European golfers. Here’s what to know before the fun begins tomorrow — it’s ball or nothing.

How it works: Unlike the three-day Ryder Cup (featuring the men’s Team USA vs. Team Europe), this four-day match play event includes four-ball (best ball) and foursome (alternate shot) competitions through the first three days, culminating with 12 singles matches on Sunday.

• The team that earns the most points wins the Cup, an honor Team USA has had all but two times, boasting a nine-tourney win streak that dates back to 2005. Talk about dominant.

Golfers to know: Captained by 2003 U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk, this American squad is stacked with five of the top 10 golfers in the world: No. 1 Scottie “year of his life” Scheffler, No. 2 Xander Schauffele, No. 4 Collin Morikawa, No. 6 Wyndham Clark, and No. 9 Patrick Cantlay.

• That strong lineup seems destined for a win, but all eyes are on seven-time 2024 PGA Tour winner Scheffler to see if he can break out of his team event slump and lead the red, white, and blue to a 10th straight victory.

Zooming out: Given the success of the Solheim Cup, it begs the question why there isn’t a women’s event equivalent to the Presidents. Seven of the top 10 women’s players in the world hail from countries other than the U.S., including New Zealand’s 2024 Olympic gold medalist and World No. 3 Lydia Ko.

• Creating another opportunity for golf's best to shine in a team event would be a significant move in growing the game. Now that would be tee-riffic.
