Tiger Woods is set to return to competitive golf at the TGL Finals on Tuesday evening, aiming to rally his Jupiter Links GC squad after falling behind 1-0. This marks his first professional competition since 2024, sparking speculation that he may be eyeing a comeback at the Masters in a few weeks, a tournament he has won five times, most recently in 2019. Adding fuel to the rumors, when asked last month if he had ruled out a Masters return, the 50-year-old simply replied, “No.”

Arkansas freshman Darius Acuff Jr. is stepping into rare territory off the court, becoming the first NCAA men’s player to secure a signature shoe deal with a major U.S. brand — Reebok — while still in college. The landmark partnership marks the brand’s return to signature basketball athletes for the first time since John Wall, signaling a new era for both Acuff’s rising profile and Reebok’s push to reestablish itself in the sport’s next generation.

Nintendo is reportedly scaling back Switch 2 production after demand — particularly in the U.S. — missed expectations, lowering output to 4 million units this quarter from a planned 6 million. The pullback follows a strong, record-setting launch in June that failed to sustain momentum, with sales cooling in key markets despite continued strength in Japan. Shares fell as much as 6.3% in Tokyo, erasing recent gains as the early hype around the console fades.

FedEx is rolling out a new same-day delivery service through a partnership with OneRail, giving retail partners the ability to offer two-hour and same-day shipping to customers across most of the U.S. The move intensifies the race for faster fulfillment, as Amazon and Walmart continue expanding rapid delivery options, with near-instant shipping quickly becoming the new standard for online shopping.

Estée Lauder is in talks to acquire Spain-based Puig in a deal that could create a beauty powerhouse valued at more than $40 billion. Both companies confirmed discussions are ongoing, with no agreement finalized.

Epic Games is cutting more than 1,000 jobs, citing a “downturn” in engagement with Fortnite that has strained its finances. CEO Tim Sweeney said the company has been spending more than it earns amid broader industry headwinds, including weaker consumer spending and rising competition for attention. Fortnite, once a cultural phenomenon drawing tens of millions of daily players, has seen engagement steadily decline since 2025.
