Deadspin | Report: Cognizant Classic hit by PGA cutbacks Todd Fleming, Executive Director of Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches with the 17th green in the distance on February 9, 2026, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The tournament director of the Cognizant Classic of the Palm Beaches has been laid off as part of a staff reduction by the PGA Tour, Sports Illustrated reported Friday. On Thursday, the PGA Tour laid off 56 employees, per the report. Todd Fleming, the Cognizant director, was among them. The Cognizant is expected to go on in 2027 with an interim director in charge. The tournament has been operated by PGA Tour Events for the past three years. That group also is in charge of events that include the Players Championship and the Tour Championship and uses PGA Tour employees. Most tournaments on the PGA Tour are operated and owned by local groups that work on behalf of area non-profits. The Cognizant first was held in 1972 and known then as the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic. It later was called the Honda Classic and then the Cognizant. Since 2007, PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens has been the home course of the event. It was played this season from Feb. 26-March 1 and won by Nico Echavarria, who earned just over .728 million. Earlier this week, the PGA Tour said it is dropping the January season-opening events in Hawaii. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Report #Cognizant #Classic #hit #PGA #cutbacks

The Blues beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 in overtime. Mandatory Credit: Tom Szczerbowski-Imagn Images Alexander Steen will take the baton from Doug Armstrong and officially become the St. Louis Blues’ general manager on July 1, the team confirmed Friday. Armstrong then will serve as the team’s president of hockey operations through 2029, following a transition plan originally announced in June 2024. “I think Alex is hungry. He’s ready,” Armstrong said. “A new leadership voice at that level is going to be great for the franchise.” Armstrong, 61, has been with the organization since 2008 and served as the GM since 2010. He was named the NHL general manager of the year in 2012, guided the Blues to the postseason on 11 occasions and led St. Louis to its first Stanley Cup title in 2019. Steen, 42, was a member of the Blues’ Cup-winning team. The forward retired in 2020 after recording 622 points (245 goals, 377 assists) in 1,018 career games with the Maple Leafs and Blues after being selected by Toronto with the 24th overall pick of the 2002 NHL Draft.

There are no more trades, there are no more waivers (this season),” Armstrong said. “Now Alex has to put his stamp on the team in exit meetings and (set) his expectations.” In addition to helping to prepare for the June 26-27 draft, looming decisions for Steen include contracts for restricted free agents Dylan Holloway, Jonatan Berggren and Matthew Kessel, and unrestricted free agents Oskar Sundqvist and Justin Holl. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Alexander #Steen #reins #Blues #JulyJan 16, 2018; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; St. Louis Blues left wing Alexander Steen (20) lines up prior to a face-off against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre.

Indian Super League clubs will continue to play in the Asian Champions League 2 next season, despite Asian Football Confederation (AFC) announcing increased berths for the Champions League Elite for other countries.

This season’s ISL winner will get a direct group stage spot in ACL 2, while the Super Cup winner, FC Goa, will earn a playoff spot.

In the Elite competition, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Japan are due to see their slots increased to five in the competition’s expanded league phase.

The AFC announced that its Professional Football Committee had adopted changes to the competition that will see the 2026/27 ‌edition of the club championship feature 32 teams, up from 24 at present, when it kicks ‌off in September.

Japan currently has three automatic berths ‌in ⁠the league phase while Saudi Arabia has ⁠two plus a playoff place.

Organisers have increased Saudi Arabia’s quota of guaranteed berths to three – in line with the Japanese – while granting the ​two countries an additional ‌two playoff slots.

Japanese and Saudi Arabian clubs have dominated the competition since the adoption of the new format in 2024 with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli due ‌to meet J-League outfit Machida Zelvia in the ​latest final on Saturday.

The expansion will see the league phase in both west and east ⁠Asia grow from 12 to 16 teams on each side of the confederation with the first eight finishers progressing ‌to the knockout rounds next season.

The United Arab Emirates has also seen its allowance increase to three automatic slots with one playoff place available while Qatar has been granted three confirmed berths.

South Korea has been given one additional playoff spot to its existing three confirmed places ‌while Thailand has seen its quota increase from one to three ​guaranteed league phase slots.

China retains its two automatic spots but loses a playoff place after ⁠all three of its participants failed to advance to the ⁠knockout rounds of the current edition.

Australia has had a playoff slot added to its one confirmed ‌place in the league phase while Jordan and Vietnam have both been given playoff places.

The decisions are subject ​to ratification by the AFC’s executive committee.
