Both Atlanta and Los Angeles are back in the playoffs for a second consecutive year \u2013 Los Angeles earned the No. 1 overall seed but fell to New York in the semifinals last season, while Atlanta won all three of its postseason matches to take the SoFi Cup. Atlanta enjoyed another strong year and got some big contributions from newcomer Gotterup.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles will have plenty of confidence as well with the trio of Fleetwood, Rose and Collin Morikawa \u2013 three of the top five players in the world \u2013 having won their last two matches by a combined score of 13-6. That includes a 7-3 win over Atlanta in late February, in which LAGC got off to a 4-0 lead and never faltered. Theegala and Tony Finau have also been important contributors for LA this season.<\/p>\n
The second semifinal includes two teams making their playoff debuts. Jupiter clinched the final spot by beating The Bay Golf Club in spectacular fashion, erasing a 6-3 deficit with three holes to go during a 6-0 run that included an ace from Tom Kim to take the lead. <\/p>\n
Boston has been the class of the league all season with a 4-1-0 record after finishing last in 2025. The Ballfrogs lead the league in Triples holes won, average driver distance, greens in regulation and fairways hit.<\/p>\n
Both prior matchups between Jupiter and Boston have gone to overtime \u2013 Jupiter clipped Boston in extras during a Season 1 thriller, while the Ballfrogs prevailed in a 7-6 OT win over Jupiter in their final match of the 2026 regular season.<\/p>\n
