La Liga Finales, Tiger Back on Tour, FA Cup Semis, MLS, NWSL and More to Watch

Spain's biggest rivals take La Liga down to the wire, with just one point separating Real Madrid and Barcelona ahead of the last week of the season. In the U.S., Tiger Woods returns to the golf course for the first time since February at a tournament he's won five times. And if you want some live high-stakes basketball before the NBA returns, The Basketball Tournament final is Monday, with the winner getting $1 million.

What's On

La Liga ready to crown a champion

Real Madrid and Barcelona play their last matches of the domestic season this week, with a one-point gap separating the rivals. Madrid can extend its lead to four points with a win Monday and then clinch the league title with a win Thursday. Barcelona will need to win both of its remaining matches and get some help, with Real also holding the tiebreaker advantage in case the clubs finish even on points.

Barcelona has won the league four of the last five seasons, with Real Madrid's only triumph during that span in 2017.

Tiger Time: Woods returns to PGA Tour at The Memorial

Golf's leading man will play his first competitive event since February when he tees off Thursday at Muirfield in Ohio. We last saw him play in Capital One's The Match in May, when he quietly played pretty great. It's a logical return for Woods, not only since he's won the tournament five times in his career but also because the first major back on the revised tour calendar—the PGA Championship—is in three weeks. A sixth win at Memorial would be Tiger's 83rd overall, which would break his tie with Sam Snead for the most in tour history.

Woods's return is a bittersweet moment for the Memorial, given that it was originally scheduled to be the tour's first event with the reintroduction of fans on the course. But surges in coronavirus cases in Ohio and around the country forced the PGA Tour to scrap that plan.

Tiger joins an impressive field that includes defending champion Patrick Cantlay, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson. Check out the pairings and full field here.

Rounds 1 and 2 on Golf Channel 2:30-6:30 p.m.
Round 3 on Golf Channel 1:30-3:45 p.m. and CBS 4-7 p.m.

FA Cup Semifinals

Both matches on ESPN+
Arsenal vs. Manchester City, Saturday 2:45 p.m.
Manchester United vs. Chelsea, Sunday 1 p.m.

Four of the biggest clubs in England can take one step closer to the FA Cup trophy this weekend. Each of the teams has been in pretty solid form since the restart, and it's been Chelsea's Christian Pulisic who has really broken out into a higher level of play. The American standout has scored three goals and provided a dynamic presence on the pitch for the Blues. On B/R Live, you can watch live pre- and post-match coverage on MUTV and a match replay on Arsenal TV.

The Basketball Tournament Final, Tuesday 7 p.m. on ESPN

With a $1 million prize up for grabs, this year's abbreviated version of The Basketball Tournament crowns a champion Tuesday. Down from 64 to 24 teams and played in just 11 days, the tournament has still provided entertaining basketball after a spring and summer without March Madness and NBA playoffs. Golden Eagles and Sideline Cancer will face off in the final from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Former Indiana standout Maurice Creek hit this shot to send Sideline Cancer to the championship.

Soccer in the States

MLS is Back Tournament

Much of the excitement surrounding the return of MLS last week was tempered by the tournament withdrawals of two clubs—FC Dallas and Nashville SC—after several players on each team tested positive for the coronavirus. The event's first night did provide an exceptional moment of power and unity, when players from every team kneeled and raised fists in silence to support Black Lives Matter and the fight for social justice and equality.

Below are the top matchups for each day this week. Full schedule and group standings

LA Galaxy vs. Portland Timbers, Monday 10:30 p.m. on FS1
