Tuesday night delivers a full slate of betting opportunities across both the NBA and college basketball, and BetMGM provides bettors with multiple ways to get involved. By registering with the BetMGM bonus code TOP1500, new users can take advantage of a first bet offer worth up to $1,500 on Tuesday’s basketball action. If that opening wager does not win, BetMGM returns the stake as a bonus bet that can be used on additional markets throughout the week.




Bettors located in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia may also qualify for an alternate welcome deal. With this option, a $10 wager placed on any eligible Tuesday NBA or college basketball market earns a $150 bonus if the bet wins.

Secure $1,500 First Bet on Hoops Tuesday with BetMGM bonus code TOP1500

The BetMGM bonus code offer is well suited for bettors looking to take advantage of Tuesday’s high-flying basketball schedule. After placing a first wager of up to $1,500 on an eligible NBA or college basketball market, any losing stake is returned as a bonus bet, keeping bettors active beyond just the initial result. 

Tuesday’s NBA slate features several headline matchups, including the Indiana Pacers visiting the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden and the San Antonio Spurs traveling to Los Angeles to face the Lakers. The latter matchup places Victor Wembanyama opposite a Lakers roster led by LeBron James, creating a game rich with player props, new spreads, and team totals. Even with Luka Doncic nursing a hamstring injury, this is one of the best matchups in the West. 

On the college basketball side, the schedule includes No. 11 North Carolina traveling to Miami after a dramatic rivalry win over Duke. Additional ranked matchups such as No. 13 Purdue vs. No. 7 Nebraska and No. 4 Duke hosting Pittsburgh offer a wide range of betting markets, from traditional moneylines and spreads to player prop odds. 

For example, a bettor could place a first wager on Duke of something like $50 to win on the road against Pittsburgh. If the Blue Devils secure the victory, the wager pays out normally. If the bet does not hit, BetMGM issues the $50 stake back as a bonus bet that can be used on another eligible market this week. 

Tuesday No Sweat, Odds Boost Tokens Available

Once the welcome bonus is claimed, BetMGM offers several ongoing promotions that can be applied to Tuesday’s basketball slate. Some of the best tonight include: 

  • No Sweat Token: Bettors can use this on any sport to get their stake back in a bonus if it settles as a loss 
  • NBA Odds Boost Token: This offer is available to raise any NBA wager’s odds Tuesday night
  • College Basketball Odds Boost Token: Fans can level up their CBB wager Tuesday with this deal

Ryan Fox wins first career major at 2026 Open Championship

CNN
(CNN) — Ryan Fox took home the Claret Jug after draining a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale on Sunday.The 39-year-old Fox beat out American Cameron Young to win his first career major title, becoming only the third New Zealander to win a men’s major golf championship.Fox came into the final hole tied with Young, after the 29-year-old finished the round at 6-under 64 a few hours before.The Kiwi powered his drive into the middle of the fairway and then set up the biggest putt of his golf career so far with an approach shot that landed about 12 feet from the pin.As the putt fell into the hole, the crowd in Southport, England, gave Fox a rousing ovation as he raised both arms in the air to celebrate the achievement.The putt capped off four birdies in the last six holes for Fox.Fox was at a loss for words while speaking to the NBC Sports broadcast after the win.“I don’t really know what to think at the moment. I’ve got a lot of people to thank. First of all, my family. My wife and kids are in Florida at the moment. I spoke to my kids last night and they said, bring back a trophy. I think that’s a pretty cool one to bring back for them,” Fox said. “My family back in New Zealand and all my supporters back there. I know it’s been a long night for them, but I’m glad it was worthwhile.”Fox finished with a 2-under 68 after trailing Sam Burns, who held a two-stroke lead coming into Sunday’s final round.Fox also becomes the third-oldest major winner in the last 10 years, trailing only Phil Mickelson at the 2021 PGA Championship and Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters.“Just an unbelievable week. The golf course was fantastic. The English weather was fantastic. You guys out there were fantastic. The support was amazing. This is pretty cool. I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone, but thank you very much,” Fox added.It is another disappointment for Young, who is still looking for his first career major title despite winning The Players earlier this year. Young finished one shot back of the win at the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews and held the lead heading into the final round at the Masters back in April.It is also another let down for Burns, another golfer looking for his maiden major win.The Louisiana State University alum came into the round ahead by two strokes but quickly lost it and went birdie-free for the final 12 holes.“(Fox) is a well-earned champion and hats off to him,” Burns said. “He did what he needed to do down the stretch and ultimately just came up a couple short today.”Defending champion Scottie Scheffler stayed within striking range throughout the round, but wound up with a 3-under 67 on Sunday to finish tied for fourth with Tommy Fleetwood.After a drama-filled tournament, Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for 14th while Rory McIlroy, who has been critical of the LIV Golfer all tournament long, ended tied for 40th.Fox’s journey to first major winFox’s road to his first career major title wasn’t the easiest. It came with many bumps and U-turns.While speaking to CNN’s Don Riddell ahead of the Desert Classic in Dubai in early 2025, Fox opened up about his mental health issues, including being an older rookie after spending years on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour of Australia.“I think being a rookie at 37 years old on the PGA Tour was, I probably wasn’t quite prepared for what that was again,” Fox told CNN.“I knew all the golf courses, knew how to travel work, knew where to stay, and everything was new on the PGA Tour, and that was probably a shock to the system more than anything.”Fox comes from a lineage of athletes within his family tree, including his father, Grant Fox, who was a main kicker for the New Zealand national rugby team and his grandfather, Merv Wallace, a former New Zealand cricketer who later coached the national team.Fox spoke out on the “pressure” a golfer faces, mentioning the 2024 death of former PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray, whose parents later confirmed it was death by suicide.“It can be a stressful life. It’s all performance-based. There’s a lot of pressure on – Looking after your mental health is really, really important, and having people to talk to and all of that is part of that,” Fox said.“It’s a shame it got to that point with Grayson that, you know, we’ve had to have those, those pretty tough conversations now, but it will help – hopefully it helps someone else in a similar situation going forward because we certainly don’t want to see it again.”CNN’s Kyle Tatelbaum and Don Riddell contributed to this reporting This write has been updated with additional reporting The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
