And, to infinity and beyond! It’s not Buzz Lightyear; it’s Tesla’s Elon Musk touting his latest plans for Mars. (Doesn’t Musk have more pressing concerns back home?) Sunday was a blowout for golf. Can Tiger’s return get the wayward sport back on track? Catch The Final Round at 3:55 ET p.m. with Jen Rogers and Yahoo Finance markets correspondent Myles Udland and Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer.

Winners and losers

Stocks in the red include Boeing as investors weigh the impact of tariffs on steel and aluminum on the planemaker; Voyager Therapeutics as Wedbush downgraded shares to ‘neutral’ with a $29 price target; and Netflix, with shares under pressure as short-seller Citron Research says shares could fall to $300, citing valuation and an unsustainable long-term content spend. Separately, at South By Southwest today Apple’s Eddy Cue suggested Apple wasn’t interested in acquiring Netflix.
