It wasn’t a major golf tournament, but the reactions from those involved made it seem like one.
The end of the 2026 TGL regular season came down to the wire on Tuesday night as Jupiter Links Golf Club took on The Bay Golf Club.
Trailing 6-3, the Jupiter Links team, comprised of Tiger Woods, Tom Kim, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner, needed something to happen to keep their season alive, in front of a frenzied crowd at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Enter Tom Kim, who calmly stepped to the tee on the penultimate hole of the match and struck his wedge, with his ball hitting the middle of the green before finding its way into the hole for an ace, setting off a crazed reaction from his teammates, especially Woods.
Kisner then finished off the 9-6 victory for Jupiter Links by winning the final hole.
‘Yeah, this was a blast,’ Woods said. ‘To be with these guys, this was our original team last year, so we bonded last year, and coming into this year, obviously adding Akshay, we’ve had a blast.
‘That’s the thing. We had a blast last year. We’ve having a blast this year. For each of these guys to earn the holes coming in and contribute as they did, it couldn’t be more special and better for these guys.’
It is not known if Woods will participate in the TGL semifinals against Boston Common Golf. The other semifinal will pit Atlanta Drive against Los Angeles Golf Club and will be broadcast on March 17 on ESPN.
