Overview
- Woods returned in Match 2 on Tuesday, with Jupiter down 1–0, to try to extend the best‑of‑three TGL Finals against Los Angeles Golf Club.
- He replaced Kevin Kisner and teamed with Max Homa and Tom Kim against Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood and Sahith Theegala.
- The 50‑year‑old had not competed since the 2024 Open Championship after rupturing his Achilles in March 2025 and undergoing an L4–L5 disc replacement in October 2025.
- Woods said "I'm back" in the league’s announcement and told ESPN he would be rusty, and he has not committed to the Masters as analysts note TGL’s simulator format does not test four rounds of walking at Augusta.
- TGL is an arena‑based league co‑founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy that blends simulators with real short‑game shots, and this finals night carries a potential $9 million SoFi Cup payout if Jupiter can force a deciding match.
