Los Angeles GC Defeat Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links GC In Commanding TGL Victory

WELCOME TO WEEK 2 OF TGL

Good evening everyone and welcome to Golf Monthly’s coverage of the second match of TGL, where Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links GC faces off against Los Angeles GC, with the action getting underway at 7pm local time (ET).

It’s the first appearance for 15-time Major winner, Woods, who co-founded the League alongside Rory McIlroy and Mike McCarley, with it set to be a bumper night of action after last week’s maiden venture.

The action gets underway in just under an hour and, currently, the players are arriving on site. Donned in his Sun Day Red apparel, Woods looks in the zone as all six players are in the building at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach, Florida.

HOW DOES THE FORMAT WORK?

Before getting underway, it’s worth noting how the evening will work. Unlike normal tournaments, which provide 18 holes of action, the TGL is designed to be a fast-paced environment and, consequently, there are 15 holes played in the matches.

The first nine holes consist of ‘Triples,’ which is a 3 vs 3 alternate shot format, whilst the final six holes are ‘Singles’, which consist of a rotating head-to-head system.

The Triples session will see the three selected players on each team alternate who tees off on each hole, with players rotating the shots thereafter. Singles work by one player from a team taking on one opponent until the hole is completed. From there, the following player in the team takes on the next from the opposing team, before the third hole features the remaining players from each team. Overall, each player faces the same opponent over two holes until the six Singles holes are completed.

WHO IS PLAYING TONIGHT?

Given it’s a three-man event, Jupiter Links GC features Tiger Woods, Kevin Kisner and Max Homa, whilst Los Angeles GC are fielding Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala and Collin Morikawa. The players who are left out are Tom Kim from Jupiter Links GC and Tommy Fleetwood from Los Angeles GC.

WHO ARE THE FAVORITES?

Despite featuring Woods, Kevin Kisner and Max Homa, Los Angeles GC are favorites amongst bookmakers, as Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala tee it up for the LA outlet.
