Tiger Woods Set for TGL Return After Team's Finals Opener Loss

Tiger Woods is poised to make his return to action for the TGL season finale on Tuesday, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Woods has been in a non-playing capacity for Jupiter Links GC throughout the 2026 season, following his last PGA Tour appearance in July 2024 and subsequent back surgery in October. Despite earlier hopes of participating in the TGL season, Woods missed the semi-final victory over Boston Common and the first match of the SoFi Cup Finals. Los Angeles Golf Club secured a 6-5 win, taking the lead in the best-of-three series, but Woods will now replace Kevin Kisner in the Jupiter Links lineup for the season finale at the SoFi Center. Woods, along with Max Homa and Tom Kim, will face off against Los Angeles' Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, and Sahith Theegala, with Jupiter Links needing a win to level the series. A victory for Los Angeles would give them a decisive 2-0 lead, while a Jupiter Links win would lead to a third match. Woods reflected on the previous loss, stating that the team had opportunities but ultimately fell short. The match saw several key moments, including Kisner's missed birdie putt and Theegala's penalty area shot. As the series continues, Woods' return is anticipated to bring a new dynamic to the competition.
