LA Golf Club Claims SoFi Cup Title as Tiger Woods' TGL Comeback Ends in Defeat

Tiger Woods' highly anticipated return to the TGL ended in disappointment as Los Angeles Golf Club dominated Jupiter Links GC 9-2, securing the season-long SoFi Cup title with a match to spare. Woods, who had been out of action for over a year due to injuries, joined forces with Tom Kim and Max Homa in a must-win game at the SoFi Center. However, their efforts were not enough to overcome an unchanged Los Angeles lineup featuring Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, and Sahith Theegala. After initially trailing 2-0, Los Angeles staged a remarkable comeback, winning five consecutive holes to claim victory and the $9million team first prize. Woods acknowledged that his team was outplayed, stating, 'We got our a** kicked in the end.' Despite the setback, Woods expressed his desire to continue playing, hinting at a possible return to the PGA Tour, with the Masters being a potential target. Woods' last competitive round on the PGA Tour was at The Open in July 2024, and he has only completed a full 72-hole tournament four times in the past five years due to recurring injuries.
