Tiger Woods made his TMRW Golf League debut on Tuesday as his team, Jupiter Links Golf Club, took on Los Angeles Golf Club.
TGL is a combination of an indoor golf simulation (for drives and approaches) on a monstrous screen with traditional golf for the short games within the SoFi Center facility. Woods and Rory McIlroy co-found the league, which began play this year.
In short, teams of three play over 15 holes. The first nine holes are “triples,” in which the teams of three play in an alternate shot format. The final six holes are “singles,” in which each team member takes two holes apiece. Each hole won is worth a point, but teams can throw a “hammer” to add another point to a hole’s value.
On this day, Woods’ team lost 12-1 to Los Angeles. Jupiter consisted of Woods, Kevin Kisner and Max Homa, and they fell to Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala.
Still, SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, was rocking on Tuesday. Fans loved watching Woods, who was introduced to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” naturally.
Woods got everyone going with a great tee shot.
It didn’t go great from there. Woods had a few tough shots, including one in the water that got a laugh from his son, Charlie Woods. Although it almost seemed like the simulator was a touch off during the day, especially given how much Woods missed this approach.
Speaking of Charlie Woods, Kisner tried to recruit him to join the team.
And speaking of Kisner, he skulled a shot so hard out of the bunker that Woods doubled over in laughter.

Was it the best performance for Jupiter? No. But did everyone have a good time. It sure seemed like it.
Overall, TGL was a fun event where everyone enjoyed themselves, which one can surmise is one of the goals of this unique enterprise. Of course, Woods is the main draw, and many fans and analysts liked watching him in this event.

Pre-Match at TGL Charlie Woods friend trying out Tiger’s putter. <br><br>It’s incredible how Tiger has transcended generations. <br><br>The younger fans in this audience are all 100% rooting for him, even though most weren’t born for the 1997 Masters. <a href=”https://t.co/XN2NW17R6x”>pic.twitter.com/XN2NW17R6x</a>

Tiger and Kis were – what’s the technical term?<br><br>…excruciatingly brutal.<br><br>But they had a blast. Kisner asked Charlie Woods if he wanted to sub in for his dad at one point.<br><br>It’s a great format. They did a great job.<br><br>I was into it even as “Team LA” absolutely boatraced Jupiter. <a href=”https://t.co/82VxSNydoN”>https://t.co/82VxSNydoN</a>
