LAGC went on a remarkable 9-0 run, capped off with three straight eagles on the final three holes to come back from a 0-2 deficit to secure the victory.

LAGC also won Match 1 against Jupiter Links GC in a 6-5 victory Monday night. The victory makes LAGC only the second TGL Season Champions, with Atlanta Drive GC winning the inaugural TGL Championship against New York GC in 2025. Making a surprise return to the SoFi Center on Tuesday night was Tiger Woods, competing for the first time in more than a year.

Woods, who had been recovering from back surgery in October, decided to play in Match 2 after LAGC won Match 1 Monday evening. Despite the lengthy absence, Woods’ play was for the most part sharp, hitting key shots to help Jupiter Links take an early 2-0 lead in the match. Woods’ return however was not enough to elevate Jupiter Links GC to victory.

LAGC tied things up at 2-2 on the sixth hole. A missed short three-foot putt on the seventh hole by Woods gave LAGC a 3-2 lead, and LAGC never looked back from there. LAGC would go one to make three straight eagles, ending the match with a 9-2 LAGC victory.
