Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) took down Jupiter Links GC in Match 2 of the TGL finals Tuesday night with a 9-2 win, securing the SoFi Cup making LAGC the 2026 TGL Season Champions. 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.
With the win, LAGC takes the $9 million team prize, and is comprised of Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala, and Tommy Fleetwood. Runner up Jupiter Links GC takes home $4.5 million, and is comprised of Tiger Woods, Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner. Rose, Theegala, and Fleetwood were on the playing roster for LAGC for Tuesday night’s matchup, whereas Jupiter Links GC were fielding Woods, Homa, and Kim.
Much speculation has arisen over whether Woods will play the 2026 Masters Tournament. While he indicated playing TGL was a step in his recovery process, he did not give any indications on whether he intended to be in the field at the Masters, which is to be held April 9-12.
Woods’ comments Tuesday night were limited to the match at hand. "It felt great to be back with these guys," Woods said. "Frustrated we didn't get it done. We had opportunities. It feels good to be back. I'd like to be back in better circumstances."
