When will Tiger Woods play PGA Tour golf again? 'My heart is not into practicing right now'
When will Tiger Woods play PGA Tour golf again? 'My heart is not into practicing right now' Show Caption Hide Caption Jackson Koivun on whether he's inspired by what Luke Clanton has done Auburn sophomore Jackson Koivun talks about whether Luke Clanton earning his PGA Tour card has inspired Koivun in his pursuit of one. Tiger Woods' TGL team, Jupiter Links, finished the season with a 1-4 record and will not compete in the playoffs. Despite his team's struggles, Woods expressed pride in the inaugural TGL season and the excitement it generated. PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Tiger Woods hit his last shot of the inaugural TGL season at 8:50 p.m. ET Tuesday night at SoFi Center, missing a par putt to end another lopsided loss. Woods' Jupiter Links Golf Club had been eliminated from the postseason Monday night when the New York Golf Club beat Boston Common, which also ended Rory McIlroy's Boston Common's season as well. The question all sports fans want an answer to now, after Atlanta Drive's 9-1 victory over Jupiter Links is, 'When will Tiger play again?' The Players next week? The Masters four weeks after that? Very likely no on the first one. Does anyone think he'll miss a trip down Magnolia Lane? 'This is the third time I've touched a club since my mom passed, so I haven't really gotten into it,' Woods said. 'My heart is not into practicing right now. I have so many other things to do with the Tour. Once I start probably feeling a little bit better and start getting into it, I'll start looking at the schedule.' TGL inaugural season struggle for Tiger Woods Woods' seven-week foray into the tech-infused league didn't go as planned. First and foremost, Woods' mother, Kultida, died on Feb. 4, a week after attending one of his TGL matches. Jupiter Links, which he owns a share of, won only once in five tries, and that was an overtime win against Boston Common. They only won a league-low 10 holes (out of 90). Woods also suffered through 'one of the most embarrassing mistakes of my career' when, thinking he had 99 yards to the green, he actually had 199. The good news is his wedge traveled 100 yards, while his teammates and competitors fell to the ground with belly laughs as Woods realized his gaffe. Losing stinks, but Woods saw the big picture when asked to assess TGL's first season. 'I'm proud of my teammates,' he said, 'I'm proud of what we've built here, the excitement we've been able to bring to Jupiter and, more importantly, the game of golf.' As for his team winning just once: 'I had a blast. We didn't hit a lot of great shots, but we had fun. I think we led the league in mistakes.' The Woods' family, however, continues to win titles. Daughter Sam helped lead Benjamin to a state soccer championship last weekend, Tiger proudly cheering her on from the stands; and son Charlie was part of Benjamin's state-winning golf team last fall. 'It was so special to watch her play,' Woods said. 'There was a core of six or seven girls who have played together since they were 6. I'm just proud of her and the hard work she's put into it to win a state title. The team deserved it.' This country's conspiracy theorists can't point their fingers at TGL's inaugural season, the way they overreact when quarterback Pat Mahomes gets touched to draw a roughing-the-quarterback penalty or LeBron James takes four steps on his way to the basket. If any league wanted its stars to do well, it was TGL. But now that co-founders Woods and McIlroy don't have to worry about when to throw the hammer, it's left to squads from New York, Atlanta (4-1), San Francisco and Los Angeles to decide which team's color will adorn the SoFi Cup. The folks at ESPN can't be smiling. Woods eventually will turn his attention to returning to outdoors competition to break his tie with Sam Snead for most PGA Tour wins (82) and, perhaps, earn his 16th major title. It was more, or less, of the same Tuesday night for Jupiter Links (1-4-0), which fell behind 2-0 after three holes. Jupiter never led and finished fifth in the six-team standings with two points. Not what we're used to seeing from Tiger. But at least we saw him.

New York's social media team takes shot at Rory McIlroy after short missed putt during TGL match
New York's social media team takes shot at Rory McIlroy after short missed putt during TGL match No one is safe, not even at TGL. During Monday's double-header of TGL action, Rory McIlroy's Boston Common was taking on New York Golf Club with a spot in the playoffs on the line. A win for New York secured its spot in the playoffs. Boston needed a win and some help to make the four-team bracket. Early on, McIlroy had a short par putt to keep the score tied, and he missed it. New York's social media team was quick with its response, posting a video burying McIlroy's blunder on the greens and comparing it to the U.S. Open at Pinehurst last year. "Didn't know we were playing Pinehurst..." the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said. Ouchtown, population McIlroy. For those who can remember, McIlroy missed two putts inside of 4 feet last year on Nos. 16 and 18, making bogey on both holes to lose by one shot against Bryson DeChambeau in the U.S. Open. More: TGL playoffs won't have Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy. See who advanced to four-team bracket And in the New York-Boston rivalry, nothing is off limits. New York got ultimate bragging rights, beating Boston Common 10-6 to secure the final playoff spot and knock out Boston Common and Jupiter Links, Tiger Woods' team, which plays Tuesday night.

6 best moments from Presidents Day triple-header of TGL, the best day in league history
6 best moments from Presidents Day triple-header of TGL, the best day in league history Monday was a special one for TGL. The league had not one, not two, but three matches on Presidents Day, starting at 1 p.m. Eastern and continuing into the evening. The matches started with a thrilling overtime win, and somehow that momentum carried throughout the afternoon and evening. Every player who competed in Florida on Monday played in the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California last week, but there was no lack of energy from the players, most of whom traveled cross-country overnight, and it resulted in a bunch of great moments. TGL is at its best when the players are bought in, shot making is high and the crowd is vibrant in SoFi Center. All three matches on Monday had all three ingredients, and the recipe was stellar viewing and a big boost to what TGL can be each night in the future. Monday was the best day in TGL's history, and there's another match to come Tuesday featuring one of the league's founders: Tiger Woods. Here's a look at six of the best moments from TGL's Presidents Day triple-header. Wyndham Clark makes eagle to beat Boston Common The final match of the night ended with a splash, as Boston Common called a timeout to try to ice The Bay Golf Club's Wyndham Clark on his winning eagle putt. Instead, it gave him time to read the putt a bit longer, and he nestled in, made his stroke and poured it in to give The Bay its second win of the day. Ludvig Aberg, Lucas Glover match darts in singles Aberg, who won the Genesis Invitational on Sunday, showed no signs of rust or exhaustion during his match. Come singles, when he was playing Atlanta Drive's Lucas Glover, the duo traded punches on the par-3 14th hole. First, Aberg hit a great shot that spun within a couple feet of the hole, then Glover followed suit and hit a shot to a couple feet. Overtime between Los Angeles, Atlanta Drive The second overtime in TGL history was thrilling. It came down to the last shot, but Los Angeles Golf Club's Tommy Fleetwood had the best shot of the extra period. The entire overtime is below. Tommy Fleetwood ace on par-4 (in warmups) We have our first (unofficial) TGL ace, courtesy of Tommy Fleetwood. And it came on a par 4 when he was warming up Monday morning. Those positive feelings carried over to the match, too, when he hit a brilliant shot in competition into the drivable par-4. The shotmaking on Monday was brilliant all day. Justin Thomas chip-in to force OT Justin Thomas had an eagle chip on the 15th hole of Atlanta Drive's first match against Los Angeles that he left short of the green. That left him with a birdie chip to win the hole and force overtime. Well, take a guess what happened. He even had a chance to force overtime again in Atlanta Drive's second match, and he gave the putt a heckuva run. Keegan Bradley's chip-in in singles Short game has been the area where players have struggled with the most off the turf in SoFI Center, but Boston Common's Keegan Bradley didn't struggle with this long pitch shot.

There will be no cross-country flights from the TGL to the PGA Tour this week. Tuesday's TGL matchup between Boston Common and Los Angeles Golf Club features six goflers not on the tee sheet in the Arizona desert at the WM Phoenix Open. Rory McIlroy, fresh off his 27th PGA Tour win at Pebble Beach, has Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott in his lineup for the second match in a row. The LA squad this week is playing Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose. TGL plays its weekly matches at the SoFi Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. A week ago, all six of this week's TGL contestants were at the PGA Tour's signature event the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. One of the perks of the TGL is private flights to and from, but there won't be any of those jets heading to Scottsdale this week.
