Tiger Woods, TGL unveils Jupiter Links Golf Club 4-man roster


Tiger Woods has announced who will join him on his TGL team, Jupiter Links Golf Club.

Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner—all fan-favorites—will accompany Woods in January 2025 for the inaugural TGL season.

“Now that we have finalized our roster with a team of world-class golfers, I am even more confident that this group will proudly represent the Jupiter area and connect with our fans for years to come,” Woods said in a statement.

Fresh off a solid performance at The Masters, Homa is a six-time PGA Tour winner, which includes a victory at the 2021 Genesis Invitational—the event Woods hosts annually.

Homa and Woods recently played alongside each other during the first two rounds at Augusta National.

Homa was also the lone bright spot for the Americans at last year’s Ryder Cup, posting a 3-1-1 record.

His infectious personality and witty humor will surely delight TGL fans, too.

“Following Tiger’s career is one of the main reasons I became an avid golfer,” Homa said.

“It’s really exciting to call Tiger, Tom, and Kevin teammates. Thanks to TGL, I’ll be able to play with some of the best golfers in the world and bring this unique and exciting format to golf while also finding ways to connect with one of the best golf markets in the country in South Florida.”

Kim, meanwhile, is the youngest player on the roster at 21 years old. A rising star on tour, Kim, who hails from South Korea, already has three career victories to his name. He also won a pair of matches at the 2022 Presidents Cup for the International Team.

“I grew up inspired by Tiger Woods, but Max and Kevin are two of my favorite guys out on Tour,” Kim said.

“It will be incredible to join these guys as teammates. To talk strategy with Tiger in a true competition is something I never dreamed could happen.”

Rounding out the team will be a seasoned veteran and part-time broadcaster.

Kisner has four PGA Tour victories and has competed in the Presidents Cup for the United States on two occasions, in 2017 and 2022. He began broadcasting tournaments for NBC Sports this year, and his work has been applauded far and wide. His witty sense of humor and knowledgeable insight have been welcomed by fans and will surely be embraced on TGL.

“Having the opportunity to compete against and alongside the GOAT has been one of the things I’ll remember most at the end of my career,” the 40-year-old Kisner said.

“While I know we will have a lot of fun as a team with me, Tiger, Max, and Tom, I also know when Tiger’s competitive fire kicks in, we are going to be ready to play and win.”
