Fowler, New York look to snap winless drought against Woods, Jupiter Links

Tiger Woods returns to action as his Jupiter Links GC looks to move further up the TGL standings, while New York Golf Club hopes to break its winless drought.  

Both Jupiter Links and New York GC will bring out the same lineups as they had in their previous matches, as TGL looks to continue its thrilling momentum from Monday’s triple header that saw one match head into overtime and two matches decided on the final hole.

    Standings, schedule, results

NOTES:  

• Tiger Woods is back in action after withdrawing from The Genesis Invitational after the unfortunate passing of his mother.  

• Both Max Homa and Xander Schauffele are sitting for their second straight matches. Schauffele is nursing a rib injury that has sidelined him since early January, and he said he is targeting the Arnold Palmer Invitational as a potential return date.

• Jupiter Links defeated Boston Common Golf in the first-ever overtime match in TGL history to notch its first point of the young season.

• New York Golf Club is still looking for its first point. 

• The teams enter the week Nos. 1 (NYGC) and 2 (Jupiter Links) in driving accuracy, but they are ranked Nos. 4 (NYGC) and last (Jupiter Links) in greens in regulation.

• New York Golf Club is, essentially, in a must-win scenario with just a few weeks left before the beginning of the playoffs in mid-March after suffering back-to-back defeats to start the TGL season.

SCORING EXPLANATION VIA TGL 

Modern Match Play 

• Each hole has a value of 1 point, and the team with the fewest shots on a hole wins the point.

• Ties are worth 0 points and there are no carryovers

• The Hammer (NEW) – Each hole is worth 1 point unless a team throws the Hammer. Each team will begin the match with three Hammers. Playing the Hammer raises the stakes of a hole by one point when played and accepted. Teams can only throw the Hammer once on a given hole but are otherwise free to use them at any point in the match to up the ante. The maximum number of points on offer per hole is now 3 (should each team throw a Hammer that is accepted by their opponent). The new rules mean each team will always get the opportunity to throw the Hammer during a match. 

• The team with the most points wins the match.

• Each match will be played until all 15 holes are completed, even if the match outcome has been decided. A team’s total number of holes won will be used as a tiebreaker in the SoFi Cup Standings at the end of the regular season.

Format/Sessions

• Within a match, there will be two sessions played in two different formats.

  • Triples – 9 holes – Three players per team competing in an alternate-shot format. 
  • Singles – 6 holes– One-on-one, head-to-head competition for the entire hole. Each player from each team plays a total of two full holes during the session. 
  • Overtime – If the match is tied after 15 holes, the teams will play a best-of-three, closest-to-the-pin competition to decide the winner. This will be similar to penalty kicks in soccer. 
  • The hole location and orientation of the green will remain unchanged from the final/15th hole of the match. 
  • The shot distance will be between 25-50 yards and decided pre-match by our match official.  All players will play from the same spot. The ball must finish on the putting surface to be eligible.  

SoFi Cup Standings 

• Similar to the NHL, TGL presented by SoFi will use a points-based system for the SoFi Cup Standings.

• For each match, teams can be awarded up to 2 points towards their regular-season total based on the following: 

  • Win in regulation = 2 points 
  • Win in overtime = 2 points 
  • Loss in overtime = 1 point 
  • Loss in regulation = 0 points
