American Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley made his debut in Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods' Tomorrow's Golf League on 27 January.
It's Tiger Woods and Jupiter Links GC vs Boston Common Golf in TGL golf league tonight at SoFi Center. Follow for live score updates and highlights.
Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links Golf Club earned its first TGL win, edging Rory McIlroy's Boston Common Golf in overtime in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Four teams are now tied for first place in the new tech-infused golf league.
Woods was about to pull the putter back when his allotted 40 seconds expired and the buzzer sounded, handing the 15-time major winner an automatic one-stroke penalty, and thus costing him a chance of matching McIlroy's birdie.
So, for a moment, let’s treat this like a serious competition. Jupiter Links ran out Woods; Kevin Kisner, who struggled the last time he played two weeks ago; and Tom Kim, making his TGL debut. Boston Common featured McIlroy, Adam Scott and Keegan Bradley, major winners across the board.

The 22-year-old Kim routinely played to the crowd in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and backed it up with three key 8-footers and nearly the first ace in the TGL's brief history.
McIlroy recognizes that golf's issues might run a bit deeper than simply giving fans more face time with the game's top players though. With the emergence of LIV Golf, plus a jam-packed PGA Tour schedule, the Northern Irishman believes fans could be burnt out from simply consuming too much.
So far this season pro golf's headlines have focused on injuries, on issues, on alternate leagues. This week at Pebble? That could change.
TGL played for the first time on Monday night instead of Tuesday, and it allowed McIlroy, the No. 3 player in the world, time to get a decent night’s sleep—he lives five minutes from the SoFi Center—and then fly to the west coast for the $20 million signature event.
