TGL Finals Schedule and Where to Watch Tonight
The second-seeded Los Angeles Golf Club faces the fourth-seeded Jupiter Links Golf Club in a best-of-three series to win the SoFi Cup. Match 1 aired Monday at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2, with Match 2 starting at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday and Match 3, if needed, at 9 p.m. ET.
All finals matches are being shown live on ESPN and the ESPN app in the US, and on Sky Sports in the UK. Both matches tonight air on ESPN, making it a potentially historic doubleheader for the TGL golf league.
Who Is Playing: Jupiter Links vs Los Angeles Golf Club Lineups
The Match 1 lineups featured Los Angeles Golf Club sending out Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and Sahith Theegala, while Jupiter Links countered with Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner.
With Tiger Woods contributing in a non-playing role, Jupiter has been dialed in all month and now has the look of a serious championship contender. Collin Morikawa remains a question mark for Los Angeles after withdrawing from The Players with a back injury.
There was brief hope that Tiger Woods might use the TGL finals as his first introduction to golf competition again. The 15-time major winner has been focused on his recovery after undergoing disc replacement surgery in October and gave a cautious update about his health ahead of the Masters.
How Jupiter Links Golf Club Shocked Everyone to Reach the TGL Finals
Tiger Woods' team was at the bottom of the TGL Season 2 preseason rankings, with original odds more than double those of the fifth-ranked team. To say nobody saw this coming is a massive understatement.
Jupiter's young lineup of Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Akshay Bhatia kept producing brilliant shots at the right time throughout the playoffs. The team dispatched top-seeded Boston Common Golf 9-5 in the semifinals, with Rory McIlroy's squad looking shaky — putting two balls in the hazard and losing both singles holes to Homa with the hammer in play.
Tom Kim, two weeks after punching Jupiter's playoff ticket with a hole-in-one, nearly aced the same hole again in the semifinal, landing his tee shot inside three feet to extend Jupiter's lead to 7-3. The team's nickname — the Bad News Bears — has stuck, and for good reason.
Los Angeles Golf Club's Road to the TGL Finals
Los Angeles got it done in the semifinals with a 6-4 win over defending champion Atlanta Drive GC, outscoring the Season 1 champions 5-0 over the final nine holes and overcoming an early 3-0 deficit — all without Collin Morikawa in the lineup.
Los Angeles got off to a slow start in the regular season at 1-2, losing to Boston Common Golf in its opener and getting thumped by The Bay 11-5 in its third match. Then they turned it on and did not look back, winning their final two matches of the regular season behind the top-five trio of Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, and Collin Morikawa.
TGL Finals Odds and Keys to the Matchup
The odds board has Los Angeles Golf Club as the prohibitive favorite at -190 on DraftKings. Jupiter Links enters at +154 as the underdog looking to cap one of the most surprising postseason runs in the league's short history.
Los Angeles is the stronger Triples team, ranked second in alternate shot holes won with 18 and points won with 20. Jupiter Links is not far behind, and that gap in Triples scoring is an important factor. Getting off to a solid start with early points gives a team a massive Hammer advantage, and the team that falls behind must be far more aggressive.
This final feels like a clash of styles — Los Angeles brings structure and experience, while Jupiter counters with momentum and explosiveness. If L.A. controls the early portion of the match, they can dictate tempo. But if Jupiter keeps things close heading into singles, history says they will be incredibly difficult to stop.
Tiger Woods, the Masters, and the TGL Golf League's Bigger Picture
In the post-match press conference following the TGL semifinals, Tiger Woods shared an update about possibly playing at the Masters. He noted that disc replacement surgery is not straightforward, describing fluctuating recovery with some good days and others where it is hard to simply move around. The 2026 Masters is scheduled for April 9-12 at Augusta National.
Jupiter Links Golf Club is owned by TGR Ventures and David Blitzer, while Los Angeles Golf Club is owned by Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams, and Venus Williams. The TGL golf league, co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, plays all matches at the purpose-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Tonight, one of those ownership groups will celebrate a first championship, and Tiger Woods' remarkable golf venture will have its most dramatic ending yet.
