Tom Kim gives Tiger Woods the TGL moment he has been waiting for

Tom Kim sank a 138-yard hole-in-one during a TGL match, and Tiger Woods celebrated as Jupiter Links advanced to the semifinals.

Tom Kim sank a 138-yard hole-in-one for the Jupiter Links Golf Club during a TGL win-and-in match in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Tiger Woods, who has not competed in professional golf since July 2024, celebrated the shot with a roar, a fist pump and an embrace. Woods co-founded the indoor simulation league TGL with Rory McIlroy in 2022 to offer a team-focused, primetime format. Kim’s ace helped Jupiter Links clinch the match and produced a widely shared moment. Notable details: - Kim’s hole-in-one came on the penultimate hole and was reported as a 138-yard shot that backed into the cup. - Woods did not play any of Jupiter’s five matches this season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles and lumbar disc replacement surgery. - About 1,500 fans attended the Sofi Center match; Woods gave his customary roar and fist pump and embraced Kim afterward. - Jupiter Links advanced to play Boston Common Golf, Rory McIlroy’s team, on March 17 in the semifinal round. - TGL matches are condensed to 15 holes in a two-hour primetime slot, using three-against-three alternate shot for the first nine holes followed by six singles. Summary: Kim’s hole-in-one produced an emotional, team-focused moment that matched TGL’s intent to present golf in a primetime, communal setting. Jupiter Links will face Boston Common Golf on March 17 in the semifinals, and Woods, who has no timetable to return to competition, will continue supporting and mentoring his teammates.
