Tiger Woods names PGA Tour stars joining his TGL Golf team in 2025
Tiger Woods is ramping up his preparation for the new tech-infused golf league that he and Rory McIlroy have masterminded…
Tiger Woods has finally revealed the identity and the roster of his TGL Golf team.
Max Homa, Tom Kim and Kevin Kisner will join forces with the 15-time major champion as part of Jupiter Links Golf Club. The quartet will compete in the new team-golf league which begins in January 2025.
Homa has won six times on the PGA Tour while Kim has won three times at 21 years of age. Kisner is an experienced tour player who has recently graduated to the television commentary booth at various events.
Woods’ side was the penultimate group yet to reveal itself with just the San Francisco-based tea, to decide its four-man make up that will participate in the live, advanced tech-infused league being held at the custom-built SoFi Centre in Palm Beach Gardens.

The primary colour of the team will be Woods’ ‘Tiger Red’ look which he has donned on many a Sunday on his way to becoming an icon of the game. He wore a Sun Day Red shirt for the first time at the 2024 Masters since creating the new clothing brand in conjunction with TaylorMade.
“I have already shared my excitement and optimism for TGL as a league and product,” Woods said. “Now that we have finalised 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.”
TGL Golf was the brainchild of Woods and Rory McIlroy who is the captain of Boston Common Golf. In August 2022, the pair founded TMRW Sports along with former NBC golf executive Mike McCarley, a company focused on creating technology-focused ventures in sports, media and entertainment.
The new league will see six teams of four PGA Tour players compete across 15 regular season matches. There will be a shot clock, timeouts and a referee to enforce the rules in what will be a unique indoor golf experience that uses a 97 by-50-yard area.
A host of PGA Tour stars have signed up to TGL Golf including Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood and Xander Schauffele. Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton had been down to compete, but they have since moved to LIV Golf and are suspended from competing on the PGA Tour.
