Tiger Woods vs. Rory McIlroy live results: Updated TGL scores, highlights from Jupiter Links Golf Club vs Boston Common

Tiger Woods’ second TGL match has arrived — as has his first head-to-head meeting against Rory McIlroy in the brand-new league.

After the two famed golfers were brought in as partners for the creation of the TMRW Golf League, each will lead their four-player squad on Monday night in a meeting between Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club and McIlroy’s Boston Common team. They’ll face off in SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

With the league aiming to bring golf into a new age, including a collection of professional golfers that compete using a combination of simulators and physical putting greens, Woods has already made his TGL debut. On Jan. 14, his Jupiter team fell 12-1 to L.A. Golf Club. 

However, Monday will mark the first match of the TGL season for McIlroy and Boston Common, and it comes in the league’s most high-profile head-to-head matchup including two of its creators. While Woods and Jupiter Links Golf Club are looking to recover from their first loss, McIlroy and Boston Common will attempt to start their season on a good note.

Jupiter Links Golf Club vs. Boston Common lineup

Jupiter Links Golf Club and Boston Common Golf represent two of the six teams in the TGL. The Jupiter Links Golf Club is based out of Jupiter, Florida, and includes Woods, Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner. 

On the other side of things, Boston Common Golf includes McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott, and Hideki Matsuyama.

What is TGL?

TGL is an abbreviation for the TMRW Golf League. McIlroy, Woods, and sports executive Mike McCarley formed TMRW Sports together, collaborating to make TGL. 

With six teams in the league, each team includes four members. The regular season runs from Jan. 7 to March 4, when playoffs would start. Each week, a pair of teams compete in two rounds. The first consists of nine holes in a three-vs-three format where the golfers alternate shots. The second portion is six holes of singles with players going head-to-head. 

The golfers will hit their driver and long shots into a screen, just like you would at a simulator. The short game is not simulated, however. There is a short-game area that is larger than four basketball courts that will allow golfers to hit out of the sand as they work to the green. 

The TGL utilizes a massive in-person green that the golfers putt on. They have hole locations all over the green, and before each hole one is filled and then another is chosen to put the flag in. This gives the golfers different looks every hole. 

How does TGL scoring work?

TGL uses stroke play, so whoever has the lowest score on a hole, earns a point. The team with the most points at the end of both rounds, is considered the winner. 

The twist with the scoring is that there is a hammer that can be played. One team starts with the hammer. This can be played at any time to increase the point value of a hole by one point. So if a hole is normally worth one point, a team can play the hammer and the hole is now worth two points.

If the opposing team wants to block the hammer play, they can, but they will automatically concede the hole. Also, once a hammer is used it then goes to the other team who can use it instantly if they prefer. This means that if both teams use the hammer, a hole goes from one point to three.
