Deadspin: Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links Take Part in TGL’s Opening-Night Doubleheader
Two matches open the season
The TGL begins play Dec. 27 with a doubleheader. Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club will meet Los Angeles Golf Club, the defending champion, in a rematch of the title game.
The other matchup pairs Brooks Koepka’s Motor City Golf Club with Boston Common Golf, headed by Rory McIlroy. The TGL is a technology-focused golf league with six teams of three players, including PGA professionals and top golfers.
Woods’ next appearance remains unclear
Woods last played competitive golf at the TGL final in March. The season opener could mark his return, but he could also choose to play before Dec. 27.

The league will compete with NFL broadcasts on opening day, as it did last season. TGL ratings rose on its opening day a season ago. The schedule places the two matches against the same sports-broadcasting competition again this year. The article does not provide expected ratings or details about the broadcast.
