TGL highlights: Jupiter Links pulls off upset win over Atlanta Drive

2025 TGL champion Atlanta Drive Golf Club was back in action after three weeks without a match, taking on Jupiter Links Golf Club at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Jupiter Links beat Atlanta 8-6, ending a losing streak that extended to January 2025.

Max Homa, Kevin Kisner and Akshay Bhatia played for Jupiter Links, while Tiger Woods and Tom Kim were inactive. For Atlanta, Billy Horschel, Lucas Glover and Chris Gotterup were active, as Justin Thomas sat out.

Here are the best moments from Monday’s match.

Not how you want to set a record

Atlanta’s Gotterup set the record for the longest drive in TGL history on the team’s first shot of the night. But the 374-yard drive landed in the bunker. Atlanta managed to overcome the difficult spot, as the team went on to win Hole 1 and take a 1-0 lead.


Woods doesn’t love his team’s start

During an interview between the first two holes, Woods was asked about his thoughts on his team dropping the first hole of the match, and he didn’t hold back. Woods said the team intended to take an early lead, «but so much for that idea.»


Jupiter Links wins three consecutive holes

After a slow start, momentum swung in Jupiter Links’ favor on Hole 3. The team tied the score with wins on Holes 3 and 4, and had a chance to take its first lead of the match on Hole 5. Homa wasn’t going to let that opportunity pass him by, as his first shot left his team less than 5 feet from the pin. Jupiter Links won the Hole and claimed a 3-2 lead. This was the first time they won three consecutive holes.
