Another four-player roster has been unveiled for TGL's inaugural season, which is set to begin in January 2025 at Sofi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The new tech-infused indoor golf simulator league was originally set to kick off in January 2024 but was postponed due to severe storms heavily damaging the Sofi Center in November.

Tiger Woods has remained busy since making the cut for the 24th consecutive trip to Augusta National, as he announced Monday that PGA Tour stars Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner will join him on Jupiter Links GC in 2025.

“I have already shared my excitement and optimism for TGL as a league and product,” Woods, part owner of Jupiter Links Golf Club and co-founder of TMRW Sports, said in a press release. “Now that we have finalized 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.”

Homa and Woods are both Southern California natives who were recently paired together for the opening two rounds of The Masters. Homa, a six-time winner on the PGA Tour, also played alongside Woods at the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews. One of those six victories occurred in 2021 at The Genesis Invitational, a tournament hosted by Woods.

“Following Tiger’s career is one of the main reasons I became an avid golfer,” Homa said. “I remember watching him win the 1997 Masters, and now getting to play alongside him has been amazing.”

Kim is one of the few to have shared an accomplishment with Woods, as he became the first player since 'Big Cat' to win multiple times on the PGA Tour before turning 21 when he took down the 2022 Shriners Children's Open. Since then, Kim successfully defended his title at TPC Summerlin this past fall and finished runner-up at the 2023 Open Championship. He was also a staple for the International Team at the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow.

In Kisner, Jupiter Links GC gets a four-time Tour winner, a two-time Presidents Cup participant, and possibly the most hilarious member of the PGA Tour. Thanks to his humor and witty nature, Kisner has joined the NBC Sports broadcast multiple times in 2024, receiving loads of positive feedback for his contributions. The Aiken, South Carolina native provides another veteran presence alongside Woods and is sure to provide entertainment with his game and on the microphone.

“I feel very privileged to have played in the Tiger Era,” Kisner said in a statement. “Having the opportunity to compete against and alongside the GOAT has been one of the things I’ll remember most at the end of my career.

TGL will feature state-of-the-art technology, including a 64-foot by 46-foot projector screen that players will hit into. Tee boxes, fairways, and rough will be made with real grass, and sand bunkers will also be implemented. For approach shots inside 50 yards, players will move to the short-game area, where a custom-built green zone spanning 22,475 square feet transforms between holes. Sofi Center can fit roughly 1,500 fans inside the arena to watch the action live in person.
