The struggle-filled season for Tiger Woods isn’t getting any better. The golfer who ended the 2024 season on a high note of performance at the PNC Championship, has struggled to perform in the tech-infused league. Well, not only struggled, but also being accused of the unfortunate result of the team. Despite the negatives coming in for the golfer and captain, his teammate is in support, irrespective of the results.

Jupiter Links till now has only one win against the Boston Common Golf Club, that too with a close margin of 4-3. With the performance struggle and worry of qualifying for the semi-finals, recently at the Shotgun Start podcast, an insider shared a blunt assessment. He said, “I think TGL is a better product when Tiger is not there.”

Well, despite the accusation, there are still hopes alive and support from the teammates for the greatest. Recently at the Smylie Show, Max Homa, a team member of the Jupiter Links, was asked about his experience of being in the team with Tiger Woods. The question even pointed out the epic flagstick shot of Kevin Kisner, which left Woods and Homa laughing in tears.

Homa said, “Being on the team with Tiger is really cool, but all jokes aside, with the whole thing that went down with Kis to get to stand next to like your hero.” He even continued how both were laughing with tears for an hour and even continued the chat when Woods asked for the video. The video of both golfers’ reaction went viral on social media, as fans praised seeing Woods laughing like that for the first time.

Continuing ahead on backing the 15-time major winner, Homa said, “I honestly think for the fans and in the corniest way like he’s such like a Godlike figure and to get to see him how we see him which is just like a dude and he’s honestly awesome guy been a good friend to get to see him in these environments be you know normal but competitive.” Golf being a highly competitive sport has always seen Tiger Woods’s aggressive side. However, with the new age tech league, the fans got to witness the other side, which even Homa has praised.

Now, with allegations coming to the greatest, can the team still manage to qualify?

Tiger Woods’s Jupiter links qualification scenario

Until now, Jupiter Links has struggled in the league. Out of 4 matches, the team has 3 losses and only one victory. Now with just one match remaining against the Atlanta Drive, the qualification chances are tough. Jupiter Links is placed at a fifth position with one point difference for qualification.

Three spots for the semi-final have already been filled with Los Angeles GC, The Bay GC, and Atlanta Drive GC targeting the playoff. Now for the final match, Jupiter requires a win, while relying on the match of New York as they are placed at fourth. Even the loss or tiebreaker would help Woods’ team to find a way through the playoffs. But the results will get clear for the Jupiter Links, as NYGC’s match will tee off a day before. Currently, New York is placed at fourth with 3 points, while Jupiter is at fifth with 2 points.
