Why Did Tiger Woods’s TGL Team Opt to Play Kevin Kisner for Match 4 Mere Days After His Meltdown at SoFi Center?

Woods later called it one of the

“funniest” moments he’d ever seen, admitting, “It was just one of those weird nights.” Despite the comedy, Woods’s team suffered a heavy 12-1 defeat. Golf fans and big names alike have since taken to social media, sharing their laughter and disbelief over Kisner’s unforgettable mishap. And not to forget his terrible round at the American Express this weekend.

Seeing his current performance, one might not expect him to be a part of the fourth match. But guess what? Kevin Kisner was the one chosen for the match against the Boston Common Golf team, and it was Max Homa who was benched. But why is it so? Well, to begin with, Max Homa had to withdraw from the American Express with three holes left to conclude the second round. He cited an injury, so he probably will not be able to appear for the next game. Additionally, leaving the performance factor aside, Kisner was actually a good addition when it comes to the entertainment aspect of the game.

Keeping all these things in mind, Tiger

Woods probably chose Kisner, and Tom Kim due to the match with Rory McIlroy’s team. While Kevin Kisner does bring in entertainment, he acts wittily enough on the course as well.

Kevin Kisner takes a dig at Max Homa

Max Homa’s last victory came at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open, where he finished with a solid 13-under-par 275. Now, back at the same course, for the 2025 edition, he was hoping to add another win to his growing list of accomplishments. Things started off well enough with a solid tee shot on the par-4 first on the South Course, but then his luck seemed to have turned off. Homa’s approach shot landed in the left greenside bunker, and from there, it was a domino effect of misfortune. His next shot found the right greenside bunker, and after a couple more attempts, he was still trapped.

His fourth shot stayed in the sand, and after finally reaching the green, he was forced to two-putt from inside 8 feet for a painful triple-bogey 7. He managed to regroup for a few holes, making pars, but then the bunker curse hit again on the fourth. He ended his front nine with a 5-over. Kevin Kisner could not help but laugh at him. He stated that Max Homa probably learned from his TGL debut for the match, especially regarding his bunker shots, and was using them for the first hole at the Farmers Insurance Open. And well, it was a fun one indeed! Are you excited to see Kevin Kisner for the fourth match? Let us know in the comments section below!
