Los Angeles Golf Club crushed Tiger Woods’s Jupiter Links team 12-1 in last night’s TGL match, but it was a hilarious mishap that stole the show.
The star-studded LA team of Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, and Justin Rose dominated from start to finish at the high-tech SoFi Center in Florida.
But it was Kevin Kisner’s bunker blunder that had everyone – especially Tiger – in stitches.
With the match already decided by the 14th hole, Kisner attempted a delicate chip from the sand. Instead, he thinned it so badly the ball was heading clear off the green before miraculously hitting the flagstick and bouncing into another bunker.
Tiger Woods completely lost it. He was doubled over laughing, tears streaming down his face.
"We honestly didn’t think anyone could possibly get hit in here," Woods said later, still chuckling. "But that was one of the funniest moments I’ve ever seen, Kis hitting that shot like that. We were just dying."
The best part? Kisner showed why he’s won four times on the PGA Tour by nearly holing his next shot – a perfectly judged chip that caught the lip and spun out.
"That would have been just like the most all-world 3," Woods said. "It was just one of those weird nights."
Despite the lopsided score, the players seemed to have a blast in this new tech-infused format. There were laughs and jokes throughout the evening, even as LA Golf Club pulled further ahead.
"We were entertaining. We hit a lot of shots," Woods reflected. "I think the people here, they got to see how bad pros can be. It was just a boat race. Oh my goodness. But we had a great time."
The loss drops Woods’s Jupiter Links team to 0-1 in the inaugural TGL season, while Los Angeles moves to 1-0.
