The TGL Season 2 clash between Jupiter Links Golf Club (JUP) and Boston Common Golf (BOS)—Match 13—is set for Sunday, March 1, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. ET (Eastern Time) from the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
This is a massive rematch from Season 1’s opener, where JUP pulled off a dramatic 4-3 overtime win over BOS—featuring clutch plays from Tom Kim and a tense Tiger Woods vs. Rory McIlroy showdown.
Tiger remains on JUP’s roster and could make a cameo here for extra drama, though the projected lineup doesn’t list him yet.
Playoff Stakes
With the regular season winding down:
– Boston Common Golf (3-1-0, 6 points, 25 Holes Won): Playoff-clinched and leading the SoFi Cup Standings. A win (or even OT loss) here secures the No. 1 seed. Atlanta Drive has also clinched; LA and The Bay are in strong spots.
– Jupiter Links Golf Club (1-2-0, 2 points, 13 Holes Won): On the bubble as the only team with two games left (this + vs. The Bay on March 3 at 9 p.m. ET). They need at least one win (ideally both) to stay alive—potentially forcing tiebreakers via Holes Won. A loss here could end their season unless scenarios like NY upsetting The Bay play out.
BOS has flipped the script from a winless Season 1 to dominant form, while JUP seeks momentum after their lone win (8-6 over Atlanta on Feb. 2).
Projected Lineups & Key Battle
Jupiter Links Golf Club (Triples/Singles order):
1. Akshay Bhatia* (lefty with 100% GIR in Season 2 appearances; clutch setter-upper of birdies/concessions)
2. Max Homa (power hitter; longest drives and key approaches in prior wins)
3. Tom Kim (Season 2 debut; elite accuracy/putting from Season 1, including OT heroics vs. BOS last year)
Boston Common Golf:
1. Rory McIlroy (explosive driver: leads avg. distance ~343.5 yds, ball speed; strong singles history vs. JUP stars)
2. Hideki Matsuyama (precision; strong recent highlights like birdies from close range)
3. Keegan Bradley (iron man—played every regular-season match across both seasons; short-game specialist with record drives)
Singles matchups add spice:
– Bhatia vs. McIlroy (Holes 10: Caverns, 13: Stinger—Bhatia holds Last Toll closest-to-pin record at 4’2″)
– Homa vs. Matsuyama (Holes 11: Loot on the Line, 14: Cenote)
– Kim vs. Bradley (Holes 12: On the Rocks, 15: Stone & Steeple—rematch of Season 1 where Kim beat Bradley on 12)
Team Edges & Course Insights
JUP dominates greens in regulation (No. 1 at 73.3%) but lags off the tee (last in distance/accuracy) and putting (0% from 10-30 ft this season; last in short/medium efficiency). They’ve thrown 9 hammers but converted only 5.
BOS owns driving (No. 1 accuracy 75%, distance 326.6 yds, ball speed) and long-range putting (leads 10-30 ft at 40%). Weaker in short putts (65%) and scrambling (58.3%).
The 15-hole custom course (from TGL’s catalog) features strategic gems:
– Hole 1: Cut The Sails (Par 4, 394 yds): Opening drama—produced season’s longest drives (e.g., Bradley’s 383.9 yds record). McIlroy tees off here; strategic tee choices (short left or bold over).
– Hole 7: The Last Toll (Par 3, 217 yds): Low GIR (53.3%); bridge-over-green apocalyptic vibe. Bhatia and McIlroy tee off—Bhatia holds 4’2″ record.
– Hole 10: Caverns (Par 5, 569 yds): Underground chamber par-5; kicks off Singles. High GIR (75%).
– Hole 13: Stinger (Par 4, 416 yds): Tiger signature—low apex tees (under 20 ft) to avoid rocks/penalties. McIlroy tees off; history of low launches (e.g., 9-17 ft apexes for birdies/pars).
– Hole 11: Loot on the Line (Par 3, 338 yds): Longest drive record 346 yds (Homa).
– Hole 15: Stone & Steeple (Par 5, 537 yds): Solid closer.
BOS’s tee power could dominate longer holes, but JUP’s approach precision might steal points on greens-heavy spots. Hammers, concessions, and putting under lights could swing it—especially in OT if close.
This one’s got playoff fire, star power, and revenge. Tune in Sunday at 9 p.m. ET—tickets via AXS/SoFi Center if you’re local. Who wins this one? Boston’s surge or JUP’s desperation? ⛳
