Interest intensifies ahead of Tuesday night’s (March 17th) TGL play-off double-header at the SoFi Centre here in Florida.

Two matches are being staged with the two winners heading into next week’s season Final.

First-up – Teeing-off at 6.30pm will be TGL defending champs Atlanta Drive GC up against Los Angeles GC,

LA won the regular-season tie-breaker (26 Holes Won vs. ATL’s 23). The winner advances to next week’s SoFi Cup Finals!

Team Line-Ups: 

LA’s playing order has been corrected—Sahith Theegala plays second, Tommy Fleetwood plays third. This adjusts the Singles head-to-heads!

– ATL: 1. Patrick Cantlay (vs. Justin Rose), 2. Billy Horschel (vs. Sahith Theegala), 3. Chris Gotterup (vs. Tommy Fleetwood)
– LA: 1. Justin Rose, 2. Sahith Theegala, 3. Tommy Fleetwood

This is a heated rematch. In their Feb 23 regular-season clash, LA won 7-3 at SoFi Center—Tommy Fleetwood clinched on No. 14 (Cliffhanger) with a birdie from 8’8″ after LA’s only Hammer doubled points for an unbeatable lead. Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa, and Fleetwood dominated Singles (5-2). But ATL has OT heroics: In 2025, they forced OT vs. LA with a final Hammer swing, then Patrick Cantlay sealed it in the closest-to-the-pin shootout (5’7″ winner)!

What Jupiter Links Bring to the Showdrown:

– Hammer Fire — League leaders in Hammers thrown (15) and won (11) = 73.3% success rate.
– Singles Strength — No. 1 in Singles Points Won (16), strong short-putting (72.7%).
– Tom Kim Magic — Hole-in-one record from 138 yds (On The Rocks returns tomorrow).
– Max Homa Clutch — No. 1 Singles Points Won (7), T1 Holes Won (5) this season.
– Akshay Bhatia Heat — 100% GIR in Singles, recent PGA TOUR win (Arnold Palmer Invitational).
– Late surge + burning revenge after that 4-inch OT loss = pure potential.

Math-Filled Stats & Prompts:

1. Holes Won – 
BOS: 30 Holes Won (League high). JUP: 24.

2. Driving Comparison
BOS: 74.0% accuracy (No. 1), 325.4 yds avg (No. 1). JUP: 64.4% (No. 3), 308.1 yds (No. 6).
Prompt: BOS accuracy edge? (9.6%) Distance gap? (17.3 yds) BOS % farther? (~5.6%)

3. Hammer Heat
JUP: 11/15 Hammers won.
Prompt: Win %? (11 ÷ 15 ≈ 73.3%) If each successful Hammer averages 2 points (double value), total Hammer points? (~22)

4. Custom Course Spotlight
– Hole 12 (On The Rocks, par 3, 438 yds): 83.9% GIR (highest), Kim’s hole-in-one return.
– Hole 15 (Sterling, par 5, 535 yds): 338 yds longest drive ≈ 63% covered.
– Hole 6 (Stinger, par 4, 416 yds): Low apex encouraged, high penalties (7).
Prompt: Hole-in-one % of On The Rocks length? (138 ÷ 438 ≈ 31.5%) GIR range (43.8% to 87.5%)? Difference? (43.7%)

The Hopeful Prediction
Boston has elite driving, GIR (70.7%), scrambling, and OT clutch (won by inches last time). But Jupiter Links has Hammer aggression, Singles edge, Tom Kim’s ace potential, and revenge fire after that painful 4-inch OT loss. Tiger’s squad could absolutely ignite tomorrow — throw Hammers early, hit greens, and force BOS into mistakes on tricky holes like Stinger.

Who you got? Will JUP bring the heat and grab the upset or Rory’s Boston side steal the W?
