Tiger Woods returned to competitive golf for the first time in over a year, but Los Angeles Golf Club spoiled his comeback with a dominant 9-2 victory in the TGL finals. The match ended in just 10 holes after L.A. made three consecutive eagles, clinching the SoFi Cup and $9 million team prize.

Woods, recovering from October back surgery, played as captain and cheerleader for Jupiter Links before deciding to compete Monday evening. His most memorable moment came when he missed a 3-foot putt on the seventh hole, slamming his putter in frustration. That miss gave L.A. momentum, which they never relinquished. Tommy Fleetwood followed with a 12-foot eagle putt, and Sahith Theegala sealed the match with another eagle.

For Woods, it was about playing again rather than winning. He gave no indication about competing in the Masters next month, saying his body doesn't recover like it used to. The 15-time major champion's return to golf, even in an indoor league, marks progress in his comeback from multiple injuries. His future as potential 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup captain remains uncertain as the PGA of America awaits his decision.
