Tiger Woods returned to the TGL stage for the first time in over a year, but his comeback ended in a 9-2 thrashing by Los Angeles Golf Club in the SoFi Cup final. The 50-year-old, recovering from Achilles surgery and disk replacement, joined Jupiter Links as a replacement for Kevin Kisner alongside Tom Kim and Max Homa. Despite a strong start with a birdie on the second hole, Woods struggled, missing key putts and conceding momentum.

Los Angeles seized control with a 5-0 run from the sixth hole, securing the $9 million team prize. Woods admitted frustration, citing missed opportunities and rust from rehab. Meanwhile, he hinted at potential Masters participation, though his body’s recovery remains a challenge after years of injury setbacks.
