Match 2 – Los Angeles Golf Club vs. Jupiter Links Golf Club
The second match of the season will be the first look at Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club (Woods, Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner) against Los Angeles Golf Club (Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Tommy Fleetwood, and Justin Rose). No team has won more PGA TOUR events than Jupiter Links with 94 (Tiger's 82 victories certainly helps there), but LAGC is packed with talent.
Morikawa and Theegala will be representing the team from Southern California and both were born in the greater Los Angeles area. The pair also have a history in team golf, playing together at the 2024 Presidents Cup on the way to victory for the U.S. Team. Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose are both Olympic medalists (gold for Rose and silver for Fleetwood).
Match 3 – New York Golf Club vs. Atlanta Drive GC
Atlanta Drive GC (Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel, and Lucas Glover) makes its debut on Jan. 21 against New York Golf Club, with as many as three FedExCup champions potentially playing at SoFi Center (Horschel, Cantlay and Thomas). This will be the second look at NYGC after they opened the season against The Bay Golf Club in week one.
Match 4 – Jupiter Links Golf Club vs. Boston Common Golf
Rory McIlroy and Boston Common Golf (McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott, and Hideki Matsuyama) take to SoFi Center for the first time in a marquee matchup against Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club. As two of golf's biggest superstars, Woods and McIlroy rank No. 1 and No. 2 in TGL for PGA TOUR victories (82 and 26, respectively).
But while Jupiter Links holds the edge in PGA TOUR wins courtesy of Tiger, Boston Common Golf is the only team in TGL that boasts a roster of four players who have won at least one major each.
Match 5 – Boston Common Golf vs. Los Angeles Golf Club
The two teams with the best current average Official World Golf Ranking square off. Boston Common Golf’s roster features the best average World Ranking at 11, while Los Angeles Golf Club follows at 17.
Both cities have a rich history of championships in sports, with Boston winning 39 titles combined in professional football, baseball, hockey, and basketball, compared to Los Angeles’ 24 titles.
Matches 6-8 – Presidents’ Day Tripleheader
As the PGA TOUR wraps its West Coast Swing with The Genesis Invitational, TGL will host a tripleheader on Presidents’ Day, starting with Atlanta Drive GC vs. Los Angeles Golf Club.
Atlanta Drive GC will go back-to-back when they face The Bay Golf Club in the second match, before The Bay Golf Club do the same, taking on Boston Common Golf in the third instalment of a packed day.
This final match of the Presidents' Day tripleheader will see two of the best driving and ball striking teams going head-to-head. From the 2024 PGA TOUR season, both teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in average driving distance, strokes gained off the tee, greens in regulation, par 4 and par 5 scoring average, Strokes Gained – ball striking per round and Strokes Gained – total.
Match 9 – Jupiter Links Golf Club vs. New York Golf Club
The action continues the day after the Presidents’ Day tripleheader, with Jupiter Links GC and New York Golf Club wrapping up the week on Tuesday. Jupiter Links' roster has serious matchup pedigree. Woods and Kisner are two of the most successful players in the history of World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play, while Max Homa and Tom Kim both have impressive match play resumes.
By this point of the year, more than half the regular season will be complete and the teams will be jostling for position in the SoFi Cup Standings ahead of the playoffs.
Matches 10-12 – Race for SoFi Cup Heats Up
Three matches will be played over two days with all six teams in action, starting with Los Angeles Golf Club vs. New York Golf Club. These two rosters have tons of team golf experience, having made a combined 20 Ryder Cup appearances between them. Monday's play concludes with Boston Common Golf vs. Atlanta Drive GC, before The Bay Golf Club and Jupiter Links GC go head-to-head on Tuesday night.
The two days will likely feature plenty of interesting international team competition storylines with past Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teammates and memorable opponents set to face each other over the course of the three matches.
Matches 13-15 – Final Week of Regular Season
The final week of the regular season will be the last chance for teams to make their move in the SoFi Cup Standings. The top four teams advance to the Semifinals before a best-of-three Finals Series for the right to lift the SoFi Cup.
An important wrinkle: The tiebreaker for playoff seeding in the SoFi Cup Standings will be total holes won by each team during the regular season, making all 15 holes of each match important to each team’s pursuit of the playoffs.
