Jupiter Links Golf Club captain Tiger Woods is making a call to the bullpen for the second match of his team’s best-of-three series in the TGL finals on Tuesday.

Woods is calling his own number and will make his season debut in the do-or-die matchup with L.A.

The 15-time major champion inserted himself into the lineup, replacing Kevin Kisner, a four-time Tour winner who currently serves as an NBC Sports commentator. Woods will be joined by Max Homa and Tom Kim. Akshay Bhatia, who has served as an alternate for the team, is unavailable because he’s competing in India on the DP World Tour this week. ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt may have put the news of Tiger’s return best: “Tomorrow, Tiger Woods isn’t just cheering the boys on,” he posted on social media, “he’s playing. Giddy up.”

Los Angeles took the first match of the best-of-three series 6-5, winning two points on the final hole on Monday. With their backs against the wall, Jupiter Links must win the second match at SoFi Center on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN to force a decisive third match.

The rubber match with the title on the line would follow shortly thereafter, with a scheduled start time of 9 p.m. ET on ESPN. Woods is in the lineup for Match 3, if it gets that far, too.

Woods, 50, hasn’t competed in the indoor league all season following October back surgery that has kept him sidelined for more than a year from TGL and from the PGA Tour since the 2024 British Open.

“I’ve been trying to come back,” he said last week. “But it just hasn’t worked out that way.”

Returning to the fairways has been its own process. Woods said last month that he still held out hope he’d be able to compete in the 90th Masters, which begins in just more than two weeks. Playing in TGL gives hope that Woods just might tee it up in what would be his 27th appearance at the Masters. He won his fifth Green Jacket in 2019.
