Livescore
It was comedy of errors for Jupiter Links Golf Club during Tuesday’s TGL match at SoFi Center that became a viral moment.
On the 13th hole, Tiger Woods hit a wedge when he had 199 yards to the hole.
“That was one of the most embarrassing things to ever happen,” Tiger said, laughing, after the match. “I can’t believe that just happened.”
As for the shot. He nailed it .. if it really was 99 yards.
“I hit it 100 yards,” he said.

Kim and Kisner were confused when they saw Tiger swing.
“What are you doing?” Kim said. “It’s 199,” added Kisner.
“You said 99,” Tiger said. “You said 99.”
That moment came 10 holes after Tiger, Kim and Kisner spent several minutes searching for a ball mark, which they later learned was in Kisner’s pocket the whole time.
As for the golf, it wasn’t much better. Tiger started by missing a 5-foot putt for par and a tie.
And it got worse from there.
On the second hole, he left the ball in the bunker, a shot that cost Jupiter two points after New York threw the Hammer.
On No. 4, his drive drifted left, way left, into whatever grass is displayed on the virtual screen.
So on and so forth.
Tiger had one highlight, dropping an 8-foot putt to defeat Young in singles.
But that was not what Jupiter was thinking about when the three players arrived in the media center following the match.
“Can you talk about what you learned from today’s match,” they were asked.
All three players burst out in laughter.
