Tiger Woods & Jupiter Links Win Overtime Thriller: TGL Recap with Claire Rogers Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

TGL digital host (and host of GOLF's "The Scoop") Claire Rogers joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to break down the overtime win notched by Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links over Rory McIlroy's Boston Common - by far the most entertaining match in the four-week history of the TGL!

Smylie and Charlie begin the episode discussing how the TGL format brings out all of the competitive intensity we're used to seeing from Tiger Woods, without the physical strain that comes with four-day Tour events and major championships.

Claire then joins the show to discuss her first interview with Tiger, Kevin Kisner winning the first-ever TGL overtime with a cross-handed pitch, and the energy - and clutch putting - that Tom Kim brought to Jupiter Links ... along with some other tangents, including her TGL "all-fun" team, "arrival outfits" spotted on several players, and whether the "Scoop bump" outweights the ""Smylie Show bump."
