Tiger Woods has revealed that Kevin Kisner, Tom Kim, and Max Homa, three other PGA Tour players, will be joining him on his TGL squad Jupiter Links GC.
Together with Rory McIlroy, Woods is one of the creative league’s co-founders. He will play in the inaugural season, which begins in 2025, for his hometown of Jupiter. And Woods has finally expanded his squad, five months after it was announced that he was the 15-time major champion and owner of the Jupiter team.
Alongside him will be Ryder Cup star Homa and six-time winner Kisner, both mainstays of the PGA Tour. Kim, a South Korean standout and one of golf’s hottest prospects, rounds out the four-man field.

Even with the support of some of the biggest stars on the PGA Tour, TGL has not had an easy time of it. Due to damage to their specially designed SoFi Center stadium, the tech-based league was forced to postpone its opening by a full year, moving the first season from 2024 to 2025.
Because of LIV Golf’s allure, they are still searching for two more players to round out their lineup. Following his announcement that he had broken his promise to compete on the TGL circuit and instead chosen to switch to the Saudi circuit, Jon Rahm was the first player to depart.
Subsequently, Rahm signed Ryder Cup teammate Hatton to his newly founded LIV squad Legion XIII, the two-time major champion. Tyrrell Hatton was also on the TGL roster, however because of his allegiance to the breakaway league, the Englishman was later taken off the league’s website.
Woods stated, “I have already shared my excitement and optimism for TGL as a league and product,” in response to his colleagues’ declaration. “I am even more confident that this group will proudly represent the Jupiter area and connect with our fans for years to come now that we have finalized our roster with a team of world-class golfers.”
The highly skilled Homa, who has established himself as one of the best players in the game recently, will undoubtedly prove to be a wise addition. The American’s career has taken off in just three years; in that time, he has won five times and made an impression during his Ryder Cup debut in the fall of last year.
And Homa is more than excited about the opportunity to work with what is perhaps the greatest player in golf history. “Following Tiger’s career is one of the main reasons that I became an avid golfer,” he said. “It’s great to play with him now; I remember watching him win the Masters in 1997.
“To be able to call Tiger, Tom, and Kevin teammates is incredibly amazing. I’ll be able to play alongside some of the world’s best golfers and introduce this innovative and thrilling format to the game thanks to TGL. I’ll also be able to interact with South Florida, one of the top golf markets in the nation.
