TGL Match Recap: New York Golf Club Dominates Jupiter Links in Electric Showdown

The latest TGL matchup at SoFi Center on Tuesday, January 13, delivered a wild ride for golf fans and street culture enthusiasts alike. In a night full of drama, strategy, and a little bit of chaos, New York Golf Club (NYGC) stormed back from an early deficit to crush Jupiter Links Golf Club 8-3, snapping a three-match losing streak and injecting new life into their season.

Early Fireworks: Jupiter Takes Control

Jupiter Links GC came out swinging, building a 3-1 lead behind clutch play and bold strategy—Tiger Woods, although not playing, was in the mix with coaching and hype. Max Homa’s pinpoint approach and Kevin Kisner’s eagle setup had Jupiter fans pumped, but NYGC’s resilience was just warming up.

The Turnaround: NYGC Goes on a Tear

The momentum flipped in wild fashion when Jupiter’s Kisner let the shot clock expire, earning only the second shot clock violation in TGL history and handing NYGC a golden opportunity. From there, New York ripped off a 4-0 run, turning a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 lead entering singles play. Matt Fitzpatrick was a standout, crushing singles (now 3-0-1 this season) and pulling off one of the night’s most daring shots at the infamous "Stinger."

Hammer Time & Strategic Brilliance

TGL’s Hammer rule was on full display, with both teams tossing it at key moments. NYGC’s strategic use of the Hammer netted four points, swinging the match in their favor. Rickie Fowler iced it with a 14-foot birdie putt on No. 13, showing nerves of steel and putting the match out of reach for Jupiter.
