ESPN and TMRW Sports announced the upcoming schedule for the indoor simulator league, TGL, and Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club is part of an opening day doubleheader. Of course, there’s no guarantee that Woods will play, but with reports of him actively practicing, it seems very possible he’d compete in an event that requires little walking. Spots are still being held open for him in both the Tiger-hosted Hero World Challenge (Dec. 3-6) and family competition PNC Championship (Dec. 19-20).

The Sunday opening day of TGL’s third season—which falls in Week 16 of the NFL season—will be televised by ABC, Jupiter plays reigning champ Los Angeles Golf Club at 3 p.m. ET in a rematch of this year’s final. The first match, at 1 p.m., features Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf vs. Brooks Koepka’s first-year Motor City Golf Club.

In all, there will be 14 regular-season matches at SoFi Center, with the top three teams from a total of seven automatically reaching the playoffs, which will be held March 1-23. The fourth team will be determined by a play-in match. In the release, the companies said the schedule “includes a broader mix of weekend, daytime and earlier primetime windows that expand accessibility, particularly for younger viewers, and offer favorable times for international audiences.”

the first of two playoff events that cap its 2026 season. The top 70 players off the Race to Dubai points list qualify for the event, but 10 of those players are skipping it, including several recent European Ryder Cup players: Matt Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry, Bob MacIntyre, Justin Rose and Ludvig Aberg. Also not on the entry list are reigning Open champion Ryan Fox and Alex Fitzpatrick. Neither the tour or the players themselves have given reasons for missing the event, although last month Matt Fitzpatrick and MacIntyre voiced concerns about playing this tournament and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in the Middle East given the ongoing political conflict. The decision by MacIntyre (56th in the Race to Dubai) and Rose (69th) means that they are forgoing the chance to move into the top 50 on the points list and qualify for the Tour Championship in Dubai. To fill the 70-player field in Abu Dhabi, the DP World Tour reached down to the next 10 players off the RTD points list.

After a contentious couple weeks in the court room about the future of the Washington D.C. public course, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued an injunction that prevents the government from taking down more trees or doing any other modifications while the lawsuit against Trump’s plans is active. In the injunction Reyes did not hide her displeasure with the administration, expressing indignation regarding the government’s assertion “not to believe the sitting President” and overlook Trump’s remarks and social-media posts about what he wants to do at East Potomac. “This started as a case about golf. That good walk spoiled. But it has become much more,” Reyes wrote. “It now forces the Court to reconcile assertions by President Donald J. Trump with the sworn testimony of multiple government employees and the argument of senior Department of Justice attorneys.” Read Golf Digest’s longform about the East Potomac controversy here.

after someone drove a "side by side" vehicle across the turf in the dead of night. Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links, one of the oldest public golf courses in the Akron area, posted photos of the damage and has already sent video to local law enforcement.

The incident occurred near midnight on Saturday and the course is planning to pursue "all available criminal charges, as well as full restitution for the damages caused."
