PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Tiger Woods has put himself into the lineup Tuesday night for his Jupiter Links team in the TGL final, waiting until the last day to make his first appearance in the tech-infused indoor league.<\/p>\n

Woods has been at every match as a captain and a cheerleader while recovering from a seventh back surgery last October. He has gone more than a year since competing anywhere because of a ruptured Achilles tendon in March 2025.<\/p>\n

Jupiter Links lost the opening match Monday night in the best-of-3 final against Los Angeles and now has to win two matches at the SoFi Center.<\/p>\n

Wood said last week after Jupiter won to reach the finals he has been trying to play the matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to come back. But it just hasn\u2019t worked out that way,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve had a bad run of injuries last year. I think it\u2019s been a year and a few days since I blew out my Achilles. And so then I\u2019ve had two back operations. So it\u2019s been a little rough go. But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don\u2019t want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woods will be replacing Kevin Kisner, who was on the losing end of the decisive hole in singles. Jupiter had a 5-4 lead when Los Angeles threw the hammer \u2014 meaning the hole was worth two points \u2014 for the par-5 closing hole.<\/p>\n

Sahith Theegala had the length to easily reach the green in two and set up a two-putt birdie. Kisner, who has spent most of March in the booth for NBC\u2019s coverage of the PGA Tour, drove into the rough, laid up in the rough and hit wedge that didn\u2019t quite reach the green. His birdie chip from 20 feet to tie the hole \u2014 and win the match \u2014 narrowly missed to the left.<\/p>\n

Woods joins Tom Kim and Max Homa for Jupiter Links. Akshay Bhatia had been filling in as an alternate, but he is in New Delhi this week on a sponsor invitation to play the Hero Indian Open.<\/p>\n
