Tiger, Team Jupiter Links fall to Morikawa, Team L.A. in TGL

It wasn’t just Charlie Woods chuckling at Jupiter Links’ play. Tiger Woods was as well — especially when Kisner bladed a shot from the sand and sent it ricocheting off the pin as his teammates ducked for cover.

Tiger, Team Jupiter Links fall to Morikawa, Team L.A. in TGL

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Tiger Woods was the sixth and final player to emerge from the tunnel and onto the field of play for his TGL debut Tuesday night.Woods’ team got on the wrong side of the scoreboard quickly, falling behind 5-0. It could have been worse if Woods hadn’t made an 8-footer for par to help his team get a tie on the fifth hole. That putt came one hole after Woods slid a 7-footer wide to the left.The final score: Los Angeles 12, Jupiter 1 in the 15-hole, made-for-TV team match featuring nine holes of alternate shot triples play, followed by six holes of singles play — two holes for each player on each team. Woods was smiling throughout, even with the lopsided score. The format is such that he took only 20 shots over the course of the match, which lasted just over two hours.2 RelatedApologies to all simulators worldwide. We failed u tonight

Homa apologized to the technology.”It is a reality now,” Woods said.”We honestly didn’t think that anyone could possibly get hit in here,” Woods said.”This is unique. This is something that golf has never seen before,” Woods said. “You have an arena like this and you out there with great guys, entertain everyone, just have fun.””It’s about time, Tiger,” tennis legend Serena Williams said on the ESPN broadcast. Williams is a longtime friend of Woods, so she found herself rooting for him — and she is part of the ownership group of the Los Angeles Golf Club, so she found herself simultaneously rooting against him.”We were entertaining,” Woods said, still laughing even after the rout ended inside the arena built just a few miles from his Jupiter Island home. “We hit a lot of shots. I think the people there got to see how bad pros can be. It was just a boat race, oh my goodness. But we had a great time.”Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.There were vintage Woods moments, like staring down shots he liked as the super-high-tech videoboards told the tale of where the ball would have gone outdoors. There were also frustrating ones; he shook his head after he sent a 101-yard wedge into the water on the second hole of the 15-hole match — as his son, Charlie, sitting in one of the seats in the arena overlooking the course, couldn’t help but laugh.Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” blared and that was more than enough of an introduction for perhaps golf’s greatest player. It’s not like anyone inside SoFi Center at Palm Beach State College didn’t know who Woods was, and most were even probably aware of how he, Rory McIlroy and others spent years trying to make this notion of indoor golf on TV happen.

No one announced his name. Wasn’t necessary.”It’s so wild,” Williams said. “It’s something that you see a little bit in tennis. We see it all the time in basketball, right? We don’t really see it so much in golf. Actually, we never see that in golf. It’s so good to kind of see their personalities and see them shine as golfers. … It’s so cool to see a new aspect.”Physically, he said he felt fine. As far as the golf: “The walking’s not the issue. My game’s not any good,” Woods said.The golf might be a hit. Woods was hoping viewers watched until the end; Homa suggested that Duke fans would still be watching, since the Blue Devils were playing Miami on ESPN after the golf ended. And Woods, who walked with his son in a tournament last month, looked like he was physically sound — at least in the sense that he didn’t seem to be holding anything back while swinging.Williams sat in the Los Angeles box just to the right of the players’ teeing areas, enjoying the spectacle of the walk-out introductions, light and smoke shows and booming music.

As a Design Program Management Intern at Adobe through the SAMI Program (Student-Athlete Micro Internship), Blair Jefferson had the incredible opportunity to gain real-world, hands-on experience in a corporate environment. She worked closely with her manager and team, and was able to learn, grow, and take ownership of her own project—an experience that has already made a lasting impact on her professional development.

“One of the most memorable highlights so far was attending the Adobe Intern Summit in California at the company’s headquarters,” said Jefferson. “It was an unforgettable experience filled with learning, inspiration, and a true sense of community. I even had the chance to connect with two amazing WSSU alumnae—my former teammate Olivia Stephens and Dominique Graves—which made the experience even more meaningful.”

“I’m extremely grateful to the SAMI Program, especially Travarus Fauntleroy and his team, for their continuous mentorship and support. I also want to thank Winston-Salem State University for opening this door and empowering student-athletes like me to thrive beyond the field.”

This journey has already been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to continue learning, contributing, and growing throughout the rest of the summer.

NORMAL, Ill. – Returning a veteran squad that brings back eight players that started at least nine matches last season in addition to enrolling the top-rated recruiting class in program history, Illinois State volleyball head coach Allie Matters has put together a challenging 2025 schedule to test the ISU squad, featuring six schools that played in last season’s NCAA Tournament, three that played in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC), four from power-four conferences, and an 11-match home schedule featuring three schools from power conferences.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to share our preseason schedule with our Redbird fans,” said Matters. “This will be a tough slate for us, and I have full confidence that this roster will rise to the challenge. We are lucky to be situated geographically where volleyball is so competitive, we don’t have to travel very far to play in big matches. We are most looking forward to hosting a very talented trio of teams in our Linda Herman Invitational at CEFCU Arena. Our fans will witness high-level volleyball and an extremely competitive environment. With returning most of our offense, while sprinkling in some new transfers and freshmen, we are eager to get the season underway.”

Prior to the official start of the season, ISU will host its annual Red/White scrimmage on Thursday, August 14, and then travel to Charleston, Illinois, for an exhibition match at Eastern Illinois University on August 23 in which the Redbirds will help open the new Panther volleyball facility.

With the preseason events concluded, the regular season opens in Kalamazoo, Michigan, at the Western Michigan Tournament. The Redbirds open at 2 p.m. on Friday, August 29 against BIG EAST member and 2024 NIVC quarterfinalist DePaul, before coming back a day later to battle the reigning Mid-American Conference Champion Western Michigan Broncos at 5 p.m. The tournament concludes on Sunday, August 31 against the Oakland Grizzlies at 11 a.m.

The following weekend the team travels west to Coralville, Iowa, to compete in the Hawkeye Invitational. The tournament will open for ISU against the Loyola Ramblers, who advanced to the second round of last season’s NCAA Tournament, with a first serve coming on September 4 at 3 p.m. The next day, on Friday, September 5, the Redbirds will face off against tournament host and Big Ten opponent Iowa at 6 p.m. The tournament finale will be played on Saturday, September 6 against BIG EAST foe Butler at 11 a.m.

From September 12-14 ISU will host the Linda Herman Classic, named in honor of longtime volleyball head coach and ISU Percy Family Hall of Fame inductee Linda Herman. The tournament opens on Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. as the Cincinnati Bearcats and the University of Illinois face off inside CEFCU Arena, and that match is followed by the Redbirds taking on the Miami Hurricanes, a team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. A day later the Hurricanes and Illini will meet at noon on Saturday, September 13, with the Redbirds taking on Big 12 member Cincinnati at 4 p.m. The tournament concludes with an in-state match-up with the Illini at 2 p.m. Last season Illinois advanced to the NCAA Tournament, falling in the opening round.

The pre-MVC slate closes in Dayton, Ohio, at the 2025 Dayton Flyer Invitational. The tournament opens on Friday, September 19 when the Redbirds face off against UC Santa Barbara at 10 a.m., before coming back later that day to face off against Wright State at 4 p.m. Last season the Raiders advanced to the NIVC, and the meeting with WSU is the first since Matters left the school to become the head coach at Illinois State. The tournament concludes on Saturday, September 20 at noon against the host Flyers, who went 31-3 last season, sweeping their A-10 schedule before advancing to the NCAA Tournament.

The following weekend, September 26 and 27, the Redbirds will be on the road at Indiana State and at Bradley to open play in the 16-game MVC season, with the conference season culminating at the 2025 MVC Tournament.
