Tiger Woods Penalized First for Shot Clock Violation in TGL History

In a notable moment during the TGL match on Monday night, Tiger Woods became the first player in the league's history to receive a shot clock violation. This occurred when he took too long to make an eight-foot putt, resulting in an automatic one-stroke penalty that allowed his opponent, Rory McIlroy, to score a birdie without contest. Despite this setback, Woods and his team, Jupiter Links, managed to win the match against McIlroy's Boston Common in a sudden-death pitch-off after the teams were tied at the end of regulation. Woods expressed frustration over the violation, attributing it to his pre-shot routine of calming his heart rate, which took longer than usual. The match marked a redemption for Woods and Jupiter Links, following a previous heavy defeat in their season opener. Overall, the innovative TGL format continues to generate excitement and unique challenges for its players.
