Justin Rose Drains First TGL Albatross as Los Angeles Golf Club Defeats Jupiter Links 8-4

The rare double eagle in the tech-driven indoor league punctuated a result that moved LA to 1-1, with Jupiter falling to 0-2.

Overview

  • Rose holed his second shot from about 225 yards on the par-5 Sterling (Hole 10) for an albatross, the first in TGL history and the first of his career.
  • Collin Morikawa buried a 17-foot putt on No. 14, after which Los Angeles deployed the Hammer to double the hole’s value and push the lead to 7-4 before closing out 8-4.
  • The match featured TGL’s swingable scoring, including strategic Hammer calls that doubled points, across triples and singles play at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
  • Tiger Woods, a TGL co-founder and Jupiter Links member, watched from the sidelines as he continues recovery from back surgery.
  • Albatrosses are exceptionally rare in elite golf, with the PGA Tour recording 140 since 1983, underscoring the significance of Rose’s shot.
