Tiger Woods returned to competition on Tuesday, two weeks after the death of his mother, while Jupiter Links Golf Club lost 10-3 against the New York Golf Club in the TGL.
The major winner at 15 times, who founded the partial partial league alongside Rory McILroy, was released alongside the 16 -year -old son Charlie before the event at the Sofi Center, where Kultida Woods watched her son play for the last time January 27.
Woods withdrew from the Genesis Invitational last week, telling Scott Van de l’Espn before Tuesday’s TGL event that he always worked through his emotions.
“It’s a process,” he said. “It was the last time she watched me play, so it was a bit emotional to come here tonight.
“(Cadressates) Kis (Kevin Kisner) and TK (Tom Kim), they made me huge hugs.”
Woods also thought about the support of her mother for her career in golf: “She was a hard woman. Very disciplined, very hard. She was very direct on her feelings, her emotions – she would make you know anyway.
“But she has always been so favorable to what I am there and that I played. It was incredible.
Jupiter experienced difficulties on Tuesday, New York, collected three points on the first three holes – more than the team had succeeded during its first two combined games.
From this moment, Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young never looked back, stretching New York’s advance at 8-0 after eight holes while the first goal of New York Mets, Pete Alonso and the Legend of Yankees, CC Sabathia, watched from the stands.
The 9th and 10th holes saw Jupiter back up three points, but a mixture for Woods on Hole 13 summed up the team’s game.
After a starting blow left Woods at 199 yards of the hole, Caddy Rob McNamara told him “99”, dropping the first issue as is often the case when the Caddies feel that the footage is obvious.
Woods then chose a corner and struck his next 99 yards shot – 100 shy target shy – inciting Kisner and Kim to die for laughter.
“I heard 99 yards, and so I went there and I hit him 100 meters,” smiles Woods thereafter. “One of the most embarrassing moments of my golf career has just happened!”
It is unlikely that Jupiter will be easier for Jupiter in his next event, with the team that should face the Bay Golf Club, which is undefeated and leads the League on February 25.
New York is the next in action against Los Angeles on February 24.
