TGL Match 9 took place between Jupiter GC and the New York Golf Club. Tiger Woods, Kevin Kisner, and Tom Kim represented Jupiter GC, while New York GC featured Cameron Young, Rickie Fowler, and Matt Fitzpatrick in action.

On the 13th hole of the match, Tiger Woods asked his teammates about the distance to the flag. After hearing "99," he opted for a 56-degree sand wedge, and his ball landed just short of 100 yards. However, he soon realized that the correct distance was 199 yards, not 99. The 15-time major champion couldn't believe the mix-up and confirmed it with Kim and Kisner, who were left in splits.

"I heard you say 99, not 199," he said. "I heard 99 yards. Sorry, I grabbed my 56 and I hit 100 yards."

During the post-round interview, Woods reflected on the gaffe.

"That was one of the most embarrassing things to ever happen. I can't believe that just happened," he said in the presser.
