Tiger Woods mocks his golf skills after his team's disastrous TGL debut

Tiger Woods, one of the co-founders of TGL, didn't hold back while discussing his Jupiter Links Golf Club team's performance following their highly anticipated debut on January 7. After a rough night that saw the team lose 12 to 1 to Los Angeles, the 15-time major championship winner humorously reflected on his skills during the post-match press conference.

The World Golf Hall of Famer poked fun at his skills that led him to bag a whopping 82 titles on the PGA Tour. When asked what it was like to show off his stellar golf skills at a new venue, Woods replied (via TGL):

"Yeah, I don't know how much was evident today. I don't have any golf skills. Hey, this is a start of a new year. We had a great time. Hopefully people tuned in for the entire broadcast."

The 2019 Augusta Masters winner took a moment to highlight that even the world's best professional golfers struggle to perform sometimes. Woods also joked about his teammate Tom Kim, who did not play the match, and his feelings toward the team after a disappointing loss.

He said (via TGL):

"We were entertaining. We hit a lot of shots. I think the people here, they got to see how bad pros can be. It was just a boat race. Oh, my goodness. But we had a great time. What's our teammate Tom Kim thinking right now? Oh, my God."

Despite the rocky start to TGL's inaugural season, the Sun Day Red founder maintained his signature optimism. His demeanor highlighted TGL's main purpose - to create an incredible viewing experience for golf enthusiasts while the PGA Tour's best golfers engage in friendly competition. Woods' humor and lighthearted outlook undoubtedly made for a memorable evening at the SoFi Center in Florida for both fans and players alike.
