It’s time for the TGL playoffs, and the second season features two new teams in the mix for the SoFi Cup.
Both Boston Common Golf and Jupiter Links GC earned their way into the playoffs for the first time — with Boston Common securing the No. 1 seed thanks to a stellar regular season — and will face each other in the second of two semifinals matches.
Atlanta Drive GC is looking to defend its title from the first season and they take on Los Angeles Golf Club in the first semifinal match.
Here’s everything else you need to know about the TGL semifinal double-header, set for Tuesday.
The matches
Atlanta Drive GC: Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel, Chris Gotterup (sitting: Justin Thomas, Lucas Glover) vs. Los Angeles Golf Club: Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala, Tommy Fleetwood (sitting: Collin Morikawa)
Boston Common Golf: Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott (sitting: Hideki Matsuyama) vs. Jupiter Links GC: Max Homa, Akshay Bhatia, Tom Kim (sitting: Tiger Woods, Kevin Kisner)
Notes
• Atlanta Drive returns to the playoffs looking to defend their SoFi Cup title from Season 1, while Los Angeles Golf Club is looking to make it to the finals for the first time.
• Atlanta won the Season 1 matchup between the two teams 6-5 in overtime, while Los Angeles defeated Atlanta 7-3 in Season 2.
• Both teams enter the playoffs with identical 3-2 regular season records and it should be a tightly contested affair.
• Atlanta has the edge in singles while Los Angeles excelled in triples through the regular season.
• Los Angeles has the edge off the tee, while Atlanta has a statistical advantage in putting.
• This is the second match of the season for the lineup of Horschel, Cantlay and Gotterup for Atlanta. Gotterup won two of his first three PGA Tour starts in 2026 and will play his second consecutive match as an alternate for Atlanta.
• Morikawa is not teeing it up for Los Angeles after he withdrew after one hole at The Players Championship last week after injuring his back.
• Both Jupiter Links and Boston Common are making their first TGL playoff appearances. The two teams have split their regular-season meetings over the last two seasons and both matches have gone to overtime.
• Boston Common led the regular season in a handful of key statistical categories — driving accuracy, driving distance and greens in regulation — while also leading TGL in triples holes won and triples points won
• Boston completed a worst-to-first effort in the regular season as it went winless in Season 1 and missed the playoffs and, for Season 2, entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed.
• Jupiter Links grabbed the final playoff spot after erasing a 6-3 deficit scoring six points in the final three holes, including a Kim ace on No. 14.
• Jupiter Links dominated TGL this season in singles points won and singles holes won, while also winning the most hammers.
• Bhatia will tee it up for Jupiter Links as an alternate once again but comes into the playoffs after his big win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational (a Signature Event on the PGA Tour schedule).
• McIlroy was a bit of a question mark for this week after withdrawing from the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to a back injury and arriving late at The Players. He was asked Sunday night about teeing it up at TGL and said then he hadn’t made a decision yet. Obviously, he’s good to go.

How it works
• Triples: nine holes – three players per team competing in an alternate-shot format.
• Singles: six holes – one-on-one, head-to-head competition for the entire hole. Each player from each team plays a total of two full holes during the session.
• Overtime: if the match is tied after 15 holes, the teams will play a best-of-three, closest-to-the-pin competition to decide the winner, with the hole location and orientation of the green remaining unchanged from the final/15th hole of the match.
• The shot distance in OT will be between 25-50 yards and decided pre-match by the match official. All players will play from the same spot. The ball must finish on the putting surface to be eligible.
Points distribution
For each match, teams can be awarded up to two points towards their regular-season total based on the following:
• Win in regulation = 2 points
• Win in overtime = 2 points
• Loss in overtime = 1 point
• Loss in regulation = 0 points
