February TGL Watch: Tiger's Jupiter Links Needs a Spark

February is "Moving Month" in the TGL, and no team needs a move more than Jupiter Links GC.

Led by Tiger Woods, the team has stumbled out of the gate. On February 2, they face the high-powered Atlanta Drive GC.

The Matchup: Desperation vs. Firepower

Jupiter Links: Diagnosis of a Slow Start

As analyzed in our previous coverage, Jupiter Links has looked disjointed. The issues are specific and fixable, but they must be addressed immediately:

1. Clock Management: Several times in January, Tiger's squad was rushed against the shot clock. In TGL, 40 seconds vanishes quickly. This led to rushed routines and poor execution.
2. Green Reading: The dynamic green technology requires a specific kind of visualization. Max Homa has struggled to marry the projected line with his speed.
3. Tiger's Rust: The "Big Cat" hasn't looked fully comfortable trusting the launch numbers. He needs to play instinctually, not mechanically.

Atlanta Drive: The Aggressors

• Strategy: Atlanta has been the most aggressive team in the league. They attack pins regardless of the "Safety Zone" penalty areas.
• Key Player: Keep an eye on their approach stats (Proximity to Hole). If they are dialed in, Jupiter Links cannot play defensively.

High Stakes for the League

For the TGL ecosystem to thrive, its biggest team (Jupiter) needs to be competitive. A loss here would put them in a deep hole, potentially missing the playoffs in Year 2.

Tactical Key: Watch the "Hammer" use. Jupiter needs to save their Hammer bonus for the final singles session. In previous matches, they burned it too early on 50/50 putts. Against Atlanta, they need that advantage coming down the stretch.

Expect a Woods team that is more disciplined, faster in their routine, and desperate for a "W."
