Jupiter Links Strikes Back: Tiger's Squad Earns First Win

It took until February, but Jupiter Links GC finally found the win column. And they did it against the hottest team in the TGL.

The 8-6 victory over Atlanta Drive GC on Monday night wasn't just a result; it was a proof of concept for Tiger Woods.

Tactical Adjustments: Fixing the "Clock"

In their first two losses, Jupiter Links looked rushed. The shot clock (40 seconds) created panic, leading to poor pre-shot routines. Against Atlanta, we saw a different team.

• Delegated Reads: Instead of Tiger double-checking every putt, Max Homa took ownership of the green reading. This saved an average of 8 seconds per putt, allowing the striker to settle.
• The "Timeout" Strategy: Woods used his team's timeouts defensively, breaking Atlanta's momentum on the pivotal 12th hole when the Drive were threatening to equalize.

Why This Matters for Adare Manor

We analyze TGL not just for the tech, but for the captaincy signals. Tiger Woods is auditing his own leadership style in real-time.

1. Adaptability: He recognized his team's flaw (time management) and fixed it within a week.
2. Trust: By letting Homa and Tom Kim take charge of specific zones, he showed he can delegate—a trait he struggled with in previous team leadership roles (e.g., Presidents Cup 2019 where he played himself almost too much).

The Road Ahead

At 1-2, Jupiter Links is still climbing out of a hole. But Monday proved that when they play with tactical discipline, the talent (Woods, Homa, Kim) is overwhelming. The "Super Team" has finally arrived.
