tgl delivered a decisive result at 9: 00 p. m. ET Monday night at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as Los Angeles Golf Club beat New York Golf Club 6-3. The win secured a spot in the playoffs for Los Angeles and ended New York’s season. The match came in the middle of three straight days of action at the venue, with the regular season also entering its final week.
Los Angeles clinches while New York’s season ends
Los Angeles fielded Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and Collin Morikawa, while Sahith Theegala did not play. New York’s active lineup included Cameron Young, Rickie Fowler, and Matt Fitzpatrick, with Xander Schauffele sitting out.
The 6-3 final not only pushed Los Angeles into the postseason, it also finalized the outcome for New York: its season is over. The match took place Monday night, following Sunday’s closely contested game between Jupiter Links Golf Club and Boston Common Golf.
Tgl turning points: Rose and Fleetwood set the tone
Several moments shaped the path to Los Angeles’ win. On Hole 4, New York was forced to play from the bunker after a tough second shot by Matt Fitzpatrick. Cameron Young nearly holed a 22-foot attempt, leaving it just 11 inches from the cup, but the hole finished tied.
On Hole 7, Justin Rose nearly delivered a point on his own. His first shot stopped just over two feet from the hole, putting Los Angeles in position to score and take a 3-1 lead.
Tommy Fleetwood followed with a key approach on Hole 9, hitting a 78-yard shot that landed just under six feet from the pin. That set Los Angeles up to tie the hole and carry a 4-1 lead into the singles portion of the match.
New York rallies late, but falls short
New York trailed throughout the match but made it tense down the stretch. Entering the final hole, New York had pulled within one point.
The surge was punctuated on Hole 14, when Matt Fitzpatrick drained a putt from nearly 24 feet to cut Los Angeles’ lead to 4-3 and raise the stakes on Hole 15. Los Angeles ultimately held on to close out the match and the playoff berth.
Regular season ending this week with SoFi Cup stakes
The regular season ends this week, with three matches scheduled to wrap it up and the top four teams in the standings gaining entry into the SoFi Cup playoffs. Boston Common Golf (3-1) and Atlanta Drive Golf Club (3-2) have already clinched spots.
That leaves four teams still mathematically alive for the remaining two openings. Los Angeles Golf Club (2-2) leads the contenders with a 78 percent chance of getting in, and Monday night’s 6-3 result ensured it will be part of the playoff field.
What’s next as tgl heads to the finish
Attention now shifts to the remaining matches that will finalize seeding and complete the last open positions in the top four, with Boston able to earn the No. 1 seed if it wins Sunday night or loses in overtime. With the schedule closing fast and postseason places narrowing, tgl heads into its final regular-season stretch with every remaining match carrying immediate SoFi Cup consequences.
