Kevin Kisner’s Bunker Blunder Steals Spotlight at TGL Match

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Kevin Kisner provided one of the most unforgettable moments of the TGL season on Jan. 26, 2025, when his bunker shot ricocheted off the flagstick in a comical mishap during a match between Tiger Woods‘ Jupiter Links GC and Los Angeles GC. The incident, which drew laughter from the crowd and even Woods himself, overshadowed Jupiter Links GC’s 12-1 defeat.

Kisner, known for his humor and resilience, took the blunder in stride. “It was just one of those weird nights,” Woods later remarked, calling it one of the funniest moments he had ever witnessed on the course. The mishap quickly went viral, with fans and fellow golfers sharing their reactions on social media.

Despite the lighthearted moment, Kisner’s performance has been under scrutiny. He missed the cut at The American Express earlier in the week and struggled during the TGL match. However, his entertainment value and camaraderie with teammates have kept him in the spotlight. Kisner was selected for the upcoming match against Rory McIlroy‘s Boston Common Golf team, replacing Max Homa, who withdrew from The American Express due to injury.

Homa, the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open champion, had hoped to replicate his success at the 2025 edition but faced a disastrous start. On the South Course’s first hole, his approach shot landed in a greenside bunker, leading to a triple-bogey 7. His struggles continued, finishing the front nine at 5-over par. Kisner, ever the jokester, couldn’t resist poking fun at Homa’s bunker woes.

Kisner’s antics have made him a fan favorite, blending humor with his four-time PGA Tour-winning pedigree. As he prepares for his next TGL match, all eyes will be on whether he can deliver both entertainment and performance on the course.
