'Big Cat about to eat' PGA Tour fans react to Tiger Woods' epic TGL entrance
'Aura overload': PGA Tour fans react as Tiger Woods strolls into the SoFi Center to take part in his first TGL match for Jupiter Links GC.
Tiger Woods has arrived at the SoFi Center to take part in his first TGL match of the season, and PGA Tour fans have been loving the swagger with which he brought into the arena.
Woods, 49, is the team captain of Jupiter Links GC, which also comprises Max Homa, Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim.
The rank outsiders to win TGL are taking on Los Angeles GC in the second match of the season tonight.
LA GC consists of Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood.
UPDATED:
All TGL matches consist of three-man teams, and so Kim is sitting out for Jupiter Links GC and Fleetwood on Los Angeles.
Kim is competing in this week's American Express on the PGA Tour.
Fleetwood is taking part in the DP World Tour's Dubai Desert Classic.

Watch:
The new indoor golf league for PGA Tour players only officially launched on 7 January.
The Bay GC trounced New York GC 9-2 in the first match.
TGL - Tomorrow Golf League - is the brainchild of both Woods, Rory McIlroy and their co-founder at TMRW Sports, Mike McCarley.
McIlroy's Boston Common GC will clash with Woods' Jupiter Links GC on 27 January.
It's fair to say that none of us can wait for that one in two weeks' time.

Woods was only able to participate in five events in 2024.
He had to WD during the second round of the Genesis Invitational in his first start of the season.
Woods then went on to miss the cut in three of the four majors.
He has already admitted he will have another limited playing schedule in 2025.
Woods will, however, expect to tee it up in all four majors once again should he have fully recovered from the sixth back surgery of his career that he underwent in September.
He was recently able to compete in a 36-hole scramble event at the PNC Championship alongside his son Charlie Woods.
Team Woods nearly won it too, narrowly losing out to Team Langer in a playoff.
It was another special week for the Woods family, especially after Charlie recorded his first-ever hole in one.
Tiger Woods arrives to take part in his first ever TGL match
'Tiger Woods is on property and getting loose for Week 2 of TGL," tweeted ESPN with a video of Woods strolling casually into the SoFi Center in his new Sun Day Red apparel.
Woods entered the TGL arena on Tuesday night wearing a backwards cap and snazzy black and red hoodie.
The former World No.1 initially had a smirk on his face, but then he appeared to look a bit more serious as the camera followed him into the stadium.
Woods opted for a customary red shirt along with white pants for his opening TGL match on Tuesday.
