The Jupiter Links Golf Club team, consisting of the two players and Kevin Kisner (USA), defeated Boston Common Golf, whose team included Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Adam Scott (Australia), and Keegan Bradley (USA), 4-3 in overtime at the TGL screen golf league match held on the 27th (local time) at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA. This was their first win since suffering a heavy 1-12 loss at the Los Angeles Golf Club on the 14th. Their league record is now 1 win and 1 loss. It was Boston Common Golf's first match.

After the two teams were tied 3-3, the overtime was decided by the team that sent the ball closest to the pin from a 40-yard distance. Kim Joo-hyung and Kisner scored in the overtime. Kim, who did not participate in the first TGL match, contributed to the team's victory by hitting his tee shot on the 12th hole (par 3) within 60 cm of the hole and sending the ball close to the pin again in overtime. He also engaged with fans through several dynamic celebrations.

Woods did not hold back his praise for Kim Joo-hyung. Calling Kim "an excellent player," Woods said, "He is young, fearless, and has tremendous potential in golf." Woods added, "Kim not only has talent but also a unique personality. It is a pleasure to watch him." Jupiter Links Golf Club will play their third match against New York Golf Club on February 18.
