In an interview in the fall, Theegala recounted that he hit so many poor shots in a short stretch last year with the 7-iron that he asked his club maker, Ping, at the BMW Championship in the FedEx Cup Playoffs to scrape off the “7” on his club and put a different font of “8” on it. Ping then added lead tape to restore some balance.

The LAGC and Jupiter Links Golf Club teed off in Tiger Woods' first TGL match. Here are the best moments and highlights.

Theegala was raised in Chino Hills, and his L.A. teammate, Morikawa, was born in L.A. "It's been tough to see," said Homa, after Los Angeles Golf Club crushed Jupiter Links 12-1 at SoFi Center.

“It’s about time, Tiger,” tennis legend Serena Williams said on the ESPN broadcast. Williams is a longtime friend of Woods, so she found herself rooting for him — and she is part of the ownership group of the Los Angeles Golf Club, so she found herself simultaneously rooting against him.

Sahith Theegala is contributing $100 for every birdie and $250 for every eagle he makes this week at the Sony Open.

The lower Sahith Theegala goes at the Sony Open, the more money he'll donate towards wildfire relief efforts in the greater Los Angeles area.

The second match of the TGL season is here, as Tiger Woods and Jupiter Links takes on Collin Morikawa and Los Angeles.

But that was not enough as the Los Angeles Golf Club team of Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, and Sahith Theegala took the Tiger Woods Jupiter Link GC team to the proverbial woodshed with a 12-1 victory.
