Jupiter Links GC vs. Atlanta Drive GC: TGL Picks, Predictions and Odds

There is just one regular season match left in the inaugural TGL campaign with Jupiter Links GC, who can't qualify for the playoffs, take on Atlanta Drive GC.

It has been a disappointing TGL debut for Jupiter, who have won just one of their four matches and sit fifth in the standings, kept off the bottom by Boston Common Golf.

Atlanta head into this clash sitting third in the table and safe in the knowledge they have already secured a playoff place, although they can still jump into second with a big victory.

The playoffs will begin on March 17 at 7 PM ET on ESPN2, with a single-elimination format used for the semifinals before the remaining two teams contest a 'best-of-three' Finals Series.

Los Angeles Golf Club, The Bay, Atlanta Drive and New York have already been confirmed as the four teams that will contest the playoffs, with Jupiter and Boston Common left to lick their wounds after a disappointing tournament.

Jupiter Links GC vs. Atlanta Drive GC betting picks and predictions

Jupiter Links GC to win (+137)

Atlanta Drive holds a slim chance of finishing second in the table, but they need an +11 hole win differential over Jupiter and that looks unlikely given the most number of holes won by a team in a single match so far is nine.

Even if Atlanta manages to pull that remarkable victory off, it wouldn't change the opponent they will be facing in the semifinals as that is guaranteed to be The Bay no matter what.

The other last-four encounter will see No.1 seed Los Angeles Golf Club, who collected nine points from five matches, go up against No.4 seed New York, who won 22 holes but managed just five points in total.

Atlanta's team selection heading into this final regular season game gives an indication of how much they are valuing a win, with both Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay sitting this one out.

Instead, they go with the trio of Billy Horschel, Lucas Glover and Nick Dunlap, who will make his debut after signing a one-match contract.

As for Jupiter, they go with Tom Kim, Max Homa and Tiger Woods, with the latter hoping to sign off the inaugural TGL campaign with a victory.

South Korean Kim is a fierce competitor and he will want to end the tournament with his pride intact, while the same can also be said of his teammates, Homa and Woods.

Kim's form has been mixed this season but he was tied-seventh at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and he is one of those players that can turn it on when required, especially when it comes to match play.

Homa needs to find a spark from somewhere after a couple of missed cuts and given there is no pressure on Jupiter here, he could spark into life.

Woods' CV speaks for itself and the dogged determination that has helped him battle through numerous injuries in recent years can help him lead his side to glory.

This isn't to say that things will be easy for Jupiter against two experienced heads in Horschel and Glover and one of America's rising stars, Dunlap.

But Atlanta already knows they have qualified for the playoffs and with very little riding on this match, it would be no surprise to see them take their foot off the gas.

Jupiter Links GC to take the lead first (+120)

Atlanta's trio have never played together in the TGL and that lack of camaraderie could see them struggle to get any real momentum going.

While Jupiter are already eliminated from the playoffs, pride is at stake for them and they will be eager to put on a show for the crowd at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

With Atlanta's new addition, 21-year-old Dunlap, potentially feeling the nerves early doors and taking some time to settle, Jupiter could take advantage of the situation and move into the lead first.
