Matthew Tkachuk is linking up with one of the greatest golfers of all-time.

The Florida Panthers forward met up with Tiger Woods on Monday at the TGL finals opener in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and even brought his gold medal from the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Tkachuk, a guest at the indoor golf event, also met up with professional golfer Justin Rose, who won his own gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

Rose is a member of Woods’s Jupiter Links golf team, competing in the finals early this week. Woods announced Monday he will play in Match 2 of the finals on Tuesday, which will mark his first competitive action of the season.
