Known as Tomorrow’s Golf League, it will be played in an indoor arena with a virtual green that can be moved and shaped into various fields.
Woods, 48, is co-owner of the company Jupiter Links GC which he will represent.
“I have previously shared my enthusiasm and optimism regarding TGL as a league and product,” Woods said.
“Now that we have finalized our roster with a team of world-class golfers, I am even more confident that this group will proudly represent the Jupiter area and connect with our fans for years to come.”
Homa and Woods are from Southern California.
The 33-year-old says it was his new teammate who inspired him to become a golfer.
“Following Tiger’s career is one of the main reasons I became an avid golfer,” Homa said.
“I remember watching him win the 1997 Masters and now playing alongside him has been incredible.”
Kim, 21, already has three PGA titles under his belt – he is the first player since Woods to win multiple Tour events before turning 21.
Kisner, who has been trying to broadcast with NBC Sports this year, brings veteran experience to the team.
“I feel very privileged to have played in the Tiger Era,” Kisner, 40, said in a statement.
“Having the opportunity to compete against and alongside the GOAT was one of the things I will remember most at the end of my career.
“While I know we will have a lot of fun as a team with me, Tiger, Max and Tom, I also know that when Tiger’s competitive fire kicks in, we will be ready to play and win.
“This is the perfect team to combine fun and competition at the same time. I can’t wait.”
