Known as Tomorrow’s Golf League, it will be played at an indoor arena with a virtual green which can be shifted and shaped into various courses.
Woods, 48, is part-owner of the Jupiter Links GC outfit he will represent.
“I have already shared my excitement and optimism for 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 both hail from Southern California.
The 33-year-old says it was his new teammate who inspired him to be a golfer.
“Following Tiger’s career is one of the main reasons that I became an avid golfer,” Homa said.
“I remember watching him win the 1997 Masters, and now getting to play alongside him has been amazing.”
Kim, 21, already has three PGA titles under his belt – he is the first player since Woods to win multiple events on the Tour before turning 21.
Kisner, who has been trying his hand at broadcasting 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 has been one of the things I’ll 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 when Tiger’s competitive fire kicks in, we are going to be ready to play and win.
“This is the perfect team to bring both fun and competition together at the same time. Can’t wait.”
