TGL is the tech-infused golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. And now they're sharing exactly what it is and how it works. The league says each match will be 15 holes involving three players from the four-man teams. The first nine holes will be alternate shot. The last six holes will be singles.
FILE - Justin Thomas reacts on the first tee as his ball goes right off the tee during his singles match at the Ryder Cup golf tournament at the Marco Simone Golf Club in Guidonia Montecelio, Italy, Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023. Thomas will be playing for Atlanta Drive GC in the new primetime television TGL League that starts in January.
Any match ending in a tie goes to overtime, similar to what amounts to penalty kicks in soccer. Each player goes head to head in a closest-to-the-pin competition. The concept — 15 holes, a mix of alternate shot and singles, the scoring system — is unlike anything else in golf. McCarley said it was developed through brainstorming involving him, Woods, McIlroy and their management groups.
From there, the next shot to the big screen will be played from either real fairway grass, rough or sand, depending on the accuracy of the tee shot. Once players get within 50 yards, they play actual shots to a green complex that is larger than four basketball courts. Justin Thomas on Tuesday was the first player assigned to a team — Atlanta Drive GC. More announcements are expected by the end of the week, and still to come is the sixth team.
