TGL
Tiger Woods didn’t play Tuesday night time when he and Rory McIlroy’s much-ballyhooed simulator golf league, TGL, lastly took flight to combined opinions.
After all, the 15-time main champion was in attendance to observe his and McIlroy’s imaginative and prescient come to life at SoFi Heart in Palm Seashore Gardens, Fla. Woods watched because the Bay Golf Membership washed New York Golf Membership 9-2, and he even gave a bland, CEO-style broadcast sales space interview mid-game. (By no means change skilled golf.)
However whereas Woods didn’t tee it up Tuesday night time — his debut comes subsequent Tuesday — he has unsurprisingly already hit the perfect shot within the TGL’s quick historical past.
A video posted by TGL’s X account confirmed Woods detailing to McIlroy and TGL CEO and co-founder Mike McCarley how he hit the small digital camera above the enormous simulator display screen on the primary strive.
Golf followers will now discuss of the TGL digital camera shot in the identical breath as Woods’ chip-in birdie on the 2005 Masters and his putt to ship the 2008 U.S. Open to a playoff. I child, however seeing The Cat in motion is all the time cool, regardless of the setting.
As for the TGL, its debut concerned a rule change that followers liked, some company activations, an unneeded interview with DJ Khaled, and a few poor golf from New York Golf Membership (Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele).
The most effective factor going for TGL on night time one was the tempo of play, the gamers being invested in each shot and getting to point out some extra of their personalities, and that — good or unhealthy — it made golf followers really feel one thing which is all too uncommon exterior of the 4 majors and the Ryder Cup.
Time will inform if TGL can maintain individuals or if the curiosity fades after Woods and McIlory each make their debuts within the coming weeks.
