The new TGL season gets underway tonight (Sunday 28 December), with a blockbuster championship rematch between Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club.
TGL is the innovative, tech-driven golf league created by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and TMRW Sports co-founder Mike McCarley, blending elite players, team match play and a fast-paced indoor format at the purpose-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Championship rematch to open the season
Atlanta and New York renew their rivalry after meeting in last season’s final, where Atlanta Drive GC lifted the SoFi Cup.
Atlanta sealed the title by winning the first two matches in the best-of-three final series, including a memorable comeback in Match Two. Trailing 3-0 after 11 holes, Atlanta turned the contest on its head thanks to clutch shots from Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Justin Thomas.
Atlanta return as defending champions tonight, although they will be without Justin Thomas, who is sidelined after undergoing back surgery in November.

Teams can also deploy a tactical “hammer”, which increases the value of a hole by one point. Each side has three hammers per match.
If a hole is tied, no points are awarded. Should the match finish level, the winner is decided by a closest-to-the-pin shootout.
