The TGL reaches its fourth week, and it’s set to be the most anticipated since the opener, as co-founders of the tech-infused contest, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, come up against each other for their respective teams.
Woods’ Jupiter Links GC faced Los Angeles Golf Club in week two – a light-hearted affair that saw the West Coast team thrash the 15-time Major winner’s line-up 12-1 at the SoFi Center in Florida.
That lived up to Los Angeles‘ pre-season billing as overall favorites for the inaugural title, while Jupiter Links were the lowest-ranked of the six teams.
Given the nature of the defeat, Woods and co will be eager to make amends this week, and they’re up against a somewhat unknown quantity in the last team to make its TGL bow, with the match taking place on Monday 27 January.
As ever, the action will take place over 15 holes with the two line-ups of three driving into a 64-foot by 46-foot simulator and utilizing three virtual greens and 3,800 square feet of putting space.
The opening nine holes will see each team compete in an alternate shot format before they face an opponent over two holes through the remaining six holes of singles.
Overall, there will be 15 regular season matches in the inaugural TGL season with each team playing the other five once in a round-robin system.
While Jupiter Links is making its second appearance, there is one change to the line-up from the first match, with Tom Kim stepping into the three-player team in place of Max Homa.
As for Boston Common, joining four-time Major winner McIlroy is Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley and 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott.
While Boston Common are the only team yet to play, it’s not long until we’ll see them in action again – they are also playing next week against Los Angeles.
Eventually, all six teams will have played each other once, before the top four teams reach the semifinals stage. The two winners then progress to the finals, which will be played on 24 and 25 March as they compete for the SoFi Cup.
