Rickie fowler, Cameron Young, and Matt Fitzpatrick led the charge for NYGC, securing a commanding 1-2 start through the first three matches. Conversely,Woods’ team,including Tom Kim,Kevin Kisner,and JLGC, slipped to the same record after their previous victory over Boston common Golf.
Notably, Tuesday marked Woods’ return to golf after missing last week’s Genesis Invitational following the passing of his mother, Kultida Woods.
“It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my golfing career.” Woods quipped on the ESPN broadcast about the distance miscalculation, which drew laughter from his teammates.
While the match ultimately went in NYGC’s favor, the dynamic format and new “Hammer” rule kept the competition exciting.
The TGL format differs from conventional golf in several ways. Teams compete in triples for the first nine holes, wiht teammates alternating shots. After the first nine holes, the final six holes are one-hole singles matches.
The “Hammer” rule adds an extra layer of strategy. Each team receives three “Hammers” which can be used to increase the value of a hole from one point to three.
JKGC’s first moment of momentum came after a slow start.Kim sank a putt on the final hole of triples to close the gap to 8-2
Despite Woods winning the first one-hole singles point with a birdie, Fowler quickly responded with a birdie of his own, solidifying NYGC’s led.
TGL’s entertaining style and unique format have kept golf in the spotlight during the week, attracting attention even outside of tournament weeks.this inaugural TGL season is proving to be a fresh and exciting take on the sport, offering a dynamic viewing experience and providing players with new challenges and opportunities.

Thank you.We approached the TGL format by strategizing as a team, focusing on our strengths, and embracing the unique dynamics.

The “hammer” rule adds an exciting layer of strategy. We used our Hammers tactically, frequently enough saving them for crucial moments or potential hole-outs. It’s a thrilling tool that can change the momentum of a match instantly.

It’s always an honor to compete against Tiger. He’s a legend of the sport, and his presence elevates any event. Despite the score, his team played well, and we’re excited to face them again throughout the TGL season.

TGL is proving that golf can be innovative, exciting, and appealing to a wider audience. By introducing new formats, strategic elements, and enhanced viewing experiences through technology, we’re bringing fresh energy to the sport. I believe it’s only going to grow from here.
