Amid Escalating Ryder Cup Rumors, Tiger Woods Unexpectedly Recruits European Arch-Rivals Responsible For Team USA’s Humiliation in Rome

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy‘s TGL is all set to elevate golfing standards, charging attention as well-known figures from various sports spheres continue to join the league. The recent addition of retired golfer Michelle Wie West and USWNT member Alex Morgan, both investors in Serena Williams’ LACG, had the golfing community buzzing with anticipation. 

Now, fresh intrigue and excitement arise as three 2023 Ryder Cup nemeses from Team Europe, who charmed the golfing world with their skills on the Italian greens last weekend, get associated with Woods’ tech-forward golf league. Here’s a glimpse of these stellar players.

Tiger Woods’ TGL ropes are big names in the golf world

On Thursday, Nuclear Golf on Twitter reported breaking news of four new stars joining Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL, three of whom just finished their showdown in Rome.

As per reports, Team Europe players Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, and Tommy Fleetwood, along with Korean golfing pro Tom Kim, were spotted on the TGL website on October 5, which was associated with TGL’s new player addition.

The tweet further added that “videos for each player” were found on the TGL website that day, further proving that they had found their pace among the ranks of the tech-golf league. The addition of these four stars now brings the TGL roster to a total of 16 players, leaving room for only two PGA Tour stars!

The associated European stars showed their gameplay and camaraderie in Italy last weekend, with all three emerging as top-scoring players for Team Europe. Their addition to TGL has the fans wondering what awaits the players’ fate, considering Woods is rumored to be Team America’s Ryder Cup captain in the future.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the only viral TGL update of late; just last week, the league started down a path to partner with the $50 billion broadcasting giant, ESPN!

In a recent update, it was reported that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s virtual golf league had secured a major media rights agreement with ESPN, and the partnership between the two was expected to increase TGL’s consumer reach. An update on that news has further reported that ESPN’s prime spot is all reserved for Woods and McIlroy’s golf league’s inaugural match, and the showdown will air on ESPN and ESPN+ on January 9, followed by the second match a week later on the same platforms.

Currently, 16 PGA Tour stars (including the 4 recent additions), which include the likes of Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, and Woods and McIlroy themselves, have agreed to partake in TGL. The league’s unique exhibit, with all players wearing live microphones to give viewers access to the core competition, aims to bring innovation and excitement to golf fans.

The move towards TGL is seen as a response to the rise of LIV golf, with both leagues vying for viewer attention during stroke play events on weekends. Irrespective of the competition, PGA Tour players see TGL as a fun team option to balance with their regular tour schedules.
