TGL is all set to take center stage in the golf world. With an aim to explore innovative approaches to sports and entertainment, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s league now flaunts an experienced roaster. 

The new addition of names has created a lot of buzz among golf fans, and while some are celebrating, some seem to be disappointed by how the league has suspiciously left out some big names from the field. As the fans try to question the reason, the real truth surfaces. 

Why did the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland miss Tiger Woods’ TGL cut?

The full roster of Tiger Woods’ upcoming TGL is finally out. The team sheet was revealed by Nuclr Golf via Twitter on Tuesday, and the reactions to the list have been mixed. The list includes some names that are fairly new to the professional realm of golf, and this has left the golfing community divided about why some big names were left out. 

As per the final list, the roster now has a diverse field of 24 players, including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Tom Kim, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Adam Scott, Collin Morikawa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Billy Horschel, Justin Rose, Max Homa, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, Cameron Young, Sahith Theegala, Keegan Bradley, Lucas Glover, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee and Kevin Kisner. 

While the majority of the names on the list are of players who have been active on the greens lately, some of the additions do raise eyebrows because of the latest form of the players. But a recent revelation about their selection makes perfect sense.  

The list didn’t include the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland, and Tony Finau, who were all expected to be on the roster for sure. Nuclr Golf quoted the tweet and clarified logically why some of the players were left out. 

The Tweet claimed that many of the non-TGL players lived far away from the state of Florida, which is going to play host to the tech-infused league. It stated the example of Jordan Spieth, a Texas native, who’ll have to drive more than a thousand miles to play in the TGL events.

The desire to see Woods’s tech-based golf event has the community buzzing with excitement, especially after realizing how fun and unique the experience is going to be. 

What is Tiger Woods’ TGL’s format?

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL Golf League is going to feature a format with six teams, each comprising four players, making a total of 24 players in the league. From each of the six teams, only three players will participate in matches, with the fourth player considered a ‘resting’ player. The identified teams so far have been Los Angeles Golf Club, TGL Boston, Atlanta Drive GC, and TGL New York, with two more teams yet to be announced.
