Rory McIlroy and his idol, Tiger Woods, have been part of the PGA tour for years now. With the ongoing LIV Golf drama, they have vehemently opposed the Saudi-funded tour. Woods also happened to reject their multi-million dollar offer.

These teams will be made of the top PGA Tour players. The play will begin in January 2024. 

The first look of the tour

TGL posted a sneak peak into the tour on Twitter, and people went nuts swamping the comment section with their views.

If we take the intention and efforts into consideration, the idea behind the tour is good. The entry of LIV Golf posed as a threat to the PGA tour, with prominent players leaving the PGA for better offers. Woods and Rory understood the sensitivity of the situation and, hence, went ahead with this initiative.

The future seems bright with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL

Golf lovers and prominent golf figures took twitter and supported TGL wholeheartedly. They said they have hopes for it and it is indeed going to be interesting.

People said that this can be the beginning of something new. Some people have left it on time. And they see it not as a competitor of LIV, but as a promoter of golf.

Some fans have also expressed their love and happiness about Woods getting back into the game as they will get to see him more.

In fact, some fans took this opportunity to share LIV’s reaction upon the launch of TGL.

TGL is doomed for failure?

Like every coin has two sides, there were some fans who didn’t think it was a good idea after all. According to them, TGL has no future…

Along with ‘no future’ perspective, the biggest turnoff for the people was the simulator. Fans did not approve of the fact of watching golfers play in a simulator.

Not just this, some fans also trolled Woods and his decision to start TGL as they saw nothing productive out of it.

We certainly do not know what the future holds. All we can do is wait and see if TGL will live up to the expectations of Woods and Rory or it will be dumped. One thing is for sure, the simulator is something that real golf lovers are not appreciating because they like watching the game live on the course…but, technology is steadily growing. The Metaverse is here, so TGL can actually, in the near future, become a great initiative.
