The controversial ticket prices of the TGL sparked an uproar from fans, who ridiculed them as outrageous. A few weeks back, the ambitious Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy project, TGL shared a glimpse at the cost of watching the matches directly at the SoFi Center. Fans got agitated when they learned that the tickets were going to be priced at $160 per match.

That didn’t keep them away from following the event to stay updated with everything that was going on. Now, the executives at TGL have tried to market their product again to justify the price of the tickets. Let’s see what the league has shared.

First look at Tiger Woods’s TGL

So far, only animated designs and blueprints of the TGL have been revealed. While the concept of TGL was quite clear, fans were yet to see what the course actually looked like. Well, that changed after a recent tweet went viral.

@NUCLRGOLF shared a tweet on their X account showcasing a video from TGL. Featuring Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay, the clip gave an inside view of the course at SoFi Center. The advertisement showed the duo from the Atlanta Drive GC TGL team entering the venue. After a few shots of the course, fans could see Justin Thomas hitting from the tee onto the virtual simulator screen. As Thomas introduced Patrick Cantlay, we can see the latter playing a stroke on the fairway. The video ended with Justin Thomas asking, “Any questions?”

The caption on the tweet read, “🚨👀📺 #FIRST LOOK — Inside the TGL’s SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. Do you plan on watching the virtual league when it kicks off in January?” It seems that TGL tried to build up the anticipation of the event. After the outrage over the ticket prices, the video seems like an attempt to excite the fans about the event and validate the preposterous prices.

But did the fans react the same way as TGL hoped? The comments on the post might give us a better idea of that.

Mixed emotions at display

Just a few hours in and the post has already witnessed a lot of reactions. A lot of fans showed their excitement about the arrival of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy‘s TGL. Talking about the exciting lineup of the event, @@ObiOneTwo3 said, “Yup it’s gonna be good but they gotta care, if it’s just meh and players don’t care then it won’t be good.” He also pointed out how the event would be a hit because of the players involved. @TheStroker83 said, “HELL YEAH. LFG NYGC” seemingly showing support for the New York Golf Club that features the likes of Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler, and Cameron Young. “I definitely will! 👀📺 Excited to see how the TGL unfolds in the SoFi Center! January can’t come soon enough!” said @Monica973333 as she showed interest in the unique concept of the league. Lastly, @GaiusDLuxus said, “Gotta be better than LIV” comparing the indoor tournament with the Saudi-based promotion.

On the other side of the table, there were a few fans who didn’t find the video exciting enough to convince them. @jefferyfong said, “Nah, I’d rather watch Bryson’s Youtube channel!!” as he acknowledged the amazing work Bryson DeChambleau is doing on his YouTube. @sweep_the_board claimed that “Nobody will be watching” while confirming that he himself is not going to be watching the event. @Bellyhungry already shared a bit of criticism about the concept as they said, “Unless there’s breakthrough in golf simulator technology, probably not.”

It seems that there are many fans who are still not convinced to watch TGL. It will be interesting to see what marketing strategy they come up with next to try and convince more people. What are your views about the TGL? Will you be watching it live? Let us know in the comments section!
