Tiger Woods’ TGL has all the golfing world’s prioritized attention right now. The league has grabbed the best players on the greens who have an accumulated total of 32 major wins. The selected players are set to make their debut in Florida in January, and the audience cannot wait to see the stars in action.

While Woods’ tech-centric golfing league has gained positive recognition from all ends, some have also speculated that Rory McIlroy and Woods made the league not for their claims of introducing a new wave of golfing in the professional sports world but because they wanted to give Greg Norman’s LIV Golf a tough competition to establish itself. In this context, a famous American writer has added a new perspective to the conversation.

Alan Shipnuck’s take on Tiger Woods’ TGL vs. Greg Norman’s LIV Golf

Alan Shipnuck’s new book LIV and Let Die has uncovered a very controversial side of golf in the past few weeks. Ever since its release, the book has garnered attention for all the backstories it has revealed about some big incidents in the world of golf. 

In a recent Instagram post, @foreplaypod updated fans about a statement made by Alan Shipnuck about the golfing legend Tiger Woods. The post was a picture of Woods with a statement underneath that read, “LIV Golf gave Tiger Woods purpose.”

Shipnuck, in a bold statement, insinuated that LIV Golf’s inception was what made Woods launch a league of his own. The post was accompanied by the caption: “He did not have to take on this fight, but he did, and it meant so much to all the other guys loyal to the tour.” 

TGL has come across as a platform for many PGA Tour players to experience something out of the box with their profession. With the league just about to kick-start in some months, the surrounding noise has been pretty evident. Especially in relation to its rival, LIV Golf. 

The upcoming battle of the golfing titans

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL has finally come out with its dashing roster. The league aims at debuting 24 PGA Tour stars on the greens in 6 teams, meaning 4 players per team. While there have been no specific requirements to join the league, by its roster, it is pretty evident that the league is primarily designed just for PGA Tour players.

LIV Golf, TGL’s deemed rival, has been in the headlines for trying to make a swift leap into the golfing world as a mainstream professional league. While speculations about its future have the golfing world intrigued, its rivalry with TGL is what has kept the audience hooked. 

Both the leagues have their own plus points and ops. With TGL having Woods and McIlroy as its ambassadors, of course, the league is expected to have an impactful debut in the professional golfing realm. On the other hand, with LIV having already been here for nearly two years now, it does seem to have a slight advantage. 

Nonetheless, while these big entities fight on the course for the win, who do you think is going to stick around the longest?
