Top 5 OWGR-Ranked Pros Whom Tiger Woods Failed To Recruit for His TGL Golf

A lot of new changes are taking place in the life of Tiger Woods. It’s been almost three months since he became the sixth player director of the PGA Tour policy board. His league, the TGL, is also not far from kicking off. This league will rival LIV Golf. It has created a huge buzz in the golf world.

There are six teams in the league having four players each. That means in all there are 24 players. Some of the top names in the golfing world are going to feature in the league. Be that as it may, a few notable names have missed out, including the world number one.

Big names miss the TGL bus!

 The following are the 24 players: Woods, McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick, Keegan Bradley, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Adam Scott, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa, Cameron Young, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, Rickie Fowler, Tom Kim, Sahith Theegala, Billy Horschel, Patrick Cantlay, Wyndham Clark, Kevin Kisner, Min Woo Lee and Lucas Glover. 

The list is quite impressive, isn’t it? But there are still a few important golfers who missed the TGL bus. Let’s check them out.

Scottie Scheffler: The world number one finished in tied sixth place in the Tour Championship. But in the Ryder Cup, the veteran was seen struggling with his gameplay. He also broke down after a record defeat in the Saturday foursomes.

Viktor Hovland: Viktor Hovland, the fourth-ranked player, played terrific this year at the Ryder Cup. The Tour Championship winner, as per reports, has declined the request to play in the TGL.

Brian Harman: The ninth-place holder on the OWGR won the last major of the PGA Tour, the Open Championship. He had been in good form for the large part of the season with seven top-ten finishes.

Jordan Spieth: While his best friend Justin Thomas will play in the league, the world number 13 will not be seen in action. The golfer didn’t have any triumphs throughout the season but had eight top-ten finishes. 

Brooks Koepka: Brooks Koepka currently stands in the 17th position in the OWGR. He recently won the LIV event in Jeddah. And, altogether, he has had a great season, with the PGA Championship to his name and being the only LIV golfer to play in the Ryder Cup. But since he plays for LIV, it’s no surprise Koepka won’t be seen in action.
