A New Golf League by Tiger Woods

This new golf league coming, and its kind of controversial. In August of 2022, golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy revealed their plans for a new golf league, known as TGL, but this league isn’t just another golf league like LIV. They say that this golf league is about “embracing cutting-edge technology” and “growing the popularity of the sport”. But is that really the case?

There’s a new golf league coming and it’s kind of controversial now I thought I’d be making this video about live but there’s just something so intriguing about Tiger Woods and Roy maro’s New Golf League the tgl tgl tgl tgl tgl okay so look at this in August of 2022 golf

Legends Tiger Woods and Rory mroy revealed their plans for a new golf league known as tgl but this league isn’t just another Golf League like Liv they say that the tgl is about embracing Cutting Edge technology and growing the popularity of the sport but is that

Really the case so I thought what better to do than explain how this all works the tgl is set to kickoff on January 9th of 2024 with 24 players forming six teams of four but what’s even more interesting is that Tiger Woods and Roy mroy themselves will be part of this

League and the season is going to go like this it’s going to feature 15 matches and then of playoffs the matches are going to be 2 hours long and are scheduled to air on Monday and Tuesday nights with a live audience one of the unique aspects of the tgl is the

Integration of tech with live action what this means is that players players are going to use simulators to hit full shots while short game shots will be happening live in front of fans holes 1-9 will be 3v3 team alternate shot kind of setup this means that players on each

Team will alternate taking shots then holes 10 through 15 will be singles with players alternating every hole there’s actually a bunch more other rules but it’s not worth going over in this video so think team golf that may be real or maybe a simulation depending on multiple

Factors all the players will also be miked up so that they can say some stuff that will go viral on Tik Tok basically we’re watching them chitchat and virtual golf and I guess people were so interested in this that ESPN decided to secure the broadcasting rights for it announcing a multi-year partnership with

The tgl and this isn’t anything new for ESPN if you remember ESPN and Riot games agreed to a multi-year deal to broadcast the North American League of Legends championship series this was on ESPN plus back in 2018 and with the Disney own sports media giant thinking about

What their next move is going to be it might make sense to take the gamble on new sports formats like this featuring the biggest stars in the game remember Espin is just a Content company so anything that generates them more views and more eyeballs on social media and

Anything that helps them increase the funnel of people towards ESPN plus and that’s all they really care about now the setting for all this is the Sofi Center not to be confused with the LA Ram Sofi Stadium this Sofi Center is a brand new Arena that’s built just for

The tgl it’s on the Palm Beach State campus in Florida the league will feature six teams each with three PGA Tour players here are the teams the Atlanta Drive owned by Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank Boston common golf owned by way Sports Group who also own

Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox and a bunch of other sports teams Jupiter Lynx Golf Club out of Jupiter Florida owned by Tiger Woods and David Blitzer he’s the managing partner of the private Equity company Blackstone and also the Philadelphia 76ers there’s also the Los Angeles Golf Club owned by Serena and

Venus Williams along with Reddit co-founder Alexis ohanyan there’s tgl New York owned by the New York Mets owner Steve Cohen as well as tjl San Francisco owned by Steph Curry and former Milwaukee Bucks owner Mark claz so you can just see this is just an insane lineup of investors and some of

The biggest names in the PGA Tour have already agreed to join this I mentioned Tiger Woods and Rory mroy but you also have people like Colin morawa Ricky Fowler Justin Rose and much more okay great but didn’t we just see these two critides live golf like crazy over the

Last year or so I mean Tiger Woods himself said some of the stuff I’ve seen in live I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on here it’s very simple here meaning the new tgl league but some people are critical of this entire situation because if you remember the

PGA Tour wasn’t letting it players playing tournaments by live golf but is now actively encouraging players to play in the tgl but some people point out that the hypocrisy is very real between how the PGA handled its situation with Liv And how it’s dealing with the tgl so

In order to truly understand the criticism behind the tgl we got to take a look at live because it is so integral in the story of where golf is heading over the next few years so live golf emerged on the professional golf scene in 2021 establishing itself as a

Formidable rival to the PGA Tour it’s financed by the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia and live golf golf has faced criticism for alleged sportswashing this is when Nations use Sports to enhance their image because well who doesn’t like sports sports brings people together so you can ignore

All of the problematic things about a country but let’s not act like this is anything new we could make an entire video of Nations using Sports to enhance their image Western ones included anyways despite this Liv says that it offers enhanced opportunities rather than serving purely political motives

Notably Liv golf has successfully lured top tier players such as Dustin Johnson Phil Mickelson and Brooks Kea with ridiculous contracts reportedly reaching the hundreds of millions of dollars the League’s main appeal in the beginning were these substantial Financial incentives but there are also some unique features of live for example

Events include a 54 hole format without a cut which deviates from the PGA Tour standard 72 hole format with a cut after two rounds live golf also introduced a unique team format where 12 teams each with four players competed against one another but despite all this they still

Face challenges in viewership both in TV and online some factors contributing to this included the leaks novelty its association with Saudi and the entrenched competition with the PGA Tour and during this time the PGA Tour openly criticized live golf going as far as suspending players who opted to jump

Ship and join the Rival League Liv golf reportedly offered Tiger Woods an absurd amount of money but he refused to take the offer the PGA Tour then argued that live golf posed a threat to the competitive landscape of professional golf and this sparked controversy over the perceived overreach and monopolistic

Tendencies of the PGA Tours Authority with all that being said in a surprise Rising turn of events Liv Golf and the PGA Tour announc their intention to merge together which is kind of weird considering everything that the PGA Tour said about live now whether this merger will actually end up happening Still

Remains to be seen so the future trajectory is uncertain but all of this brings us to now in January the tgl will have its first event it’s for sure unique mixing an Esports likee format with legendary golfers and similarly to live golf billionaires pumping their money into it but here’s the thing it

Seems like the PGA Tour and big golf stars are suddenly cool with this even though they were all up in the air with Liv just a few months and years ago which to many people who have no problem with Liv seems kind of hypocritical now despite this drama the tgl will probably

Crush it on social media with ESPN posting an ungodly amount of clips of Tiger Woods miked up so while we can go back and forth criticizing Liv the PGA Tour these athletes or this new league it doesn’t matter at all at the end of the day the billionaires will still get

Us to tune in and watch and that’s the reality thanks for watching this video subscribe and did you know that American football is Germany’s second most popular sport and Germany is actually NFL’s number one European market yeah it’s not the UK like you might have thought watch this video to learn how
