TGL has been a success in year 1, but a possible issue of Play off approaches

With just a week left in its first regular season, TGL, Simulator Golf League co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory Mcilroy, has been a success.

After more than a year Hype, the high -tech venture faced high expectations under an even greater attention when debuting in January.

The beginning was with bumps. There were technology issues (this is still being processed), the matches were mostly blows and the entertainment was immersed after bachelors started. However, the benefit of being a beginner is the ability to fit quickly. TGL has made it on some fronts. They have reduced the slope of high -tech green, confused with the distance of tee boxes to reduce simulator issues and changed the “Hammer” rules to give matches a different competitive wrinkle.

As a result, the last weeks of TGL have shown the best what the championship might be. Matches have been competitive, Golf is better done As the players have understood technology, the stars have fully bought and is Attracting interest from a wide swath of people.

With Play -off on the deck, TGL is beautifully set for a great season second that can see the league expand and bring more of the best players in the world. Tony Finau just played a contract with a match for the Los Angeles Golf Club and withdrew for the experience. Jason Day and Brooks Koepka (who knows what the future of reunification) has been present. The league should also consider the addition of LPGA players while they look at the future.

A strong Play off season would do the miracles of the League as it seems to capitalize at its new moment. There is only one problem: two largest TGL needle movers are currently in Outside of Play off with a match to go.

While TGL seems to be building in a Krescedo at the end of its inaugural season, it would benefit greatly from the leagues that both Woods and Mcilroy teams at Play off.

This will no longer be possible after the Los Angeles Golf Club, Bay Golf and Atlanta Drive have all Play off points with a week to go. It leaves a place between the New York Golf Club, the Mcilroy Golf Boston Golf and Jupiter of Woods’.

The Mcilroy team still won’t win a match and will face New York in its season final. Jupiter has only one victory in the match, which was an overtime win over Boston Common. At the moment, New York is in fourth place and has won more holes in the season than Boston and New York. If Boston Rrah New York, will have to hope that Jupiter will lose in Atlanta and end up with more holes earned than New York. Jupiter needs a victory over Atlanta and New York to lose in the regulation.

The League would benefit from the rich Mcilroy and/or Woods in a Play Off. This would lead more eyes in the final weeks of the product. Having play -off without any of the biggest golf names would be disappointing. (If that were the 1990s NBA, David Stern would put the big toes on the scale to find a way to get Marquee names in play off to increase interest.)

The connection will need competitive, high -level matches to balance the scales in the absence of Mcilroy and Woods. For the credit of other stars, matches that have not included Boston and Jupiter have been some of the best moments of the late TGL.

Billy Horschel, WynDham Clark, Justin Thomas, Justin Rose and other golf characters have begun to shine in a competitive team format that is different from the week -old tour of Grind i PGA Tour. Spray on the constant lift of the Ludwig Aberg star, and the TGL must be able to end strong.

It is just not how they would have attracted it to the TMRW sports board.
