TGL’s biggest technology ISSUESE is not what you think it is, says Rory Mcilroy

Monday evening match TGL Between Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf and Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links delivered the best start league match to date and potentially showed them the formula for long -term success.

But high -tech simulator League still has to iron kinks, try new ideas and form an identity.

The biggest question TGL faced during the first month – out “which song will Tiger come out?” – was about the technology of the simulator, high -tech green AND the integrity of both.

The full swing simulator attracted some confused reactions from Woods, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner during their first TGL match. The green complex has also posed problems as the good ones have not been able not to keep 20 feet 4-6 meters in front of the hole.

But according to Mcilroy, one of the co-founders of the League, the biggest issue with the game is not the simulator screen or the green-are bunkers.

“So in the arena as the night goes on and say that moisture falls there, they have to water the sand quite play, but after we get there, it starts drying out,” Mcilroy said on Tuesday during his interview in front of the tournament for the tournament for AT&T Pebble Beach pro-am. “So the bunker shot I hit last night, yes, it felt like my club was crossing flour instead of going through the sand.

“Look, these are all the things you learn in the flight. This is a beginning. Are four weeks old. We have had time to prepare and have done everything we can, but it is a learning process as we continue. I think every week, it’s a little better. I definitely think last night was the best so far. Hopefully, we just continue to improve as we continue. “

Mcilroy admitted that he had some questions about the integrity of TGL technology, but a practical pre -match session eliminated his concerns.

“Wise technicals and smart numbers, I’ve had the same concerns, I think, just from me I had not definitely played a match,” Mcilroy said. “I entered there on Wednesday and brought two other departure monitors with me. I brought my gc quad, brought my tracker. Of course, hitting balls on the screen and every number was virtually identical. This put my concerns in bed, which was really good. “

The big champion four times admitted that it is an adjustment for the good to be hit on a screen instead of a live target, which can explain some of the farthest shots we have seen during the first month of TGL.

This can be chosen if players believe that technology will read the type of purpose properly and the ball will respond accordingly.

“I think the big thing for us is you are hitting on a screen,” Mcilroy said. “Obvious is definitely a big screen, but when you are playing out, you have some kind of connection with the target, right? that you want to do.

“Adam (Scott) was there for the first time on Saturday, and I was there with her. I said you really should try to treat this as if you play out because you hit it in the right half of the screen and of Try to hit a draw, how will you come back. the biggest we play there, the more we will get used to it and we will be quiet.

Mcilroy’s ordinary Boston golf will turn into action next Tuesday against Los Angeles Golf Club.

TGL will be in the back of the combustion for the rest of the week, though, as Mcilroy seems to help PGA Tour come out of its slow start to the regular season with a good show in the first event of signature of the season. The tournament can use that juice as much as bunkers in TGL need moisture.
