Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are in charge of the technology-based league. The first games will be played on January 9 at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Six teams of four PGA Tour players will play indoor games on a computer in this brand-new venue.
What Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa, result
But two months before start, no one knows who will be on the teams. As of now, only Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa have signed with a team. The first person will play at Atlanta Drive GC. He is a close friend of Tiger Woods.
Even though the two-time USPGA champion didn’t make it to the FedEx Cup playoffs, he is still a big name on the PGA Tour. “Some of the biggest sports events in the country have been held in Atlanta and the state of Georgia,” American said in a statement. “I’m excited to represent the fans there.”
It makes sense for them to work with an owner like Arthur Blank and his huge range of businesses as they grow their golf business. I promise that our team will have fun while working hard to win titles. We will do our best to promote Atlanta and help the game grow all over the world through this unique event. Arthur Blank and AMB Sports and Entertainment own Atlanta Drive GC. AMB Sports and Entertainment also runs the Atlanta Falcons (US Football), Atlanta United (MLS Football), and the PGA Tour Superstores. Collin Morikawa signed with the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) on Wednesday. Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, and Serena and Venus Williams own the team.
Partner of the club are basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo, soccer player Alex Morgan and her husband Servando Carrasco, and tennis player Michelle Wie West. “I am proud and thrilled to be the first player for Los Angeles Golf Club,” the Californian said. “The TGL has the chance to get new golf fans and get people excited about the game,” he said.
