TGL opens its second season with a rematch between Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club at the SoFi Center.
The second TGL season kicks off with a familiar showdown. On December 28, Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club face off once again after meeting in last season’s final. Atlanta narrowly won both final matches by a single point and enters the new season as the reigning champion. Before the first tee shot, the championship banner will be raised to the rafters, followed by the match in the familiar format featuring Triples and Singles segments. Both teams begin with three Hammers, with Atlanta teeing off first. The lineups feature well-known names: Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele for New York, and Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover, and Billy Horschel for Atlanta.
Atlanta Drive GC brings proven strengths
Atlanta Drive GC enters the new TGL season with strong metrics from last year. The team excelled in Singles play, scoring the most Hammer points league-wide. Billy Horschel led the league in Singles points won, Patrick Cantlay remained undefeated in Singles matches against New York, and Lucas Glover impressed with a perfect fairway hit rate. New York Golf Club bounced back from an 0–2 start to make the playoffs, with Cameron Young leading all players in points and showcasing his power off the tee.
New season, new course dynamics
The TGL has introduced several technical changes for the new season. The GreenZone has been significantly enlarged, allowing for more pin positions and varied putting lines. Additional actuators beneath the turf now enable adjustable contours, expanding tactical possibilities. The hole catalog has also been updated, with new holes like Stone & Steeple, Stinger, and Cenote making their debut. The course also includes team-themed holes such as Fore-0-Fore for Atlanta and Big Apple for New York. A total of 15 specially designed holes will be played.
