TGL Season 2 kicks off with Atlanta vs. New York rematch

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 begins with a familiar showdown: Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club, the finalists of the previous season, face off once again on December 28. Atlanta narrowly won both final matches last season and enters the new campaign as defending champions. 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 start with three Hammers, with Atlanta teeing off first. The lineups include well-known names: Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele for New York; Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover, and Billy Horschel for Atlanta.

Atlanta Drive GC builds on proven strengths

Atlanta enters the new TGL season with strong stats from last year. The team excelled in Singles play, leading the league in Hammer points. Billy Horschel topped the league in Singles points won, Patrick Cantlay remained undefeated in Singles matches against New York, and Lucas Glover impressed with a flawless fairway hit rate. New York Golf Club bounced back from an 0–2 start to make the playoffs. Cameron Young led all players in total points and stood out with his powerful drives off the tee.

New season, new tech: TGL upgrades playing field

With the new season, TGL has made significant updates to its playing surface. The GreenZone has been expanded, allowing for more pin positions and varied putting lines. Additional actuators beneath the turf create dynamic contours, enhancing tactical possibilities. The hole catalog has also been updated, introducing new holes like Stone & Steeple, Stinger, and Cenote. Team-themed holes such as Fore-0-Fore for Atlanta and Big Apple for New York add a unique flavor. A total of 15 specially designed holes will be played.
