TGL Golf Stars Share Their New Year’s Resolutions Ahead of Season

At the turn of the year, TGL shares the New Year’s resolutions of its star players before their match day.

Entering its second season, TGL continues with its innovative approach: six teams, each with four top PGA Tour players, compete in a 3-on-3 format. Matches are played indoors at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a nearly 250,000-square-foot high-tech complex seating around 1,600 spectators. Instead of 18-hole classics, each match features 15 holes split into two sections: nine holes of team play (‘Triples’) and six holes of direct head-to-head singles. The season includes five regular matches per team, followed by playoffs with semifinals and a best-of-three final. Points are awarded in an NHL-style system, including overtime bonuses.

Coffee, Character, Consistency: TGL Reflects on New Year’s Resolutions

This arena brings well-known faces together, and to kick off the new season, TGL offers a glimpse into their players’ resolutions, ranging from small to significant personal goals. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of visiting Starbucks or Dunkin’ every morning. The machine is ready; he just needs to learn to operate it. Billy Horschel aimed for something more fundamental: becoming a better version of himself, especially off the course.

Xander Schauffele Prefers No Resolutions

Xander Schauffele kept it brief: ‘I don’t do that. I’m just me,’ he said dryly—no fuss needed. Horschel was impressed: ‘We all wish we were Xander,’ he said with a laugh. Schauffele replied flatly, ‘I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.’

Michael Thorbjornsen had a clear wish: to play more tournaments with Collin Morikawa, who liked the idea but had no resolution himself yet. Sahith Theegala was concise: ‘Don’t get injured. Don’t play poorly.’ And Justin Rose? He reflected on past resolutions that didn’t stick and vowed to do things differently this time: ‘No more years where I don’t keep my resolutions.’
