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

Entering its second season, the TGL continues 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 fans. Instead of classic 18-hole rounds, each match features 15 holes split into two segments: nine holes of alternate-shot play (‘Triples’) and six holes of head-to-head singles. The season consists of five regular matches per team, followed by playoffs with semifinals and a best-of-three final. Scoring follows an NHL-inspired system, including overtime bonuses.

Coffee, Character, Continuity: TGL Reflects at the Year’s Start

This stage brings familiar faces together on the course, and as the new season begins, TGL offers insight into players’ resolutions—ranging from small personal habits to broader life goals. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: brewing coffee at home instead of stopping by Starbucks or Dunkin’ each morning. The machine is ready; the operator just needs to learn. Billy Horschel took a deeper stance, aiming to be 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—typical of someone who shuns the spotlight. Horschel admired the stance, joking, “We all wish we were Xander.” Schauffele responded, “I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.”

Michael Thorbjornsen had a clear wish: to play more tournaments with Collin Morikawa. Morikawa liked the idea but did not yet have a resolution himself. Sahith Theegala kept it short and straightforward: “Stay uninjured. Don’t play badly.” And Justin Rose? He reflected on past resolutions that went unfulfilled and vowed to do better this time – “No more years of breaking my resolutions.”
