At the turn of the year, TGL reveals the New Year’s resolutions of its star players before their match day.With its second season underway, the TGL continues its innovative approach: six teams, each with four top PGA Tour players, compete in a 3-on-3 format. Played indoors at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a nearly 250,000-square-foot high-tech complex with room for around 1,600 spectators, matches consist of 15 holes divided into two segments: nine holes in a team rotation (‘Triples’) and six in direct head-to-head play (‘Singles’). The season includes five regular encounters per team, followed by playoffs featuring semifinals and a best-of-three final. Points are awarded NHL-style – including overtime bonuses.

Coffee, Character, Continuity: TGL’s Take on New Year’s

This stage brings familiar faces together on the course as, at the start of the new season, TGL offers a glimpse into the players’ resolutions. These range from small, personal goals to larger aspirations. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: brewing coffee at home instead of grabbing Starbucks or Dunkin’s every morning. The machine is ready; mastering it is the next step. Billy Horschel was more fundamental, aiming to be a better version of himself, especially off the golf course.

Xander Schauffele Prefers No Resolutions

Xander Schauffele kept it short: ‘I don’t do that. I’m just me,’ he said dryly – the kind of person who doesn’t need a show. Horschel was impressed: ‘We all wish we were Xander,’ he laughed. Schauffele replied dryly: ‘I’m not sure… maybe you’d be happier.’

Michael Thorbjornsen expressed a clear wish: more tournaments with Collin Morikawa. Morikawa liked the idea but didn’t have a resolution yet. Sahith Theegala was brief and clear: ‘Not to get injured. Not to play badly.’ And Justin Rose? He recalled past resolutions that never worked – and vowed to do better this time: ‘No more years where I don’t keep my resolutions.’
