At the turn of the year, TGL reveals the New Year’s resolutions of its star players before their match.
The TGL enters its second season, continuing its innovative format: six teams, each with four top PGA Tour players, compete in a 3-on-3 match play format. Matches take place indoors at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a nearly 250,000 square-foot high-tech complex with seating for about 1,600 fans. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, matches consist of 15 holes split into two segments: nine holes in a team alternate-shot format (“Triples”) and six holes in direct singles match play. The season features five regular matches per team, followed by playoffs including semifinals and a best-of-three final. Points are awarded following an NHL-style system, including overtime bonuses.
Coffee, Character, Continuity: TGL Player Resolutions for the New Year
This stage brings familiar faces together on the course, and at the start of the new season, TGL shares insight into the personal New Year’s resolutions of its players. The resolutions range from small habits to significant personal goals. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of visiting Starbucks or Dunkin’ each morning. The coffee machine is ready, but the operator still needs to get used to it. Billy Horschel aimed deeper, striving to become a better version of himself, especially off the golf course.
Xander Schauffele Prefers No Resolution at All
Xander Schauffele kept it brief: “I don’t do those. I just am who I am,” he said dryly—typical of someone who doesn’t need a show. Horschel was impressed, saying with a laugh, “We’d all like to be Xander.” Schauffele replied dryly: “I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.”

Michael Thorbjornsen expressed a clear wish: to compete in more tournaments alongside Collin Morikawa. Morikawa liked the idea but didn’t have a resolution ready himself. Sahith Theegala kept it simple: “Stay healthy. Don’t play badly.” And Justin Rose? He reflected on past resolutions that never stuck and pledged to do better this year: “No more years where I don’t keep my resolutions.”
