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

Entering its second season, the TGL continues with its innovative approach: six teams, each featuring 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 with seating for around 1,600 spectators. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, each match features 15 holes split into two parts: nine holes played in a team format (‘Triples’) and six holes in direct singles matchups. The season consists of 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 bonuses for overtime.

Coffee, Character, Continuity: TGL Players Reflect on New Year

This stage brings together familiar faces on the course. As the new season begins, TGL offers insight into the personal New Year’s resolutions of its players, ranging from small habits to significant goals. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of visiting Starbucks or Dunkin’ every morning. The coffee machine is set up, but the operator is still needed. Billy Horschel’s resolution is more fundamental: to become a better version of himself, especially off the course.

Xander Schauffele Prefers No Resolutions

Xander Schauffele kept it simple: “I don’t do that. I’m just me,” he said dryly – the kind of player who doesn’t need a show. Horschel was impressed: “We’d all like to be Xander,” he joked. Schauffele responded dryly: “I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.”

Michael Thorbjornsen had a clear wish: more tournaments with Collin Morikawa. Morikawa liked the idea but didn’t have a resolution of his own yet. Sahith Theegala was succinct: “Stay injury-free. Don’t play badly.” And Justin Rose? He reflected on past resolutions that hadn’t worked and wants to change that this time. “No more years where I don’t keep my resolutions.”
