At the turn of the year, the 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 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 facility seating around 1,600 fans. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, each match features 15 holes divided 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 including semifinals and a best-of-three final. Points are awarded following an NHL-style system, including overtime bonuses.

New Year’s Resolutions: Coffee, Character, and Commitment on the TGL Stage

This setting brings together familiar faces on the course, and as the new season begins, the TGL offers insight into its players’ resolutions – ranging from small personal goals to significant aspirations. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of visiting Starbucks or Dunkin’ every morning. The coffee machine is ready, just waiting for him to operate it. Billy Horschel aimed higher, aspiring to be a better version of himself, especially off the course.

Xander Schauffele Opts Out of Resolutions

Xander Schauffele kept it brief. “I don’t do that. I’m just me,” he said dryly – the type who needs no showmanship. Horschel was impressed, laughing, “We all wish to be Xander.” Schauffele replied coolly, “I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.”

Michael Thorbjornsen had a clear wish: more tournaments alongside Collin Morikawa. Morikawa liked the idea but had no resolution himself yet. Sahith Theegala kept it short and simple: “Stay healthy. Play well.” And Justin Rose? He reflected on past resolutions that didn’t stick and promised to approach this year differently: “No more years where I fail to keep my resolutions.”
