At the turn of the year, TGL shares personal New Year’s resolutions from its star players before their match 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 about 1,600 spectators. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, each match features 15 holes split into two segments: nine holes played in alternating groups (‘Triples’) and six holes in head-to-head singles. The season includes five regular matches per team, followed by playoffs with semifinals and a best-of-three finals. Scoring is modeled after the NHL, including overtime bonuses.

New Year’s Resolutions from TGL Golf Stars

This unique stage brings well-known faces together on the course, and as the new season starts, the TGL offers insight into its players’ resolutions. These range from small, personal goals to more significant aspirations. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of stopping by Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts every morning. The coffee machine is ready, but he still needs to master its use. Billy Horschel aimed for something deeper: becoming 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 – a type who doesn’t need the spotlight. Horschel admired this stance. ‘We all wish we were Xander,’ he joked. Schauffele replied, ‘I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.’

Michael Thorbjornsen had one clear wish: to compete in more tournaments with Collin Morikawa. Morikawa liked the idea but hadn’t set a resolution himself yet. Sahith Theegala kept it short and straightforward: ‘Not get injured. Not play badly.’ And Justin Rose? He reflected on past failed resolutions and aims to do better this time: ‘No more years where I fail to keep my resolutions.’
