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

Entering its second season, TGL continues its innovative format: six teams, each with 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 that seats around 1,600 spectators. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, each match consists of 15 holes split into two segments: nine holes played in alternate-shot triples and six holes played as singles. The season features five regular matches per team, followed by playoffs including semifinals and a best-of-three final. Points are awarded NHL-style, with bonuses for overtime.

Coffee, Character, Continuity: How TGL Approaches the New Year

This unique stage brings familiar faces together, and as the new season begins, TGL offers a glimpse into its players’ resolutions—ranging from small to significant personal goals. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of stopping by Starbucks or Dunkin’ every morning. The machine is ready; he just needs to operate it. Billy Horschel was more philosophical, aiming to become a better version of himself, especially off the course.

Xander Schauffele Prefers No Resolutions

Xander Schauffele kept it brief: “I don’t do resolutions. I’m just me,” he said dryly, a personality that doesn’t seek the spotlight. Horschel was impressed: “We’d all like to be Xander,” he laughed. Schauffele responded quietly, “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 hadn’t set a resolution yet. Sahith Theegala was concise: “Stay healthy. Don’t play badly.” Justin Rose reflected on past failed resolutions and vowed to do better this time: “No more years where I don’t keep my resolutions.”
