At the turn of the year, TGL shares personal New Year’s resolutions of its star players before their match day.

Entering its second season, 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 venue seating around 1,600 spectators. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, matches consist of 15 holes divided into two segments: nine holes of alternate-shot triples and six holes of singles. The season comprises five regular encounters per team, followed by playoffs including semifinals and a best-of-three final. Scoring follows an NHL-inspired system, including overtime bonuses.

New Year’s Resolutions: Coffee, Character, and Continuity in TGL

This platform brings familiar faces together on the course, and at the start of the new season, TGL offers a glimpse into the personal New Year’s resolutions of its players, ranging from small to significant goals. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach: making coffee at home instead of visiting Starbucks or Dunkin’ daily. The coffee machine is ready; the operator just needs to learn the ropes. Billy Horschel went more fundamental, 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 that. I’m just me,” he said dryly – the type who needs no show. Horschel was impressed: “We would all like to be Xander,” he said laughing. Schauffele replied flatly: “I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.”

Michael Thorbjornsen had a clear wish: more tournaments alongside Collin Morikawa, who liked the idea but hadn’t set any resolutions yet. Sahith Theegala kept it simple and direct: “Stay injury-free. Don’t play badly.” And Justin Rose? He reflected on past resolutions that never stuck and vowed to approach things differently this year: “No more years where I fail to keep my resolutions.”
