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

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 high-tech facility spanning nearly 250,000 square feet, seating around 1,600 spectators. Instead of traditional 18-hole rounds, each match includes 15 holes divided into two segments: nine holes in alternating ‘Triples’ play and six holes of direct ‘Singles’ face-offs. The season features five regular matches per team, followed by playoffs with semifinals and best-of-three finals. Scoring is inspired by the NHL, including overtime bonuses.

New Year’s Resolutions Reflect TGL’s Unique Spirit

This stage brings well-known faces together on the course, and at the season’s start, TGL offers a glimpse into their players’ resolutions, ranging from small personal goals to significant life changes. Chris Gotterup took a practical approach with a resolution to brew coffee at home instead of visiting Starbucks or Dunkin’ daily. His coffee machine is ready; he just needs to learn to operate it. Billy Horschel aimed for self-improvement, aspiring to be 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 am just me,” he said dryly, embodying a no-fuss attitude. Horschel admired this, joking, “We would all like to be Xander.” Schauffele deadpanned back, “I don’t know… maybe you’d be happier.”

Michael Thorbjornsen expressed a clear wish: to compete in more tournaments alongside Collin Morikawa, who liked the idea but had no resolution himself yet. Sahith Theegala kept it simple: “Not get injured. Not play badly.” Justin Rose reflected on past resolutions that failed and vowed to do better this time: “No more years where I don’t keep my resolutions.”
