TGL kicks off new season with Atlanta vs. New York rematch

TGL launches its second season with a rematch between Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club at the SoFi Center.

The second TGL season begins with a familiar showdown, as Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club face off on December 28 in a rematch of last season’s final. Atlanta narrowly won both final matches by a single point and enters the new campaign as the reigning champion. Before the first tee shot, the championship banner will be raised to the rafters, followed by the match in the standard format featuring Triples and Singles segments. Both teams start with three Hammers, and Atlanta will tee off first. The lineups feature familiar names: Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele for New York; Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover, and Billy Horschel for Atlanta.

Atlanta Drive GC brings proven strengths

Atlanta Drive GC enters the new TGL season with strong metrics from last year. The team excelled in Singles play, scoring more Hammer points than any other team. Billy Horschel led the league in Singles points won, Patrick Cantlay remained undefeated in Singles matches against New York, and Lucas Glover impressed with a flawless fairway hit rate. New York Golf Club bounced back from an 0–2 start to make the playoffs, with Cameron Young leading all players in total points and showcasing his power off the tee.

New season, new tech enhancements

The TGL has also introduced technical upgrades for the new season. The GreenZone has been significantly expanded, offering more pin positions and varied putting lines. Additional actuators beneath the turf now allow for dynamic contour changes, increasing tactical options. The hole catalog has also been updated, with new holes like Stone & Steeple, Stinger, and Cenote making their debut. Team-themed holes such as Fore-0-Fore for Atlanta and Big Apple for New York round out the 15 custom-designed holes in play.
