TGL golf results, takeaways: New league is fast, fun, not for everyone as The Bay defeats New York in debut
CBSN
The newest iteration of non-tour gol debuted Tuesday night in Florida, and initial reviews are positive but mixed
The first-ever TGL golf match is officially in the books ... and it was officially a blowout. Wyndham Clark, Shane Lowry and Ludvig Åberg of The Bay Golf Club took it to Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick of New York Golf Club to the tune of 9 to 2 for a resounding win at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
The Bay won the first nine-hole session of 3 vs. 3 alternate shot (Triples) 6 to 1 before holding serve in the second session of head-to-head matchups (Singles) 3 to 1, thus winning the 15-hole match with ease. All matches go the full length since season-long points factor into a potential year-end tiebreaker.
"It's absolutely amazing to see this come to fruition," TGL co-founder Rory McIlroy said on the ESPN broadcast. "It's incredible ... when the players really get into it, hopefully the audience at home can see that as well."
