The newly formed Tomorrow’s Golf League (TGL) had its best match so far on Monday with Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Links claiming a 4-3 overtime victory against fellow co-founder Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common. After an impressive 31-foot birdie putt from Boston’s Adam Scott leveled the score at 3-3 on Hole 14, Tom Kim and Kevin Kisner won the nearest-the-pin shootout for the Links to record the tournament’s first ever OT win. “This is what we had envisioned for TGL, to have an experience like this, and I think we delivered,” said Woods after the 4-3 victory. “It couldn’t have been a more pleasurable display of golf and banter. Everyone in the audience was engaged. Hopefully, the viewership was engaged. We as players loved it.” The TGL, which has been spearheaded by Woods and McIlroy, sees teams of three face off across 15 holes at the 1,500-capacity SoFi Center in Florida. Hitting tee and approach shots into a simulator before moving to a real-life green, teams are awarded one point for each hole they win, and no points for a tie. “It was a great match all night, back and forth, and exactly what the league needed,” said McIlroy, per the BBC. “It’s been really cool to hear that a younger demographic, it’s resonated with them.
It’s the type of storybook ending worthy of legendary sports stars: a retirement tour around the league where you say farewell to all of the cities and fanbases you played for or against. That surely was the hope for one of basketball’s greatest ever point guards, Chris Paul.
