Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Cameron Young have recently been appointed to a TGL team, which consists of PGA Tour celebrities.
The line-up for another team in Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods’ Tomorrow Golf League has been officially announced.
The high-tech league planned to begin indoors on January 9, 2024. However, the facility in Florida where it was supposed to take place, the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, suffered damage as a result of a power failure.
Part of the roof caved in, but fortunately no one was injured in the incident.
It was recently announced that TGL’s initial games will be broadcasted on the first three Tuesdays of January 2025 on ESPN and ESPN+.
The team rosters are now slowly starting to fill up and, at the time of publication, only Woods’ teammates and the San Francisco-based outfit haven’t been announced.
On Tuesday, TGL confirmed PGA Tour stars Cameron Young, Xander Schauffele, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Rickie Fowler will be the quartet representing New York Golf Club.
American hedge-fund manager Steve Cohen is the owner of the team.
Billionaire Cohen, 67, who is also the majority owner of MLB’s New York Mets, said: “New Yorkers expect and deserve the best, and we couldn’t be more excited to have four of the best players in the world serve as an extension of the thriving golf and sporting culture of our city and region.”
He added: “Rickie, Xander, Matt, and Cameron’s unwavering dedication to the sport, successful track records, and passion for winning is undisputable, and we look forward to watching them compete on golf’s newest stage.”
Woods mentioned earlier will be part of a team known as Jupiter Links GC. The rest of his teammates have not been finalized.
McIlroy is set to participate in the Boston Common Golf event alongside Tyrrell Hatton, Adam Scott, and Keegan Bradley. There is uncertainty surrounding Hatton’s future with TGL following his decision to join LIV Golf for the 2024 season.
McIlroy expressed his desire for the Englishman to remain involved in the project.
