A star-making debut, but with a defeat, for Tiger Woods in ‘his’ technological league, the Tomorrow’s Golf League founded with Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy. Stadium lights, the song ‘Eye of the tiger’ as a soundtrack, the applause of his mother, his children, Serena Williams. And again: the roar of the crowd, arms raised to the sky. At the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the 15-time Major champion was greeted with a standing ovation and his entrance into the new green arena was triumphant. Yet the debut was ruined by the ‘debacle’ of his ‘Jupiter’, defeated 12-1 by the…

Even with just his appearance, there is an enormous…

January has been a wild ride for the golfing world! We’ve seen some massive news drops this time. Be it TGL’s skyrocketing debut viewership or the PGA Tour’s drastic fall. And not to mention LIV Golf’s major shakeup when former Eugenio Chacarra called out the organization for being dishonest. But things have just gotten started as two new big news have hit the greens again!

Did TGL meet your expectations? We believe the matches showcased a new side of golf with entertainment which no one expected. Even though there are two sides to it, one where fans like it, while the other where it has been criticized for the future of golf and the league. Till now, two matches at the TGL have already been aired and most of the viewers have made up their minds about what to expect exactly from the league. The first match, which averaged 919,000 viewers, saw the opposite reaction from fans after the debut of Tiger Woods and Co. The fans…

The highly anticipated debut of the GOAT ended with his team enduring a crushing defeat. The return of a legend did not go as planned, albeit through much anticipation. Former Stanford legend, Tiger Woods, had not played a single match of competitive golf since the 2024 Open Championship, with an injury-filled last couple of years forcing him to take on more of a part-time PGA tour schedule. But all that changed on Tuesday night when Woods made his highly anticipated TGL debut. The co-creator of the new interactive golf league, along with fellow PGA tour mate Rory McIlroy and business partner Mike…

TGL’s debut created a buzz, delivering a fresh, fast-paced take on golf with innovative rules and an energetic vibe unlike traditional tournaments. The SoFi Center brimmed with excitement even before the event began, but the occasion wasn’t without controversy. Reports emerged alleging that TGL used paid actors to fill the stands, offering them between $150 and $250 per event, along with free merchandise, to ensure the venue appeared lively and packed. These claims were later partially confirmed, adding a layer of intrigue to the league’s launch. Adam Freifeld, a spokesperson for TGL, acknowledged the arrangement, clarifying that the league utilized…

Greg Norman has officially stepped down as CEO and commissioner of LIV Golf – the Saudi-backed breakaway league he has helped to establish over the last few years Greg Norman proclaimed “LONG LIV GOLF” as he officially stepped down as the CEO of the Saudi-backed league. The 69-year-old has been instrumental in poaching top golfers like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Phil Mickelson from the PGA Tour to join the breakaway circuit since the inaugural season in 2022. Although he will no longer be at the helm, Norman will continue to be involved with LIV in a yet-to-be-determined capacity. In a statement, Norman congratulated…

What’s the latest talk of G-town? Well, you’d think it’s TGL, but surprisingly, it’s the Player Impact Program (PIP) money that’s got everyone buzzing. Tiger Woods topped the list, taking home a whopping $10 million, despite playing in only five PGA Tour events in 2024. This marks the third time Woods has finished atop the PIP rankings, solidifying his position as one of the most impactful players in golf. As impressive as this feat is, it’s worth noting that Woods’s total earnings from the PIP scheme are a staggering $45 million over the past four years. This raises eyebrows, especially considering his limited on-course…

Not to wake the dead or anything, but Charlie Woods and his dad Tiger Woods did come agonizingly close to taking home the top prize of $1.08 million at the 2024 PNC Championship, only to narrowly miss out to Bernhard Langer and his son Jason in a thrilling play-off.

Now the news has it that Charlie Woods is ready to make a comeback, and what better…

Turns out not even Tiger Woods is immune. Immune from son’s savage taunts. At 15, Charlie Woods might have a long way to go to catch up his father. But if there is one thing where he has already matched him (some would argue, exceeded) that’s smack talk. The world got an early glimpse of it at the PNC Championship few years back. Now, even the 82-time PGA Tour winner has to endure. Tiger Woods descended on the (indoor) greens at SoFi Center among rising applause. Survivor’s ‘Eye of Tiger’ was playing in the background. “Are you ready for this?”…
