The Golf League (TGL) is a project that has been announced for a long time. Although they should have started with this project much earlier, the unpredictable circumstances spoiled their plans. TGL was created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and is already attracting a lot of attention.
24 PGA Tour stars, well-known names in the world of golf, will be part of this competition. It is interesting to point out that well-known figures from the world of sports also decided to invest money in this project, believing that this story has a perspective.
Basketball stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are just some of the famous names. Athletes who have been part of the big scene for years will certainly not make hasty moves, and most have no doubt that McIlroy and Woods’ idea can become a big story in the future.
Wyndham Clark, a popular athlete, stressed in an interview with the media how great it is that the two of them are the creators of this idea, especially because Rory and Tiger have great connections with people from other sports. Clark is especially looking forward to Steph Curry coming to watch them on TGL. Collaborations like this raise optimism among all parties.
“I think we have the coolest owners, that’s for sure. And the cool thing is there’s going to be some really cool crossover things that we’re going to do where we’ll go to basketball games and watch Steph play.
And Steph will come and watch us play at TGL. So there’s some fun stuff that we’re going to do and some great collaborations that I think just makes it even more exciting and fun.”Wyndham Clark said, as quoted by MIRROR.

It can be seen in recent years that there is an increasing trend of cooperation between sportsmen, and also of friendship. Considering that many sports invest huge amounts of money in promoting their ideas all over the planet, most people are becoming interested in sports that they have not followed until now. The owners of Golf Tours also bring in huge amounts of money, wanting to promote their story in every corner of the planet. Such things did not go unnoticed by famous names, who consider golf projects interesting.
Wyndham Clark highlights that it’s a great thing when athletes work together, feeling that being a golfer is fun at the moment. He is particularly impressed because NBA stars want to invest money in a sport that may not have aroused their interest until now.
“It’s always great when you get other sports collaborating together because it just shows how fun it is to be a professional golfer and that we all enjoy this game of golf. And it’s awesome that guys like Steph and Klay are really taking that to another level by sponsoring and endorsing a team for TGL.”
Can Rory McIlroy make it a success at TGL?
The Northern Irishman will be the main figure in this story, we have no doubt about that, especially since Tiger Woods is injured.
A few weeks ago, Rory McIlroy pointed out how excited he is about the new chapter in his career, as he wants TGL to become one of the most exciting things in the world of sports. The Northern Irishman admits that he is nervous, having high expectations for this story. The 34-year-old golfer will also be part of TGL and will have a double responsibility. Rory wants to show his qualities at this competition, but he is aware that he will have fierce competition and a difficult task.
“I get nervous all the time, especially when it’s something that you really care about,” he said. “I was nervous on Tuesday night before starting. I get nervous quite a bit.
I’m a competitor at the end of the day, and I want to make sure that when I step in that arena that I’m as prepared as possible. And I’m obviously playing for a team and I want that team to win. That’s a big part of it, too.”
TGL will start working on January 7, and there will certainly be many challenges and obstacles ahead of them. Rory McIlroy, frustrated by the happenings in the world of golf, knew that he had to make some moves in order to help not only the PGA Tour but also golf to evolve and arouse the interest of all golf fans, especially the younger ones.
TGL will be a revolution in the world of sports, with technological innovations and a specific format. We have no doubt that this format will offer us what we wanted. Are you equally optimistic about this, or do you think that golf is not a sport that is open to innovation?
