TGL attracts a lot of attention, but it is obvious that many things are not clear to the fans of this sport when it comes to the new project, whose creators are, among others, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods.
Two years have passed since it was announced that TGL would appear on the golf scene and present something completely different from everything we’ve seen so far. Judging by the forecasts and announcements, it seems that it will really be like that.
24 players divided into six teams will participate in this tournament, which is very reminiscent of LIV Golf, their ideas and visions.The leaders of the biggest Tour in the world want to push the boundaries and show that innovations are always welcome at the PGA.
Reading the reactions on social media, it is noticeable that some are not sure if any of the LIV golfers will perform here. Wanting to solve your dilemmas, we’ll confirm what was announced earlier: TGL will not have LIV golfers on the roster.
Namely, TGL has a partnership with the PGA Tour, and given that the players who are part of the Saudi-backed Tour are banned from the PGA tournament, they won’t have the opportunity to perform in this league.
An important element in this story, Rory McIlroy, is someone who fiercely criticized LIV golfers, imposing himself as the main ambassador of the PGA.
However, realizing over time that conflict and chaos in the world of golf do not bring positive things, the Northern Irishman decided to soften his stance, extending a hand to golfers from the rival Tour.
A lot of time has passed since then, and a framework agreement was even concluded between the PGA Tour and PIF. Negotiations are still ongoing, but there is less and less optimism that both sides will reach a final agreement, shaping the fate of this sport with joint forces.
Projects like this are probably one of the answers to LIV Golf that the PGA won’t silently observe the situation and leave the power to someone else. Whether this will improve the situation or not remains to be seen.
