Amidst all the worries and chaos, Tiger Woods recently came up with a rather positive TGL update and even teased the unveiling of the three golfers who would join Mr.T’s team in the tech league.
Who are the three PGA Tour players joining Woods’s TGL team?
One of the main attractions of the league is its team format. TGL will have 24 PGA Tour players, who will be divided into 6 teams of four members each. The teams are named after six different cities, which are Atlanta Drive GC, Boston Common Golf, Los Angeles GC, New York GC, TGL San Francisco, and lastly Tiger Woods’s team, Jupiter Links GC.
The team is named after the Treasure Coast of Florida, Jupiter, which is renowned for its lighthouse, beautiful beaches, and best-in-class golf. Currently, it’s only Woods on the roster of the team. However, it looks like the other three members will soon be revealed, as he took to his official X handle (formerly known as Twitter) not so long ago and dropped an 11-second video.
The snippet consisted of four chairs on the Florida beach, with Woods’ name written on the leftmost chair. On the other hand, the other three chairs had blank spaces, which, according to the post, will be filled by Monday, April 22nd, as the caption of the tweet read, “Find out who’s going to be filling these chairs on Monday @TGL.”
The tease put up by Woods on the post left the fans wondering who the players would be competing with for the win. Some of them even put up their guesses in sheer excitement.
Golf fans share who they think will be a perfect fit for Tiger Woods’s TGL team
From Valero Texas Open winner Akshay Bhatia to already-teamed-up Rory McIlroy, the fans suspect all the possible permutations and combinations that can work up for the Jupiter Links Golf Club. To begin with, the golf community had rather unique guesses as to who would complete the team at Jupiter Links Golf Club. While one of them suggested, “Bhatia, Zalatoris, Burns”, another did not choose pro golfers and chose to list golf YouTubers and commented, “Is it, @RickShielsPGA, @PeterFinchGolf, and @GuyCharnock???!!”
Rory McIlroy has already been elected as the first member of the Boston Common Golf. Despite that, one of them suggested that he would be tagging along with Tiger Woods in the team, besides Seamus Power and Shane Lowry. They wrote, “Rory, Shane & Seamus Power.”
Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, and many more have joined the TGL ranks. Yet, some of the very famous names were missing, including Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, and some other top contenders. Hinting that one of them might be his son Charlie Woods, and the others Bryson DeChambeau and Rickie Fowler, one of them hinted, “Dechambeau, Fowler, Charlie”.
However, there were some peculiar comments too, which were directed at his last few performances. Tiger Woods has indeed suffered one too many injuries, and taking into account the fact that the TGL is supposed to be played virtually, it makes one believe that this is his way of announcing his retirement. They wrote, “Are those retirement chairs? You’re the goat but cooked,” suggesting that it was time that he got off the field and took some rest.
