Tiger Woods' TGL series is heading for its conclusion. On Monday, its first playoff match was held between the New York Golf Club and the Los Angeles Golf Club. Several of the big celebrities attended the game, including Emmy Award-winning actor Keegan-Michael Key.
Following the game, Key, who has a net worth of $12 million via Celebrity Net Worth, praised the newly formed tech-infused series. He was seemingly in love with the atmosphere of the SoFi Center and described the series as an "equalizer" for people of all generations. Speaking of the TGL, Key said (at 0.26):
"I love it. I absolutely love it. It's so much fun. I think it's a great kind of equalizer—everybody gets a great seat. The whole place... it's a nice and fun atmosphere. Kids can come, grandparents can come, parents can come. It's terrific. It's wonderful."
