Exploring the format of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL
The upcoming tech-forward league, which will start in 2024, will follow a modern match play format. A team with the fewest shots in each hole will earn a point on that particular hole. The ties would reward the team 0 points and no carryovers would be allowed.
Also, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL will have two sessions in a match with two different formats. The first session will have nine holes of 'Triples'. It will be a three vs three or team alternate-shot format.
The second session would be six holes of 'Singles'. Each of the competing teams would send single players to face each other in a one-on-one match.
Finally, similar to soccer's penalty shootout concept, the teams will be granted 'overtime'. Players would face each other head to head until they hit two clear shots to determine the winner.
The team winning in regulation and overtime will be awarded 2 points and the team which loses in overtime will get 1 point. The team that loses in regulation gets no points.
