Tiger Woods’ ex-coach gets candid about TGL after first glimpse - “It could be great for golf”

Tiger Woods' ex-coach Hank Haney reflected on the upcoming tech-infused golf series TGL. Woods, in collaboration with fellow PGA Tour player Rory McIlroy, created this brand-new golf series, which will start in January 2025. As the series nears its first season, it has been making headlines on the internet.

Recently, golf writer Bob Harig shared a clip on his X account of Rickie Fowler practicing his game on the simulator for TGL. Tiger Woods' ex-coach Hank Haney reposted the video on his X account, reflecting on his excitement for the start of the series. He wrote:

"I hope this whole TGL deal comes off as good as it looks because it could be great for golf. Can’t wait to see it."

Notably, the TGL has a unique format. Its matches will take place indoors at the SoFi Center. Players will take shots on a big screen, which has been specially designed for the series.

The series' matches will take place in a team format. Six teams of four players will participate in the first season of the TGL.
