Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL flexes 23 per cent points thrown per match due to new Hammer rule

A few days ago, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL made amendments to their original Hammer Rule. The effect of the modification was visible on the points as well, which recorded a surge of 23 percent in points thrown since then.

The new Hammer Rule came into effect on Monday, February 17, allotting the playing teams three hammers per match. This helped prevent the hoarding of the hammer, which was happening previously. It also reflected in the points, as teams started taking more risks and were rewarded for it.

On Thursday, February 27, TGL shared data on X, which stated that only three hammers were thrown per match before the rule change, and they rewarded just 10 points, which was just 23 percent of the total hammer throws.

However, since the rule change, 4.9 hammers were thrown on average, and a total of 32 points were earned. This was 46 percent of the total hammer throws in Tiger Woods' league.
