Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's new interactive golf league TGL is planning to make drastic changes - including making an unexpected gesture to players on the LIV Golf league. Initially, TGL was seen as a league for PGA Tour players only - though it stopped short of being a rival to the Saudi Arabia-funded league. The divide was never clearer than when former Masters champion Jon Rahm withdrew his participation in TGL weeks before he signed his £450million deal with LIV.
The TGL officially began a week ago in Florida, and will continue on Tuesday night with Woods taking part in his first game in the interactive sim league. McIlroy will play for the first time in a week, against Woods' Jupiter Links GC. Despite just being a week old, it seems TGL is set for expansion before too long, with TMRW Sports co-founder Mike McCarley explaining he believes the league will expand to new locations.
Currently, the games are played at the SoFi Center in Florida, but officials have already visited new sites ahead of a possible expansion in the future. Sites in Las Vegas, Southern California and Scottsdale have all been touted, according to Sport Business Journal.
As well as that expansion, McCarley lifted the lid on plans to acquire players from LIV - going a possible route back for Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. The report indicates player involvement could be a factor in the ongoing merger negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund - backers of LIV.
