As we progress further into the 2000s, there is a pressure to update longstanding sports to keep them entertaining. Baseball is trying to make its games shorter and more engaging, and football continues to tweak its All-Star game format. One could argue that tennis has even been recently upgraded with the emergence of pickleball.

The sport of golf hadn’t undergone much change, though. There are few things in the sports world like Sunday at Augusta, but golfers are aware that there aren’t great ways to improve their game during the Tour season. In the offseason, however, there has been an innovation.

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods were brought in as partners for the creation of TMRW Golf League, or TGL, and they teamed up with TMRW Sports to create the league. It is essentially a league of pro golfers that play extremely challenging golf holes from all over the world in a state-of-the-art simulator, while incorporating a versatile putting green. 

McIlroy said that his intention was to create something that was entertaining to fans and could help bring the game of golf into the new age. TGL debuted on Jan. 7, with McIlroy’s team competing in the inaugural episode. Woods headlines Week 2, which will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. ET. 

The Sporting News brings you live results, updated scores and highlights as Tiger Woods makes his TGL debut.

TGL live score, results for Jupiter Links Golf Club vs. L.A. Golf Club

All times ET.

Hole 10 — TIE, L.A. Golf Club still up 8-1

The 10th hole is Woods vs. Rose. The hole is named “The Serpent” and is a 616 yard Par 5. As the name suggests, this hole winds back and forth. The green is also separated from the fairway with some water in the gap.

JLGC drops the hammer, and it is accepted. This hole is worth two points. Rose drives one 298 yards and lands in the light rough but avoids the sand. Woods hit his 303 yards, but also landed in the light rough. Rose lands his next shot short of the water gap and is in a great spot. Not to be outdone, Woods laid up but landed about 36 feet closer. Rose lands his next shot on the green, 29 feet from the hole. Woods’ ball gets on the green, but rolls the wrong direction and finishes 35. feet from the hole. 

Woods decided to putt, but the slope of the green didn’t help him and it rolled past and rested 14 feet from the hole. Rose adjusted from what he saw and put his 5 ft. from the hole. Woods missed his par putt. The LAGC decides to throw the hammer so this is now a three point hole. Rose missed the putt and they tied the hole. 

Hole 9 — L.A. Golf Club wins hole (2 points), up 8-1 

The final hole of the 3v3 first round is “The Spear.” This is a 586-yard Par 5. The hole is only a triangle and a diamond of a fairway meaning if you fade left or right it is going in the water. The green is separated from the fairway diamond giving the golfers a tough decision on how to approach. 

Theegala drove it 334 yards right down the pipe. Homa’s drive barely carried over the water and landed in the rough. Woods laid up ahead of the gap between the fairway and the green. Rose hit it to the green, but the ball rolled into a bunker on the left. Unfortunately, Kisner also put his shot in the bunker after clearing the gap. 

L.A. dropped the hammer, and it was accepted so this hole is worth two. Morikawa struggled getting out of the bunker, leaving a long 20 ft. putt. Homa gets closer and leaves Woods an eight foot putt to tie the hole after Theegala missed the putt that would have won the hole. JLGC used a timeout to give Woods plenty of time to look at the lie. Woods hit the ball way too hard and sailed past the hole, giving two points to LAGC heading to the head-to-head round. 

Hole 8 — L.A. Golf Club wins, up 6-1

The eighth hole is “The Claw.” It’s a Par 4 that is 436 yards. It is a dogleg to the right with the fairway splitting in two direction similar to a crab claw. 

Kisner teed off with a 259-yard drive, but Morikawa smoked one 306 yards down the fairway. Homa tried to make up the distance, but it landed in the bunker. Theegala landed on the green, only 14 feet from the hole. Woods nearly planted his bunker shot into the hole, but left it eight feet from the hole. Rose had the chance to win the hole and his putt just barely dropped into the hole. 

Hole 7 — TIE, L.A. Golf Club still up 5-1

The seventh hole is the 235-yard Par 3 “Oh Chute.” This hole has a narrow path between two tree lines, and also has a pond in the middle. 

Woods teed off and hit the ball left of the green. He didn’t like the shot, but Rose also hit his left albeit about 25 feet closer. Kisner had a fantastic approach that finished 15 inches from the hole. Morikawa sent his past the hole, leaving Theegala with a nine-foot putt to tie the hole. The LAGC used a timeout to get more time to look at the lie. With the crowd trying to throw him off with noise, he nailed the putt to tie the hole. 

Hole 6 — Jupiter Links Golf Club wins, L.A. Golf Club up 5-1 

The sixth hole is “Bluebonnet,” a 474-yard Par 4. This hole has a ridge down the fairway that you don’t want to fall short of.

Theegala fell short and the LAGC was assessed a one-stroke penalty. Max Homa cleared the ridge with a 307 ft. drive. Rose made up for his teammate and hit a 254-yard shot within 17 feet of the hole. Woods had a high arching approach that laned 10ft from the hole with JLGC looking at a possible birdie. Morikawa missed the putt and the LAGC conceded the hole since the JLGC would have to chances to make a putt from 10 feet. 

Hole 5 — TIE, L.A. Golf Club still up 5-0

The fifth hole tonight is “Craic On,” a 179-yard Par 3. The trick with this hole is that if you miss the green, there is a good chance you’re landing in the rough. 

Morikawa left his drive 45 feet left of the hole. Kisner shorted his and the JLGC is 74 feet shy of the hole and Max Homa was tasked with jumping a bunker to get to the green. He nearly holed out yet again, but put his shot eight and a half feet from the hole. Theegala had a 45 ft. putt to win the hole. He missed it, and Woods responded by nailing the 8.5-foot putt he had. Rose got iced by Woods by taking a timeout — each team gets two, 20 second timeouts per round. Rose then nailed his putt to force the tie. 

Hole 4 — L.A. Golf Club wins hole (2 points), up 5-0

The fourth hole is called “Boomerang.” It is a 582-yard Par 5. It gets its name from the fairway being shamed like a boomerang with bunkers lining both sides. 

Justin Rose sends it into the sand, and JLGC instantly throws the hammer. It was accepted and this hole is now worth two points. Woods drives it 299 yards down the middle of the fairway. Kevin Kisner hit it into the water in front of the green, so now the hammer may have backfired. Sahith Theegala gets LAGC on the green in three. Max Homa almost made up for the penalty by holing out on an approach, but the ball hopped the hole to the right. Woods missed a seven foot putt, and the LAGC gets a huge win. 

Hole 3 — L.A. Golf Club wins hole (2 points), up 3-0

The third hole is called “Set in Stone.” This is the first par three of the night. It is 188 yards, with the main obstacle being across a creek and up an elevated green.

The JLGC put it on the green out of the tee box and Woods missed a long putt by a few inches. the LAGC used the hammer which the JLGC accepted, so the hole is now worth two points. Justin Rose had a 10-foot putt to win the hole, and he nailed it. 
 

Hole 2 — L.A. Golf Club wins hole, up 1-0

The second hole is called “Pick Yer Plunder.” It was a monstrous 582-yard Par 5. There are three paths to get to the hole. You could play it safe and go left or right for a layup or could try and risk it and land it on a small peninsula up the middle. 

The JLGC went left while the LAGC went to the right. This tough proved to be very tough. Both second shots for either team went into the water. Woods had the third shot and also sent it into the water. The LAGC avoided the water and quickly became in control of the hole. They won the hole and picked up the first point of the matchup. 

Hole 1 — TIE

The first hole is called “The Plank.” It is a 376-yard par 4. It is uphill, and there are three alternating diagonals of bunkers on the way to the green. 

Woods dropped the hammer before teeing off. This hole is worth two points because a hammer dropped before the tee shot cannot be denied. Both teams missed the green on their second shot, but were able to move to the short-game portion of the hole. Even with the hammer being thrown and the hole being two points, both teams tied with a par. 

7:10 p.m. — Both teams are introduced. The L.A. Golf Club walked out to ‘California Love’ by 2Pac, while the Jupiter Links Gold Club walked out to ‘Bring ‘Em Out’ by T.I. Woods got his own personal walk-out and – while wearing his Sunday red – walked out to ‘Eye of the Tiger’ by Survivor.

MORE TGL: Teams, Schedule, Rules to know

What is TGL?

TGL is the TMRW Golf League. It is a collaboration between McIlroy, Woods and sports executive Mike McCarley who formed TMRW Sports together. 

The league consists of six teams, with four members on each team. The season runs from Jan. 7 to March 4 at which time playoffs would start. Each week, teams will compete in two rounds. The first consists of nine holes and is a three-vs-three format where the golfers alternate shots. The second is six holes of singles with players going head-to-head. 

The golfers will hit their driver and long shots into a screen, just like you would at a simulator. The short game, though, is not simulated. There is a short-game rea that is larger than four basketball courts that will allow golfers to hit out of the sand as they work to the green. 

The TGL utilizes a massive in-person green that the golfers putt on. They have hole locations all over the green, and before each hole one is filled and then another is chosen to put the flag in. This gives the golfers different looks every hole. 

How does TGL scoring work?

TGL uses stroke play. Whoever has the lowest score on a hole, earns a point. The team with the most points at the end of both rounds, is considered the winner. 

The twist with this is that there is a hammer that can be played. One team starts with the hammer. This can be played at any time to increase the point value of a hole by one point. So if a hole is normally worth one point, a team can play the hammer and the hole is now worth two points.

If the opposing team wants to block the hammer play, they can, but they will automatically concede the hole. Also, once a hammer is used it then goes to the other team who can use it instantly if they prefer. This means that if both teams use the hammer, a hole goes from one point to three.
