With four of the six teams already having disclosed their rosters, anticipation mounts for Woods’ selection, particularly given the notable players still without a team. McIlroy, Adam Scott, and Keegan Bradley have already been announced as comprising the Boston Common Golf team, although the departure of Tyrrell Hatton to LIV Golf has left a vacancy yet to be filled. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Golf Club boasts a formidable lineup featuring Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Justin Rose, and Tommy Fleetwood, while The Atlanta Drive GC boasts Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover, and Billy Horschel under owner Arthur Blank’s stewardship.

As speculation swirls regarding Woods’ final choices, players such as Max Homa, Shane Lowry, Tom Kim, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee, and Kevin Kisner have been identified as potential candidates for inclusion. Lee, in particular, has expressed keen interest in joining Woods’ team, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the forthcoming announcement.

Additionally, the distribution of the remaining seven players among the two remaining squads raises questions about how teams will strategically round out their rosters. With Boston also seeking to fill its final spot, the spotlight intensifies on the newest addition to TGL and the dynamic lineup it promises to bring to the league’s inaugural season.

Set to debut in January 2025 on ESPN in prime time, TGL has been eagerly awaited since its initial delay following the SoFi building collapse in late 2023. Now, with a new steel-supported structure in place, the stage is set for a thrilling showcase of talent. The innovative 97-yard long, 50-yard wide arena, complete with 1,500 seats, promises an unparalleled spectator experience, with players navigating real grass terrain while tackling custom-designed virtual holes displayed on 65-foot screens.
