Atlanta Drive will open TGL season with finale rematch

The Atlanta Drive, which brought home a world championship in the first season of TGL Golf, will begin defense of their title against the team they conquered in the finale.

The Drive will meet the New York Golf Club at 3 p.m. Dec. 28, at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to start the league’s second season of competition.

The Drive will have their championship banner lifted to the rafters and placed on display. The Drive trailed 3-0 with four holes to play when they staged a memorable comeback for a 4-3 win. Billy Horschel won the match with a 17-foot birdie on the final hole.

Horschel will return to the team this season and will be joined by Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover.

The league, a partnership between the PGA Tour and TMRW Sports, headed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, will announce its schedule later this fall.

The indoor TGL league features three-on-three competition on oversize launch monitors driven by advanced technology and a large shape-shifting putting green. The league combines elements of traditional golf with a simulated indoor game.
