Rory McIlroy ambled into the media center Tuesday, fresh off a cross-country flight, and soon found himself fielding questions stretching far beyond his impending 2025 debut. Do golfers need to become entertainers?

ESPN drew 864,000 viewers for Monday night’s match. The post Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy Fall Short in Boosting TGL Ratings appeared first on Front Office Sports.

TGL played for the first time on Monday night instead of Tuesday, and it allowed McIlroy, the No. 3 player in the world, time to get a decent night’s sleep—he lives five minutes from the SoFi Center—and then fly to the west coast for the $20 million signature event.

TGL gave golf fans a taste of its new overtime format as the finale to the matchup between Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links and Rory McIlroy's Boston Common.

In fact, the only thing that would have made Week 4 better was if Monday's match came down to a Tiger vs. Rory overtime "chip off" – think penalty kicks but three golfers from each team chipping from 37 yards to get closest to the pin.

Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links GC plays Rory McIlroy's Boston Common Golf in the TGL golf league. Here's how to watch, including time, TV schedule, stream info.

The TGL golf league plays all its matches at SoFi Center, a new 250,000-square-foot indoor stadium in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The match marked TGL's first with any suspense and first to go to an overtime. Jupiter Links edged Boston Common Golf by winning the chip off.

Rory McIlroy had some humorous advice for Scottie Scheffler on Tuesday ahead of the world number one's return to action this week following surgery to remove glass fragments from his right hand after a December cooking accident.

Monday night saw the marquee event in the league’s short history as Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club faced co-owner McIlroy’s Boston Commons Golf. Ahead of the match, Woods called out to his mother, Kultida Woods, to deliver a hilarious message.

You can only imagine how the TGL technicians felt when Rory McIlroy walked into his 90-minute practice session last week with two launch monitors from his personal collection. The four-time major champion and TGL co-founder needed to put his concerns to rest before he debuted in the league: Is the simulator used for golf’s new indoor league accurate?
