The Troon Access GL Championship presented by GolfNow will kick off on Thursday, Dec. 5, with 44 two-person teams competing at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills in Tempe, Ariz., in a 36-hole scramble over two evenings. The rounds will be played under the lights, with thousands of fans on hand in the gallery. And even if you aren’t among the in-person spectators, you’ll still have a chance to catch the high-stakes, par-3 tournament action, which will be available to stream on Peacock during the final round.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament, including full streaming info.
The Troon Access GL Championship is part of The Grass League, the world’s first high-stakes par-3 golf league. The Grass League was created by the founders of Grass Clippings, a company founded in 2018 by a group of Phoenix-based entrepreneurs, and stages competitive tournaments with both amateur and professional players in team-based formats.
This week’s tournament will be contested at Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills, a city of Tempe-owned course that Grass Clippings now operates via a 50-year partnership. Over the past 18 months, Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills has undergone a major facelift, with a $15 million investment providing lighting for night play, a lighted practice range with Toptracer technology, a new irrigation system and new tee boxes. The facility also has an activity lawn and video display, hilltop bar, patio bar, a renovated clubhouse and an entertainment venue.
In April, Rolling Hills has a successful hosting debut for The Grass League, and this week’s showing is expected to be even more grand. Franchises from cities like San Diego, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Dallas (which are owned by investors that include the likes of U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts and Good Good Golf) will field teams that include the following notable players:
Hollywood Hitters – Mardy Fish, Mark Mulder
Phoenix United – George Gankas, Nick Mason
Minnesota Muskies (Team 1) – Drew Kittleson, Drew Stoltz
Minnesota Muskies (Team 2) – Andrew Medley, Ken Tanigawa
Los Angeles Roses – Sarah Schmelzel, Carson Kemp
Scottsdale Strikes (Team 1) – Jonathan Kaye, Kenny Coakley
Scottsdale Strikes (Team 2) – Tommy Moore, Andrew Magee
Dallas Horsemen – Brad Dalke, Clay Seeber
Thurday’s opening round will be a shotgun, while Friday’s final round will feature progressive tee times and will be streamed live by NBC’s Peacock starting at 8 p.m. ET.
The broadcast crew will be comprised of Ned Michaels, Todd Dobson, Parker McLachlin and Nick Rivers.
