TGL, a new tech-infused golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is teeing off its inaugural season on Tuesday following more than a year delay.

New York GC, made up of Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele and Cameron Young, will face off against The Bay Golf Club, comprised of Ludvig Åberg, Wyndham Clark, Shane Lowry and Min Woo Lee, at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Each match will consist of 15 holes that are divided into two segments. The first session will feature a 3-on-3 alternate-shot format known as “triples,” where three players from each team will hit alternate shots across nine holes. In the final six holes, each golfer will go head-to-head with a player from the opposing team in the “singles” phase of the competition. Each team will decide which three players will participate in each match.

Each hole is worth one point. A 40-second shot clock adds pace (and pressure) to the match, as a penalty incurs a one-stroke penalty.

Here is everything you need to know, including the best highlights and results from the TGL’s debut match.

Golfweek: New York GC to beat The Bay Golf Club

Riley Hamel writes, “It’s tough to be confident with a pick before seeing how these matches are going to work, but I think this league is perfect for guys like Rickie Fowler. Talk some trash, hit some shots, talk a little more. I’ll take the favorites this time around, New York Golf Club at -125.”

Covers.com: Bay Golf to win first match

Neil Parker writes, “Still, I like the underdog Bay Golf Club because I peg Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, and Shane Lowry right behind Schauffele and well ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick and Rickie Fowler.

“Additionally, the gap between Schauffele and Aberg is slim, and Aberg and Clark just topped both Schauffele and Fitzpatrick in the Sentry. I also like the collected ball-striking prowess of the Bay Golf Club more over the past year.”

Sports Illustrated: The Bay GC to win season

Iain MacMillan writes, “Los Angeles GC and Boston Common GC have all four members of the team inside the top 50 in the world but both teams also sit atop the odds list with much shorter odds than we can get with The Bay GC at +460.

“With alternate shot playing a significant role in the outcome of matches, I’d much rather bet a team with depth than one that’s top-heavy.”
