Atlanta Drive GC Faces a Tough Start to the Season

Atlanta Drive GC, the defending champions, is set to begin their second season with a significant challenge. The team will be missing some key players for their opening match against New York GC. Justin Thomas, who had a major surgery recently, will not be playing. He shared his disappointment on Instagram, saying he was bummed to miss the game but excited to be at SoFi Stadium to support his team. This isn't the only bad news for Atlanta Drive GC. Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover are also out due to injuries. They will be replaced by Chris Gotterup and Corey Conners, who are new to the format. Billy Horschel will lead the team, but it's unclear if they can keep up their winning streak against New York GC.Last season, Atlanta Drive GC dominated New York GC, winning all three matches they played against each other. But this time, things might be different. The absence of Thomas, Cantlay, and Glover could make a big difference. New York GC, on the other hand, will have their full team, including Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele. The first match of the season is crucial. If Atlanta Drive GC loses, it could set the tone for the rest of the season. But even if they win, the story won't end there. The team will still have to deal with the absence of their key players. It's a tough situation, but Atlanta Drive GC will have to find a way to overcome it.
