Golf's New League: Lights, Camera, Action?
Illinois, Bolingbrook, USAWed Jan 08 2025
You might be wondering who even asked for another golf league. The truth is, no one really did. But here we are, with a new virtual golf competition hitting our screens. This isn't your typical golf event—it's more like a video game come to life. The league, called TGL, is using top golfers and fancy technology to make golf more exciting. The question is, will people actually watch it?
The league is smart about their timing. With no football or major golf events, they've got a prime spot on TV. Plus, they're using ESPN to spread the word. This means even if you're not a big golf fan, you might stumble upon it while flipping channels.
But could this new league hurt the PGA Tour? Maybe. If people are watching TGL, they might not be tuning into the PGA Tour. This could leave some PGA Tour players feeling left out. After all, there's only so much attention to go around.
The league is still new, so let's not rush to judge. New things often start out a bit rough. Just like when we launched our podcast, the first episode might not be perfect. But that doesn't mean the whole idea is bad.
So, what about the actual game? We'll finally get to see it in action this week. Will it be as exciting as it sounds? Only time will tell.
