TGL is now well underway, but has now reached its most anticipated week given the presence of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

The average age of a TGL viewer is 51, with the joint-venture from Woods and McIlroy now approaching its fourth week.

Eddie Pepperell thinks TGL needs a ‘close match’ to really take off, with Atlanta Drive GC’s recent 4-0 win over New York Golf Club continuing the trend of heavy defeats.

New York were hammered 9-2 by The Bay Golf Club on TGL opening night, with Los Angeles Golf Club then beating Jupiter Links GC 12-1.

Woods and McIlroy now go head-to-head at the SoFi Center in Florida, with the former’s Jupiter Links side taking on the latter’s Boston Common Golf team.

And TGL has released an interesting and important statistic ahead of the clash, sharing the team rankings for putting from five to 15 feet.

Excluding conceded putts, The Bay Golf Club top the pile with 75% of putts made from that distance, followed by Atlanta Drive’s 67% in second.

Los Angeles and Jupiter Links are third and fourth respectively with figures of 57% and 20% respectively, with New York bottom of the pile with just 9% of putts made.

The figures certainly don’t read well for New York in particular, with Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young definitely needing to improve on the greens sooner rather than later.

All eyes now shift to Woods and McIlroy, who take to the tee first for their respective teams at the event that combines hybrid and real-life play.

The former is joined by Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim, with the latter set to play alongside Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott.

The legendary PGA Tour duo will then follow that opening triples competition by going head-to-head in TGL singles.

Jupiter Links will undoubtedly be eager to produce a much better showing compared to their opener, with TGL chiefs also certain to want an improved display from Woods and Co.

Given the names involved, the match is certain to provide a helpful gauge of just how much success the competition can go on to enjoy.

The PGA Tour average of putts made from five to 15 feet currently sits at 46.20%, with Braden Thornberry currently leading the way in that area this season with a figure of 68.75%.
