For some, the TGL was the start of a new era of golf but with season two looming there are plenty of questions left to be answered about the event and its future.
The second season of TGL will kick off in a few weeks’ time as defending champions Atlanta Drive open their account by taking on New York City GC on opening night.
Like in season one, we can expect plenty of excitement and anticipation ahead of the opening night.

Do you think Augusta National or St Andrews are overrated? Are you secretly a fan of the venues LIV visit?
But in reality, opening night be where that excitement comes and goes in one fell swoop.
Why TGL has to improve for season two
We can all acknowledge the effort that went into getting TGL off the ground and in the main, the concept itself is a good idea.
However, beyond the concept, the execution and star pulling power just wasn’t always there.
We can forgive technological issues like what Tiger Woods suffered with when he massively over-clubbed.
But speaking of Tiger, that is one of the issues facing TGL. No matter who tries to hide it, the league was always going to be more popular and watchable with Tiger involved. It’s just that simple.
Now, with him injured again, it’s a huge star and personality taken away from the fans.
Secondly, the actual matches themselves became seriously repetitive in 2024. Yes, there are going to be new hole designs and increased use of the green tech in 2025, but in terms of a viewing spectacle, TGL soon becomes dull after four or five shots.
Finally, after another long and drawn out PGA Tour season where Rory McIlroy reached a career high and Scottie Scheffler continued to dominate, there has to be questions over whether there is even an appetite for a second season here. Indeed, with no Scottie involved at all, the event already feels less important than it should.

TGL needs to bring in a LIV Golf or DP World Tour team
There is one more glaring problem staring TGL in the face. And that is, just like LIV Golf, how do they get fans to actually buy in and support these teams?
The answer? Well, they could do far worse than give one or two spots to teams made entirely of either LIV, DP World or Asian Tour stars.
Do you think you could win The Masters if you started every hole on the green?
If not, how many shots would you also need?
That way, we get the chance to see some real needle between the players and also, it gives fans an easy option – like the Ryder Cup – in terms of who to root for.
Of course, getting the LIV guys involved is highly unlikely at this stage but imagine a team of Bryson, Rahm, Koepka and Mickelson? Suddenly, you have four major stars involved and the chance to have some form of rivalry.
As of right now, it all feels a bit flat and in a way, a bit like a smaller, virtual version of LIV itself.
