TGL launch night: Inside Tiger Woods’ new golf league

[@golfcom]

What did you all think of TGL?

[@ChristfrWamps]

The animations on the sim are low quality for 2025 and for a PGA level event.

[@UnderwaterAlexJones]

@@ChristfrWamps and dumbest comment of the day goes to. Its like you expect them to use UE5 just to give you a dopamine hit.

[@radionoakmont7756]

it looks astonishing a great challenge to hone skills to be on top of ones game endless scenarios make the fairway long or short to make a team of great golfers to work together in any situation this is one of the most ultimate challenges, you can practice TPC sawgrass to the masters to St. Andrews to something beyond anyone's imagination16. bucks compared to most tickets to watch any sporting event is a good price, just right to keep everything going proper, and impr4ovements Tiger and his team are doing an amazing job with this.

[@NotSquidword]

Get celebrities involved, need more personalities and excitement. Don’t want to watch professionals pretending to be competitive. It feels like tennis stars playing pickleball.

[@radionoakmont7756]

@@NotSquidword oh they will at least this is the beginning and they don't pretend several already won the masters and that is one of the worlds most challenging courses, and that is just by observation but actually really playing the course is another thing alltogether.

[@MrMattfat1]

I enjoyed the broadcast, after each team has played a few games and settled in, understand what’s going on, tweaks to the format, viewers understand it a bit more, it’s gonna be a good product. Glad there’s someone taken a chance on it.

[@lemoneleven2179]

it actually...i cant believe im saying this but it actually looks like a great time

[@joecarnes8758]

Love this! Knowing it's not intended to be a mirror of out door golf, knowing it's a new game and concept. I'm so very glad this is happening. Honored to witness the birth of a new game.

[@troyzak6765]

A interesting new way to play n watch golf. I am sure they will tweek some corrections to make it more enjoyable. Loved the shot clock and done in 2 hours time

[@Cryptonomics7]

This isnt golf. Its simualted golf. Not real at all.

[@GolfersNook]

I’m from NYC, we do this in the winter time.. so cool that its now some kind of real grass and bigger screens

[@bjs1130]

The only thing missing were the Windmills!

[@Corpetit1984]

Welcome to the new era of golf. "GolfVerse" may be a good name 😆 I only hope that the fair play that is so characteristic of this sport is never lost.

[@josephboza7448]

I think there was some shock cause this actually went off without a hitch. New York vs San Francisco was a good match. San Franicsco only won cause Seans team was too hammer happy. So cool Claire is the social media host for TGL this season. If it was closer I think fans would have loved it. That is the only cristicsm I have. It was over by halftime.

[@laronda10]

the bay won cause they had two juggernauts and shane lowry who is still playing well, and new york had xander

[@josephboza7448]

@@laronda10 Got it confused. I think Ludwig knew the only reason he could beat San Francisco was that he used that hammer. It was funny though Matt Barrie said that Xander was too hammer happy during the rehearsal but didnt use it during the match.

[@beardown6574]

TGL super cool! Tech was wild! Shot clock by far a great feature.

[@keithwhiddon3794]

I guess I will go against the grain and say I enjoyed the show and will be looking forward to next week’s match

[@tygor1988]

It would be really fun to be there and watch, no doubt there, but golf outside is what the average golfer can relate too best. If you’re going with the virtual golf the tv audience will not have the same experience as the attending. Having CGI and visual effects that are only visible to the TV audience would make it more fun. For kids especially I’m sure. Explosions on tee shots, fun characters (ad space), and make some whacky holes! Mountain tops, volcanoes, don’t do just regular tour golf.👍🏻

[@IBRAHIM.___.]

Hola, saludos, se ve genial, estoy esperando que suban los vídeos en español. 🎉🎉🎉

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Where was it?

[@user-rk1xw6vl4n]

No wind or rain. Grass is always the same. Putting greens are always perfect. Lowery talking about how much he loved it and how much fun he had, would you trade your Open win for this? This doesn’t challenge a true pro golfer. It’s liking watching them practice at home. Boring

[@tylercruce7055]

Where can I watch this?

[@jpbackhouse]

Turned it off after 5 minutes. But guess it's not been created for people like me, normal golfers who also watch golf. I would have watched if was completely different like having to break 9 glass windows high low, or flop shot over a bar, or hit atound an obstacle...skill challenges.

[@JCStafford-kz5fr]

I actually loved it. Its golf, it entertaining, the guys are entertaining and obviously enjoying it. The crowd obviously liked it. What’s not not to like?

[@geedubb-q1u]

All the grief LIV gets over their “Team Play” look at what the cat dragged in.

[@Not.Satoshi]

It felt like I was watching a bad episode of Battle Bots. The ratings will be up again next week when Tiger plays, up still maybe the week after when Rory plays but I have a feeling it’s going to tank after that.

[@iantherip]

This was set up because Tiger can’t walk, anything new is awesome, because it’s New

[@PaulCross-d4p]

Its all about Tiger

[@vertstang123]

That is exactly why it was made, the television people aren't getting ratings since Tiger went tits up so they had to do something to get him competing again. They should have just waited another couple years and pay him to play on the Seniors tour.

[@kelvin.008]

Should add wind to the game.m😂

[@LordTaylor007]

and rain 🌧️

[@chrissawyer69]

15 holes? no wind? no trees? players lack much personality, it won't make it 99 tiger woods pga golf was more challenging. take that sim off novice and put it on pro level

[@Gac618]

Wasn’t terrible, but I’d rather watch celebrities play this format than pros. Get DJ khaled playing on one of the teams

[@cypherlock01]

Good stuff

[@Patrick-uf1cq]

Pro golfers are arguably the most conservative white bread athletes in the world…listening to them try to be funny or cool is just so dull….listening to them do it playing a simulator is even duller.

[@garth19791]

Sorry but you can’t beat a real golf course…… Being out with Nature seeing the beauty of a golf course makes it just as appealing as playing the game.

[@latortugapicante719]

But it doesn’t look that amazing on tv anyways

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

But you dont play on the level they play. So you spend your day driving around playing and pulling beers out of the cooler. To them, a real golf course is fun but also a stressful thing. Just kick back and have fun watching your favorite golfers having fun.

[@PaulCross-d4p]

Artificial atmosphere.....millionaires playing

This has all the makings of the XFL: lots initial interest to see what the fuss is about, then it fizzles out once people realize it’s just a gimmick.

[@uy7535]

Real golf is about 550 + years old , how long do you "kids" think that this format will last ? The average joe will never get access to these facilities = how can they ever relate to this , but he can go out and play a real course and shoot a real 72 tomorrow.

[@andrewclarke8727]

And it was struggling bad before theses guys came along. After all am sure your not using 550 year old club😅

[@LyingJoosAreCancer]

@@andrewclarke8727 Make ZERO sense much.

[@vertstang123]

You are correct. This looks like it would be fun to play once or twice, like Top Golf, but they are not going to build a bunch of these facilities for the public, and if they did it would cost more to play than real golf. It's a dead end.

[@100proofcrew]

There's one of these at Fairmount hot springs in southwest Montana, and when its snowing outside it's pretty awesome to have that option, and it's not expensive at all

[@dirtyoffroader2093]

I managed 40 minutes before getting really bored of it. The putting green was cool but watching pro's hit into a screen had the same life span as watching soccer players kicking a ball against a wall. That wouldnt be real football and this isn't real golf. 😂. TGL is a concept that would be great to do personally.. but is pants to watch. Shame really, as I wanted to enjoy it.

[@jakesmith6233]

Not sure how I feel about this. I might give it a chance.

[@thetomschaeffer]

Golf is changing and I love it

[@vertstang123]

That wasn't golf, it was a video game. It looked like it would be fun to play once, but watching someone else hit balls into a screen is retarded.

[@cdawg_sf]

It’s a made for wagering event. They should drop the ticket price and launch an on-site betting app. You can play it anywhere since it’s virtual so why not the sphere in Vegas

[@Self-projections]

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen

[@vertstang123]

It looks like it would be fun to play, but it's boring as hell to watch. I can't believe they are going forward with this farce.

[@fordemakas5890]

The hype will die down and people will realize this is not must see tv. Real golf fans want to see these guys compete outdoors. The resources used to make all this happen could’ve been used on something more important to the betterment of the human race. Instead we get this garbage.

[@bigbrytunney8753]

Gave it a chance last night and i was bored after 5-10 minutes, it's just not real golf....and i'm someone who watches A LOT of golf. I'll be watching much more of the Sony Open Tomorrow night than i will Notre Dame - Penn State football playoff. This seems like it's more geared to a younger generation who enjoy watching e-sports.

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

Green shape isn't the same there's actuators under it

[@ahl6845]

All yall Haters are funny it's boring, turned it off after 5 mins so on and so on, Let me clear the air, I play golf, I LOVE GOLF, and golf typically it's boring to watch on tv for me period, unless it's a major and it's someone I enjoy watching, I haven't really watched golf since tiger fell off the domination horse, but I will watch a major from time to time. Only on Sundays mostly. I was at a convention earlier this year and there was a golf simulator there, I tried it, it was bad ass. I had huge crowds of people watching me and I'm not on tv so yeah this is cool, I love the technology and how much it has grown since the golf sims have started, I want this to succeed. It's different and I believe it could work best part is they are hitting off real surfaces vs the fake grass I was hitting off. For all you out there complaining about how boring it is well you need to go and try a good sim it's just as fun as playing outdoors, oh at least you won't loose any balls LOL. The technology is amazing very helpful to your game with ball flight, ball speed, club head angle, club speed and more. Yall need to get out of your feelings and expand your mind. Hit them sim greens. One more thing, I love the fact you play any course in the world.

[@nickkin9999]

It would be fun to play but watching idk about that lol

[@Only.The.Best.]

[@100proofcrew]

Yall acting like theyre trying to replace golf, which is not the case at all, this is a fun casual thing that will put alot of younger eyes on real golf later in the year, im all for it stop with the "get off my lawn" old man gatekeeping....

Its some sort of entertainment.....but at the end its simulator golf, with basically preferred lies, no wind, or rain, very limited undulations possible, its flat golf. Shot clock??.
