The world of golf is gearing up for something new as TGL, an initiative by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is set to commence on January 7. Backed by the PGA Tour, this league is an indoor tournament and will feature some veteran golfers like Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark.

Ahead of the first match, there is a lot of buzz surrounding TGL, and a recent report has added to the same. As per Tom Kershaw of The Times, contracts given by TMRW Golf League make it effectively impossible for TGL golfers to be a part of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

While this is the only information that’s mentioned for now, it might not come as something too surprising. In 2024, it was announced that Tyrrell Hatton was set to be a part of TGL. However, Hatton was dropped from the league after he decided to join LIV Golf.

The British golfer revealed that the TGL contract mentioned a golfer can’t play in the TMRW Golf League if they play in LIV Golf. Hatton further revealed that he told McIlroy that he would be joining LIV, which meant he would not play in the Irishman’s league. Hatton was then replaced by Hideki Matsuyama.
