Atlanta defeated New York, 6-4, in the TGL season opener. The 2026 campaign will continue on Friday with a match between Boston and Los Angeles.

Boston is hoping to start the new year with a victory after finishing at the bottom of the standings in the inaugural season and missing the playoffs. The team is led by Rory McIlroy, who is a TGL co-founder along with Tiger Woods and former NBC Sports executive Mike McCarley.

Los Angeles entered the 2025 playoffs as the No. 1 seed, but it lost to New York in the semifinals. LA will deploy a lineup of Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala.

TGL golf format

TGL matches consist of players covering 15 holes across two sessions. The first session (holes 1-9) is called "triples," and the second session (holes 10-15) is called "singles."

Triples is a three-on-three format in which players rotate shots. For example, Player 1 will tee off, Player 2 will hit the second shot and Player 3 will hit the third shot. The lineup also rotates so each player hits every type of shot. Singles is a head-to-head format in which each matchup covers two holes.

Each hole is worth one point, and the team with the most points wins the match. A team can also throw a "hammer" to add one point to a hole's value, and each team has three "hammers" per match.

If a hole ends in a tie, no points are awarded, and teams advance to the next hole. If the match ends in a tie, teams face off in a closest-to-the-pin competition.
