TGL announces 2026 season opener is set for December and will be on ABC
They're starting the 2026 TGL season in 2025. The virtual, made-for-TV golf league announced on Monday the start date for season two, with the first match set to put TGL on broadcast television for the first time. Officially called TGL presented by SoFi, the 2026 opener is set for Sunday, Dec. 28 at 3 p.m. ET on ABC. All the matches last season were on ESPN or ESPN2, part of the Disney family along with ABC. The December date is a soft spot in the college football bowl season as there are no bowl games scheduled for that Sunday. The lid lifter will pit TGL defending champions Atlanta Drive GC against New York Golf Club in a rematch of last season's final. Atlanta features Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Lucas Glover and Billy Horschel, who announced in early May that he was going to get hip surgery. New York's squad consists of Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Cameron Young, and Matt Fitzpatrick. What is TGL? TGL stands for Tomorrow's Golf League and it's an indoor simulator league, backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TMRW Sports. The six-team league of PGA Tour pros will compete within the custom-built SoFi Center, a 250,000-square-foot venue on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. TGL golf format, how the league works Each match will feature two sessions with different formats. Session 1 will be nine holes of 'Triples,' three vs. three team alternate shot. Session 2 is six holes of 'Singles,' a head-to-head competition where each competitor plays two holes. What is the TGL point system? The TGL regular season points system resembles the NHL: A win in regulation or overtime is worth 2 points, a loss in overtime is good for 1 point, and a loss in regulation is worth 0 points. At the end of the regular season, four teams make the playoffs.

PGA Tour golfer Ben Griffin says he 'overdosed' on creatine amid bad start to BMW Championship final round
PGA Tour golfer Ben Griffin may have had an outside shot at winning the BMW Championship on Sunday if he put together a round similar to how he did on Thursday. But Griffin's Sunday started out less than ideal. He carded at least a bogey on the first three holes. He scored a seven on the par-4 first hole and a six on the par-4 second. He then salvaged a bogey on the third hole. He was able to lock in and record seven birdies on the final 15 holes to put together a final round 69. Griffin was 3-under par for the tournament and finished tied for 12th with Rory McIlroy and Harris English in the tournament. Scottie Scheffler won the BMW Championship with a 15-under – two strokes better than Robert Macintyre and four better than Maverick McNealy. He explained after his round that an issue with creatine caused his chances on the first three holes to slip away. He said that he filled up his water bottle with a "snowball" of creatine and when he took a sip from the bottle he swallowed a massive chunk. "I've never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment because I didn't really drink any water after that," Griffin said, via "I basically just inhaled a snowball. So I started getting super shaky. I've never felt like that before and I felt like I had tremors. "I four-putted 1 and on 2 I like was freaking out and didn't know what to do. Like I hit it so far out of bounds." Griffin credited his caddie, Adam Ritthamel, with helping him get through the intense problem." The North Carolina native has two PGA Tour wins in his career – both coming this season. He won the Zurch Classic of New Orleans with Andrew Novak and the Charles Schwab Challenge.
