6 best moments from Presidents Day triple-header of TGL, the best day in league history
Monday was a special one for TGL.
The league had not one, not two, but three matches on Presidents Day, starting at 1 p.m. Eastern and continuing into the evening. The matches started with a thrilling overtime win, and somehow that momentum carried throughout the afternoon and evening.
Every player who competed in Florida on Monday played in the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California last week, but there was no lack of energy from the players, most of whom traveled cross-country overnight, and it resulted in a bunch of great moments.
TGL is at its best when the players are bought in, shot making is high and the crowd is vibrant in SoFi Center. All three matches on Monday had all three ingredients, and the recipe was stellar viewing and a big boost to what TGL can be each night in the future.
Monday was the best day in TGL's history, and there's another match to come Tuesday featuring one of the league's founders: Tiger Woods.
Here's a look at six of the best moments from TGL's Presidents Day triple-header.
Wyndham Clark makes eagle to beat Boston Common
The final match of the night ended with a splash, as Boston Common called a timeout to try to ice The Bay Golf Club's Wyndham Clark on his winning eagle putt. Instead, it gave him time to read the putt a bit longer, and he nestled in, made his stroke and poured it in to give The Bay its second win of the day.
Ludvig Aberg, Lucas Glover match darts in singles
Aberg, who won the Genesis Invitational on Sunday, showed no signs of rust or exhaustion during his match. Come singles, when he was playing Atlanta Drive's Lucas Glover, the duo traded punches on the par-3 14th hole. First, Aberg hit a great shot that spun within a couple feet of the hole, then Glover followed suit and hit a shot to a couple feet.
Overtime between Los Angeles, Atlanta Drive
The second overtime in TGL history was thrilling. It came down to the last shot, but Los Angeles Golf Club's Tommy Fleetwood had the best shot of the extra period. The entire overtime is below.
Tommy Fleetwood ace on par-4 (in warmups)
We have our first (unofficial) TGL ace, courtesy of Tommy Fleetwood. And it came on a par 4 when he was warming up Monday morning.
Those positive feelings carried over to the match, too, when he hit a brilliant shot in competition into the drivable par-4. The shotmaking on Monday was brilliant all day.
Justin Thomas chip-in to force OT
Justin Thomas had an eagle chip on the 15th hole of Atlanta Drive's first match against Los Angeles that he left short of the green. That left him with a birdie chip to win the hole and force overtime.
Well, take a guess what happened.
He even had a chance to force overtime again in Atlanta Drive's second match, and he gave the putt a heckuva run.
Keegan Bradley's chip-in in singles
Short game has been the area where players have struggled with the most off the turf in SoFI Center, but Boston Common's Keegan Bradley didn't struggle with this long pitch shot.

US gymnastics championships: TV channel, time, stream and what to know
"The Pommel Horse Guy" is back for another spin. Stephen Nedoroscik returns to competition for the first time since the Paris Olympics this week, looking to win a fifth consecutive title on pommel horse at the U.S. gymnastics championships. Fellow Paris Olympians Hezly Rivera, Brody Malone, Frederick Richard and Asher Hong are also planning to compete at nationals, which are Thursday through Sunday at Smoothie King Arena in New Orleans. Results at nationals will help determine who makes the world championships in October in Jakarta, Indonesia. There is no team competition at this year's worlds, with only individual titles — all-around and events — at stake. In addition to the usual all-around and event titles awarded at nationals, there will be a "squad showdown" this year. Each rotation group will be considered a "squad," and their highest three scores on each event on the first day of competition will be counted in the "showdown." The squad with the highest score wins. Here's everything you need to know about the U.S. gymnastics championships: Where are the U.S. gymnastics championships? The U.S. gymnastics championships are being held at Smoothie King Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's the first time the national championships have been in New Orleans since 1995. The state first hosted the event in 1977, when nationals were in Baton Rouge. When are the U.S. gymnastics championships? Competition is Thursday through Sunday, with the men and women alternating days. Here's the schedule (all times Eastern): Thursday, 8-10:30 p.m., men's competition, day 1. Friday, 7:45-10 p.m., women's competition, day 1. Saturday, 6:30-9 p.m., men's competition, day 2. Sunday, 7-9 p.m., women's competition, day 2. How can I watch the U.S. gymnastics championships? The U.S. gymnastics championships will be shown on Peacock, NBC and CNBC. Here's the schedule: Thursday, 8-10:30 p.m., Peacock. Friday, 7:45-10 p.m., Peacock. Saturday, 6:30-9 p.m., CNBC. Sunday, 7-9 p.m., NBC. Watch the US gymnastics chamoionships with Peacock Who are the gymnasts to watch? Stephen Nedoroscik, aka "The Pommel Horse Guy," became a fan favorite at the Paris Olympics when he was seen looking positively Zen-like on the sidelines as he waited to compete in his one event with a rare medal for the U.S. men on the line. He and the U.S. men won the bronze, their first Olympic medal since the 2008 Games. Nedoroscik then added an individual bronze on pommel horse. Olympic teammates Frederick Richard, Asher Hong and Brody Malone are also competing, though Malone is not expected to do the all-around. Hezly Rivera, who was the youngest member of Team USA at the Paris Olympics, and Paris alternates Leanne Wong and Joscelyn Roberson are all expected to contend for their first all-around title. Skye Blakely, a favorite to make the Paris team until she ruptured her Achilles at the Olympic trials, is expected to do the uneven bars and balance beam. Also keep an eye on up-and-comers Claire Pease, Simone Rose and Jayla Hang. Is Simone Biles competing? No. The seven-time Olympic champion is taking time off, just as she did after the Rio and Tokyo Games. Biles has said repeatedly that she still hasn't decided whether she'll compete at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. Biles is the most-decorated gymnast in history, male or female. In addition to 11 Olympic medals and 30 medals at the world championships, Biles is a nine-time U.S. all-around champion. Are Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey competing? Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey, all two-time Olympians, will not compete at the U.S. championships this week. But don't rule out seeing Carey and Chiles in the future. Both Carey and Chiles are taking breaks after competing in NCAA gymnastics this season, Chiles for UCLA and Carey for Oregon State. Chiles won a national title on uneven bars while Carey won bronze on balance beam. Chiles has already said she intends to return to UCLA for her senior season. Carey's collegiate career is over, and she told she thinks the time off will help her decide whether she wants to compete elite again. "Right now, (I'm) taking time and going to see where things end up,' she said. 'So, it's not a no, but it's not a yes.' As for Lee, the all-around champion at the Tokyo Olympics, she said in Paris that she was content with her career. Health issues had sidelined Lee for the better part of a year before Paris, getting so bad she was struggling to get out of bed seven months before the Games. But after doctors got her medications right, Lee was able to resume training. She won three more medals in Paris: a gold with Team USA, and bronzes in the all-around and on uneven bars. "If I don't (come back), I feel like I had a really good run. I'm super proud of everything that I was able to accomplish. Especially this year, not even knowing if I would be able to make it here," Lee said in Paris.
