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.

Cameron Young is finally a PGA Tour winner. Here are 5 things you should know about him

Cameron Young will be competing in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first leg of the PGA Tour's FedEx Playoffs, starting Thursday. Here are five things to know about the winner of the Wyndham Championship: Cameron Young's first PGA Tour win was wire-to-wire Young, 28, entered the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., with more second-place finishes (seven) than any player on the PGA Tour without a victory since 2003. That ended August 3 with a wire-to-wire win . Young closed with a 22-under 258, six shots ahead of Mac Meissner. Young became the 1,000th player to win on the PGA TOUR, dating back to Willie Park Jr. in the 1860 Open Championship. Steady but not spectacular during five years on Tour Young, the 2022 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, has been consistently in the top 50 of the world rankings since landing at No. 44 in March 2022, with the exception of three months this season when he missed six cuts in the first 11 events. He has at least five top 10s in the last four years. Young jumped from No. 44 to No. 21 in the world with his win at Wyndham. His highest ranking was 13th in March 2024. More: Winner's Bag: Cameron Young, 2025 Wyndham Championship Young learned to play where father was club pro Born in Scarborough, N.Y., Young learned to play golf at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, where his father, David, was the club's professional for 20 years. Young won the AJGA Polo Golf Junior Classic in 2014 and a year later represented the United States in both the Junior Ryder Cup and Junior Golf World Cup. He attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., about 30 miles from the site of his first PGA win, graduating in 2019 with a degree in economics. Young could make a case for 2025 Ryder Cup team At No. 15 in the Ryder Cup standings, Young is in position where captain Keegan Bradley has to at least think about making him one of his six captain's picks to go along with the top six in the standings. For Young, the Ryder Cup would be a home game, being played at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., about 60 miles south of where he was born. Young held the course record at Bethpage Black — a 64 in the final round of the 2017 Metropolitan PGA's New York State Open when he became the event's youngest winner — until Brooks Koepka shot a 63 in the first round of the 2019 PGA Championship. Moved to Florida after graduating from Wake Forest Young moved to Jupiter following his graduation from Wake Forest and joined the Dye Preserve Golf Club. "The culture down there evolves around golf a lot and my life, at least professionally, evolves around golf," Young said. "That's the environment I put myself in." Living in the area made him a great fit to join TGL, the tech-infused, indoor league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. And his roots made him an obvious choice to join the New York Golf Club, joining Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Xander Schauffele. New York reached the first TGL final, losing to the Atlanta Drive, in March. Tom D'Angelo is a senior sports columnist and reporter for The Palm Beach Post. He can be reached at tdangelo@
