Atlanta Drive beats New York Golf Club 6-5 in Match 1 of TGL championship finals
Atlanta Drive GC is one match away from the first TGL championship, taking Match 1 of the finals 6-5 over New York Golf Club on Monday. The match went to the 15th hole, with Patrick Cantlay making a birdie putt from six and a half feet out to force good friend but TGL foe Xander Schauffele into a make-or-lose putt. Schauffele's putt from 6 feet, 5 inches lipped out. Advertisement It was a back-and-forth match the whole way through, with Atlanta Drive winning the first two points in the nine-hole triples format only for New York to come back and tie it going into singles. NYGC's Cam Young threw down the hammer to get his team up 4-2 to start singles, but Atlanta Drive rallied. Here's what else you need to know from the TGL Finals: It has to be Billy Horschel. He is a showman who only needs his stage, and the SoFi Center is just that. The lifting of his hat to the crowd after hitting his golf ball off some rocks in the metaverse? Pouring in a critical 12-footer to tie the match in singles, and throwing it into the face of a handful of New York fans? This is a show, and Horschel understands the assignment. It was not nearly as theatrical, but he tied the match again on the 14th hole, spinning his ball to 5 feet on the par 3. And as Cantlay examined his match-winning putt, it was Horschel helping him read it the entire time. BILLLY!! — TGL (@TGL) March 25, 2025 ESPN's Marty Smith question to New York Golf Club's healthy scratch and 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzgerald: 'What is more nerve-wracking, watching these guys try to win a championship or winning a major championship?' Fitzpatrick's response? 'I'm feeling pretty sick right now, yeah.' The two teams will meet again on Tuesday night, for at least Match 2 and, if necessary, Match 3 in the best-of-three series. Match 2 will start at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. TGL has made little mention of the prize money throughout its first season — a conscious decision. 'As a fan of sports, I'm tired of hearing about money. So if I am, I'm sure every other fan is, too,' Mike McCarley, CEO of TMRW Sports Group, TGL's parent company, said before the start of the season. That said, the winning team will share $9 million, or $2.25 million per player — more than Viktor Hovland took home for claiming the Valspar Championship on Sunday. The losing team will share $4.5 million. (Photo of Billy Horschel of Atlanta Drive: Brennan Asplen / TGL via Getty Images)

Atlanta Drive beat The Bay to set up clash against New York Golf Club in inaugural TGL Finals
The Atlanta Drive beat The Bay Golf Club on Tuesday to set up a clash against the New York Golf Club in the inaugural TGL Finals Series. The Drive – made up of Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Billy Horschel – prevailed 9-3 at SoFi Center, beating Shane Lowry, Ludvig Åberg and Min Woo Lee of The Bay GC. Atlanta now advances for a best-of-three series against New York Golf Club – comprised of Rickie Fowler, Cameron Young and Xander Schauffele – in the finals, with Match 1 taking place at 9 p.m. ET on Monday. Match 2 will be held at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday with Match 3, if necessary, taking place later that day. 'They (New York) obviously are starting to play well at the right time,' Thomas said afterwards, per the TGL website. 'I like our team and I like our chances. I'm excited. It's gonna be a lot of fun.' With a spot in the finals on the line, it turned out to be a fairly one-sided affair between the two star-studded lineups. The Bay were hampered before the match began though when Wyndham Clark was ruled out with a neck injury after a stellar regular season in which he led most statistical categories. Atlanta – cheered on by some famous faces in the form of former Braves third baseman Chipper Jones and former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick – raced into an early behind some error-free play. By the time the game had reached the par-3 12th hole, Atlanta held a 5-2 lead and the team threw the Hammer – making the hole worth double points – in an attempt to clinch the victory. World No. 12 Cantlay stepped up in the big moment, his tee shot landing approximately four feet from the cup before he stepped up to make the putt and seal the win with three holes left to play. As a result, Atlanta were able to enact revenge on The Bay who handed them their only defeat of the TGL season. 'Our team's played well most every match,' Cantlay said afterwards, per the TGL website. 'We've had a lot of close matches and hit shots when we needed to, just like tonight. We'll take that into next week and I think we're all excited for the final.' TGL co-founder Rory McIlroy – who remained in Florida after winning The Players Championship on Monday – joined the broadcast midgame and expressed how sad he was to be missing out in the crunch time of the debut season of the new venture after his Boston Common Golf squad missed out on the postseason. 'Shane (Lowry) was talking about Wyndham having FOMO (fear of missing out),' McIlroy said. 'I'm certainly having a lot of FOMO. I wish I was out there playing instead of watching.' The TGL – co-founded by McIlroy and Tiger Woods – is in its debut season and has been broadcast on ESPN. The virtual nature and the 1,500-capacity stadium it will be hosted in is aimed at attracting a younger audience.
