  • The league formed and owned by Tiger Woods brings a unique twist on the competition, offering players the ability to combine simulated and traditional golf. The matches have a number of never-before-seen factors that have to be considered by the participants.

The article from MSN Sports discusses the unique scoring system of TGL, a new golf league co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. TGL introduces a concept called "the hammer," which is a special scoring mechanism used during the league's team match play format. In TGL, matches consist of 15 holes, split into two sessions: nine holes of "Triples" where teams play three players against each other, and six holes of "Singles." The hammer comes into play when a team wins a hole, giving them the opportunity to use it on any subsequent hole.

This strategic element adds an extra layer of excitement and tactical decision-making to the game, differentiating TGL from traditional golf formats.
