New Tiger Woods TGL clip prompts unanimous reaction

Tiger Woods has become the latest player to test out the giant simulator ahead of the launch of TGL.

Tomorrow Golf League, the technology-driven competition headlined by the 15-time major champion and Rory McIlroy, will air for the first time on 7 January.

Matches will take place at the SoFi Center, a purpose-built arena, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

There are six teams in the league, comprising of the very best PGA Tour players.

There are no LIV Golf players in action.

ESPN uploaded a clip of Woods testing out the simulator on 13 January.

Recently, Billy Horschel and Justin Rose appeared to be gobsmacked when they saw the venue for the very first time.

Unsurprisingly, golf fans got excited when they saw the clip of Woods.

“First driver swing we’ve seen in a long time,” one X user said.

Another added: “The swing looks great, he’s still got it.”

The 82-time PGA Tour winner is scheduled to make his latest injury comeback next week when he competes in the PNC Championship with his teenage son Charlie.

Woods, who turns 49 later this month, has not played any form of competitive golf since he missed the cut at this summer’s Open Championship at Royal Troon.

He underwent his sixth career back surgery in September to alleviate the pain he was feeling and to prevent further spasms.

Woods made his first public appearance since that surgery earlier in the month when he hosted the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

Once again, he was hesitant to make any declarations about what his playing schedule could look like in 2025.

Approximately 12 months ago, Woods suggested he could play at least one event per month, including the four major championships.

But that failed to materialise.

Watch the latest clip here:

The opening contest of the 15-match season sees New York Golf Club – comprised of Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young – face The Bay Golf Club side of Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee and Shane Lowry.

TGL is run by TMRW Sports, the sports company launched by Woods and McIlroy in August 2022.

Tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams along with NBA superstar Stephen Curry and Liverpool owners the Fenway Sports Group are among the backers.
