‘Worse’: Tiger Woods & Rory McIlroy’s TGL Faces Backlash as Latest Moves Leaves Fans Unimpressed
Money is not enough to get the support of the fans. And Woods-Rory’s venture, TGL, has faced the brunt of it. The tech-infused league has been marred by numerous struggles, from the collapse of the So-Fi dome to the delay in the league’s commencement for over a year.
Despite the damage, Woods has been optimistic about his futuristic league. “Bring a fresh, modern, and fast-paced twist to the game we all love so much.” That is what the 48-year-old had to say about his TMRW Golf League (TGL). But TGL has caused a stir among the fans, as they were not impressed by its recent move. What is it that the fans did not like?
In an X post shared by NUCLR GOLF, the newly launched apparel by the renowned clothing line Greyson for the Woods and McIlroy’s new league was showcased. However, only half of the six TGL teams have posted their apparel. These include two hoodies for the Boston Common Golf Club and one hoodie for the Los Angeles Golf Club and the Atlanta Drive GC each. The caption’s conclusion drove the whole comment section as it asked, “Will you be making a purchase?”
This is not the first time that the tech league has faced disapproval from the golfing community. Previously, another question regarding TGL was put up on social media, but the answers were not as welcoming as people would have hoped. In response to an X post earlier this year that asked,“Will you be watching?” the 2025 TGL, they said things like, “This is going to be big-time failure”, and “extremely boring.”
After the revelation of the hoodies, netizens had some not-so-sweet comments for the newly launched apparel and the league as well.
What did the people on the web have to say about the TGL Team Apparel?
The PGA Tour has partnered with TMRW Sports to make the TGL a reality, and it’s no secret that the biggest rival of the PGA Tour in the present scenario is LIV Golf. The format of the Saudi-backed league is different from that of the American circuit. They not only employ a 54-hole format but also use team formats along with solo plays. Pointing to the team play at TGL, a user took a sarcastic dig: “lets copy everything LIV does.”
Out of the three teams, one fan was particularly unimpressed with the logo and design of Rory McIlroy‘s captained team. One of Boston Common Golf’s hoodies (the navy blue one) features a frog print. A web user expressed their frustration over the high price of the hoodie, saying, “$200 for a hoodie with some clip art frog?”
One fan did not appreciate the sky-high prices of the apparel for a league that has not yet launched, as the TGL tournament is set to commence in January of next year. The user commented, “$200 for a hoodie for a team we’ve never even seen play together yet. That’s rich,”
Tiger Woods‘s brand, Sun Day Red, has been on the receiving end of criticism since its inception in May 2024 for its high prices. Many felt that the cost of the apparel is not justified given its quality. Linking the high cost of the Sun Day Red and that of TGL Team apparel, a user said, “Almost worse than Sun Day Red.”
TGL teams are not the first whose logos got trolled. Back in 2022, when Fried Egg Golf released the logos of LIV Golf teams, netizens did not hold back in sharing their thoughts. One fan recollected the same instance and drew a comparison between the past and the current situation, saying,“Where are all the PGA goofballs at that hate on the team logos and merch? They will be the first ones ordering this stuff,” for the logos on the TGL teams’s apparel.
With so much backlash even before the commencement, how do you think the TMRW Golf League (TGL) will do when it begins?
