Last night's match between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in the TGL league could have a huge impact on the popularity of this innovative league. Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are the two most recognizable faces of the golf scene, even for those who have never followed this sport.

TGL is a league that wants to combine traditional golf with modern technology, and looking at the TV ratings and reactions, it seems that they are on a great path. Although TGL has had great ratings so far, after last night's match such ratings could increase.
Reasons for that?
Tiger Woods, a man with an incredible career and such successes, attracts everyone's attention, and just his participation in tournaments of this type arouses the excitement of fans.
On the other hand, Rory McIlroy, also one of the biggest stars, fits perfectly into the atmosphere of this competition. McIlroy and Tiger Woods had several cozy scenes last night, showing another side of their personalities, the one that golf fans have been dying to see.
Namely, McIlroy joked at one point, mocking Tiger's eyesight and his age. Tiger Woods previously mocked McIlroy's attempt, at the moment when Rory's team doubled the points.

Rory did not take advantage of the opportunity, and Tiger Woods raised the hammer and ironically swung it, causing positive reactions from the audience. Such humorous moments, where the two show friendship and not just competition, can arouse the audience's interest even more.
If TGL continues to go in this direction, it is certain that this league could do wonders on the golf scene.
Some believe that other golfers will also have to create an entertaining factor in order for TGL to grow day by day. Tiger and Rory are of course under scrutiny, and their every step in this competition is closely watched. We have no doubt that the two of them will know how to "spice up" the atmosphere.
