Although there was skepticism from the first day of the announcement of TGL, tech based league, it turned out that the majority changed their opinion regarding this project. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, the creators of this competition, wanted to offer PGA fans, as well as golf fans, something completely different from what they have seen so far.

The company TMRW, where both are also owners, invested $50 million in this project, more precisely the construction of the TGL arena in Florida.
That proves enough how seriously they took this project.
The average viewership of this competition so far is 800,000, with various matches attracting different attention.
Well-known journalists from the world of golf, such as journalist Dan Rapaport, stress that the current season has proven to be a success. Although he is aware that some consider this to be false information, he points out that TV ratings are the best answer to that.
Weve seen enough to make this declaration: TGL, at least season one, is a success, Rapaport said, as reported by Fox Sports.
Look, you might not like it. You might think its corny. Its not real golf.

You might think the tech stinks. Thats fine. Thats your prerogative.
But at the end of the day, this is an entertainment product designed for television, and the ultimate measure of its success will be TV ratings, and more than a month in, the TV ratings have been pretty damn good.
Bobby Reagan reacts to TGL
Some journalists, like Bobby Reagan from Barstool Sports, think that TGL is especially fun because we can see the other side of individual golfers' personalities, which is probably a factor that golf has been missing all these years. There are many factors about TGL that excite fans, with clear indications that TGL could become the future of golf.
Although everyone has the right to an opinion, and even dissatisfaction with this project, it is obvious that TGL has a great perspective.
