Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, among the founders and creators of the TGL, are the big ones excluded from the play-offs of the new technological golf league. Their respective teams, the Californian Jupiter Golf Links, and the Northern Irish Boston Commons, were in fact eliminated at the end of the regular season without managing to get a pass to the semifinals that will start on March 17.
Woods' team, which will play its last match with Atlanta Drive today, in fact needed a victory for Boston against New York to continue to hope. No way, McIlroy and his teammates were defeated, thus closing the regular season without even a single victory.
