TMRW Golf League (TGL) is attracting huge attention, with fans asking a lot of questions regarding this project. Arriving on the golf scene, the league created by Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods caused controversial and quite interesting reactions. There are many who have wondered what this league can bring to golf as a sport, and whether it has the potential to build the foundations for a better future not only of the PGA Tour but also of this sport in general.

This league consists of 24 golfers, who are mostly important faces of the PGA Tour. The 24 players are divided into 6 teams that really look impressive on paper.
However, fans are interested in how much golfers really earn playing in this league.
Mike McCarley, executive director of TMRW Sports, who along with Woods and McIlroy is the founder of the organization, said that the prize fund for the first season is 21 million dollars.
The winning team wins $9 million, which means that each player from the winning team will earn $2.25 million.
The team in second place will earn 4.5 million dollars, while the third place carries 2.25 million dollars.
The fourth place carries 2 million dollars, while the fifth carries 1.75 million dollars.

Great prizes, but will TGL stop there?
It can be said that the prize pool of this competition is very interesting, especially for the teams that are at the bottom. Even if you are not superior in this competition, you have guaranteed money.
This story really has potential in the future, and many believe that the prize fund will grow rapidly from year to year, and possibly attract those who were not so open to performing in TGL.
Given that this sport has started to be based mainly on money, it seems that TGL officials could really make interesting moves, increase the prize and attract well-known names of the golf scene.
