Los Angeles, California – Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, was recently seen testing the TGL setup at the SoFi Center, leading to speculation about the formation of a Texas-based team in the tech-infused golf league. The TGL, co-owned by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and TMRW Sports, is scheduled to begin its second season later this month, featuring six existing teams. Reports have emerged indicating that the league has filed trademarks for both Texas and Chicago-based teams, with the Texas team expected to launch in 2027.
As a Dallas native, Scheffler did not participate in the inaugural season of the TGL. However, his recent activities at the SoFi Center have reignited interest in his potential involvement, particularly with a Texas team. Additionally, fellow Texan Jordan Spieth has previously suggested that a Dallas venue could increase the chances of both him and Scheffler joining the league.
