Not Rickie Fowler or Justin Thomas, 8x PGA Tour Champ Voted the ‘Face’ of Tiger Woods’ Tech League As End Nears

One more win and Atlanta Drive GC takes home $9 million. The first-ever TGL finals kicked off on Monday night with an intense showdown between Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club. The two are competing in a best-of-three series, and after a thrilling back-and-forth match, Atlanta holds a 1-0 lead heading into Game 2 on Tuesday at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Atlanta extended its lead on the fourth hole in dramatic fashion. Billy Horschel’s approach shot from 230 yards came dangerously close to landing in the hazard, but instead, it cleared the trouble by just a foot and got a lucky forward bounce, settling just nine feet from the pin.

Then, Patrick Cantlay took full advantage, draining the eagle putt to give Atlanta a two-point cushion. And well, there is in fact no doubt in the fact that Billy Horschel did indeed come out to be the star of the show. And the best part? No one even expected him to be so. He was the underdog throughout!

New York threw the hammer before Young’s putt, which he confidently drained, putting NYGC ahead 4-2. Atlanta responded immediately on the next hole. Fowler’s putt slid just low of the cup. Sensing an opportunity, Horschel decided to throw a hammer. New York accepted the challenge, but he confidently drained his 11-foot putt, bringing the match back to an even 4-4. Taking to his first set of heroics, people left comments like, “Play the next Presidents Cup at TGL, and Billy Horschel might beat the Internationals by himself,” and “Billy Horschel is the face of the TGL? Did not have that on my bingo card.”
