Rory McIlroy’s TGL team-mate makes comment that will worry him and Tiger Woods
Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods have been given cause for concern by a star who has yet to make his debut in their TGL venture. The new virtual concept, designed to attract a new audience to the sport, was launched in Palm Beach Gardens on January 7.
The opening night at the SoFi Centre attracted a television audience of more than 919,000 people, and the number was soon elevated when Woods made his first appearance.
But interest has since seemingly dropped, leading to doubts about whether the project is sustainable long-term.
As for McIlroy, his Boston Commons team have got off to a difficult start, beaten 4-3 in overtime by Woods’ Jupiter Links and also hammered by Los Angeles 6-2. The Northern Irishman however, will be hoping Hideki Matsuyama makes an impact when he debuts alongside him next Monday night.
However, the Japanese star has now revealed he’s not even bothered to watch a full TGL show so far. And ahead of his defence of the Genesis Invitational this week, he didn’t give off the aura of a man excited to get going.
