And now, it seems that Tiger Woods has personally taken a step towards promoting TGL just like his adversary from Saudi Arabia. NUCLRGOLF announced on X that the GOAT will be collaborating with famed YouTube golfer Grant Horvat. Well, let us remind you that one of Woods’s greatest rivals; Phil Mickelson has been doing something similar in an attempt to shed some positive light on LIV Golf. The 2021 PGA Championship winner is a familiar face on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel, having already featured in several challenges.
Tiger Woods’s TGL ‘reimagined’ golf just like LIV?
When asked his thoughts on TGL, the Irishman said “I think the first thing that I would like people to know is it’s golf, but it’s reimagined. Sort of trying to take golf into the 21st century. And we have teams where there’s a lot of Technology involved trying to bring it into the digital era, a lot of things that we’ve taken from other sports. Um like a shock clock at times. All things you don’t see in regular golf so you know trying to appeal to that. You know, that bigger sports audience right there?”
This reads a lot like what Greg Norman & his associates had in mind back in 2022, doesn’t it? That is what LIV Golf had pitched to the fans when they initially launched their project as well. But at that time, McIlroy had bashed the league, saying, “There’s no one [who will join]. It’s dead in the water, in my opinion. I just can’t see any reason why anyone would go.”
