Was Tiger Woods’s TGL fault-ridden?
However, the crew of Drop Zone – Golf Podcast had a few criticisms about the entire setup. They discussed the same in one of their podcasts a few hours ago. At first, Dylan Dethier shared what he loved about the event. He talked about the amazing pace of play due to the “shot clock” and the organic banter between the golfers. He highlighted how banter can become cringey in some leagues if it’s forced. However, that was not the case during TGL’s launch event.
He explained how due to the amazing pace of the game at TGL, the banter becomes more natural. Even the usage of the hammer gives the pros many opportunities for a bit of “back and forth”. Dethier mentions how Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark stole the show with their fun interactions. However, he did believe that there could have been a little more banter to improve the excitement of the match.
Dylan stated that he was not impressed with the manner in which TGL’s Hammer was implemented. He believed that the way the Hammer was used was a bit underwhelming. The Drop Zone host suggested that the point at which a player uses the Hammer should be a bit more animatic. He stated “We need a real hammer,” suggesting that having an actually hammer on the course will be much more exciting for the viewers.
TGL’s gets criticized further
Moreover, TGL spokesperson, Adam Freifeld also confirmed that the first round included paid actors hired as “seat fillers”. This received a lot of backlash from the fans who were upset about the statement TGL had made earlier. Previously, another representative of TGL had rubbished the rumors of the league hiring actors.
