Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom Kim and Shane Lowry Join Tiger and Rory's TGL Golf League

The prime-time league starting in January 2024 now has signed 16 players, including 12 who played in last week's Ryder Cup.

The indoor simulator golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy is continuing to land big-name players.

TGL, which Thursday morning announced a broadcast deal with ESPN, revealed the addition of four more players later in the day: Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry and Tom Kim. 

“I have been excited about the TGL since it was announced. Many of my fondest memories in golf have been playing in team competitions," Fleetwood said in a press release. "With the players who have already been announced along with the names and stature of the ownership groups and investors, the league is in position to showcase our sport in a cool format to a new group of viewers and fans."

Fleetwood, Hatton and Lowry are coming off a victorious Ryder Cup, and European teammates Matt Fitzpatrick, Jon Rahm, Justin Rose had previously joined TGL in addition to founder McIlroy.

Five U.S. Ryder Cup players have signed to play: Rickie Fowler, Max Homa, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas. Tom Kim was a standout on the 2022 Presidents Cup International team. Billy Horschel, Adam Scott and Woods round out the 16 players so far named to play, who represent seven countries and claim nine of the top 20 spots in the Official World Golf Rankings.

In the technology-infused TGL, six teams of three players will compete in a 15-match regular season starting in January 2024. The matches will be completed in two hours and broadcast from a custom arena on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., with shots hit into a simulator screen and short-game shots contested on an indoor green. All players will wear microphones.

Ownership groups for four of the six teams have been named, representing Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles and New York.
