On the 9th, the American sports media ESPN reported, "The average viewership for the first TGL match, which opened on the 8th (local time), was 919,000." The first TGL match, featuring top-ranked players from the PGA Tour, was held in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. ESPN explained, "The viewership of 919,000 exceeds that of the LIV Golf tournaments held in 2023 and 2024. It also surpasses the viewership of last week's PGA Tour season opener, The Sentry."

TGL is a screen golf competition unfamiliar to general fans. Despite Woods and McIlroy not yet having played, the league has shown a relatively smooth start. The regular season of TGL, featuring Woods, McIlroy, Kim Joo-hyung, and others, will continue until early March, followed by playoffs.
