Tiger Woods‘ distaste for LIV Golf long predates the $3 Billion merger. He announced an innovative league of his own when the news about the Saudi-backed tour broke ground substantially. Even though Woods and Rory McIlroy‘s TGL isn’t going to be up and running till the beginning of 2024, the anticipation for the tech-based gameplay is extremely palpable.
As a steady competitor to LIV Golf despite the merger with the PGA Tour where Woods sits as a recently-appointed Player Director, the GOAT Golfer does not cease to deliver blows. A new piece of information has shaken the golfing community wherein the legendary golfer’s association with a giant will put LIV Golf in jeopardy.
Since the 3 player team announcement for TGL, sports personalities including tennis star Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian bought one of the teams. Now, a massive capitalist known in the business world for his keen sense of acquisition has purchased another team on TGL.
The acquisition by Billionaire Arthur Blank is another massive spike in cash flow for the 82-time PGA Tour winner’s brainchild. Blank has formerly invested in two sports leagues before, namely NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer’s Atlanta United. He has decided to venture into Golf this time to support fellow billionaire Tiger Woods and his groundbreaking league.
The CEO of Home Depot has a reputation for his business acumen and this particular partnership with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy promises a fruitful future for all parties. Most importantly, Tiger Woods seems to have delivered yet another blow to LIV Golf with this new tie-up.

The innovative idea that drew the investor of NFL and MLS teams for a substantial investment in a TGL team is truly inspiring. To tackle slow play and unfavorable weather conditions, the legendary golfer has planned to a tee to surpass those drawbacks.
TGL is a tech-based team where groups of three will play against each other on Monday nights. There are talks about the games taking place in major stadiums in the United States. The play will take place on life-size simulators and some of the top players from the PGA Tour are already locked in. The golf world is abuzz with anticipation to see how the virtual play fares against country clubs hosting the royal sport.
