The TGL Finals get underway on Monday evening, with Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club battling it out for the inaugural title.
After 17 matches and 255 holes, these two teams will face off in a best-of-three series to see who is crowned the 2025 TGL champion.
Having finished third and fourth respectively in the standings, Atlanta and New York upset the top two in the semifinals and will now face a 15-hole clash in Match One at the SoFi Center in Florida.

A crushing 9-3 victory over The Bay in the semis has seen Atlanta Drive installed as favorites to win match one of the Finals.
Patrick Cantlay was the star of the singles in the semifinal clash, but was ably assisted by Billy Horschel and Justin Thomas as they eased past The Bay's Min Woo Lee, Shane Lowry and Ludvig Aberg.
It’s worth noting though that their path would have been tougher had Wyndham Clark, who led the TGL in most stats categories for The Bay, not pulled out through a neck injury.
It might not have been as emphatic, but New York saw off top-seed Los Angeles 6-4 despite LA having won four of their five regular-season matches.
After a slow start to the tournament, NYGC has really stepped up over recent weeks and confidence should be high amongst their three-man team.
Xander Schauffele is now seemingly back to full fitness, highlighted by his T12 finish at last week’s PGA Tour event, the Valspar Championship.
Meanwhile, teammates Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young are tied for second in the ‘Total Points Won’ stats in TGL, collecting 19 each en route to the finals.
Fowler is also only second to Clark for ‘Triples Points Won’ and ‘Triples Holes Won’ and could be key to finals success.
The two teams clashed in what was only the third-ever TGL match, with Atlanta running out 4-0 winners as New York failed to win a hole.
That was very early in the competition and New York was without Schauffele, who was replaced by Matt Fitzpatrick.
Since then, New York has won three matches and will hope their recent success on the greens can help them get the better of Atlanta. Two of the three players at the top of the TGL ‘Long Putts’ stats represent New York: Young and Fowler.
New York also leads Atlanta when it comes to triple points won during the regular season, with 17 compared to their opponent’s 11.
Young is the longest hitter amongst the remaining golfers, averaging 328.1 yards, and with six par-fives amongst the 15 holes they will play, that extra length could prove significant. As a result, New York is well set up for success in match one of the Finals.
The Atlanta Drive team has started well in recent matches and will look to try and get an early advantage on Monday.
The trio of Cantlay, Thomas and Horschel have taken the lead in their last three TGL games, with Atlanta going 2-0 up in the first three holes against The Bay in the semifinals.
Prior to that matchup, Atlanta were 2-0 up against Jupiter and 1-0 ahead against Boston after three holes.
It’s also worth noting that Atlanta took a 1-0 lead after three holes of their success over New York in the regular season, so back them to take an early lead in the Finals.
Atlanta Drive GC | -138 |
New York Golf Club | +100 |
