New York Golf Club vs. Atlanta Drive GC: TGL Picks, Predictions and Odds

The inaugural TGL season continues this week with the third match on the slate pitting New York Golf Club against Atlanta Drive GC at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

New York made a dismal start to their campaign, losing to The Bay Golf Club 9-2 in the tournament opener, and they have made one alteration to their lineup with Cameron Young replacing Xander Schauffele.

The 27-year-old American partners Matt Fitzpatrick and Rickie Fowler as the trio attempt to get the better of the Atlanta side of Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Justin Thomas.

Scheduled to begin at 7 PM ET, there will be plenty of intrigue once again as the new, innovative format looks to keep golf fans enthralled.

New York Golf Club vs. Atlanta Drive GC betting picks and predictions

Atlanta Drive GC to win (-125)

New York Golf Club struggled badly in the first-ever TGL match as they were outplayed by The Bay Golf Club and they will be without star player Schauffele, who has withdrawn from recent events due to medical reasons, for Tuesday's encounter.

His replacement, Young, will be hoping to inject some energy into the team, but the American missed the cut at the American Express last time out and that isn't great form to be bringing into this clash.

Teammate Fitzpatrick has been searching for his best form over the past few months, with his last top-5 finish coming at The Memorial Tournament in June last year.

Fowler has been in better shape, recording finishes of T16-T23-4-T21 in his last four appearances, but he needs help from his two partners and there aren't many signs to suggest that will happen.

It is a completely different story for debutants Atlanta Drive GC, who have the esteemed trio of Cantlay, Thomas and Horschel leading them into battle.

World number 14 Thomas should thrive in these conditions, as there is a lot of banter flying around the two teams, while his runner-up finish at the American Express shows he's swinging it well.

Cantlay, ranked 10th in the world, was tied-fifth last week, adding to his T15 at The Sentry in what has been a positive start to 2025, while Horschel hit some form with a T21 in California.

While the tee-to-green shots are played into the virtual projector, the players still need to putt out on the green in the venue and this bodes well for Atlanta given both Horschel and Cantlay are fantastic putters.

Thomas has also been making positive strides with the flat stick and he ranked 10th in putts per green in regulation and 15th in strokes gained putting last week.

If the Atlanta trio are anywhere close to their best, it should be more than enough to get the better of New York Golf Club, who could be in for another heavy defeat.

Atlanta Drive GC to win the first hole (+300)

While New York will be desperate to make a positive start after the thrashing at the hands of The Bay Golf Club, they could be in for disappointment from the opening hole.

Thomas will take the tee shot on the first hole - a par-four measuring 481 yards - before Horschel steps up to try and find the putting surface.

It is then the turn of Cantlay, one of the best putters on tour, to attempt to sink the birdie and the trio look to have a good chance of making the perfect start to their TGL season.

New York ace Young was wild off the tee at last week's American Express, hitting just 19 of 42 fairways, and that inconsistency with the driver could put his side in trouble early on.

Fitzpatrick hasn't been showing the kind of form he produced a few years ago, when he won the 2022 US Open, while Fowler is still very hit-and-miss in what has been a testing time in his career.

If the New York trio make a slow start, they could find it difficult to haul themselves out of a big hole and the +300 on Atlanta winning the first hole is hard to ignore.
