TGL Delivers
TGL finally lived up to the hype. Jupiter Links GC took down Boston Common in the first ever overtime session in TGL history on Monday night. Unlike in previous matches, this week’s competition was close, the mic’d up moments were memorable and most importantly there was some quality golf shots. Tom Kim made his debut for Jupiter and was the missing piece we didn’t know we needed. It remains to be seen if TGL can continue to keep fans interested when the top stars aren’t playing, however.
🚨⛳️🌴 WINNERS— Jupiter Links defeats Boston Common in overtime.

Justin Thomas Sends Letter
Last week, amidst low TV ratings and lack of hype among PGA TOUR events, Justin Thomas took matters into his own hands, sending a letter to membership urging players to step up their efforts to engage with fans.

Dottie Pepper Calls out Slow Play
CBS Sports’ on course announcer Dottie Pepper was not impressed at the pace of play during The Farmers Insurance, calling it out on the broadcast. “I think we’re starting to need a new word to talk about this pace of play issue, and it’s respect… “For your fellow competitors, for the fans, for broadcasts, for all of it. It’s just gotta get better.”
