TGL rookie signings send a promising signal about the league’s future in golf

TGL expands its roster

TGL is adding a seventh team and increasing rosters to five pros each for the 2027 season. The changes come as the league brings in new players and some familiar names leave.

Adam Scott is stepping away before the third season. The article cites the distance between his home and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as a factor, along with the difficulty of managing the logistics in the first two seasons.

Koepka leads Motor City

Brooks Koepka will headline expansion team Motor City Golf Club and is the leading name among the new signings. He has five major championships, while the other free agents named in the article have one combined.

Koepka has described TGL as “something to do,” according to the article, but also suggested the league could offer a competitive edge. Other additions include Ryan Fox for The Bay, Si Woo Kim, Jake Knapp and Bud Cauley for Motor City, Keith Mitchell for Jupiter Links, and Ben Griffin for New York GC.

Young players join TGL

Alex Fitzpatrick, who earned his PGA Tour card alongside his brother Matt at the Zurich Classic, is also a TGL rookie. He will play with Matt for New York.

Atlanta keeps Gotterup

Atlanta retained Chris Gotterup, described as a no-brainer for the team. He was World No. 6 and won the Sony Open, WM Phoenix Open and John Deere Classic in 2026.
