The PGA Tour and the DP World Tour were the only regal associations in the golf world. But last year, LIV Golf, a Saudi-backed league, got included in the golf roaster. Since then, several negative opinions and indifferences have come from golfers. Two names who actively protested against LIV Golf were Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Now, these two have introduced a rival league of LIV Golf called the TGL. It’s a tech-based league that will cater to the future of golf. Moreover, many investors have shown interest in this initiative, such as Michelle Wie West and Alex Morgan, who would provide financial backing to the LA Golf team. Alongside them, joins another billion-dollar friend.

Also, the American soccer player showed her interest in the same. The list of investors for TGL also includes big investors like Stephen Curry, Shohei Ohtani, Tony Romo, and others.
