Tiger Woods has been working towards the next generation of golf. Partnering with Rory McIlroy, the golf legend has started TMWR Sports, which focuses on the advancement and development of sports. The company has also given rise to the TGL golf league, which combines tech and golf for the PGA Tour pros. Six players had previously confirmed their place in the 18-player league. And now Woods thanks yet another for his allegiance.

The TGL starts in January next year. They have also partnered up with the PGA Tour and have team events, meaning only Tour players will be involved in the tech infusion. And now only 11 more spots remain.

Woods is certainly excited to have the current world No. 10 on board. He’s the latest addition to the virtual golf league that will be played on a simulator. Fitzpatrick confirmed his place on the TGL not too long ago on a live Instagram video.
