With the beginning of a new year, the duo’s brainchild, TMRW, has been creating massive hype in the golf world. The recent additions to the line-up of TGL Golf have received mixed signals from the fans of the sport. The addition of Max Homa and Billy Horschel to the line-up has definitely added an extra layer of excitement and criticism to the Woods-McIlroy league.

Fans react to TGL Golf signing Max Homa and Billy Horschel

Despite the fact that the two players are very excited to participate in the recent TGL Golf, Golf fans have had varying reactions to the tweet by the Twitter handle Nuclr Golf. Some were very welcoming of the two, others had a different take altogether. Some of the fans have been criticizing the whole league, their question is pretty simple- why is TMRW accepted when LIV golf is being rejected. Fans have actually asked the PGA Tour why Tiger and Rory can have their own league when Norman has been protested for doing the same.

Criticizing the PGA Tour, fans of LIV Golf are questioning why players are allowed to play in TGL Golf. Pro LIV Twitter accounts were quick to capitalize on the current two additions by pulling their legs. Fans have thrashed the whole tour and did not hesitate to hit below the belt by comparing it to crap. Most importantly, they could not bear the hypocritical stance of the PGA Tour. They even accused TGL golf of being a money-laundering scheme.
