Rory McIlroy sheds light on what TGL hopes to achieve

The European Tour is hosting its season finale, the DP World Tour Championship where Rory will earn a bonus of $1 million. It is given to the winner of the Race to Dubai, which he won last week. This has already raised the spirits of the Irish golfer.

While attending the press conference for the event, Rory was asked about TGL from a European and global perspective, and what it is bringing to the party, to which the Irishman gave an answer which exposed his key audience. He said, “Younger people hopefully” who are the future of the game. 

So, TGL is trying to get the younger generations involved and trying to have them somehow relate to the game in some way. He added, “So yeah, just a different demographic, trying to put golf on a slightly different platform, and you know if we can increase the interest in the game for a younger demographic.”

He continued, “Hopefully golf doesn’t look like what we are doing in TGL 50 years from now because it is a game to be played outdoors and on golf courses and in the fresh air.”
