Rory McIlroy's golf league TGL has drawn strong comparisons to the format of their LIV Golf rivals, but the four-time major winner has been quick to rubbish the similarities
Rory McIlroy has claimed LIV Golf are in 'no man's land', after the Northern Irishman explained the key difference between his soon-to-be launched league TGL, and the Saudi-backed series.
A total of 24 players - including McIlroy and Woods - are set to compete across six teams in the custom-built SoFi Center, that includes a state-of-the-art golf simulator, as well as an in-house chipping and putting area named the 'green zone'.The league's pull away from traditional golf, and its team-based competition has seen it draw comparisons to its rivals at LIV Golf. McIlroy though, was quick to bust this myth.
"I don't want to sit here and talk about LIV but you could make the argument that they haven't innovated enough from what traditional golf is, or they have innovated too much that they not traditional golf. They are sort of caught in no-man's land, whereas this is so far removed from what we know golf to be."
