We have a full day of TGL ahead, starting with the Atlanta Drive Golf Club taking on the Los Angeles Golf Club at the SoFi Center.
Los Angeles is sitting its best player in Collin Morikawa, but it is still the team to back at plus-money to kick off today's TGL tripleheader.
Here are our top golf picks, TGL predictions, and a breakdown of the format for this matchup on Monday, February 17 at 1 p.m. ET.
TGL prediction for Atlanta Drive Golf Club vs Los Angeles Golf Club
Los Angeles Golf Club moneyline (+110 at FanDuel)
This number is only returning plus money because of Collin Morikawa's absence. While the loss of its best player is obviously a huge blow, I still want to back the best TGL team at great odds.
Los Angeles Golf Club has been unbeatable, only losing one of the 30 holes it has played thus far. It has won both matches, and you could argue that Tommy Fleetwood has played nearly as well as Morikawa.
Fleetwood is one of the only golfers in this league to hit every fairway thus far, and he also fared well on these unique greens. Speaking of Fleetwood, he just finished T5 at The Genesis Invitational, marking his second Top-5 finish over his past four TOUR events.
Teammates Sahith Theegala and Justin Rose have also found themselves within the Top 5 of recent TOUR events, and this team has the juice to take down Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, and Billy Horschel. The biggest concern here is JT, but Fleetwood has been just as strong and can go shot-for-shot with the opposing team’s best player, making +110 a line worth a shot.

How does the TGL work?
Each TGL — Tomorrow’s Golf League — match delivers high-stakes competition and strategy across two sessions. It begins with a nine-hole, 3-on-3 alternate-shot format called "triples." Then, golfers will battle in head-to-head singles consisting of six holes, with each playing two.
Additionally, a 40-second shot clock will keep the pace fast, with any violation costing the player one stroke. Every hole awards a point. There are also two more unique twists:
-
Each team has two timeouts per session available.
-
There is a “Hammer” that can be played at any time to increase the value of the hole by one point. One team starts the match with it (Jupiter Links Golf Club on Jan. 7), and then possession of the Hammer is switched once it’s played. When the Hammer is played against a team, that team can decline it but concede the hole.
If the teams are tied at the end, the match heads to overtime, where players face off, and the team landing the closest shot to the pin secures the win.
The players will hit into a massive 64-by-53-foot screen that’s 24 times larger than the typical golf simulator. Players will also be hitting off real grass fairways and rough and tackling sand sourced from a rare variety found at just one other course in the southeastern United States.
Once the ball reaches the green, the action shifts to the GreenZone — a 41-yard-wide turntable green capable of replicating countless hole configurations, adding a dynamic twist to the short game.
