Today's loaded golf slate continues with The Bay Golf Club taking on the Atlanta Drive Golf Club at the SoFi Center at 4 p.m. ET.
Atlanta enters this matchup on a back-to-back after opening the day against Los Angeles Golf Club, and things won't get any easier here.
Here are our top golf picks and Atlanta Drive Golf Club vs. The Bay Golf Club predictions for this The Golf League matchup on Monday, February 17.
TGL prediction for Atlanta Drive Golf Club vs The Bay Golf Club
The Bay Golf Club moneyline (-110 at FanDuel)
I am simply riding the hot hand here as The Bay Golf Club features Ludvig Aberg, who is coming off his second TOUR victory at The Genesis Invitational this past weekend. It was a dramatic finish for a player whom many, including myself, consider one of the sport’s next big stars.
Joining Aberg are Wyndham Clark and Min Woo Lee, forming a dangerous trio looking to move The Bay Golf Club to 2-0 on the campaign. Aberg and Clark are both near the top of the World Golf Rankings, making them serious threats to Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay.
JT and Cantlay are joined by Lucas Glover, who will sit in the team’s first matchup of the day and then rotate in for Billy Horschel against The Bay Golf Club. With all due respect to Glover, someone has to be the weakest player in these matchups, and among the other five names, that distinction falls on him
Given Aberg’s recent win, I would argue that The Bay Golf Club has the strongest golfer in this matchup. It's going to be a tough day for Atlanta Drive Golf Club, and I have it losing both of the first two matchups of Monday’s triple-header.

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.
