Today's TGL tripleheader concludes with Boston Common Golf taking on The Bay Golf Club at the SoFi Center at 7 p.m. ET.
It will be The Bay Golf Club’s second contest of the day following their matchup against the Atlanta Drive Golf Club, while Boston Common Golf looks to claim its first win of the season.
Here are our top golf picks, TGL predictions, and a breakdown of the format for Monday, February 17th’s matchup.
TGL prediction for The Bay Golf Club vs Boston Common Golf
The Bay Golf Club (+110 at FanDuel)
Boston Common Golf has struggled significantly in this simulator format, and I am pessimistic about its chances moving forward. First, the team faltered on the greens in its latest loss to Los Angeles Golf Club.
Struggling on the greens would be a disaster against a putter of Wyndham Clark’s caliber. He is joined by Shane Lowry and Ludvig Aberg to round out The Bay Golf Club’s dominant trio.
Aberg is also coming off his TOUR victory at The Genesis Invitational, where he continued to cement himself as one of golf’s next great stars. Aberg birdied four of the final six holes to dramatically edge out Maverick McNealy by one shot.
While Boston Common Golf’s Rory McIlroy will likely hold his own, I'm skeptical of Keegan Bradley and Hideki Matsuyama’s chances of keeping pace with Aberg and Clark. Bradley is simply not on the level of either player, while Matsuyama has yet to compete in this unique simulator venue.
If Matsuyama struggles to adapt quickly to a format that has already troubled his teammates, McIlroy may not be able to compensate. Given Aberg’s recent form and Clark’s elite putting, Boston Common Golf will face serious challenges.

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.
