Two of golf’s biggest stars will be joining the prime-time Golf series headed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy starting in just over a year.

It was announced Tuesday that Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas are joining TGL, a prime-time golf series that will play Monday nights starting in January 2024.

Both Rahm and Thomas are former No. 1-ranked players in the Official World Golf Rankings. They will join the league that will see six teams of three compete, meaning that there are 14 golfers still to be named.

Thomas, via a press release:

“Team golf events have always been highlights throughout my career, as the us vs them mentality fuels my competitive spirit. I am proud to be a foundational player of TGL and while I am eager to test my skills once the league launches, I am eager to be a voice alongside Tiger, Rory and Jon, in helping to shape the league, and help expand the audience for the sport I love.”

Rahm, who has won two of his last four tournaments worldwide, was also intrigued by the concept of the made-for-TV series:

“As an avid user of the latest tech in golf with launch monitors, simulators and virtual greens and my personal passion for gaming, I immediately recognized the potential for TGL to introduce golf to a broader global audience — especially younger fans. I’m proud to announce my commitment to compete and help shape the future of golf for the next generation.”

The series will use a mix of virtual-reality simulators and a live short-game complex that will be surrounded by fans. Each event will be fitted into a two-hour television window for 17 straight weeks.
