TGL teammates Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young make late night TV show appearance
TGL teammates Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Cameron Young made a late-night TV appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The TGL is a new tech-infused league set to begin on January 7, with six teams competing at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. This league is the brainchild of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who are co-founders.
On Monday, November 25, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Cameron Young, members of the New York Golf Club, appeared in a segment on Jimmy Fallon's show. During the segment, Fallon asked the team members about various topics, including the SoFi Center.
"Xander and I have been down to see the Sofi Center, and it's impressive. You can see pictures, but it really doesn't do it justice until you actually see it in person," he said.
Following some chat, the group played a little chipping challenge with Fallon. Here's the video of their segment on Tonight Show.
For the uninitiated, Fallon is among the seven celebrity investors of the New York Golf Club. Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, Michael Strahan, and John McEnroe, alongside Cohen Private Ventures, are the other investors.
Fowler is one of the most popular golfers at the moment and has won 10 titles on the PGA Tour, including the 2015 Players Championship. He has also been part of several Ryder Cups and the Presidents Cup.
Schauffele is World No. 2 and has been one of the most consistent players of recent times. This season, he won two Major championships and made multiple top-10 finishes.
Fitzpatrick won the US Open in 2022 and has won a couple of titles on the PGA Tour. Young is a New York native and a promising young player. He became the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2022.
