Tiger Woods' TGL has been joined by talented American golfer Keegan Bradley. He had a spectacular 2022-23 season on the PGA Tour with six top 10 finishes including two wins.
In a recent press release by the tech-forward league which is presented by SoFi, it was announced that three professional golfers namely, Cam Young, Keegan Bradley and Sahith Theegala have joined.
Keegan Bradley, who won the ZOZO Championship and the Travelers Championship this season on the PGA Tour, also shared his statement in the press release. He said that the TGL would "appeal to a lot of people" who love any sport, not just golf.
"As a sports fan, I think TGL is going to appeal to a lot of people who simply love to watch sports in general and not just golf. ESPN is the perfect partner for TGL and I can't wait to be a part of one of these teams and contribute in any way that I can," Bradley said.
