TGL\u2019s second season hits a fever pitch Tuesday with the second of back-to-back days with two matches.<\/p>\n
Tuesday sees New York Golf Club playing twice \u2013 against The Bay Golf Club looking for its second win in a row, and Boston Common Golf eager to lock up their spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Tuesday\u2019s set of matches.<\/p>\n
New York Golf Club: Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler (sitting: Cameron Young) vs. The Bay Golf Club: Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Shane Lowry (sitting: Min Woo Lee) \u2013 at 5 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
Boston Common Golf: Adam Scott, Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley (sitting: Rory McIlroy) vs. New York Golf Club: Cameron Young, Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler (sitting: Matt Fitzpatrick) \u2013 at 9 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
Match 11: New York vs. The Bay<\/p>\n
\u2022 This marks a rematch of the very first TGL match in January 2025, which will also feature the exact same lineup of players (with The Bay defeating New York 9-2).<\/p>\n
\u2022 New York will play both matches of Tuesday\u2019s double header and comes in after an impressive comeback victory over Jupiter Links. New York was down 3-1 early but scored seven unanswered points in the win.<\/p>\n
\u2022 New York sits second in average driving distance and second in short-putt efficiency on the season.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler will play for the second time this season for New York while Matt Fitzpatrick has played every match so far for New York. <\/p>\n
\u2022 After losing its first two matches of the season, The Bay found itself back in the winner\u2019s column thanks to some help from some young stars in Luke Clanton and Neil Shipley. Shipley recorded the first-ever hole-in-one in TGL in The Bay\u2019s 11-5 win over Los Angeles Golf Club.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The Bay boasts its star-studded lineup once again Tuesday night as it looks to continue its momentum. They will need to tighten things up on the ball-striking side if they are hoping to add another win to their ledger \u2013 The Bay has gone from first in driving accuracy and greens in regulation in season one to last in the same two statistical categories.<\/p>\n
Match 12: Boston vs. New York<\/p>\n
\u2022 New York returns with just Cameron Young substituted in for Fitzpatrick in the lineup for the second match of the night.<\/p>\n
\u2022 In the season-one match between New York and Boston, New York rallied to win five points in the final four holes to win 10-6 and advance to the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u2022 New York will clinch a playoff spot if it wins both matches on Tuesday and either Atlanta loses both matches (on Monday) or Atlanta beats Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If Boston loses to Atlanta (on Monday) Boston would clinch a spot in the playoffs with a victory over New York.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama make their season two debuts in TGL, with Rory McIlroy sitting out and Keegan Bradley staying in the lineup.<\/p>\n

Match begins: 9 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+<\/p>\n

\u2022 Overtime \u2013 If the match is tied after 15 holes, the teams will play a best-of-three, closest-to-the-pin competition to decide the winner. This will be similar to penalty kicks in soccer.<\/p>\n
