What is the hammer in TGL? Explaining the unique scoring rules for Tiger Woods' golf league
- The league formed and owned by Tiger Woods brings a unique twist on the competition, offering players the ability to combine simulated and traditional golf. The matches have a number of never-before-seen factors that have to be considered by the participants.
The article from MSN Sports discusses the unique scoring system of TGL, a new golf league co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. TGL introduces a concept called "the hammer," which is a special scoring mechanism used during the league's team match play format. In TGL, matches consist of 15 holes, split into two sessions: nine holes of "Triples" where teams play three players against each other, and six holes of "Singles." The hammer comes into play when a team wins a hole, giving them the opportunity to use it on any subsequent hole. When a team uses the hammer, they can double the points for that hole if they win it, but they risk losing double points if they lose. This strategic element adds an extra layer of excitement and tactical decision-making to the game, differentiating TGL from traditional golf formats.
