TGL has expanded to seven teams and five-player rosters for its third season, adding 14 new pros to its lineup while four players from the first two seasons are gone. The team golf league, which plays in a simulator-based arena at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, opens its 2027 season on Dec. 27.
Key takeaways
- TGL grew to seven teams for 2027, adding expansion club Motor City Golf Club.
- Brooks Koepka, a five-time major champion, headlines Motor City's roster.
- Fourteen pros joined the league's rosters, including PGA Tour winners Chris Gotterup and Ryan Fox.

Who is new to TGL for 2027?
Brooks Koepka leads the incoming class as the headline signing for Motor City Golf Club, the league's new seventh franchise. He joins a Motor City roster that also added Si Woo Kim, Jake Knapp and Bud Cauley. Six more established pros filled out other rosters: Ryan Fox at The Bay Golf Club, Keith Mitchell at Jupiter Links Golf Club and Ben Griffin at New York Golf Club among them.
Seven additional signings came from the PGA Tour's younger ranks. Chris Gotterup, the World No. 6 and a three-time 2026 Tour winner, joins Atlanta Drive alongside fellow rookie signing Michael Brennan. Alex Fitzpatrick will play for New York Golf Club alongside his brother Matt Fitzpatrick, while Jackson Koivun, Michael Thorbjornsen and Blades Brown round out the incoming group across Motor City, Boston Common and The Bay.
TGL's expansion franchise lured a five-time major champion, a sign the league has moved past relying on Tiger Woods alone to draw top names.
