On Tuesday, the TGL league finally kicked off. The Bay Golf GC took on the New York Golf Club with several top names from golf attending the event. During the first match, Ludvig Aberg stole the show with his impressive performance. One of his putts even left Tiger Woods stunned.
The Swedish sensation had teamed up with Shane Lowry and Wyndham Clark to take on two-time major champion Xander Schauffele and co. The Bay Golf Club started strong and took a commanding 5-0 lead.
Their fifth point in this match was something that left Woods stunned. Ludvig Aberg would easily roll down a long-range putt to make it 5-0 for his team.
While Aberg was putting, Woods had joined the commentary team. As the youngster sank his putt in, the 15-time major champion would put his hands on his head as he seemingly could not believe that his shot had gone in.
Meanwhile, Xander Schauffele, who had missed his putt earlier, was also seen to have been left stunned. The American just tried to shake his head in disbelief as he failed to win the hole for his team.
The New York GC had to wait long for their first point in the game. Matt Fitzpatrick got them on the board while they were 6-0 down. In the end, the Bay Golf Club ran away as comfortable 9-2 winners in the first match of the TGL.
Tiger Woods steals show in TGL debut with magical moment
When it comes to magical moments in golf, Tiger Woods has several of them. He created another one on the TGL debut and stole the show once again despite not officially playing in the first match.
In a video posted by the TGL, Woods was seen having a chat with Rory McIlroy. During this, he revealed he was asked to hit the camera high on top of the 60-foot giant screen. Woods would later ask where the camera was.
The 49-year-old would accomplish the task in the first attempt. In the video, Woods was seen clearly hitting his shot off the camera. As Woods spoke about the incident, McIlroy seemed intrigued by the effort of the golf veteran.
