New York Golf Club Stuns Top-Seeded Los Angeles to Reach TGL Finals

The fourth-seeded New York Golf Club defeated Los Angeles 6-3 in the inaugural TGL playoffs, advancing to the championship series starting March 24.

New York Golf Club, led by Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, and Cameron Young, secured a 6-3 victory over Los Angeles Golf Club in the first semifinal.
Los Angeles Golf Club entered the playoffs as the top seed, having dominated the regular season with only one loss in five matches.
New York's accuracy on short putts, converting 75% of attempts within 10 feet compared to Los Angeles' 33%, was pivotal in their upset win.
The TGL's unique 'hammer' rule, which allows teams to double the value of a hole, added strategic depth to the semifinal match.
The finals, a best-of-three series for the SoFi Cup, will begin on March 24, with New York awaiting the winner of Atlanta Drive GC and The Bay GC's semifinal.
