What is new in the next TGL match? Exploring the new features for the fourth match of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy's League

TGL's much anticipated next match is between the league's co-founders Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy along with their respective Jupiter Links Golf Club and Boston Common Golf teams. The match will take place at the innovative SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Monday, January 27, at 6:30 PM EST.

Jupiter Links Golf Club will see Tiger Woods, Kevin Kisner, and Tom Kim step up as Max Homa sits this out. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, and Keegan Bradley will represent Boston Common Golf and tee off first on the opening hole. They will also begin the match with possession of the Hammer. The above lineup represents the order of play for both the Triples and Singles segments of TGL's Match 4.

Compared to TGL's last match between New York Golf Club and Atlanta Drive Golf Club, there are a few differences to the virtual golf course. Match 4 will see the addition of three new golf holes.

Sidewinder is the first of TGL's new additions for this week's event. The par 5 hole will be played as the fourth hole and measures 571 yards. The layout features penalty areas surrounding the outline of the hole as well as an area right in front of the green. With incredibly slopey fairways, it also has six fairway bunkers and three greenside bunkers.

Next on TGL's additions, is the eighth hole named the Hatchet. The par 4 hole measures 228 yards and has one penalty area. The water hazard is located on the right side of the hole in front of the green. The hole features four massive bunkers and one little bunker in the fairway 32 yards apart on the 69-yard wide fairway.

With TGL's 15-hole matches, Pin Oak is the last of its new additions and will be played as the last hole. The par 5 hole measures 579 yards and has penalty areas throughout the hole, which leaves players with a 57-yard wide fairway to work with.
