There were a lot of changes for TGL Season 2, with new virtual holes, a new green and some format adjustments intended to further enhance the spectacle.
But there was also a renewed roster for Atlanta Drive GC: Justin Thomas was unavailable after back surgery, and Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover had to withdraw at the last minute.
This didn’t stop the Atlanta team from starting TGL Season 2 having finished first: with a hard-fought victory in the final moments against the ranked New York, featuring Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young.

“I did it again,” said the Floridian, still as comfortable as ever at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. “When you are confronted with something so different, something you could never have imagined, it creates an almost childlike atmosphere, something completely new, something fun that you want to be a part of.” »
The 2025 finale repeats itself, a nearly identical scenario: Atlanta took the lead, let New York come back and then made the difference in the final shots, this time with the addition of one-night-stand Chris Gotterup alongside Billy Horschel and Corey Conners.

Patrick Cantlay, who had shown great mastery of the Hammer strategy during season 1, acted as commentator from the stands, alongside his teammate Justin Thomas. Thomas spent most of his time teasing New Yorker Xander Schauffele about everything from the specifics of his swing to the color of his shirt.
Before that, “JT” had joined his teammates for a pre-game ceremony, during which a banner commemorating Atlanta’s 2025 title was raised in the stands of the SoFi Center. “It is very important to be the first winner,” he noted. “They can’t take that banner away from us.”
