@XanderLegion TIME TO WAKE UP! X-MAN HAS GONE NUCLR ☢️☢️☢️☢️ @NUCLRGOLF

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

@XanderLegion where did our “king of lag putts” go? 😭😭

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

I miss getting @XanderLegion live updates 😢 We need X-man back ASAP!

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

Yup, Tom Kim is gonna be GREAT in this format. @TGL

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

Starting to get some solid banter from JT and Billy Ho. Feels quieter this week—maybe the competitive vibe is in play? This format has room to evolve, and I’m curious to see where it goes.

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

Let’s take a moment to give @MattBarrie some credit—it can’t be easy filling a couple of hours solo. Hopefully, they’ll bring a golf analyst or former player on set with him soon to add some extra insight to the coverage. @TGL @espn

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

I have to give credit to today’s crop of players for stepping out of their comfort zones to try to grow the game and connect with fans. Their efforts to boost engagement and make golf more #fun is exactly what the sport needs.

[Gabby Herzig @GabbyHerzig]

Justin Thomas just sent this memo to PGA Tour members, obtained by @TheAthletic, about the importance of players being open and accessible to the tour's TV partners: NBC, CBS and ESPN.

"I'm sure many of us feel the telecasts can be better, so let's help them do that."

@BillyHo_Golf 🐐is gonna be SO good in this setting #TGL

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

@XanderLegion @NUCLRGOLF posted TGL lineups. looks like X-man was left off.

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

@InkBets can you fill me in on what happend? I missed it

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

@Daniel_Rapaport This might be why it succeeds. Short clips are the key to reaching viewers who won’t tune in for a four-day tournament. It shows what golf really is—fun.

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

@NUCLRGOLF Absolutely loved it! If teams can build real rivalries and fully embrace the competitive aspect of it, this could easily become a must-watch for me every week!

“a bit like myself, a bit chunky” -Shane Lowry @TGL

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

Damn @TGL……I am having so much fun

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

Great to see @Maxhoma defending #TGL. When players truly buy in, it will elevate the product

[Back Nine Buzz @BackNineBuzz]

I’m not sure TGL will take off immediately, but they’ve clearly spared no expense on the setup. The success or failure might come down to how much the golfers’ personalities shine through. #TGL

[ESPN @espn]
