This post was originally published on this site.

The second season of TGL will begin Sunday, Dec. 28, with a rematch of the inaugural championship series.

The simulator golf league co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy announced Monday that the defending champions Atlanta Drive GC and the New York Golf Club will face off in the season-opening match. It will be played at 3 p.m. ET and be broadcast on ABC while competitors CBS and Fox carry Week 17 NFL games.

Atlanta Drive GC feature Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Lucas Glover. New York’s team is made up of Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Cameron Young and Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick.

Atlanta swept New York in the best-of-three championship series last March to wrap up the first season of the league, which plays 15-hole matches in a purpose-built arena in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

TGL announced that the full schedule will be published in September. The TGL season will run through March.
