On Tuesday, the TGL announced Justin Thomas has signed with Atlanta Drive GC. He’s the first player to officially join a TGL team.
The 2022-23 PGA Tour season didn’t go as planned for Thomas, but his resume speaks for itself. He’s won 15 times on Tour, including the 2017 and 2022 PGA Championships. Thomas has represented the United States at six team events: 2017, 2019 and 2022 Presidents Cups and 2018, 2020 and 2023 Ryder Cups.
The Atlanta Drive GC’s ownership is led by Arthur M. Blank and AMB Sports and Entertainment, which runs the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United and PGA Tour Superstores. The TGL is a tech-infused league headed by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and their joint venture TMRW Sports.
