TGL had its closest match of the inaugural season on Tuesday, with Atlanta Avenue Golf Club and New York Golf Club separated by just two points on the front nine. But Atlanta pulled away over the final six holes and won 4-0.
TGL is a new team golf league where teams go head-to-head in a game split between a large simulator and a unique green that adjusts to match the exact position of the ball in the simulator for short shots .
Justin Thomas, Billy Horschel and Patrick Cantlay played for Atlanta. Lucas Glover did not play in the team's first game of the season. For New York, Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ricky Fowler are all playing, while Xander Schauffele is out.
After being eliminated by Gulf Golf Club in the season opener, New York GC's rivalry with Atlanta Avenue GC intensified. In addition to the head-to-head matches, the game also provided some fun moments, including Billy Horschel's “Dirty Bird” dance as he exited the game for Atlanta.
Here are the highlights from Atlanta Avenue GC and New York GC.

Horschel showed his love to Atlanta during his retirement, flashing a flashy “Dirty Bird” chain and starting to dance as he walked to the green before the game.

Clearly, playing golf in a unique arena isn't enough of a challenge for the world's best players. Players take it to the next level and challenge each other to try and hit the three-story-high camera. Thomas almost hit the camera while trying.
