Tiger Woods Needs Paige Spiranac To Save The TGL Mess

It's hard to fathom Tiger Woods, of all people, created a total sausage-fest. 

Three weeks into the Woods and Rory McIlroy indoor simulator golf experience — the TGL — it is crystal clear that the league is a total mess and needs a Red Bull vodka at the turn. It needs a jolt of energy.

From the ESPN production being a mess to the lack of women anywhere near the production, Tiger invented a golf league that lacks a compelling reason to watch longer than 10 minutes, if that. 

Tiger Woods can save the TGL by bringing in Paige Spiranac, right, and other Instagram golf influencers to play on teams to add a shot of energy to a product that is rather dull. He also needs to hire former Golf Channel sideline reporter Alexandra O'Laughlin (inset) to handle player interviews. (Photo by Megan Briggs/TGL/TGL via Getty Images)

Last night was my first experience with the TGL. It was Atlanta vs. New York. Not that it mattered. Justin Thomas was on the Atlanta team. Rickie Fowler was on New York. Atlanta won 4-0. Again, not that it matters. 

The show was flat out boring. ESPN has SportsCenter host Matt Barrie working as the lead anchor. He doesn't have a color analyst. Instead, executives thought it would be best to make Florida-Georgia Line Marty Smith the sideline reporter. 

It's a disaster. 

What makes us watch TV? 

This is as easy as it gets: Compelling characters and storylines. We need villains. We need people to root for. We need conflict. We need to see people we'll never become.

TGL is nothing more than golf pros playing simulator golf with Florida-Georgia boy asking them a few questions here and there. We don't even get a beer cart girl pulling up to shoot the shit with the fellas and slap down five Fireball shots on the side
