(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell, File) CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Two months after the inaugural TGL season, the indoor golf league has expanded. Motor City Golf Club representing Detroit will be the seventh team in TGL, the league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as part of their TMRW Sports entertainment company. Advertisement Motor City will not start playing until 2027. It will join teams that represent Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Atlanta and Jupiter, Florida. Atlanta, with Billy Horschel and Justin Thomas, won the inaugural title. The Motor City ownership group is led by Middle West Partners. The principals are Michael Hamp, Peter Hamp and Kevin Kelleher, all with Detroit roots. The Hamp family has been longtime co-owners of the Detroit Lions. 'This is a great moment for Detroit sports and a proud moment for me personally,' Michael Hamp said. 'My grandfather, William Clay Ford Sr., was an avid golfer, and I believe bringing a new format of the game he loved would make him really proud.' Advertisement The ownership group includes Denver Broncos owner Rob Walton and Jordan Rose, president of Arizona-based Rose Law Group. Each team features four players (Woods is with Jupiter, McIlroy with Boston). A group representing Dallas was working on a bid last month. With Detroit not starting until 2027, it was unlikely for TGL to start next year with more than its current six teams. Hogan award The amazing year of Luke Clanton hit another high note when the Florida State junior was selected for the Ben Hogan Award as the top college player based on performances in college, amateur and professional events. Advertisement Clanton is the No. 1 player in the amateur ranking and No. 1 in the PGA Tour University, already securing a PGA Tour card after the NCAAs end next week. Clanton already has two runner-up finishes on the PGA Tour, at the John Deere Classic and the RSM Classic, and he has two other top 10s playing on sponsor exemptions. Not since Jack Nicklaus in 1961 has an amateur had at least three top 10s on the PGA Tour in the same season. He has four wins this year at Florida State, most recently at the NCAA regional. The NCAA Championship starts later this week at La Costa Resort north of San Diego. Clanton is the second Florida State player to win the award, joining John Pak in 2021. Advertisement LIV logo Most of the LIV Golf League players at the PGA Championship had a logo on their sleeve that suggests a new sponsorship for the Saudi-funded league. Sports Business Journal and Athlon Sports are reporting that Salesforce, a Dow 30 company, is signing an umbrella partnership. LIV Golf does not resume until June 6 in Virginia. The reports say Salesforce, which specializes in customer relationship management technology, would be the largest deal for LIV since it began in 2022. Asked about the logo at the PGA Championship, Bryson DeChambeau told Athlon, 'It's the first of many potential sponsors that are looking at LIV, LIV's not going anywhere for a long time. Advertisement 'And I think that Salesforce sees the potential partnership with LIV and what we can do globally, around the world.' Major streaks Sergio Garcia took bogey on his final hole of U.S. Open qualifying on Monday that cost the Spaniard a spot in what turned out to be a 7-for-1 playoff for the last of seven spots at Bent Tree in Dallas. That ends a streak of 25 consecutive U.S. Open appearances for Garcia that began in 2000 at Pebble Beach. His streak nearly ended last year, but he got into the field at Pinehurst No. 2 as an alternate. He had played in 82 consecutive majors — dating to Carnoustie in 1999 — until he tested positive for the coronavirus and missed the 2020 Masters. He was eligible for 94 straight majors until joining LIV, dropping in the world ranking and missing the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill. Advertisement Adam Scott has played 93 straight majors dating to the 2001 British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and he is guaranteed to be in the next three majors. Still safe is the streak set by Jack Nicklaus. He played in 146 consecutive majors, and he was eligible for 154 in a row. Global hot streaks A couple of players on different continents are piling up victories. One of them is Mimi Rhodes of England, who helped Wake Forest to the NCAA title in 2023 and played on the winning Curtis Cup team for Great Britain & Ireland last year. She turned pro after the Curtis Cup, earned a Ladies European Tour card and now has won three of her last four starts on the LET. Advertisement She has moved up nearly 1,000 spots to No. 88 in the women's world ranking. And then there's Luis Carrera of Mexico, who was his country's No. 1 junior before going to Sam Houston State and then finishing at Central Florida. He is listed as a LIV Golf alternate, though he has yet to play. Carrera went down to the Sunshine Tour in South Africa and has won the last two tournaments. Coming to America The U.S. Open again held a qualifying site in Japan. Now the Japan Golf Tour is coming to America. The Japan Golf Tour will hold first and second stages for its 2025 qualifying school in the United States for the first time. Advertisement The tour anticipates about 100 players going to first stage on June 29 at Oak Valley in Beaumont, California, 72 holes with no cut and roughly 35 players advancing. The second stage, also at Oak Valley, is July 7. Between 15 and 20 players advance out of the second stage. The third stage is Dec. 2-5 at three sites in Japan, with the final stage at Chiba Isumi the following week. 'This is part of our initiatives to create new playing opportunities and easier access for golfers in the Americas to take the first steps to qualify and compete on the Japan Golf Tour in 2026,' said Yutaka Morohoshi, the tour's chairman. 'The journey for aspiring golfers can now begin in California next month.' Divots Advertisement Bryson DeChambeau is now on a list with Dustin Johnson, Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead for being a runner-up in the PGA Championship in consecutive starts. ... Hideki Matsuyama missed the cut at the PGA Championship to end his streak at 19 consecutive cuts in the majors. The current active streak now belongs to Xander Schauffele at 13 straight. Scottie Scheffler is next at 12 in a row. ... ESPN said its live telecast of the second round at the PGA Championship averaged 1.3 million viewers, with a peak of 1.8 million in the final 15 minutes when Scheffler was capping off his five-hole stretch at 5 under. That was down from an average of 1.6 million viewers for the second round last year, when coverage included Tiger Woods' entire round. It also was the day Scheffler was arrested. ... Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley tied for eighth in the PGA Championship and made $454,781, enough to make him the 21st player to surpass $50 million in career earnings. Stat of the week Dating to 2017, every winner of the PGA Championship is a multiple major champion — Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Phil Mickelson, Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler. Final word Advertisement 'I've got to learn how to be a little more precise with the wind, not let the wind affect the ball as much. It's a tough task to do because I hit it so high and the ball just kind of moves in the air. I've got to figure that out.' — Bryson DeChambeau. ___ AP golf:

Rory McIlroy's thoughts on seeing Tiger Woods play a tournament in 2026? 'Maybe'
Rory McIlroy's thoughts on seeing Tiger Woods play a tournament in 2026? 'Maybe' PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rory McIlroy believes Tiger Woods' season is over after the 15-time major champion announced he ruptured his left Achilles. Woods underwent surgery Tuesday to repair the injury he sustained while training. McIlroy, who has been relatively injury free during his 18-year professional career, lamented Woods' "luck" when it comes to his health when asked Wednesday at TPC Sawgrass ahead of The Players Championship. "It sucks," said McIlroy, who lives in Jupiter. "He doesn't have much luck when it comes to injuries and his body. Obviously he was trying to ramp up to get ready for Augusta, and Achilles surgeries obviously aren't fun. Hoping he's in good spirits and hoping he's doing okay. "We obviously won't see him play golf this year, and hopefully we see him maybe play in 2026." The injury occurred as Woods was preparing to return to the PGA Tour. He underwent a minimally invasive tendon repair procedure Tuesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach. He has returned to his Jupiter Island home to focus on his recovery and rehab. McIlroy and Woods have been linked recently for helping create TGL, the indoor golf league played in Palm Beach Gardens. While McIlroy's Boston Common Golf and Woods' Jupiter Links teams were the only two not to advance to the postseason in the league's inaugural season, McIlroy said Woods was trying to "catch up on some lost time" during the TGL season. Woods has played sparingly the last year and was limited after back surgery in September. Since his mother, Kultida Woods, died Feb. 4, Woods played in four of Jupiter's five TGL matches, along with playing 18 holes with Donald Trump and at the Seminole pro-member at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach. "I wouldn't say he'd have been necessarily close (to top form)," McIlroy said. "But he was obviously trying to get closer by ramping up and training and practicing and doing whatever he was doing. I'd say he was trying to catch up on some lost time there." McIlroy has been relatively injury free during his 18-year professional career. His most significant injury occurred before the 2015 British Open when he ruptured a ligament in his left ankle while playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland. McIlroy was the No. 1 player in the world at the time and became the first defending champion to miss the British Open in 61 years. He was sidelined about two months.

Rory McIlroy is taking this PGA Tour player's comments personally
Rory McIlroy is taking this PGA Tour player's comments personally Show Caption Hide Caption Video inside Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy's TGL golf league SoFi Center Inside the SoFi Center with three of the 24 PGA Tour pros who will make up the six teams and be televised on ESPN on January 7, 2025. Rory McIlroy responded to a letter sent to PGA Tour members by Charlie Hoffman criticizing players for participating in non-PGA Tour events. Hoffman specifically mentioned TGL, the Race to Dubai, and "The Showdown," all of which McIlroy participated in. McIlroy defended his participation, stating that the PGA Tour is invested in both TGL and the DP World Tour, which hosts the Race to Dubai. Tommy Fleetwood, another TGL participant, downplayed Hoffman's criticisms and expressed excitement for the league's unique format and potential to reach new audiences. PALM BEACH GARDENS — Rory McIlroy has felt nothing but love since winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Sunday in his first PGA Tour event of the season. That is beside the contents of a letter by one of his peers that included scathing comments he is taking personally. Charlie Hoffman, who has won four times on the PGA Tour, the last nearly a decade ago, was critical of players participating in TGL and non-PGA Tour events such as the Race to Dubai in a letter to membership. He even mistakenly called TGL a non-PGA Tour event. The PGA Tour owns a stake in the indoor golf league created by McIlroy and Tiger Woods. "I thought a couple of them were pointed at me a little bit because TGL, Race to Dubai, non-PGA Tour events like the Showdown that Scottie (Scheffler) and I did in December," McIlroy said. "I've been vocal about not wanting to play quite as much so it seemed like it was pointed at me." McIlroy, who lives in Jupiter, Florida, was asked about Hoffman's letter Tuesday after his second TGL match. McIlroy's Boston Common Golf dropped a 6-2 decision to Los Angeles Golf Club at SoFi Center. Hoffman's letter was sent to PGA Tour players Sunday night and shared by GOLF Magazine's Sean Zak on social media. Hoffman, 48, first mentioned the hot-button topics of pace of play and working better with broadcast partners, before piling on some of his peers. "If we truly care about strengthening our Tour, we should be supporting as many PGA Tour events as we can," Hoffman said. "Many of you keep saying you want to play fewer events, yet you still find time for TGL, Race to Dubai, and other non-PGA Tour events, and that's going to continue regardless of field size." McIlroy had a right to feel targeted. He and Scheffler played in a made-for-television match against LIV Golf stars Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in December in Las Vegas. He played in the Dubai Desert Classic last month, the first major event on the DP World Tour schedule that marks the start of the Race to Dubai season-long competition. And at 35, McIlroy said he will cut back on his schedule this year that, in 2024, included 19 PGA Tour events. McIlroy, who sandwiched his first two TGL matches for Boston Common (both losses) around his win at Pebble Beach, got in a shot at Hoffman by giving him a lesson on TGL. "I think the thing he forgot to mention is the PGA Tour owns 20 percent of TGL, so he's criticizing his own product," said McIlroy, a native of Northern Ireland. "They also own a good chunk of European Tour Productions, so again …" He also added: "I thought some of the elements of the letter were fine, addressed some issues." McIlroy, No. 3 in the world, believes every player has to do what is best for his career. "And yes, at the back of our mind try to do whatever we can to help the Tour," he said. "But I think the best way for any of us to help the Tour is to tee it up and play as best we can." Tommy Fleetwood 'lucky' he's doing things Charley Hoffman criticized Tommy Fleetwood, the Englishman who teamed with Justin Rose and Collin Morikawa Tuesday to defeat Boston Common, downplayed Hoffman's criticisms. But he made it clear he is excited about being a part of TGL's unique format. "I play golf all around the world," said Fleetwood, who also competed in the Dubai Desert Classic last month. "I feel like I'm very lucky to do that. I play two tours, and now I feel like I'm lucky to be part of a style of golf here in TGL in an arena that is different. It comes through a new audience. I feel lucky that I get to do those things really." Fleetwood added playing in a variety of events is "really, really cool," and the 24 PGA Tour players involved in TGL are excited about the opportunity. "You look at the guys that are playing, I think everybody is excited about the opportunity and really, really enjoying it," he said. "Nobody really knows what the future of golf holds and we've seen that over the last two years. … But for now, I think we have a lot of good initiatives. "Things like (TGL) are really, really cool. I can't wait for my kids to see this. I think they're going to be amazed by it, and I think kids that would see this event would actually be really excited about the prospect of playing golf and maybe start indoors somewhere, which is something that I'm guessing the three of us never did."
