The golf season as we have known it, relatively speaking, is still fairly young at this point on the calendar. We are currently at the Truist Championship and next week brings the second major of the season in the PGA Championship.
TGL reportedly files for trademarks that suggest Chicago, Texas teams on the way

Even with so much in front of us, the inaugural season of TGL feels incredibly far back in the rearview mirror. Overall TGL was a huge success and provided a nice bit of golf before things got properly off of the ground, needless to say we are all interested in what the second year will look like.
Rumors of expansion for TGL have been running for a bit now with Texas believed to be the next logical step. Texan players like Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris are logical names for a team if things come to pass.
It appears that Texas could be one of two new teams in TGL next season, though. On Friday word broke that TGL Holdings has filed trademarks that would suggest Chicago could be due a team soon as well.
Obviously the Windy City offers a massive sports market and therefore makes sense as an option for TGL to pursue. To date they have teams representing others in Los Angeles and New York so they are clearly trying to check all of the right boxes.
As far as potential Chicago players... current New York Golf Club member Matt Fitzpatrick went to Northwestern so is a logical dot to connect. We have yet to see any type of trades or anything within TGL’s operation, but obviously things are still so new that anything is on the table.
We will see what winds up happening soon enough.
