Tiger Woods' golf league teased - and then made - a big announcement.
"Feels like it’s gonna be a good day," TGL wrote on its X page on May 20, 2025, along with a video of a man looking coy at the camera.
A few minutes later, the team wrote, "Introducing Motor City Golf Club, TGL's newest team. Debuting in 2027."
"TGL presented by SoFi, the primetime, team golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports, announced the formation of its seventh team: Motor City Golf Club (MCGC), representing Detroit and starting in TGL’s third season in 2027.

Motor City Golf Club’s ownership group "is led by Middle West Partners, which was awarded the opportunity to expand TGL’s footprint and is led by principals Michael Hamp, Peter Hamp and Kevin Kelleher, who all have Detroit roots," the League announced.
"The Hamp family has been longtime co-owners of the Detroit Lions with Sheila Hamp currently serving as principal owner and chairwoman. For this new TGL team venture, Mrs. Hamp, along with her husband, Steve, are co-owners of Motor City Golf Club," it says.
"This is a great moment for Detroit sports and a proud moment for me personally,” said Michael Hamp, a co-owner of Middle West Partners and Motor City Golf Club’s new team governor, in the news release.
"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. I'm incredibly grateful for our partners at MCGC – it's an honor to build this team together. Detroit’s fans are the most loyal in sports, and we’re excited to represent our city in TGL and build a team that Detroit fans will be proud to support."
