Even in a lopsided defeat, the TGL co-founder’s first appearance in the simulator golf league delivered solid ratings.

Tiger Woods was routed at his own game Tuesday night, but his defeat was still more appealing to sports fans than the NBA. Woods' TGL debut was watched by more than 1 million viewers, up 9% from the league's first match last week and more head-to-head than the NBA drew on TNT.

Tiger Woods makes his debut in the TGL indoor golf league tonight with Jupiter Links GC vs Los Angeles GC. Follow for score updates and highlights.
