Last action April 2, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates Atlanta Drive GC and its players for winning the inaugural TGL golf championship over New York GC.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Atlanta Drive GC, a golf team in the new TGL league, for its win in the league's first championship. The text recounts how the team beat New York GC in a best-of-three match on March 25, 2025, describes the comeback led by golfer Billy Horschel, and notes the team's regular season record. The resolution names the team's PGA Tour players, describes TGL as a golf league created by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Mike McCarley in partnership with the PGA Tour, and notes that the team was founded by Arthur M. Blank, tying it to his other Atlanta sports and business ventures. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the team and other parties.
