PGA Tour star on joining TGL? "Maybe down the road"

PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth has hinted he would be open to the idea of joining Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods' simulator golf league.

Spieth - who recently confirmed his wife Annie is expecting their third child - opened up on the subject of TGL in a recent appearance on Smylie Kaufman's podcast. 

The three-time major winner said he has been watching the action from his couch and even been asked by some teams to sub in. 

But playing in TGL events in Florida at this moment in time would prove burdensome given his growing family and the responsibilities he has. 

"I've talked with those guys from the very beginning," Spieth said. 

"Just where I'm at in life with my two young kids, and I live in Dallas, it just isn’t a great time right now, given when it is in our schedule. 

"You're seeing most of those guys shoot back. But most of those guys either live there or live close to there or don't have multiple kids under four years old. 

"So [they are at a] little different place in life right now."

He added: "The concept is pretty cool. I'm having a different demographic ask me about it at the course than your typical network consumers of a PGA Tour event on the weekend. 

"They seem to be accessing what they are trying to access which is great if it is another way to grow the game."

Spieth is not the only big name that isn't involved in TGL. 

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler has also decided not to take part in the inaugural campaign. 

Spieth said there might be a better chance of getting them both involved if there was a venue in Texas. 

"Throw in one of these venues in Dallas and we might have a better chance of joining," Spieth said. 

TGL continues tonight with Los Angeles taking on New York and McIlroy's Boston Common Golf taking on Atlanta Drive. 

Tony Finau is making his TGL debut after signing a one-match contract with New York.
