We’re starting to see some separation in the SoFi Cup Standings following a loaded week of team golf action.

And there’s plenty more where that come from, with a Monday night doubleheader next on the tee at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Los Angeles Golf Club and New York Golf Club are set for the opener at 5 p.m. ET, with Boston Common Golf taking on Atlanta Drive GC at 9 p.m. ET.

We’ve also got a first-time player making his debut – Tony Finau has signed a one-match contract with Los Angeles Golf Club and will tee it up alongside Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala. LAGC team members Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose are both unavailable due to pre-existing commitments, and TGL rules allow for teams to select a PGA TOUR member in good standing to fill in in certain circumstances.

“I’ve watched many of the TGL matches these past six weeks and I’m looking forward to getting a chance to be a part of it and compete. Team golf is always fun and exciting,” Finau said. “Collin, Sahith, Justin and Tommy are great guys that I respect and enjoy being around. I appreciate Los Angeles Golf Club calling me up for this match. I’m excited to get to SoFi Center. The place looks electric, and I can't wait to see it all first-hand and practice with the team. Monday is going to be a fun night.”

Both matches will air on ESPN and are available to stream on ESPN+.

Here’s a look at the unique course layouts for each match.

Match 1: LAGC vs. New York Golf Club

New York is coming off its first win in dominant fashion, a 10-3 triumph over Jupiter Links Golf Club. They’ll send the same lineup out Monday with Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick and Rickie Fowler ready to go.

Every TGL squad has now played three matches, so some of these holes will be familiar to players – Finau aside.

That includes the first, Flex, a 496-yard Par 4 on which Finau and Young will have the honors. The third hole, Oh Chute, is a tricky par 3 that’s seen only 35.7% of players hit the green in regulation. Fowler will tee off here for New York and try to one-up himself after sticking it inside six feet last week, closest of any player so far this season.

Holes No. 5-6, Cliffhanger (Par 3) and Bluebonnet (Par 4), have been played in every match this season and should be well-known to fans by now.

Singles play begins at The Spear, an hourglass-shaped par-5 that should certainly fit Finau’s eye as one of the best drivers on Tour over the past decade.

Finau also gets his first crack at Alpine, a par-4 where players have been swinging for the fences all season and putting up huge distance numbers.

The match concludes with the massive par-5 Quick Draw, which is always a potential swing hole – points have been scored here four of the five times it’s been played so far this season.

Match 2: Boston Common Golf vs. Atlanta Drive GC

The Ballfrogs have been highly-competitive but unable to pick up their first win, with two excruciating one-point losses. Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama and Rory McIlroy will try to flip the script Tuesday as they take on an Atlanta squad featuring Justin Thomas, Billy Horschel and Patrick Cantlay.

All six players will be getting their first look at Hang Loose, making its debut in the rotation as the fourth hole. Bradley and Thomas will tee off first at the 578-yard par-5 that features a split fairway and asks players how much they’re willing to go for it off the tee. The left fairway is narrow but leaves a chance to go for the green in two, while the right side is more open but likely requires another layup with the second shot.

These guys are still trying to figure out the sixth hole, Temple, a par-4 that’s been played three times with only one of six players hitting the green in regulation. McIlroy and Cantlay should be able to give their teammates a decent look with their prowess off the tee.

Triples concludes at Pick Yer Plunder, another tough challenge that’s already amassed six penalty strokes.

No. 13, Straight Up, is back in the rotation for Singles and playing from a tee box that debuted last week. It plays just 297 yards from the front box and Bradley and Thomas will see if they can find the target for a look at eagle.

Cantlay nearly aced the 14th, On the Rocks, earlier this month when he hit it inside two feet. But it’ll be Horschel’s turn this time around, matched up with Matsuyama for the thrilling, short par-3.
