Tiger Woods of course chooses 'Eye of the Tiger' as walkout song for TGL
Editors note: USA TODAY Sports is covering tonight's TGL match. Click here for the latest news, updates and highlights.
The inaugural season of the TGL, spearheaded by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Mike McCarley, continues tonight as the Jupiter Links Golf Club takes on the Los Angeles Golf Club in the league's second match of the season.
The TGL held its first ever match last week, when the Bay Golf Club dominated the New York Golf Club, but Tuesday's matchup is drawing even more interest due to one simple fact: Tiger Woods is playing for Jupiter Links.
The 15-time major winner makes his TGL debut at SoFi Center tonight, and the question on everyone's mind was what music would the 49-year-old golf legend walk out to?
Who knows what, if anything, TGL will go on to become. But know this: Tiger has to pick a walk out song for tomorrow and it might be the funniest and most human insight we ever get into that guy.

Tiger Woods has spent most of his lengthy career shielding his inner most thoughts from the rest of the world. However, as the tweet above keenly points out, this may be a rare opportunity to peer into the psyche of one of the greatest golfers of all-time.
Here's what he chose:

Coming as a surprise to absolutely no one, Tiger Woods opted for the classic 1982 rock hit "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.

This came after the rest of his Jupiter Links team came out to the T.I. song "Bring Em Out" and the entire Los Angeles team came out to "California Love" by 2Pac and Dr. Dre. Unlike the rest of tonight's contestants though, Woods' career accomplishments were not read aloud by the MC. He walked out on his own, with only the song and cheers from the crowd. That's the kind of aura Woods brings to the table.
What is TGL?
TGL stands for TMRW Golf League, a reference to TMRW Sports, the name of company that Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Mike McCarley founded to get the league and several other projects off the ground.
It is a new tech-infused golf league in partnership with the PGA Tour that's designed to combine the latest in golf technology with in-person competition. It will include a shot clock, timeouts and both team and individual match play. — Steve Gardner.
