He will play with Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala on Monday against New York Golf Club.Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood each have a pre-existing commitment, so they cannot play.The TGL rules say that if a "starting" player cannot compete, teams can select a new player to take their place."Tony is one of the most well-liked players in the game and has dedicated significant time and energy to make golf more accessible and available to youth, which aligns with LAGC's efforts," Neal Hubman, Co-Founder and President of LAGC, said in the announcement."We look forward to welcoming him to the LAGC family and helping us secure a playoff berth."Fans love Finau.

"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."Finau has a lot of personality, so seeing what he brings to the table will be interesting.LAGC is currently second in the TGL SoFi Cup standings. Overall, they are 2-0-1 and have five points, one less than the top-ranked team, The Bay Golf Club.The team fell to Atlanta Drive in overtime during the Presidents Day tripleheader for the league.It will be East Coast vs. West Coast in the first of two TGL matches on Monday on ESPN 2 and ESPN+.
