With the inaugural TGL presented by SoFi season approaching its climax, the scorecard for the innovative and prime time team golf league backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy makes for some impressive reading.
The league features six teams of four players from the PGA Tour, though only three men compete in each 15-hole match scheduled to fit in a two-hour broadcast window.
You may have heard brief rumblings and team announcements, but chances are your understanding of TGL – the primetime golf league scheduled to debut on January 8, 2025 – is a little a fuzzy.
First impressions of the custom-built SoFi Center that serves as the home of TGL, the new simulator-based team golf circuit that debuts in January, is that no expense appears to have been spared. It is singularly impressive, operationally functional and groundbreaking in the technical sense for which it was created.
The opening night for take two of TGL’s inaugural season has been set, with the new tech-infused team golf league slated for a prime-time debut on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
The 14,000 square-metre venue in Florida will reportedly be able to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. The previous air-supported stadium was rated to withstand a Category 4 storm.
Many golf fans may view TGL, the forthcoming tech-infused league headlined by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, as some sort of hit-and-giggle event. But there will be some serious cash on the line.
A shot clock in golf? It’s been a topic of discussion for a number of years. TGL, Tiger Woods’ and Rory McIlroy’s new tech-based golf league created, will incorporate one into its competitive framework when it launches its debut season in prime time in January.
