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.
TGL announced overnight that the six-time PGA Tour winner has signed a one-match contract with Los Angeles GC. The team needed a player because “LAGC’s Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood both have pre-existing commitments and are unavailable for Monday’s match”.
Now that we’ve taken a look at where TGL teams get prepared and wind down for matches, we’re even more jealous that they get to play (simulator) golf as a job.
The Northern Irishman says he used multiple simulators in preparation to ‘test’ the accuracy of the SoFi Center’s sim, while also offering a valid theory behind the artificial green complex’s bunker sand.
No matter what you think about TGL after Wednesday’s opening match, one thing is certain: the new league had people talking. And now we know plenty of people were watching as well.
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.
TGL, the Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy-led mixed-reality circuit previously scheduled to launch in five weeks, will now be delayed a year after extensive damage to the league’s arena.
