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 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.
After its inaugural season was postponed for a full year, TGL, the tech-infused team golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and their TMRW Sports business venture, released its 2025 schedule, which begins on January 8 and culminates in a best-of-three playoff series on March 25-26.
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.
If Rory McIlroy has inside knowledge into what Jon Rahm is thinking on a variety of subjects, it sounds unlikely that the Spaniard will be making the leap to LIV Golf anytime soon.
