Tiger Woods Launches TGL: A Revolutionary Tech Golf League Debuting in January

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy Launch TGL: The Future of Team Golf

Tiger Woods is set to make waves in the world of sports with his new venture, TGL, a cutting-edge team golf league co-founded with fellow golf superstar Rory McIlroy. This tech-infused league promises to revolutionize the traditional game of golf and bring a fresh and engaging twist to golf fans worldwide.

What is TGL?

TGL, also known as the "tech-infused, team golf league," is gearing up for its debut on January 7, 2024, at the SoFi Center in Florida. The matches will be simulcast on ESPN and ESPN Plus, making it accessible to a wide audience. TGL can be likened to a high-stakes version of Top Golf, but it takes place in a dynamic stadium setting.

The Match Format

In an innovative twist on classic golf, TGL matches feature two teams of golfers aiming to hit balls into a massive 3,400-square-foot screen, targeting precision within 50 yards of the virtual “hole.” Once they get close, the action shifts to a state-of-the-art artificial green that can dramatically change between holes using almost 600 motorized actuators and an impressive 41-yard-wide rotating section of the course.

A Quick and Exciting Experience

Each match is designed to last approximately two hours and will see three out of four players from each team competing. This structure aims to keep matches fast-paced and exciting, catering to golf enthusiasts and casual fans alike. Check out the introduction video below!

TGL Team Lineup

Originally slated to launch earlier this year, TGL has faced hurdles; a major setback occurred in early 2023 when the venue's dome collapsed. Nevertheless, the league is back on track with six teams slated to compete. Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club and McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf are among the participating teams. The inaugural match will pit the New York Golf Club against the Bay Golf Club.
