What is tgl golf?

TGL Golf is a new tech-infused golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in partnership with the PGA TOUR.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Concept: It's a team-based golf league featuring a combination of virtual and real-life play. Matches are played in a custom-built arena combining a massive simulator screen with a short-game complex.

  • Format: Teams of three PGA TOUR players compete against each other. Matches consist of a blend of virtual tee shots and approach shots into a simulator screen, followed by live short-game and putting on a real-grass green. The format is designed for fast-paced action and spectator engagement.

  • Technology: Heavy reliance on simulators and tracking technology to provide data and enhance the viewing experience.

  • Teams: Initially six teams were announced, each with a roster of PGA TOUR players, but some teams were affected by the postponement of the league.

  • Postponement: The inaugural season, originally planned for January 2024, was postponed to 2025 due to a structural failure of the arena's dome.
