The TGL (Tiger Golf League), co-founded by the legendary Tiger Woods and golf icon Rory McIlroy, is set to redefine the sport. The league, presented by SoFi, is a groundbreaking concept blending modern technology and a high-octane team golf format never seen before.
Born out of their company, TMRW Sports, and in partnership with the PGA TOUR, this $110M venture promises to revolutionize how golf is played, viewed, and experienced globally.
TGL’s Game-Changing Format
The league consists of six elite teams, each featuring four PGA TOUR players, with every match showcasing three players per team in action. Matches will unfold in two thrilling sessions:
- Triples (3 vs 3 Alternate Shot): A dynamic format covering nine holes.
- Singles: Intense head-to-head battles across six rotating holes.
Each hole is a critical battle, awarding points for the best score while adding drama with the “Hammer” option, where teams can double down and wager the value of the hole.
This fast-paced format is designed to captivate both seasoned fans and newcomers, ushering in an era of *golf like never before*.
Welcome to the SoFi Center, TGL’s Unique Home
All matches will take place at the SoFi Center, a custom-built 250,000-square-foot arena in Florida. It features a high-tech virtual course paired with a real grass short game complex, adaptable bunkers, and a putting surface that changes slopes dynamically.
This sophisticated venue guarantees to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, placing fans closer to the action than ever before.
With intimate seating for just 1,500 spectators, diehard fans will be treated to an immersive experience, while cutting-edge broadcasting ensures captivating content for a global audience.
