As TGL makes its debut, the new indoor team golf league will look considerably different that what golf fans are accustomed to - and that's, in part, by design.

The TGL Golf League, set to launch in January 2025, is a new venture by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TMRW Sports, aiming to revolutionize golf with a tech-infused, team-based format. Here are ten key points about TGL:

    Innovative Venue: Matches will take place in a custom-built arena in Palm Beach, Florida, featuring a massive screen for virtual golf and real grass for short-game play.
    Team Composition: The league will consist of six teams, each with three PGA Tour players, playing in a match-play format.
    Match Format: Each match will last two hours, with teams competing in 15 holes split into two sessions: nine holes of 'Triples' (alternate shot) and six holes of 'Singles'.
    Technology: TGL will use advanced technology like live shot tracking, player microphones, and a virtual course to enhance viewer experience.
    Player Commitment: Players are committed to TGL for the season, with no conflicting events, ensuring their participation.
    Broadcast: Matches will be broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN+ in the U.S., with international distribution planned.
    Team Ownership: Notable investors include Serena and Venus Williams, Stephen Curry, and Arthur Blank, among others.
    Season Structure: The season will run from January to March, with a playoff to determine the champion.
    Fan Engagement: The league aims to attract a younger, more diverse audience through its innovative format and technology.
    PGA Tour Integration: TGL events are recognized by the PGA Tour, allowing players to participate without affecting their tour status or eligibility for other events.
This new league seeks to blend traditional golf with modern sports entertainment, aiming to broaden the sport's appeal.
