  • The two golfing greats go head-to-head for the first time in their new start-up league on Monday night but only Woods has previous experience of playing the simulated indoor games

The article discusses the upcoming TGL match between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, highlighting new features of the TGL format. TGL, a tech-forward golf league, introduces a unique blend of live action and virtual reality, with matches taking place in a custom-built arena in Florida. Key features include a 15-hole match format where the first nine holes are played in a "triples" format (three players from each team), followed by six holes of singles play. The league uses a large screen for virtual shots and a short-game complex for chipping and putting. Additionally, there are timeouts, a 40-second shot clock, and a "hammer" feature allowing teams to choose when to use their final shot. This innovative approach aims to make golf more engaging and accessible to fans, with McIlroy and Woods, who are also co-owners of TGL, set to compete in this new environment.
