The TMRW Golf League (TGL), co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is set to kick off tonight with its debut match. This innovative league blends traditional golf with cutting-edge technology, creating a fast-paced, team-based competition that will be broadcast in prime time.
Format and Structure
TGL features six teams, each consisting of four PGA Tour players, making a total of 24 participants. The league’s matches are split into two distinct sessions:
• Triples (Holes 1-9): Teams play alternate shot.
• Singles (Holes 10-15): Each player competes individually in two holes of match play.
Adding a strategic twist, teams can use the “Hammer” to double the value of a hole, heightening the competition’s intensity.
Venue and Technology
The matches will take place at the high-tech SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The venue features a massive simulator screen for full shots and a dynamic short-game area with a synthetic green that can adjust its contours to replicate different course conditions.
Inaugural Matchup
The opening match will see New York GC, featuring players like Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele, take on The Bay GC, with Shane Lowry and Wyndham Clark leading the charge. Tiger Woods will make his debut with Jupiter Links in a subsequent match, adding to the excitement of the league.
Viewing Information
Fans can tune in to the action on ESPN and ESPN+, with the broadcast starting at 9 p.m. EST. TGL aims to attract a wide range of viewers, from avid golf fans to newcomers, by offering a fresh and engaging take on the sport.
As TGL begins, it promises to redefine the golf viewing experience, combining traditional elements with modern technology to create a thrilling new format for the sport.
