This January, a brand-new interactive golf league called TGL is arriving, and it promises to flip the traditional golfing experience right on its head. Co-founded by golf superstars Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, along with Mike McCarley from TMRW Sports Group, TGL is set to captivate both die-hard fans and curious newcomers alike!
The High-Tech Playground: SoFi Center
All eyes will be glued to the stunning SoFi Center, a sprawling 250,000 square feet of high-tech innovation sitting proudly in Florida. Designed to host around 1,500 fans, this state-of-the-art facility guarantees an electric ambiance for every match. Imagine watching the action unfold on an enormous simulator screen measuring a jaw-dropping 64 by 53 feet—basically like having your own IMAX theater dedicated to golf!
As if that isn’t enough, the SoFi Center features a gigantic rotating green complex, a whopping 41 yards wide! This creative design provides players with a variety of shot opportunities that keep the gameplay fresh, exciting, and unpredictable. Interestingly, what started as an inflatable dome had to undergo serious renovations after encountering some wild weather conditions back in November 2023.
Kickoff Match: A Showdown Like No Other
Save the date for the thrilling kickoff match on January 7! Golf aficionados are in for a treat as the New York Golf Club goes head-to-head against The Bay Golf Club in a showdown that promises to keep you perched on the edge of your seat. Each matchup will consist of 15 holes, brilliantly mixing team play with individual challenges. With terms like “Triples” and “Singles,” there’s no doubt that action and drama are in the air!
Speed Meets Strategy: The 40-Second Shot Clock
In a groundbreaking twist, players will now have only a 40-second shot clock to make their moves. This revolutionary addition will keep the pace lively and ensure that fans are fully engaged throughout the match. But TGL isn’t stopping at the usual stuff; players will tackle an assortment of 30 unique hole designs that add quirky themes to each game, introducing an element of surprise that could change the course of the action!
Realistic Playing Conditions on Synthetic Surfaces
Prepare for a golfing experience like no other! Athletes will put their skills to the test on synthetic putting surfaces that replicate various conditions, including the simulated experience of Augusta National sand. Now, you can revel in realistic golfing conditions right within the revolutionary SoFi Center, making for unforgettable moments without stepping outside!

Fans will be in for a real treat, with a tailored seating arrangement that puts them just a stone’s throw from the action. With multiple camera angles capturing every moment, there’s no chance anyone misses out on the excitement. Plus, the players will be mic’d up during the matches, offering fans an inside look at their strategies and banter. You’ll feel like you’re right in the thick of the competition, experiencing golf like never before!
