Golf current event.svg 2025 TGL season

TGL (for TMRW Golf League) [1] is a golf league created by TMRW Sports, a venture formed by sports executive Mike McCarley and professional golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in partnership with the PGA Tour. The league employs a combination of traditional golf play with elements of simulated indoor golf, and features players from the PGA Tour. The inaugural season began in 2025, with matches scheduled to be held on weeknights in conjunction and accomodation with the PGA Tour schedule. [2]

Contents

History

On August 24, 2022, the PGA Tour, along with Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Mike McCarley, announced the formation of TGL. [3] It will initially feature six teams of three PGA Tour players, competing head-to-head in 18-hole match play on a virtual course with a special short game area. Fifteen matches, each lasting two hours and played in primetime on Monday and Tuesday nights, will make up the regular season. The semi-finals and a final match will be held at the end of the season. [4] [5]

Initial investors include NBA players Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, [6] Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, soccer player Alex Morgan, MLB players Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, [7] Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, tennis player Serena Williams, and WNBA player Diana Taurasi. Other investors include pop artist Justin Timberlake, [8] Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, [9] and Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei. [10]

TGL was originally planned to launch in 2024. It was delayed until 2025 after the host arena under construction was damaged due to a power failure. [11] [12] In October 2024, TGL later announced a revised launch date of January 7, 2025. [5] [13] It was on that January 7 that the first TGL match took place, a 9–2 win by The Bay Golf Club over New York Golf Club, with The Bay's Shane Lowry and Ludvig Åberg respectively recording the league's first tee shot and first hole won (on a birdie) within a 4-minute span of a match that finished in under 2 hours. [14] Nearly one million viewers tuned in to the opening night of TGL, with the audience being younger than traditional golf, as organizers had hoped. Some reviews said the venue was more impressive than the play. [15] [16] [17]

Features and rules

Match format

TGL matches are played across 15 of 30 "holes" designed by Beau Welling Design, Nicklaus Design, and Pizá Golf along with technology partner Full Swing Golf. The virtual holes, which each carry a different nickname and measure as either Par 3, Par 4, or Par 5, are inspired by various real-world or virtually-inspired landscape and geographic designs (links, canyons, mountains, desert, tropical). The selection of holes and order of play are designated in advance of each match by TGL's competition committee. [18] [19]

Each match is divided into two match play-style segments between two teams, with each team selecting which three of its four players will participate ahead of the first drive: [20]

As in traditional match play golf, a team earns one point for reaching the hole in the fewest strokes. No points are awarded if a hole is tied, nor are they carried over to the next hole. For season tiebreaker purposes (see below), all 15 holes in a match are played even if a team's lead is insurmountable.

Rules variations

  • Shot Clock – From the time they place the ball on the ground, players have 40 seconds to hit their shot, a time frame based on the USGA's pace-of-play recommendations and displayed on video screens throughout the venue. A team is administered a one-stroke penalty on the hole if their player fails to hit their shot within the allotted time.
  • Timeouts – Each team has four timeouts per match, two during Triples and two during Singles, with no carryover of unused timeouts from one session to the next. A team playing its shot can call a timeout at any point before the shot clock expires, while the opposing team can do so only until the other team's player has addressed the ball. No team can call back-to-back timeouts while on the current shot.
  • Hammer – At any point during play, a team can throw a "hammer" (signified by waiving a Mjolnir-shaped gold towel) to add one point to a hole's value. If the opposing team declines to accept the hammer, they forfeit the hole (acceptance is compulsory if it's thrown before the start of a hole). There is only one hammer per match (first possession is determined by a pre-match coin flip), and only the team possessing it can use it, with possession alternating after each use. [21]
  • Overtime – If there is a tie after 15 holes of regulation, a soccer-style shootout is used, with teams alternating shots until one team is the first to record the two closest shots to the pin. [22]
  • Match referees – An on-course referee is utilized to supervise play, enforce TGL's rules and regulations, and signal any rule violations; another official monitors action from a booth.

Season format

Each TGL team plays five total matches in the regular season, once against each of the other teams. A points-based standings system is utilized, with a team earning two points for a win in regulation or overtime, one point for an overtime loss, and zero points for a regulation loss. For any ties in the standings, the number of holes won during the season is the tiebreaker. [20]

At season's end, the top four teams in the single-table standings advance to two single-elimination semifinal matches (1st place versus 4th place and 2nd place versus 3rd). The semifinal winners will compete in the championship round, which is a best two-out-of-three match format. [22]

Venue

For its first TGL venue, TMRW Sports constructed the SoFi Center, an indoor venue in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, through a partnership with Palm Beach State College. [23] The group broke ground at the venue on February 20, 2023. [24] [25] The venue will include educational and recreational facilities. [26] Construction is being overseen by CAA Icon. [27] In November 2023, a storm caused a power failure at the construction site and led to the deflation of SoFi Center's air-supported roof, causing damage to portions of the structure. [11] [12] The damage forced a delay in commencement of TGL play for a full year (from January 2024 to January 2025). In that interim, the facility was redesigned to accommodate a traditional steel roof and other technological improvements. Tiger Woods would call the delay "a blessing in disguise" as it would allow TGL to accommodate a better playing and viewing experience at SoFi Center. [28]

Measuring approximately 97.3 yards (88.97 m) by 50 yards (45.72 m), or just smaller than an American football field, SoFi Center's playing surface is divided into two halves:

Roster

Woods, McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm were the first four golfers to commit to compete in the league. [35] Twenty more players have since signed on leaving the roster set at twenty-four. [36] [37]

Rahm withdrew from the league in November 2023, [38] shortly before joining LIV Golf. In January 2024, Tyrrell Hatton also joined LIV Golf after negotiating his exit from TGL. [39] In June 2024 it was announced that Hatton would be replaced by Hideki Matsuyama [40]

Broadcasting

No broadcaster for TGL was announced during the league's unveiling. An August 2022 report by Sports Business Journal indicated that NBC Sports had an option to carry league events. [41] On October 5, 2023, ESPN Inc. announced it had secured media rights for the league in a "multi-year" deal, with all matches airing on ESPN or ESPN2, and streaming on ESPN+. [42] TGL matches, especially those early in its first season, receive promotional pushes from major events on the network including the NFL and college football playoffs. As an indication of this push, the first match for Jupiter Links Golf Club, which features Tiger Woods, was intentionally set as not the first match in TGL history (on January 7) but the second (on January 14) so that it could receive promotional exposure during ESPN's NFL Wild Card Game coverage the night before (January 13). [43] The first-year ESPN schedule includes a Presidents' Day triple-header, with two afternoon matches on ESPN and a nightcap on ESPN2. [13] [22]

ESPN's TGL broadcasts feature Scott Van Pelt as host from his SportsCenter studio in Washington and Matt Barrie calling the play on-site at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, with Marty Smith conducting sideline reports. [44] Rather than hire an analyst to accompany Barrie, broadcasts feature live-mic comments from players and caddies in the match as well as analysis from players on other teams (Woods and Rory McIlroy, though they weren't playing, offered analysis on the first broadcast). [14] Additionally, broadcasts feature various overhead, course-level, and bunker cameras.

The Official World Golf Ranking is a system for rating the performance level of professional golfers. It was started in 1986. The rankings are based on a player's position in individual tournaments over a "rolling" two-year period. New rankings are calculated each week. During 2018, nearly 400 tournaments on 20 tours were covered by the ranking system. All players competing in these tournaments are included in the rankings. In 2024, 23 tours factored into the world rankings. As well as being of general interest, the rankings have an additional importance, in that they are used as one of the qualifying criteria for entry into a number of leading tournaments.
