TGL presented by SoFi, the new tech-infused, team golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports in partnership with the PGA TOUR, has announced its inaugural season schedule, which gets under way on January 7.
The schedule includes 15 regular season matches, then a four-team semi-finals, before culminating with the top two teams competing to win the SoFi Cup in a best-of-three Finals Series on March 24 and March 25. All matches will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+ in the US.
“TGL presented by SoFi represents a giant leap forward in innovation and sports entertainment,” said Rosalyn Durant, Executive Vice President, Programming & Acquisitions, ESPN. “We have tremendous respect for the work that the TMRW Sports team has put into launching TGL and we’re confident that our viewers are going to enjoy both the competition and unique presentation.”
“TGL presented by SoFi will combine teams of world-class PGA TOUR stars with the energy fans have become familiar with in other team sports – a live, courtside experience for golf on an unprecedented scale. The six TGL teams will go head-to-head in a season of matches from January through March, bringing team golf to prime time for the first time on a consistent basis,” said Mike McCarley, CEO and Founder, TMRW Sports.
“In partnership with ESPN, our season will complement the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup Season with a fast-paced team competition that aims to captivate a wide range of sports fans with elements, like a shot clock, that are familiar to fans of other sports. TGL’s two-hour matches are perfect for prime time and will help bring more fans closer to some of the biggest names in golf.”
Fans are invited to register for an opportunity to secure match tickets and be a part of the experience in SoFi Center, TGL’s custom-built venue in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
SoFi Center has a capacity for 1,500 spectators and creates a fan experience similar to sitting courtside at an NBA game or on the glass at an NHL game.
