The technology-driven TGL, an indoor golf league with PGA Tour talent, will debut January 7 under a schedule unveiled on Monday that could see Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods meet on January 27.
The six-team league features matches in a custom-built South Florida arena with a giant simulator screen and a green complex built on a roundtable.
Three of each team’s four players will compete over 15 holes in 15 made-for-television matches to be played on Mondays and Tuesdays in 2025 with semi-finals on March 17-18 and a best-of-three final March 24-25.
Xander Schauffele, this year’s British Open and PGA Championship winner, is on the New York Golf Club roster set to meet The Bay Golf Club, featuring Irishman Shane Lowry and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, in the January 7 opener.
Other teams include Woods-led Jupiter Links, Collin Morikawa’s Los Angeles Golf Club, Justin Thomas with the Atlanta Drive and McIlroy’s Boston Common.
Boston is set to debut against Jupiter Links on January 27 with the Common boasting the only TGL roster of all major winners, Northern Ireland’s McIlroy joined by American Keegan Bradley, Australia’s Adam Scott and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama.
TGL had originally planned to launch earlier this year but the debut was postponed after damage to the arena while it was under construction.
