TGL presented by SoFi, the new technology-enabled golf league, founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports in association with the PGA TOUR, has announced its first season schedule, which will begin on January 7.
The schedule includes 15 regular season games, then a four-team semifinal, before culminating with the top two teams winning the SoFi Cup in the prestigious Finals Series on March 24 and March 25. All games will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+ in the US.
“TGL presented by SoFi represents a leap forward in innovation and sports entertainment,” said Rosalyn Durant, Senior Vice President, Programming & Acquisitions, ESPN. “We greatly respect the work the TMRW Sports team has done in developing TGL and are confident that our viewers will enjoy both the competition and the unique presentation.”
“TGL presented by SoFi will bring together teams of world-class PGA TOUR stars with the power fans are familiar with in other team sports – a live, on-court golf experience on an unprecedented scale. “TGL’s six teams will go head-to-head in a competitive season from January to March, bringing team golf together for the first time consistently,” said Mike McCarley, CEO and founder of 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 appeal to a wide variety of sports fans with features, such as a shot clock, familiar to fans of other sports. The two-hour TGL matches are perfect for prime time and will help bring more fans closer to the biggest names in golf.”
Fans are invited to register for a chance to get tickets to the game and be part of the experience at SoFi Center, TGL’s custom-built facility in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
The SoFi Center has a capacity of 1,500 spectators and creates a fan experience similar to sitting on the court at an NBA game or on the glass at an NHL game.
