Woods' TGL Debut Uncertain Amid Back Surgery

TGL, an innovative indoor golf league co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is set to launch its inaugural season on January 7, 2025, at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This tech-infused league will feature six teams, each with four PGA Tour players, competing in 15-hole matches that combine simulator screens and real greens. The opening match will see New York Golf Club, featuring Xander Schauffele, against The Bay Golf Club, with notable players like Shane Lowry. Woods' team, Jupiter Links, will debut in the second week, with his participation uncertain due to recent back surgery. The season includes 15 regular-season matches, a four-team playoff, and a best-of-three finals, all broadcast on ESPN platforms. TGL aims to introduce a fast-paced, interactive golf experience to attract a diverse fan base, with matches scheduled around major PGA events.
