Some of the biggest names in golf, including Tiger Woods, Rory McIroy, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler are going to be taking their games to the big screen. TGL presented by SoFi, the new tech-infused, team golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports in partnership with thePGA TOUR, recently announced its inaugural season schedule, premiering Tuesday, Jan. 7 on ESPN and ESPN+. The schedule includes 15 regular season matches, then a four-team Semifinals, before culminating with the top two teams competing to win the SoFi Cup in a best-of-three Finals Series on Monday, March 24 andTuesday, March 25.
“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 havebecome 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, TMRWSports. “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.”

Ticket Information

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, Fla. SoFi Center features 1,500 fans wrapped
tightly around TGL’s field of play and creates a “greenside” fan experience similar to sitting courtside at an NBA
game or on the glass at an NHL game.
• Inside SoFi Center, fans will be immersed in the action from seats and suites that encircle the
competition and see every shot live as TGL teams compete directly in front of them – a unique golf
viewing experience akin to other team stadium sports.

commence on Monday, Oct. 28. Public sales will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. ET. Single match
tickets will start at $160.

What is TGL presented by SoFi?

TGL presented by SoFi features six teams of top PGA TOUR players competing in a season-long, fast-paced competition that brings golf to prime time on Mondays and Tuesdays. To learn more about its teams, rosters, competitive format, and technology, visit TGL Explained.

  • Where – TGL’s home is the custom-built SoFi Center, a 250,000 square foot, tech-infused venue on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Creating an electrifying “greenside” fan experience, SoFi Center wraps 1,500 fans around TGL’s field of play, which is about the size of a football field at nearly 100-yards long and 50-yards wide.
  • When – TGL’s inaugural season begins Tuesday, Jan. 7 and continues with matches on Mondays and Tuesdays, culminating with teams competing to win the SoFi Cup in a best-of-three Finals Series on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25.
  • How – TGL fuses golf with technology on an unprecedented scale. Using a mix of technology throughout SoFi Center’s field of play, teams will face off in two-hour matches across 15 custom- designed holes in a hybrid of virtual and real-life action.

 Screen

Teams hit their shots from boxes featuring real grass or sand to play custom-designed, virtual holes projected onto a 3,400-square-foot screen (64’x53’), nearly 24-times larger than a standard golf simulator screen (16’x9’).

 Green

Once teams are inside approximately 50 yards they will transition to live action and finish each hole within a 22,475-square-foot short game complex that transforms between holes. TGL’s green will use advanced technology to modify the shape of the green on every hole, including a 41-yard-wide turntable that rotates the green and three bunkers to change approach angles and nearly 600 motorized actuators embedded under the synthetic putting surface to morph its topography.

Course

Each match, the course will be comprised of 15o of TGL’s 30 custom-designed holes by renowned golf course designers. The holes are inspired by authentic golf landscapes such as links, canyons, coastal, deserts, and tropical settings and created to uniquely challenge TGL’s teams of world-class golfers. As holes are announced, images, flyovers, and descriptions will be available on the TGL Media Hub.

Broadcast Enhancements

TGL’s technology mix allows for every shot to be broadcast live; a shot clock – forcing teams to hit within 40-seconds; unprecedented audio access with all players mic’d; advanced shot data; a production plan featuring robotic and embedded cameras throughout the field of play; and a high-tech, in-venue lighting and video presentation.
