Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will launch TGL, a new high-tech golf league, on January 9, with 12 of the current world’s top 20 having signed up.
TGL, run by TMRW Sports, the technology-focused sports company established by Woods and McIlroy in 2022, will finish before The Masters in April.
Events will be played over 15 holes, include overtime and lots of technology, combining an oversized simulator with actual shots to a tech-infused green that can change contours depending on the shot.
The Sofi Center, at Palm Beach State College in Florida, will host each event, with the venue holding approximately 1,600 spectators.
Five of the six four-man teams have been announced for New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Atlanta.
The six squads will play each other once in league play but only three of the four players will compete in any one event.
The famous backers for the teams include NBA star Steph Curry, who is involved with the San Francisco outfit, and tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams, who are supporting the Los Angeles group.
Liverpool Football Club owners Fenway Sports Group are involved with the Boston side, with that conglomerate also owning baseball’s Boston Red Sox.
