It was nearly three years ago that Anthony Noto sought an opportunity for SoFi Technologies Inc. to gain a foothold in golf to increase brand awareness for the financial-services company based in San Francisco. That opportunity was TGL.
Winning teams have been employing a strategy best described as “Hammer hoarding”, a loophole that undercuts what the Hammer was meant to be. So TGL is introducing a new rule to fix it.
Though little more than a hypothetical at this stage, Bryson was typically bullish about the opportunity to join Tiger Woods’ and Rory McIlroy’s upstart TGL golf league.
Now that we’ve taken a look at where TGL teams get prepared and wind down for matches, we’re even more jealous that they get to play (simulator) golf as a job.
The league features six teams of four players from the PGA Tour, though only three men compete in each 15-hole match scheduled to fit in a two-hour broadcast window.
You may have heard brief rumblings and team announcements, but chances are your understanding of TGL – the primetime golf league scheduled to debut on January 8, 2025 – is a little a fuzzy.
First impressions of the custom-built SoFi Center that serves as the home of TGL, the new simulator-based team golf circuit that debuts in January, is that no expense appears to have been spared. It is singularly impressive, operationally functional and groundbreaking in the technical sense for which it was created.
After its inaugural season was postponed for a full year, TGL, the tech-infused team golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and their TMRW Sports business venture, released its 2025 schedule, which begins on January 8 and culminates in a best-of-three playoff series on March 25-26.
Boston Common Golf today announced that Masters and nine-time PGA Tour winner Hideki Matsuyama will join the team and play alongside Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott in the new, tech-infused, prime-time golf league, TGL presented by SoFi.
The squad named The Bay Club and representing the San Francisco Bay Area will feature reigning US Open champion Wyndham Clark, PGA Tour rookie and world No.6 Ludvig Aberg, 2019 Open Championship winner Shane Lowry and Australia’s Min Woo Lee.
