The technology-driven TGL, an indoor golf league with PGA Tour talent, will debut on 7 January under a schedule unveiled on Monday that could see Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods meet on 27 January.
The six-team league features matches in a custom-built South Florida arena with a giant simulator screen and a green complex built on a roundtable.
Three of each team’s four players will compete over 15 holes in 15 made-for-TV matches to be played on Mondays and Tuesdays in 2025 with semi-finals on 17-18 March and a best-of-three final on 24-25 March.
Xander Schauffele, this year’s PGA Championship and Open winner, is on the New York Golf Club roster set to meet The Bay Golf Club, featuring Irishman Shane Lowry and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, in the 7 January opener.
Other teams include Woods-led Jupiter Links, Collin Morikawa’s Los Angeles Golf Club, Justin Thomas with the Atlanta Drive and McIlroy’s Boston Common.
Boston is set to debut against Jupiter Links on 27 January with the Common boasting the only TGL roster of all Major winners, Northern Ireland’s McIlroy joined by American Keegan Bradley, Australia’s Adam Scott and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama.
TGL had originally planned to launch earlier this year but the debut was postponed after damage to the arena while it was under construction.
