Back in August 2022, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and\u00a0CEO of TMRW Sports, Mike McCarley announced a new business venture, TGL, that was set to revolutionize golf. With the league’s debut tournament coming on January 9 2024, fans have been teased with more information, including robotic greens and innovative tech.<\/p>\n

But just what can fans expect ahead of the inaugural golf league?<\/p>\n

How does it all work?<\/h3>\n

TGL is a golf league that will see 24 players compete in total – six teams of four players. The tournament will be hosted at a purpose-built arena in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n

The tournament will see players compete on a virtual golf course that is filled with technology and has $20 million (\u00a316m) of prize money at stake. It will consist of 15 regular season matches with each team playing a total of five times, hitting the ball initially towards a giant screen before putting on a physical green.<\/p>\n

Tell me more about the technology<\/h3>\n

Following a new insight into TGL via Wired, the virtual golf course will have some very smart tech. The specially designed $50 million (\u00a340m) arena will seat 1,600 fans and include a 200,000-pound turntable which will hold up an 800,000-pound green that is larger than four basketball courts.<\/p>\n

The robotic 3,800 sqft putting area will be fully customizable and can change shape depending on what course golfers will play on. A giant 64ft x 46ft 4k screen will also feature to provide spectators with an eagle-eyed insight into every hit.<\/p>\n

To make the spectacle even more interesting, players will also be mic’d up to provide further insight into the on-green conversations and trash talk. Players will also be given a 40-second shot clock in which to tee off – or risk a one-stroke penalty.<\/p>\n

  Who else is involved?<\/h3>\n

  It’s not only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy who are the famous faces taking part. The pair will make up two of the six professionals, including 15-time PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas, 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott, six-time European Tour winner Tyrrell Hatton and 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley.<\/p>\n

  The six teams have also already been announced, including the Los Angeles Golf Club which is owned by Alexis Ohanian and tennis legends Serena Williams and Venus Williams. A San Francisco team has been confirmed that is owned by Marc Lasry’s Avenue Sports Fund and NBA icon and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.<\/p>\n

  Will it compete with LIV Golf?<\/h3>\n

  Despite not being a direct competitor, Tiger Woods believes it will be easier to understand than the controversial Saudi-backed tour.<\/p>\n

  “Some of the stuff I’ve seen in LIV… I couldn’t figue out what the hell was going on. Here it’s very simple,” Woods said in a recent statement. \u201cThrough its use of technology, TGL is a modern twist of traditional golf and ultimately will make the sport I love more accessible.<\/p>\n

  “Having the opportunity to not only compete, but also own a team to represent Jupiter is an exciting next chapter for me. I expect Jupiter Links GC to showcase the golf culture of my hometown as we compete against the best players in the world.”<\/p>\n

  When will it start?<\/h3>\n

  The inaugural season will tee off on Tuesday, January 10 at 2 AM which will start a 15-match regular season, and will be followed by semi-finals and finals draws.<\/p>\n
