The inaugural season of TGL presented by SoFi, the tech-infused golf league fronted by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, will tee off Jan. 7 on ESPN, the league announced Monday.
New York Golf Club, led by two-time major champion Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler, will square off against The Bay Golf Club, which includes Ludvig Åberg and Wyndham Clark, in the first TGL match on Jan. 7 (9 p.m. ET, ESPN and ESPN+).
“In partnership with ESPN, our season will complement the PGA TOUR’s FedEx Cup 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,” TMRW Sports CEO and founder Mike McCarley said in a statement. “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.”
