Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL Golf League 2025 schedule

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s new indoor high-tech golf league TGL will begin on January 7. Here’s the teams and schedule for the inaugural 2025 season.

A brand new addition to the men’s professional game, TGL is a team-based golf league which will see several of the world’s highest-profile golf stars taking part.

TGL will be run by TMRW Sports – the technology-focused sports company established by Woods and McIlroy in 2022 – in partnership with the PGA Tour. 

The league has received financial backing from sports investors like Fenway Sports Group as well as a from host of celebrity investors including Lewis Hamilton, Serena and Venus Williams, Lebron James, Justin Beiber, Shaquille O’Neal and Justin Timberlake.

The league will debut on January 7. All matches will be televised and they will all be held at the SoFi Centre in Palm Beach, Florida. The arena is a huge complex measuring nearly 250,000 square feet with room for 1,600 spectators.

The opening match will see New York Golf Club’s team of Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young face The Bay Golf Club’s Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee and Shane Lowry.

Woods’ Jupiter Golf Club play the week after, while McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf team play its first match on January 27.

TGL comprises 15 team events with each of the six teams playing five times during the regular season which ends on March 4. Two semi-finals will then take place on March 17 and 18 followed by a best-of-three final on March 24-25.

Three players from each of the four-man teams compete in 15-hole matches that blend virtual and real-time golf. The non-playing member of each team is rotated through the season.

Longer golf shots will be hit into a 3,400-square-foot screen, roughly 24 times the size of a standard golf simulator. From about 50 yards and in, there will be shots to a large tech-infused green which can rotate and change in contours.

There will be nine holes of alternating shots among three players and six holes of singles play. There will be a 40-second shot clock, which means matches will be finished inside two hours.

Points are awarded for winning a hole and the team with the most points at the end is victorious. In the event of a tie, a three-on-three closest-to-the-pin competition determines the winner.

If the winning team is victorious in normal time, they claim two points and the losing side gets zero. If the winner is determined in overtime, the winners get two points, and the losers get one.

The top four points scoring teams will qualify for the semi-finals with the victors advancing to a best-of-three final. From there, one team will be crowned the TGL Champions.
