The TGL is here, and there are sure to be plenty of questions about just what’s involved in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy‘s new hi-tech team golf league.
And hopefully we’ll answer most of them here, with details on the players, teams and format for the TGL all answered below.
When is TGL being played?
The opening TGL match takes place on 7 January and takes place weekly until the final starts on 24 March.

Are LIV players involved in the TGL?
No. Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton had originally been included in the line-up, but once they joined LIV Golf they were then removed from the rosters, with TGL essentially being a spin-off for PGA Tour players.
What is the TGL league format?
Each of the six teams plays the other five once, with the winners of each match getting two points and one point awarded for a loss in overtime – similar to NHL.
The top four teams in the league after all the round-robin matches have been played move into the semi-finals and two winners making the final.
What is the format of each TGL match?
They’re 3v3 matches over 15 holes, divided into nine holes of triples and six holes of singles. Triples involves all three golfers playing alternate shot, before they go head-to-head in singles with three players each playing two holes against an opponent.
Each hole is worth one point and there are no ties…
