TGL is a golf league made for primetime TV that is held at the purpose-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names are involved, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy plus Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwood, with two teams going head-to-head every week in order to try and win two points for their season tally.
Games often take place on Monday or Tuesday nights and feature 15 holes of golf at a bespoke course which is displayed on the giant screen and completed on the adaptable short-game area at the other end of the arena.
After the 15-match regular season has concluded, the top four teams in the table will advance to the semi-finals.
The winners of those matches reach the Championship Series, which will have a best-of-three structure, and the winner of that will be crowned the TGL champion.
So that’s the overview of TGL. Below is the full breakdown of the format, rules and tactical tools available.
