After a one-year delay, the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy backed TGL is set to make its debut Jan. 7.

The virtual tech-infused golf league was originally scheduled to launch in January of 2024 but a storm in November of last year caused extensive damage to the air-supported dome roof at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where matches were set to take place. The facility was rebuilt as a steel structure capable of withstanding hurricane-strength winds.

The indoor TGL facility now covers about 150,000 square feet, with players hitting their tee shots off grass into a 46-by-64-foot screen, with greens and bunkers also built on the premises. Up to 1,500 fans will be on site for the matches that will air on ESPN.

Six teams are set to compete in the TGL: Los Angeles Golf Club, Atlanta Drive Golf Club, Boston Common Golf, Jupiter Links Golf Club, New York Golf Club and The Bay Golf Club.

Woods is set to compete for Jupiter Links, while McIlroy will play for Boston Common.

New York GC and The Bay GC will compete against each other in the Jan. 7 TGL debut. New York is led by Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler and will include Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young, while The Bay GC consists of Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee and Shane Lowry.

Jupiter Links will make its debut Jan. 14 when it faces Los Angeles GC. Woods’s teammates include Max Homa, Tom Kim and Kevin Kisner. LAGC consists of Colin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood.

Atlanta Drive GC will make its debut Jan. 21 against NYGC. The Atlanta franchise consists of Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Lucas Glover.

Boston Common will play its first match Jan. 27 against Jupiter Links and will include Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott, along with McIlroy.

All matches in the TGL’s debut season will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+.
