Could the days of playing golf outside be a thing of the past? Well, if the new TGL golf format, which is being led by leading players Rory McIlory and Tiger Woods, takes off – then the world’s best hitters might as well ditch their umbrellas and waterproofs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TGL Golf – The New High-Tech Indoor Golf Event Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s been years in the making, but TGL golf<\/strong> – which is a sort of virtual reality high-tech indoor golf simulator – is finally here.<\/p>\n

With golfing heavyweights Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy at the helm, the project was always going to have a big helping hand – with the pair teaming up with TMRW Sports and Mike Carley to get the idea out of the clubhouse and onto the first tee.<\/p>\n

Held at the SoFi Center and with broadcasting big hitters EPSN carrying their bags, the Woods\/McIlroy TGL golf event finally tee’d off on Tuesday 7th January 2025 – a period on the golfing calendar that is quieter than most.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the event was not only to provide the 1,500-capacity stadium with golf<\/a> with no weather issues but to also try and attract a younger crowd to the sport.<\/p>\n

TGL Golf Staged at The SoFi Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The SoFi Center is situated on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach, Miami – which is about 70 miles north of the Hard Rock Stadium, where the Miami Dolphins play in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Then inside the SoFi Center, which is 250,00 square feet, there is a huge golf simulator screen that measures 64ft by 53ft and also has a rotating green that sits on a 41 yard turntable.<\/p>\n

Meaning event organisers can chop and change the undulations of the green many times to mix up the putting experience.<\/p>\n

TGL golf dates saw the event start on Tuesday 7th January – with the showdown Finals Series on March 24th.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the event Rory McIlroy said<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cGolf, but it\u2019s reimagined, sort of trying to take golf into the 21st century.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have teams, obviously, there\u2019s a lot of technology involved, trying to bring it into the digital era,\u201d he told ESPN. \u201cA lot of things that we\u2019ve taken from other sports like a shot-clock, a timeout, things that you don\u2019t see in regular golf. (We\u2019re) trying to appeal to that bigger sports audience out there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

McIlroy added<\/p>\n

\u201cTiger and I have been a part of this from day one and whenever you see the concepts and the renderings you think, \u2018Yeah, that looks really cool,\u2019\u201d McIlroy told ESPN. \u201cBut until you actually stand in here (the SoFi Center) and you see what they\u2019ve been able to do, I think the scale of it is the thing for me that blows my mind.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I step in here, I\u2019m just blown away by the size of the screen, the fact that we\u2019re able to put something that looks like golf on a stage like this. It\u2019s really cool and we\u2019re obviously really excited about it within the game of golf. I think a lot of other people outside of the game are going to see this and hopefully get excited about it as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy will play in the Boston Common Golf TGL team, while Tiger Woods is in the Jupiter Links Golf Club.<\/p>\n

Both sides are sure to be popular with the best betting sites in the UK<\/a> to win the event.<\/p>\n
