The new tech-infused TGL golf league of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy is postponing its debut by one year. TGL says damage to dome portion of the arena at Palm Beach State College can't be repaired in time for the planned Jan. 9 debut. Instead of rushing to have a partial schedule next year, owners and other key partners think it's best to wait until 2025 to get it right. Woods and McIlroy are co-founders in TMRW Sports. That's the entertainment group that created TGL for 24 top players in an indoor arena. McIlroy says the delay will help them return stronger.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank is purchasing one of six teams in Tiger Woods' new high-tech TGL golf league scheduled to launch in January. Blank also owns MLS Atlanta United and the PGA TOUR Superstore. He said he was drawn to the golf league's potential to attract new fans with its interaction of tech and live action in a prime-time weekly format. Woods, Rory McIlroy and former Golf Channel president Mike McCarley founded the league which will have six teams and 18 players. Teams in Los Angeles and Boston previously were unveiled. The PGA Tour has partnered with the TGL.
