MIAMI - 8 JAN - Aftera year-long delay, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's tech-infused indoor golf league, TGL, officially launched on Tuesday in Florida, marking a bold step towards revolutionizing the sport. The debut featured an energetic atmosphere with strobe lights, smoke machines, and DJ sets, offering a stark contrast to the traditional calm of golf events. The league combines virtual and real-life play, with players hitting shots at a towering simulator screen before moving to a rotating green that allows for dynamic hole variations. The virtual holedesigns were also unique, with settings like volcanoes, ocean coves, and desert canyons enhancing the experience.
Woods and McIlroy, though not competing in the season opener, were present at the custom-built arena, sharing their excitement for the event’s potential. Woods expressed disbelief that the idea, which started as a dream, had come to fruition, while McIlroy celebrated the chance to bring golf to a new level. The fast-paced event featured unique rules, like “The Hammer” which doubled the points value on specific holes, and culminated in a 9-2 victory for Shane Lowry's team. Despite a delay in launching due to facility issues, Woods and McIlroy are set to make their TGL debuts in the coming weeks.
