The TGL League, Tiger Woods' new golfing adventure, will officially begin on the first Thursday of January 2024. There are great expectations for what this circuit will bring, and it is already known that it will be broadcast live (and in prime time) by ESPN.
Tiger Woods' league, which is also supported by Rory McIlroy, will introduce several new features. The main one is that it will be played on a virtual course. It will also have an unusual format for the PGA Tour, as six teams of three golfers will play.
