The TGL League is a tech-based league that will have its inaugural events in 2025 and the league has 6 teams in total with each team consisting of 4 golfers. The League’s first event will be on January 7 between the New York Golf Club and the Bay Golf Club at the SoFi Centre at Palm Beaches, Florida.

The League was supposed to be inaugurated in 2024, but the dates were postponed by a year due to an unprecedented situation at the venue. A power outage at the SoFi Center led to the collapse of the venue. But after a year of work, the league is ready to tee off on Tuesday and there is an array of celebrated golfers who'll play in the tech-based league. Here's a look at 5 top-tier golfers:
