Golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have launched a new “high-tech league” – intended to appeal to younger fans – that will begin in 2024.
The league will feature six, three-man teams competing on “a data-rich, virtual course” in a stadium setting.
Each of the 18-hole contests will take just two hours to complete.
The league – called TGL – will be run by TMRW Sports – the technology-focused sports company launched by Woods and McIlroy on Tuesday.
Taking place in partnership with the PGA Tour, events will be held on 15 Monday nights, starting in January 2024, followed by semi-finals and a final.
McIlroy and Woods – two of the sport’s biggest stars – have been among the PGA Tour’s most vocal advocates during the ongoing power struggle with the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf series, to which several big names have committed.
