TGL, which will feature six squads of four players, is run by TMRW Sports, the technology-focused sports company launched by Woods and McIlroy in August 2022.

Serena and Venus Williams, Stephen Curry and Liverpool owners the Fenway Sports Group are among the backers.

Each team will play five matches in a round-robin league format between 7 January and 4 March, with the top four sides earning a spot in the play-offs, which begin on 17 March.

Before each match, teams will pick three players to compete in 15-hole contests that will be split into two sessions: nine holes of three-man alternate shots followed by six holes of singles head-to-head play.

Points are awarded for winning a hole and the team with the most points at the end is the winner. In the event of a draw, the winner will be decided by a nearest-the-pin contest.

The golfers begin holes by hitting shots into a 64x46ft screen. Once inside approximately 50 yards, they will switch from the simulator to hitting into live-action greens, which have actuators that can make the putting surface rotate and change.

The entirety of the 2025 season will be held at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens.
