LIGHTS, CAMERA, FAIRWAYS: TGL TEES-UP IN THE PALM BEACHES

The sports-entertainment production industry is abuzz with anticipation as TGL, a tech-infused startup golf league masterminded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, secures its TV rights with Disney's ESPN. This exciting development is set to make a significant impact on both production opportunities and media exposure for The Palm Beaches. TGL, in partnership with the PGA Tour, is gearing up for its debut on January 9. And before that, there’s a preview show airing December 30 on Disney's ABC network.

As the early TGL season matches coincide with other major sports events, this strategic alignment will draw substantial media attention, benefiting the league and The Palm Beaches. The inaugural TGL match will air following the College Football Playoff National Championship game. The second TGL match will run after an NFL wild-card playoff game, giving both matches a football-driven promotional boost. All in all, there will be 15 regular season matches, plus semifinals and finals matches airing primetime television.

The league will consist of six teams with four-man rosters; and matches featuring three golfers playing for each team in a match-play format on a virtual course with a short-game complex. Players will all be wearing microphones, with live fans in the arena to watch and cheer them on in the two-hour matches. TGL’s SoFi Center is a new, purpose-built arena located at Palm Beach State College’s Palm Beach Gardens campus.
