The Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy marketed TGL golf league will debut on Jan. 7, the circuit announced Monday.
The “tech infused” gimmick, where PGA Tour players hit golf balls into a video screen, will be broadcast by ESPN and ESPN+.
The inaugural match will have the New York Golf Club, headlined by two-time major champion Xander Schauffele, facing off against The Bay Golf Club, which includes 2023 U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark.
Tee off time is 9 p.m. ET.
“In partnership with ESPN, our season will complement the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Season with a fast-paced team competition that aims to captivate a wide range of sports fans with elements, like a shot clock, that are familiar to fans of other sports,” TMRW Sports CEO and founder Mike McCarley said in a statement.
“TGL’s two-hour matches are perfect for prime time and will help bring more fans closer to some of the biggest names in golf.”
