Update:

The game of golf is at something of a crossroads. With the ‘average’ PGA Tour in the US reported to be aged between 45-60 years of age, the PGA has seen how the Saudi backed LIV Golf Tour has managed to realign the sport at a younger demographic and has needed to respond.

Tomorrow’s Golf League is the latest initiative (backed by the PGA Tour) that attempts to tap into a new audience and early signs have delivered positive results.

What is TGL?

TGL is golf played in an indoor circuit where players hit into a 64-foot x 53 foot golf simulator with grass, fairways, roughs and sand to give the players and fans a close-to-real feel.

The competition is played on a league basis with six teams involved.

Three players per team participate in the match and compete on 15 holes with the game lasting for approximately 2 hours. Players then compete in a “triples” 3 v 3 match play alternate shot format with points on the table for winning each hole.
