Golf as we know it is changing forever. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s tech-infused league, TGL, is officially in full swing for its second season, but the biggest news isn’t just about the men—it’s the official arrival of the WTGL (Women’s TGL). Here is everything you need to know about the current men’s season and the groundbreaking new women’s league set to debut in 2026.
TGL Season 2: The Men are Back at SoFi Center
TGL’s second season kicked off on December 28, 2025, and is currently lighting up prime time. Six teams of the world’s best PGA Tour stars are battling it out in the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
The Format You Can’t Miss:
- Triples (Holes 1–9): High-stakes 3v3 alternate shot.
- Singles (Holes 10–15): Head-to-head showdowns.
- The Hammer: Teams can “throw the hammer” to double the points on a hole.
Where to Watch:
Matches primarily air on Monday and Tuesday nights on ESPN and ESPN2. You can catch Tiger Woods leading Jupiter Links Golf Club against rivals like Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf as the season builds toward the playoffs in March 2026.
Breaking New Ground: Introducing the WTGL
On January 6, 2026, the LPGA and TMRW Sports officially announced the formation of the WTGL. While fans once rumored that LPGA players might join the existing men’s teams, the decision has been made to give the women their own dedicated stage.
Key WTGL Details:
- Inaugural Season: Scheduled for Winter 2026-2027, following the conclusion of the 2026 LPGA season.
- The Stars: The league will feature top LPGA Tour stars competing in the same fast-paced, team-based format as the men.
- The Venue: All matches will also take place at the SoFi Center, utilizing the massive simulator screen and adjustable putting green.
- Investment: Major interest is already brewing; Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian has already secured first-refusal rights for a potential Los Angeles women’s team.
The Technology: SoFi Center
Both leagues utilize the custom-built, 250,000-square-foot SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
- ScreenZone: Players drive into a massive 64×53-foot simulator screen—roughly the size of an IMAX screen—powered by Panasonic projection and Full Swing technology.
- GreenZone: For shots under 50 yards, players move to a 3,800-square-foot greensitting on a 41-yard rotating turntable. It uses nearly 600 actuators to change slopes and undulations for every hole.
- Authentic Surfaces: The facility features real grass, rough, and sand, including the same white sand found at Augusta National.
Why This Matters for the Future of Golf
The addition of the WTGL isn’t just about another league; it’s about visibility. By bringing the tech-heavy, mic’d-up atmosphere of TGL to the LPGA’s top athletes, the game is targeting a younger, more diverse audience. Whether you’re rooting for Tiger in the current season or waiting for the LPGA stars to take the stage next winter, the era of stadium golf is officially here.
