Woods and McIlroy’s TGL to begin in early January

TGL, the technology-driven golf competition headlined by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, will debut on 7 January.

The virtual contest had been slated for a January 2024 launch but was delayed after a power outage caused the collapse of the air-supported dome roof at the SoFi Center in Florida.

Fifteen-time major winner Woods is scheduled to compete on 14 January with his Jupiter Links Golf Club team.

Woods has not played since the Open Championship in July and had further surgery on his back last month.

World number three McIlroy, who is part of the Boston Common Golf team, is set to make his debut on 27 January.

The opening contest of the 15-match season sees New York Golf Club – comprised of Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young – face The Bay Golf Club side of Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee and Shane Lowry. – bbc.com
