New golf league The Golf League (TGL) is hoping to attract a new audience to the sport by turning it into a glitzy, made-for-TV event, differentiating it from traditional golf tournaments with shorter match times, colourful commentary, and real-time analytics on screens.
Matches take place on a compact turf field, with a 64-foot by 53-foot screen that players hit their tee shots toward, while the remaining gameplay takes place on a synthetic green that can change angles via a turntable.
The league, which recently concluded its first regular season, is the brainchild of Tiger Woods and has made the seven-time guardian a spokesman for the league, with other major golf stars such as Rory McIlroy also signed up as co-founders.
