What Is TGL Golf? Learn How the TGL Golf League Works

The TGL Golf League (TGL) is a tech-driven team golf competition co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The first season of TGL in 2025 and was so successful that a second season was scheduled, beginning late in 2025 and concluding in March of 2026.

TGL brings PGA Tour stars into a fast-paced, prime-time indoor format that blends cutting-edge simulator technology with real short-game shots. Fans can watch every shot live, and bet on TGL at Prime Sportsbook. For more golf betting options, visit our golf betting section.

How the TGL Golf league works

Unlike traditional PGA Tour events played over four days on outdoor courses, the TGL golf league is a high-energy arena spectacle. Matches are contested inside the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach, Florida, using a massive TGL golf simulator for long shots (up to 300+ yards) and a real green complex that rotates for chips, pitches, and putts.

The TGL indoor golf league features 15-hole matches split into two formats: triples (alternate-shot) for holes 1-9 and singles (best-ball) for holes 10-15. This unique setup opens exciting betting opportunities—lines move fast, and simulator data gives bettors real-time insights you simply don’t get on traditional courses.

• Triples (holes 1–9): Three players alternate shots and continue rotating until the hole is finished.
• Singles (holes 10–15): Head-to-head best-ball with all six players in action. Each matchup is two holes so there are three singles matches.
• Hammer time: Teams can throw the hammer (an orange flag) that increases the point value of the hole by one. Each team has three hammers that can be played at any time during the match. 

TGL Golf teams

Six franchise-style teams, each with four golf professionals, compete in the league. Ownership groups read like a who’s-who of sports and entertainment, driving massive interest. The two big names are Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, but they are not alone, as marquee players are featured on every team.

• Atlanta DRIVE Golf – Justin Thomas (injured), Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel, Lucas Glover
• Boston Common Golf – Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Keegan Bradley, Tyrrell Hatton
• Jupiter Links Golf Club – Tiger Woods (injured), Max Homa, Tom Kim, Kevin Kisner
• Los Angeles Golf Club – Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose
• New York Golf Club – Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young
• The Bay Golf Club – Ludvig Åberg, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee, Shane Lowry

Motor City Golf Club will be a new team that will begin play in 2027. For bettors, knowing player strengths is key: simulator accuracy off the tee often matters more than traditional course management, while putting and short-game touch remain critical on the live green. Fans recognize the marquee players, but it is oftentimes the other players who decide the outcome of matches. Learn more about how to read golf odds at Prime.
