Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods’ innovative golf league TGL will officially launch in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida at the beginning of 2025 after its initial start date was postponedRory McIlroy will no doubt be keen to showcase his and Tiger Woods’ innovative golf league, ‘TGL,’ is different to that of their rivals over at LIV Golf.McIlroy and Woods formed TGL back in 2022, in reaction to the birth of the LIV setup. It was expected that the simulator-based league would launch at the beginning of 2024, but a whole host of issues with the league’s venue in Florida ensured season one was delayed until 2025.The indoor circuit will see a number of the PGA Tour’s compete at the state-of-the-art facility across six teams, with both McIlroy and Woods taking part and leading a four-man roster of their own.The team element of the league has seen it draw comparisons to that of LIV, who pride themselves on their team competition running alongside the individual leaderboard. As well as this, McIlroy and Woods’ efforts to innovate the game with a never-seen-before league again appeared to align them with the plan of LIV.This however was something McIlroy had been quick to quash. Asked about the comparisons of the two leagues following the launch of the Northern Irishman’s Boston Common team last November, he outlined that TGL’s plans were to work in sync with the PGA Tour rather than ‘disrupt’ it.”I think this is meant to be complementary. It’s not meant to be disruptive in any way,” McIlroy said. “So whenever Mike McCarley brought this idea to Tiger and I, I think one of the first things we said, well, ‘If you’re going to do this, we’re going to have to try to partner with the PGA Tour in some way and really try to make this complementary.’
