If you're new to TGL betting then don't worry – we've got you covered. Read on to understand more about this exciting new format and how TGL golf betting works.
What is TGL?
The TGL is an indoor golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The idea is to add a gamification element to golf and blend real sport with esports. TMRW Sports built the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, purely to host events.
Fans sit around the edge of the arena and watch some of the PGA’s best golfers tee off into a huge simulated screen. Once the ball hits the green, play transfers to a motorised artificial surface that moulds to the specific dimensions of the hole. There are even real-life bunkers to navigate!
How the TGL works
The concept of TGL Golf is simple:
- Six teams, consisting of four players each, compete in a league structure
- Teams play each other once over the course of the 15-match league season
- Each match features three players per team. The fourth player has the night off
- Players tee off by hitting a ball into a big screen, which simulates the course
- Once the ball hits the green, play transfers to a real-life artificial green, that mechanically changes to match the specific hole
- Teams earn a point for winning a hole. The team with the most points after 15 holes earns a win
- The top four teams in the league after 15 matches qualify for the semi-finals
- The final, known as the SoFi Cup Championship, consists of three matches across a single weekend
Matches are played across 15 virtual holes and are split into two segments:
- Triples (Holes 1-9) – Three players in each team compete in each hole, playing alternately
- Singles (Holes 10-15) – Each player plays two holes against an opponent
Teams earn a point for every hole they win (putt the ball in the fewest strokes). If a hole is tied then no points are awarded.
What is the hammer in TGL?
The hammer is an innovation in TGL where players can add a point to a hole's value. A team 'throws' the hammer and ups the stakes. If both teams throw the hammer then it becomes a three-point hole. The opposing team can decline to accept the hammer and forfeit the hole if it's thrown during the hole. If it's thrown before the hole then the hammer has to be accepted.
TGL teams
The six teams competing in the TGL are:
- Atlanta Drive GC
- Boston Common Golf
- Jupiter Links Golf Club
- Los Angeles Golf Club
- New York Golf Club
- The Bay Golf Club
Rory McIlroy competed for Boston Common Golf in the inaugural season, with Tiger Woods representing Jupiter Links Golf Club.
TGL schedule
The TGL has a regular season and postseason, which culminates in the three-match SoFi Cup Championship. Here’s how the schedule plays out each season:
January - Early March
15 rounds of matches take place, with each team playing each other across the regular season
Mid-March
Two semi-finals take place over one weekend. Seed 1 faces Seed 4, and Seed 2 plays Seed 3
Late March
The SoFi Cup Championship gets underway across a single weekend. If the final is tied after two matches, a third Championship Match is played
