Inside Tiger and Rory’s TGL Golf: A First Look At The Courses and How It Works

Last week, TGJ became the first media outlet to visit TGL's Performance Lab in West Palm Beach, FL and preview the first of roughly 30 new digital golf holes designed specifically for league competition starting in January 2025. Managing Editor Travis Hill sat down with golf course architect Beau Welling, one of three designers behind the development of what Tiger and Rory are hoping will become an entirely new style of golf. So how were the courses designed? How does one play a hole? Will they play out of real fairway grass? How does this spinning green work? And will Tiger and Rory's ambitious new venture actually catch on? All these questions and more are answered on TGJ Podcast 169.

TGL is shaping up to be quite an interesting concept.

Assuming they keep this league somewhat laid back while competitive, it may be fun to hear them chat and banter one another… could be a fun Thursday evening watch… I’ll give it a chance…

I thought we were going to see Travis play a hole?

Not sure if this will catch on. Watching someone playing game, doesn’t sound interesting to me.

31 minutes of nothing. How about giving us a demo?. Wouldnt that be more effective from a marketing standpoint? This interview might appeal to about 0.1% of the population who are architects and designers.

Why not have players just compete online in their sim rooms? The whole production and team stuff is way overkill

This feels like a disaster. Simulator golf is fun for about 2 holes
