What is TGL presented by SoFi?
TGL presented by SoFi features six teams of top PGA TOUR players competing in a season-long, fast-paced competition that brings golf to prime time on Mondays and Tuesdays. To learn more about its teams, rosters, competitive format, and technology, visit TGL Explained.
- Where – TGL’s home is the custom-built SoFi Center, a 250,000 square foot, tech-infused venue on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Creating an electrifying “greenside” fan experience, SoFi Center wraps 1,500 fans around TGL’s field of play, which is about the size of a football field at nearly 100-yards long and 50-yards wide.
- When – TGL’s inaugural season begins Tuesday, Jan. 7 and continues with matches on Mondays and Tuesdays, culminating with teams competing to win the SoFi Cup in a best-of-three Finals Series on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25.
- How – TGL fuses golf with technology on an unprecedented scale. Using a mix of technology throughout SoFi Center’s field of play, teams will face off in two-hour matches across 15 custom- designed holes in a hybrid of virtual and real-life action. Rickie Fowler Explains TGL presented by SoFi
- Screen: Teams hit their shots from boxes featuring real grass or sand to play custom-designed, virtual holes projected onto a 3,400-square-foot screen (64’x53’), nearly 24-times larger than a standard golf simulator screen (16’x9’).
- Green: Once teams are inside approximately 50 yards they will transition to live action and finish each hole within a 22,475-square-foot short game complex that transforms between holes. TGL’s green will use advanced technology to modify the shape of the green on every hole, including a 41-yard-wide turntable that rotates the green and three bunkers to change approach angles and nearly 600 motorized actuators embedded under the synthetic putting surface to morph its topography.
- Course: Each match, the course will be comprised of 15 of TGL’s 30 custom-designed holes by renowned golf course designers. The holes are inspired by authentic golf landscapes such as links, canyons, coastal, deserts, and tropical settings and created to uniquely challenge TGL’s teams of world-class golfers. As holes are announced, images, flyovers, and descriptions will be available on the TGL Media Hub.
- Broadcast Enhancements: TGL’s technology mix allows for every shot to be broadcast live; a shot clock – forcing teams to hit within 40-seconds; unprecedented audio access with all players mic’d; advanced shot data; a production plan featuring robotic and embedded cameras throughout the field of play; and a high-tech, in-venue lighting and video presentation.
