The TGL will have to wait at least until 2025. The new virtual league whose creation was associated with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, the two most influential figures in this sport today, has had to delay its launch by a year due to a technical problem.
This is the venue that was going to be used, the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, in Florida (USA), residence of many professional golfers, including the ideologues of the competition. As explained by the organization, it was a loss of energy that caused the dome of the building, which is supported by a complex ventilation system, to collapse. “There were no injuries or technological damage reported and part of the work continues,” they said in a statement.
Tiger Woods, situationThe dome repair work should not take that long, but postponing the start by weeks or months was not an option given that ESPN, which has the broadcast rights, would not have enough windows to schedule broadcasts if it began in 2024 already. advanced. “Despite this delay, we remain expectant about the future of the TGL and will continue to generate excitement from now on with our players, teams and fans. “We are sure that this mishap will only improve the final result,” a company spokesperson commented this Monday.
January 9 was the launch date of this experiment, a competition with six teams that includes many of the great stars of the PGA, including Tiger and McIlroy themselves, and which will have a virtual part. The long shots will be played through a simulator and the short game will be played on a real green, with adjustable angles and drops. To house this product, the aforementioned dome of the SoFi Center was being completed, a structure measuring 250,000 square meters and 22 meters high capable of holding 2,000 spectators. Jon Rahm was going to be part of one of the teams, but he eventually announced his resignation because, he explained, he did not have enough time to commit to the project.
“I have always believed in the TGL, and with the sensations we have generated in this last year, I am more excited than ever for what this can mean for players and fans around the world,” Tiger Woods said in a statement. “I have mixed feelings, of disappointment and excitement. Above all, happiness because no one was hurt. Given the circumstances, although the delay is disappointing, it will allow us to regroup, refocus and come out of this stronger,” McIlroy added.
