TGL, the hybrid indoor golf league crafted by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, has announced its 2026 schedule, with the concept set to kick off Season 2 that will unfold starting December 28.
The league will debut on December 28 with a match featuring the New York Golf Club (Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young) taking on Atlanta Drive GC (Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Lucas Glover) on ABC at 3 p.m. Eastern in a rematch of last year’s finals.
Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf (with Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama) will debut in the second match against Los Angeles Golf Club on Jan. 2 at 7 p.m.
All teams will play five matches, one against each of the other teams in the league.

All regular-season matches will air live between ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+, including a four-match run on February 23 and 24, the days after the Woods-hosted The Genesis Invitational ends in Los Angeles. Notably, Atlanta Drive Golf Club (Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Lucas Glover) plays a doubleheader on Feb. 23, while New York Golf Club doubles up on Feb. 24.
The top four teams from the regular season will then meet in a semifinal slate on March 17. The winners of those semifinal matches will then meet in a best-of-3 series for the SoFi Cup in the finals, played March 23 and 24.
The matches are set to be played at SoFi Center, a 1,500-seat, purpose-built arena for TGL on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., that will feature a combination of simulated golf on tee shots and approch shots with a unique, malleable green complex used for short-game shots and utting. The playing field will run approximately 100 yards in length and 50 yards in width. Teams hit their shots from boxes featuring real grass or sand to play any of 30 custom-designed, virtual holes projected onto a 3,400-square-foot screen. 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 area that transforms between
holes. A 41-yard-wide turntable rotates the green and three bunkers to change approach angles while nearly 600 motorized actuators embedded under the synthetic putting surface modify the green’s topography.
Each match is approximately 2 hours long and features 15 holes of action.
The first portion of the match is a nine-hole match featuring three-player alternate shot. Each three-person team will play out the hole, with a player who hits the tee shot going first, followed by the selected player who hits the next shot and the third player hitting the third shot, if necessary. If a fourth shot is necessary, then the player who hit the tee shot on that hole will hit, and the lineup will repeat until the ball is holed. The team who completes the hole in the fewest strokes wins that hole.
The second segment of the match features six holes of one-on-one match play. Beginning with the 10th hole, each team will select an A, B and C player. The A player on each team will compete against each other on the 10th hole, with the players completing the hole solo. The player with the lowest score on that hole will win the hole. The B players will compete on the 11th hole, and the C players will compete on the 12th hole. Then the cycle will repeat once again until the match is done.
Each hole is worth 1 point, and if the hole is halved, then the point is split. The team with the most points at the end of the night wins the match. If the match is tied at the end of 15 holes, there will be an overtime played until a winner is determined.
The winning team for the night will earn 2 points in the season-long standings. If a team loses in overtime, they’ll earn 1 point. If a team loses in regulation, they earn 0 points.
