TGL Format Explained
The TGL founded by Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and TMRW Sports will run on a league format and teams will have five matches played per team and will be awarded points.
The one of a kind virtual golf tournament will have players hit into a 64 foot wide 'ScreenZone' from 35 yards out off tee boxes with real sand, fairway grass and rough.
Shots less than 50 yards will be played on the shot game zone called the 'Green Zone'. It has a 97-yard long area with changing slopes and conditions with greens that can rotate to change topography.
A refferee will be present with timeouts for players to recover and ice their bodies. With raised stakes, played will be miked up to create a one of a kind viewer experience.
The shot clock only gives players 40 seconds to hit their shot. A penalty will be given to the whole team if a player exceeds the time.
Each hole counts for one point. In case of a tie, the winners will be decided in a closest to the pin competition. Players will compete two hours each week with two sessions. The Triples will be played for holes 1 to 9 and Singles will be played on holes 10 to 15.
In Triples, players play a 9-hole three versus three alternate shot format and singles will have 6 holes with one on one play.
The top four teams at the end of the season will face a single elimination playoff. Two winners from that will compete for the championship title in a best of three format.
