What is the TGL format?

The six teams will all play each other once in a round-robin league format at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach, where players hit balls into a massive simulator screens before finishing off on a real-life short game area inside the arena.

It's 3v3 matches of 15 virtual holes, the first nine being alternate shot 'Triples' followed by six holes of 'Singles' where players take on an opponent over two holes each.

Scoring is one point for each hole with no ties and no carryovers, while the winning team gets two points and loser none - unless they lost via the sudden death nearest the pin competition held if the match ends tied.

The top four teams at the end of the league stage contest the play-offs with two semi-finals and a best-of-three final.

How to watch the TGL

TGL will air on Sky Sports in the UK and will also be broadcast in the United States on ESPN and ESPN+, Canada on Sportsnet and in Australia on Fox Sports. The JTBC Golf Channel will show it in Korea and U-NEXT in Japan.
