The countdown is on until Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL begins. Discussed publicly for the first time in August 2022, a brand new golf league - working in association with the PGA Tour - that features cutting edge technology and 24 of the world's best male players is now just a matter of weeks away.
Six teams of four players will be facing off over 15 weeks of matches starting on Tuesday, 7 January and continuing up until semi-finals and finals to be played towards the end of March.
The innovative 15-hole matches will be played partly on a giant simulator screen and partly on real life green areas at the purpose-built SoFi Center in Florida - which was damaged after a power cut last year that forced the postponement of the TGL for 12 months.
Almost 2,000 fans will be in attendance at the arena while official broadcaster ESPN will be showing the action live on TV via ESPN and ESPN+.
Each fixture will last no more than two hours, with 15 holes of action split into two sessions.
The first half will see three of each team's quartet battle it out across a nine-hole alternate shot match, while the final six holes will be contested in two-hole stints of singles matches. Each hole won secures a point for that team.
Should the game require overtime, players will face off in a closest-to-the-pin competition where the winner is decided by landing two consecutive shots closer to the hole than their opponent.
Founder McIlroy has previously stated that TGL matches will always take place early in the week to avoid clashes with regular PGA Tour events.
Each team will play the other five golf clubs in separate weeks across the regular season, with the semi-finals and then finals taking place on 17-18 March and 24-25 March to crown an inaugural TGL winner well ahead of The Masters in April.
