When players were switching to LIV Golf from the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods stood by it. He reportedly rejected almost $1 billion from the Saudi-League in a great show of loyalty. Since then a lot has happened, including the merger between both the tours.

Time heals all wounds. Last month he agreed to join the PGA Tour Policy Board as a player-director. For the last few months, the 47-year-old golfer is also focusing on a new venture, TGL League under TMRW Sports. And as the fifteen-time major winner is building and bolstering his league, he achieves a significant networking breakthrough.

The first TGL season is scheduled to start in January 2024. TGL has a novel tournament format focusing on technology, innovation, and fan engagement. Golf will never be the same before. According to reports, six teams will face off once a week.

Many renowned figures from many industries have already begun to make significant investments in TGL, including buying the team. This includes the Fenway Group, Arthur Blank, the founder of Home Depot, and tennis legend Serena Williams, among many others. Additionally, PGA Tour, Woods’ forever girlfriend, is already a partner in this. Going forward, the powerful LIV Golf League will also have to compete with the TGL.

And now in a massive boost for TGL, the $50,000,000,000 giant ESPN is set to finalize the deal on the broadcasting rights. The ESPN coverage would definitely bolster this new league in a grand way. There is still no official word on the agreement’s terms though. The deal is likely to give more substantiality to the TGL. 

The brainchild of Woods and Rory McIlroy is somehow different from the traditional league. The sheer novelty of it has drawn some of the really wealthy people toward the tech-driven league.

Arthur Blank explained why, in his opinion, it was preferable to invest in TMRW. This age suggests that the new league would draw a more varied audience, particularly the younger ones. “A lot of young folks today are playing games in a variety of new ways through technology,” said Blank.

According to Blank, amidst all the classic versions of golf, investors would want to grow the unique league all the more. With wealthy investors on its side, TGL might get even bigger than the traditional leagues. For now, by the look of it, the sky is the limit.
