The launch of the technology-driven TGL Golf League looks a little far-fetched at the moment, especially after the tragedy hit the venue’s roof. With such a huge roadblock on the way, one might think that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy would have given up on their dream project. But as it turns out, the duo’s dream remains intact.

The TGL’s Florida-based venue suffered the deflation of its dome due to a power outage, and the damaged arena will take too long to be repaired. However, Woods’ ally, a PGA Tour pro, shed some light on the league’s expansion and growth plans. The 7XPGA Tour winner knows a few things about TGL’s backroom working and shared an update.

Billy Horschel speaks about possible venue expansion

Despite the setback, TGL remains confident about its future and although the priority at the moment would be to fix its Florida-based venue and meet the early 2025 timeline of the six-team league, Billy Horschel spoke about a possible venue expansion in the future.

At the No Soldier Left Behind podcast, Horschel touched upon various things, including TGL’s future. “So the process is, that’s the first venue. And then, if this is successful, which I believe it’s going to be successful, they’re going to build possibly some other venues,” he said.

Billy Horschel not only talked about the future of Woods’ and McIlroy’s brainchild but also discussed how the roof tragedy fell upon it.

Billy Horschel shared his insights on TGL’s roof incident

From the outside, the falling of the roof might look like a technical malfunction, but Horschel called it an “act of god.” The golfer shared that the venue’s roof was inflatable and had temporary power to hold the roof in case of an outage. He said that there was a lot of rain that night, and it led to the tearing down of the structures that were holding the dome.

Horschel didn’t see anything wrong with the product. He rather praised it. He referred to TGL as another form of golf that has a lot of potential to attract people to the sport.

Whether TGL makes its debut in 2025 or not, only time will tell. Meanwhile, the league’s expansion plan sure looks intriguing.
