What is TGL and how does it work?

TGL (TMRW Golf League) is a prime-time team golf league co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Three-man teams compete over 15 holes at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Players hit into a 64-by-53-foot simulator screen for long shots, then transition to a real rotating green for short game. The league uses 18 Full Swing KIT launch monitors with Toptracer optical tracking — the same technology stack available for home use. For a complete overview, see our [TGL complete guide](/guides/tgl-2026-2027-complete-guide/) and [TGL Season 2 recap](/news/tgl-season-2-recap-2026/).

Who won TGL Season 2?

Los Angeles Golf Club (Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Sahith Theegala) swept Jupiter Links Golf Club in a best-of-three Finals series to win the SoFi Cup. LAGC won Match 1 6-5 and Match 2 9-2. Tiger Woods returned for the first time all season in Match 2, playing his first competitive golf in over a year.

What is WTGL and when does it launch?

WTGL is the women's version of TGL, created in partnership between TMRW Sports and the LPGA. It launches Winter 2026-27 at the same SoFi Center venue. 14 players are committed so far, including five of the top 10 players in the world: Jeeno Thitikul, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson, and Brooke Henderson. The league will use the same format and technology as TGL. Learn more in our [WTGL complete guide](/guides/what-is-wtgl-womens-tgl-league/).

What technology does TGL use and can I get it for home?

TGL uses a hybrid system: 18 Full Swing KIT launch monitors for club/ball data at impact, Toptracer optical cameras for in-flight ball tracking, and Full Swing's simulator software running on Unity 6. The [Full Swing KIT](/reviews/full-swing-kit-review/) launch monitor is available for home use at $4,999. Full Swing KIT Studio packages (enclosure, screen, projector, LM) start at $11,500.
