Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s Tomorrow’s Golf League (TGL) will launch in 2025, albeit with massive changes to the arena structure after an embarrassing incident saw its debut season postponed.

TGL was due to launch in January, but construction of the arena – which will be known as SoFi Center – in Palm Beach Gardens had to be halted shortly before completion after the huge dome that was due to house the league was ripped apart in a storm, with a power cut causing the structure to deflate.

The debut season of TGL had to be abandoned as a result, but TMRW Sports – Woods and McIlroy’s company behind the project – has confirmed the league will launch on January 7, 2025, receiving a huge marketing push from ESPN during the NFL and college football playoffs.

But the dome idea has been scrapped, with a steel-supported structure taking its place at Palm Beach State College and construction will begin soon after winning support from from the school’s board of trustees earlier this month. New artist’s impressions of SoFi Center, which will have 1,500 seats for fans, have been released.
