Sky Sports has revealed an exciting two-year partnership with TGL, a groundbreaking team golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy through their company, TMRW Sports. This deal, covering the 2025 and 2026 seasons, ensures exclusive coverage of all matches for Sky Sports customers in the UK, Ireland, DACH, and Italy, including the highly anticipated Semifinals and Best-of-3 Finals.

The league, which debuts on 7 January 2025, will broadcast live from the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. TGL introduces a fresh and innovative approach to golf, blending cutting-edge technology with the sport's traditional elements. Six teams of elite golfers will compete in a series of fast-paced, two-hour matches played on 15 custom-designed holes, combining virtual and real-world gameplay. The season will conclude on 25 March 2025, delivering a dynamic experience that promises to captivate both long-time golf enthusiasts and new fans alike.

Jason Wessely, Director of Golf at Sky Sports, expressed his excitement about the partnership:

"TGL is such an exciting and innovative new format that both existing and new golf fans can enjoy, and we're delighted to be part of the TGL journey from the start, bringing fans even closer to some of the greatest golf stars. We're looking forward to working with TGL to make the tournament a truly entertaining viewing experience and are delighted to welcome TGL to Sky Sports, the home of golf."

The innovative league also drew praise from Mike McCarley, CEO and Founder of TMRW Sports:

"As the media home of golf in the UK and Ireland, Sky Sports is the ideal home for TGL to reach fans who are accustomed to turning to Sky to find the best golfers in the world on Sky Sports platforms across Europe. With five TGL golfers across four teams from the UK and Ireland, golf fans will have local players to watch and new teams to follow in this fast-paced version of golf that is rooted in the traditions of the game."

Fans can catch all TGL matches via their Sky Sports subscriptions or opt for a flexible NOW Sports Day or Month Membership for non-Sky customers.
