TMRW Sports, spearheaded by Woods and McIlroy, has sealed deals with esteemed broadcasters FOX Sports in Australia, U-NEXT in Japan, and JTBC/Phoenix Sports International in South Korea. These partnerships mark a strategic move to expand TGL’s global reach, tapping into key markets where golf enjoys significant popularity.

With media rights secured in Australia, Japan, and South Korea, TGL is poised to captivate audiences worldwide with its innovative format and star-studded lineup.
FOX Sports Australia will offer comprehensive TGL coverage on its Foxtel and Kayo platforms, complementing its existing golf portfolio which includes prestigious events like the US Open, PGA Championship, The Open, and the Ryder Cup.

The league itself promises a fresh take on golf competition, with six teams comprising three PGA Tour players each, battling it out on a virtual 18-hole course. Following a rigorous 15-game regular season, the top-ranked teams will advance to the semi-finals and ultimately compete for glory in the season finale.
Since its inception in 2022, TGL has attracted considerable attention, drawing investment from an illustrious roster of sports icons including Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Lewis Hamilton, Shaquille O’Neal, Serena Williams, and more.
As anticipation builds for its much-anticipated launch, TGL looks set to redefine the landscape of professional golf, promising fans an exhilarating blend of skill, strategy, and entertainment on a global scale.
