Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods’ indoor golf venture has been postponed after damage to the venue was discovered.

The TGL, a new three-versus-three golf league, was set to begin at the start of next year but has now been pushed back to 2025.

The purpose-built SoFi Center in Florida suffered a power cut damaging the air-supported dome section of the venue.

A TGL statement read: “Following discussions with key partners, including players, our six team ownership groups, PGA Tour leadership and our commercial partners, SoFi, ESPN and Palm Beach State College, the decision has been made to postpone the start of the TGL season until early 2025.

“This decision came after reviewing short-term solutions, potential construction timelines, player schedules, and the primetime sports television calendar.

“Despite this new timeline for the venue, we remain excited about the future of TGL and will continue to build excitement between now and the start of the season with our players, fans and teams.

“We have begun to update plans and timelines and are confident that the extension will only improve our delivery.”
