There's clearly a good deal of interest in watching the TGL, the new hi-tech golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, with ESPN boasting strong viewing figures already. Continuing on Tuesday, February 4, Golf Monthly brings you all the information on how to watch TGL golf live streams and TV broadcasts wherever you are in the world.

TGL key information

• Dates: January 7–March 26, 2024

• Venue: SoFi Center, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA

• TV & Streaming: ESPN+ (US) | Sky Sports (UK) | Kayo Sports (Aus)

The TGL is not contested outdoors on a traditional golf course but indoors using a golf simulator, with the SoFi Centre in Florida providing the spectacular arena and Full Swing providing the cutting-edge simulation technology. As well as a 64ft x 53ft simulator screen for the long-range shots, there is a purpose-built short game area with a putting green which can be rotated and its contours changed from hole to hole.

Six teams representing different US cities will play a round-robin league from January to March, with matches taking place on Monday or Tuesday evenings and lasting about two hours. The teams in the league all play each other once, and the top four sides then move into the playoffs.

Read on for our guide on how to watch TGL golf online, on TV, and from anywhere.

There are no official TGL free live streams, with coverage limited to pay-TV broadcasters. However, several of these broadcasters are offering free trials, so you could grab a slice of the action for free.

ESPN+ does not offer a free trial itself, but if you get the Hulu + Live TV bundle through Hulu, you can get a three-day free trial. This is a pricey package at $82.99 per month, so if you're just wanting to catch the TGL, don't forget to cancel in time!

TGL Golf: Format

Each team has to name a three-man team from its four-man roster before play starts. The contest is played over 15 holes taken from 30 holes specifically designed for TGL.

The holes are played as matchplay. The first nine holes are played by all three players in the alternate shot format. The last six holes are played as singles, with the same players taking on one another each time, with the three singles matches being holes 10 and 13; 11 and 14; and 12 and 15.

Winning a hole wins the side a point; a halved hole wins neither side any points. An added tactical dimension to acquiring points is provided by The Hammer. This is in possession by one side, and they can chose to play it – ‘throw The Hammer’ – to make the hole being played worth 2pts instead. The opposition can choose to either accept this challenge or concede the hole. After The Hammer is thrown, the opposition takes possession of it.

Whoever ends the 15 holes with most points wins. If it ends tied, there is a nearest-the-pin playoff. A side winning the game gets two league points; the loser gets one if they lose in the playoff, but none if they lost in regulation play.
