There were no injuries and no technology was
impacted inside the Palm Beach Gardens arena where 24 PGA Tour
players are scheduled to face off in match play using a
simulator screen and an adjustable putting surface starting on
Jan. 9 in primetime.
"At this time, while we assess the damage, it is too early to
determine the impact on our timelines," TGL said in a statement
emailed to Reuters.
The SoFi Center constructed on the campus of Palm Beach State
College is a nearly 250,000-square-foot venue with a
75-foot-high apex that will accommodate approximately 1,600
people on match nights during TGL's inaugural season.
The course inside the venue will be infused with various
technologies and cover an area approximately the size of an
American football field.
The TGL, which was announced in August 2022, is a made-for-TV
golf league from Woods and McIlroy's TMRW Sports venture and
both golfers have committed to competing in the league.
TGL will feature six four-player teams of PGA Tour players,
including Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham
Clark, Matt Fitzpartrick, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele.
