Tiger Woods responds after TGL is postponed till 2025
The Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-led TGL League has been postponed until early 2025 due to venue damage. The roof of the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, has been damaged, leading it to collapse on itself. The league, which was supposed to begin on January 9, 2024, will now be postponed by nearly a year.
This comes as a letdown for the two players that spearheaded the league. Despite the disappointing news, Tiger Woods stated that he believes in the league and its success. Woods said via TMRW Sports, the firm that collaborated with the TGL League:
“I’ve always believed in TGL, and as the momentum has grown over the last year, I’m even more excited about what this can become for game fans all over the world.” Although the events of last week will compel us to change our timeframes, I am optimistic that our great, devoted athletes can bring this notion to life.”
Tiger Woods stated that this is an opportunity for them to fine-tune their lineup while also improving the entertainment level for spectators.
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy express regret and hope for the postponing of the TGL League.
All short-term alternatives, including player schedules, primetime scheduling, and rebuilding time, were considered by the league. The news that the much-anticipated series would now have to be delayed by a year is disappointing. However, it also comes with a lot of promise for Rory McIlroy.
“The postponement causes both sadness and excitement. Above all, we are relieved that no one was hurt. We are excited about the debut of TGL. While the delay is regrettable given the circumstances, it will allow us to recover, refocus, and return stronger.”
The building’s roof fell on the indoor stadium, inflicting damage to the site’s air-supported dome component. The stadium is already being rebuilt, but spectators will have to wait another year to see the tech-infused golf competition again.
