TGL is an indoor virtual golf league led by Tiger Woods (USA) and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), which debuted this year. Twenty-four players divided into six teams of four competed five times each, and the top four teams proceeded to the playoffs and finals to determine the champion. Since its launch in January, the TGL season lasted about three months and was a successful first season, with nearly one million viewers tuning in to the broadcasts.
