Introducing TGL Presented by SoFi: A New Era in Golf Technology with Full Swing
Golf fans, get ready for a groundbreaking evolution in the sport. TGL presented by SoFi, is a revolutionary new primetime golf league combining cutting-edge technology and live stadium action. Beginning January 2025, this league will bring PGA TOUR stars together in an innovative, purpose-built arena in Palm Beach, Florida. With six teams of three players competing head-to-head in match play, TGL promises an unparalleled viewing and fan experience. Full Swing is proud to be an official technology partner of TGL, integrating our technology across the league’s gameplay infrastructure.
Full Swing’s Key Contributions to TGL’s Tech Stack
As an official technology partner, Full Swing has worked closely with TGL to integrate several key innovations that enhance both player performance and fan engagement:
- Full Swing KIT Launch Monitor: The Full Swing KIT plays a vital role in TGL’s gameplay by delivering precise moment-of-impact data for each shot. This includes club and ball measurements that ensure accuracy and reliability in every swing.
- Virtual Golf Holes: TGL’s virtual course comes to life on a massive 64’ by 53’ screen within the venue. Powered by Full Swing’s customized simulator software, these virtual golf holes provide players and fans with an immersive and visually stunning experience in 4k.
- Digital Caddie: Strategic decisions are made easier with the Digital Caddie, an interactive yardage book displayed on a touchscreen monitor. This tool allows TGL teams to preview and strategize for each hole, combining virtual and live elements seamlessly.
- Virtual Green by Full Swing: Perhaps the most advanced short-game area ever created, the “GreenZone” is a 3,800-square-foot putting green featuring 600 actuators that create dynamic undulations, offering unparalleled precision. The entire area sits on a rotating turntable, which adjusts to different hole designs, and is highlighted by a spotlight pinpointing the player’s next shot location.
- Gameplay System Architecture: Full Swing’s custom software connects the virtual and live-action technologies, creating a cohesive and engaging stadium experience.
- Full Swing Simulators: Before taking on the arena, players will warm up on six Full Swing Pro 2.0 Simulators, featuring driving ranges to help them prepare for matches.
A Tech-Forward Approach to Golf
TGL’s arena is unlike anything the sport has seen. Combining a data-rich virtual course with a high-tech short-game complex, the league brings a new level of precision and excitement to golf. The 15-match regular season, followed by semifinals and finals, will feature some of the PGA TOUR’s biggest names, including Tiger Woods. With top players committed to TGL, fans can expect intense competition and thrilling moments.
Teams and Fan Experience
Matches will feature a high-energy, greenside fan experience, with every shot played live during two-hour primetime broadcasts on ESPN and ESPN+.
