An indoor, custom-built, 2,000-seat arena has been constructed on the campus of Palm Beach State College. The venue will be covered by an air-supported dome that reaches a height of 75 feet and outside the venue will be two plazas to host pre-match festivities. The players will wear microphones and will attempt shots from about 35 feet away to a mammoth 64-foot high/46-foot wide screen, powered by Full Swing technology. (Approximately 20 times the size of a standard simulator screen.) Alongside the simulator inside the venue will be a data-rich short-game complex that includes three sand bunkers and three individual 15 feet x 27 feet Virtual Greens within a massive 3,800 square-foot putting surface. The shortgame complex will be approximately the size of a basketball court, while the entire playing surface inside the venue (simulator area and short game complex) will be 97 yards by 50 yards, roughly the size of a football field. 4. WHEN DOES THE FIRST SEASON START? The inaugural TGL season begins January 20, 2024. A 15-week regular season will be followed by playoffs and championship match. Each team will play 5 matches during the season. The events will take place on Monday evenings throughout the year and will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+ in the U.S. with the first match airing in prime time on Tuesday, January 9th, on ESPN and ESPN+. 5.
