TMRW Sports newest startup in the world of golf, TGL, is starting to gear up for launch with various announcements about the team, themes and what the Palm Beach Gardens may look like. TMRW is a venture by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and NBC ex-chief executive Mike McCarley.

It is interesting to note for golf fans that TGL is going to be played with simulators. Golfers will tee it up just like in normal golf, except the course is moving and they won’t move to every hole and tire themselves out. Cameron Young visited a miniature version of the TGL arena, and the sneak peek intrigued many while shocked a few.

Cameron Young is one of the golfers in Tiger Woods’ 24-man roster on TGL. Young had visited the Orlando Test lab to experience and test what the system would look like. The custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens will be large and host an audience of 1,600.

The arena is being designed with the help of Roberto Castro, a golfer turned consultant. McCarley and the team started working on the format when Castro jumped on the boat. With the experience Castro has, the arena is expected to look and work magnificently.

Sam Harrop, a popular singer in the golf world, shared the video of Young testing the system and hitting a few shots. As the test was happening in a closed studio, people were quick to notice a potential hazard on the way.

Golf fans were worried that the ball might hit the ceiling or anyone around. However, the final center would be quite different and bigger from a comparably small studio. Here are a few responses from the side of the golf enthusiasts.

Golf world reacts to first glimpse of TGL simulator

The video is shot in a studio, hence this fellow is worried that the golfers will hit the ceiling. However, the arena where TGL will be played is bigger and larger. Mathematically speaking, it is approximately 250,000 sq. ft. in size. So, no golfer will be hitting the ceiling.

As the latest update shares what people could expect from TGL, this fan got more interested in the high-tech golf concept.

 

While there is no real golf course, TGL will give off the image of grass. As seen in the video, Young is hitting off the grass. Something that this fan did not expect.

Like many fans around the world, this one was excited to experience golf like never done before.

However, not everyone could fathom the concept. As it turns out, this golf enthusiast was disappointed after seeing the video. According to him, it was better to play “real golf”.

Ending on a good note, this fan took out a humorous tone and asked the organizer to stop Justin Thomas from playing so far away from the screens, as he might damage them.
