Golf icon Tiger Woods received distressing news this week, discovering that The Golf League project (TGL), in which he has invested alongside fellow golf luminary Rory McIlroy, might face delays. An overnight power outage led to significant damage at The Golf League’s SoFi center, resulting in the collapse of its roof on Tuesday evening. The incident is expected to disrupt the construction of the arena and likely postpone the anticipated start of the league, initially scheduled for January 9.
Flushing It, a golf-focused account, shared the unfortunate development on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). According to their post, no injuries were reported from the collapse, but the commencement of The Golf League is now in jeopardy due to the substantial disruption caused by the incident.
The Golf League, spearheaded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, introduces a novel concept, featuring 24 PGA Tour players competing against each other in an indoor arena using a simulator screen and an adjustable putting surface. While the league was set to kick off on January 9, this unforeseen setback has cast doubt on the timely launch of the venture.
The news has prompted a wave of reactions on social media, reflecting the disappointment surrounding the potential delay of this highly anticipated project for Woods. The incident certainly wasn’t part of Woods’ vision for the new venture as it approached its grand opening, and the coming days will reveal the extent to which it alters the project’s timeline.
