H2: What’s new for TGL in season 2
TGL arrives for its second season with visible upgrades aimed at improving the fan and player experience. League organizers say the indoor course now features signature holes and a bigger, better putting green designed to highlight precision play and create more dramatic moments. Those changes are meant to sharpen the strategic side of the short-format matches and make the broadcast moments even more compelling.
H3: TGL schedule and broadcast details
The second TGL season tees off Sunday and will be carried across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+. Fans can expect the same mix of prime-time TV and streaming coverage that helped make the inaugural season a must-watch for golf and tech-sports audiences.
If you’re tracking the TGL schedule, look for weekly match nights that highlight head-to-head team matchups, signature-hole showdowns and the league’s tech-driven presentations. Exact match dates and kickoff times will be distributed by the league and broadcast partners ahead of each weekend.
H3: Teams unchanged, rematch headlines opening weekend
All six team rosters remain the same as the inaugural season. The opening slate delivers a high-stakes rematch: Atlanta Drive GC, last year’s SoFi Cup champions, face New York Golf Club. Atlanta clinched the title with dramatic late shots in a pair of one-point matches on the final hole, and the early-season rematch gives both teams a chance for quick redemption or confirmation of dominance.
H3: Player availability and notable absences
Two of the league’s biggest names — Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas — will not compete, at least at the start of the season, as both recover from recent back surgeries. Woods, who will turn 50 on Dec. 30, is expected to attend Jupiter Links GC matches and wear a microphone while interacting with teammates and opponents. His presence off the tee should add color to broadcasts even if he’s not swinging competitively at the outset.
H4: What to watch this season
Watch for how the new signature holes influence match strategy, and whether the larger putting green produces more clutch comebacks or decisive finishes. Teams that struggled last year — notably Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf and Jupiter Links GC, which combined for only one win in 10 matches — will be under the microscope early as they try to climb the standings.
With consistent rosters, new course tweaks and major broadcast reach, TGL’s second season looks built to attract viewers who enjoyed the blend of top pros, team formats and tech-enhanced presentation in year one.
