MIAMI (AFP) — Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s tech-golf series TGL will postpone a debut season from next year to 2025 after damage to a specially built arena proved too much to overcome.
TGL announced the delay in a statement on Monday, saying damage at the South Florida venue following a power failure last Tuesday forced the postponement of an inaugural campaign that was set to launch in January.
“Although the events of last week will force us to make adjustments to our timelines, I’m fully confident that this concept will be brought to life by our great committed players,” said 15-time major winner Woods, part-owner of TGL’s Jupiter Links team.
Failures of a temporary power system and backup system caused the arena dome to deflate, causing damage to the dome but no injuries and no damage to most of the technology.
“The postponement brings mixed feelings of disappointment and excitement,” McIlroy said.
“Above all, we are happy that no one was injured.
