Sky has announced a two-year partnership with TGL presented by SoFi, the new team golf league founded by Tiger Woods’ and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports.

The deal includes both the 2025 and 2026 seasons and will give Sky Sports customers in UK & Ireland, DACH and Italy exclusive coverage of every match, including the Semifinals and the Best-of-3 Finals.

TGL, which gets underway on 7 January 2025 live from the custom-built SoFi Centre in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, fuses golf technology and innovation on an unprecedented scale. The competition features six teams of golf stars in a season-long competition finishing on 25 March, where teams will face off in two-hour matches across 15 custom-designed holes in a hybrid of virtual and real-life action, giving fans the opportunity to watch the best players in the world in a new and engaging way.

Jason Wessely, Director of Golf, Sky Sports said: "TGL is such an exciting and innovative new format that both existing and new golf fans can enjoy, and we're delighted to be part of the TGL journey from the start, bringing fans even closer to some of the greatest golf stars. We're looking forward to working with TGL to make the tournament a truly entertaining viewing experience and are delighted to welcome TGL to Sky Sports, the home of golf."

Mike McCarley, CEO and Founder, TMRW Sports, said: "As the media home of golf in the U.K. and Ireland, Sky Sports is the ideal home for TGL to reach fans who are accustomed to turning to Sky to find the best golfers in the world on Sky Sports platforms across Europe. With five TGL golfers across four teams from the U.K. and Ireland, golf fans will have local players to watch and new teams to follow in this fast-paced version of golf that is rooted in the traditions the game."

TGL joins Sky Sports Golf alongside the biggest tournaments in the world, including all men’s and women’s Majors this year, the next Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup, as well as the PGA TOUR rights until the end of 2026. Sky is the undisputed home of sport, with more top-quality sport than anywhere else and key rights secured until the end of the decade, meaning sports fans can access more of the sports they love than ever before.

Coverage of the TGL will be available to existing Sky Sports customers, or for instant, contract-free access to all Sky Sports channels, non-Sky subscribers can purchase a NOW Sports Day or Month Membership. Sky customers can also follow their favourite players and emerging stories via Sky Sports social and digital channels.
