Tiger Woods Ventures into Tech-Infused Golf with Enthusiastic Debut
Tiger Woods made his debut in a tech-driven indoor golf league co-founded with Rory McIlroy. Despite a tough start, the league aims to attract new fans with its fast-paced format. Woods, enthused, played before a packed crowd, gradually recovering from recent surgery.
Tiger Woods, whose prowess and charm brought golf to unprecedented heights, embarked on a new venture on Tuesday as he debuted in a tech-driven, indoor team golf league co-founded with fellow golf star Rory McIlroy.
Even though his Jupiter Links Golf Club lost 12-1 to the Los Angeles Golf Club, the sport's most prominent player relished the fast-paced reimagining of this timeless sport. TGL, just a week old, showcased Woods as its marquee player, hoping to engage a broader and younger audience.
Decked out in a red shirt and white pants, Woods arrived to a lively crowd of 1,500 while 'Eye of the Tiger' resonated in the venue. The 15-time major winner, who had back surgery post-2024 British Open, was recovering from his recent injuries. Despite the set-backs, his presence captivated the audience throughout the event.
