TGL is a new indoor golf league backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy ’s TMRW Sports .

Teams of pros, including several major winners, will compete in a head-to-head match-play and team-play format over the course of two-plus months .

All matches will be played at the SoFi Center , a brand-new facility nearly the length of a football field.

Each of TGL ’s six teams features four players, three of whom will play in any one match.

Each hole is worth one point, and there are no ties and no carryovers.

The winning team splits $9 million , the second -place team gets $4.5 million .

Tiger Woods is scheduled to play next Tuesday , Jan. 14 , but Woods hasn't announced if he’ll play.

TGL will hold 50 test sessions for players at the SoFi Center prior to Tuesday night ’s debut.

The live element will be a significant new development.

The goal is to show golf and its best players in a new, bright, concert-level light.
