There could be a delay in The Golf League venture that pros Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy recently invested in after an overnight power outage caused damage at the venue.
According to Reuters, there was “deflation and damage to the air-supported dome section.” There weren’t any injuries involved.
“At this time, while we assess the damage, it is too early to determine the impact on our timelines,” TGL said in a statement.
The first match is scheduled to air on ESPN on Jan. 9.
According to Reuters, the facility in Florida on the Palm Beach State College measures 25,000 square feet, has a 75-foot ceiling and can hold up to 1,600 people.
It looks to be a weekly competition in prime time incorporating technology with a mix of real-life elements.
It’s a unique format as well:
Last August, Woods and McIlroy announced the formation of a new tech-infused league that will go on tour. The two are not only part owners in the new venture, but will play as well. Woods will star on the Jupiter Links Golf Club team.
It’ll also have the faces of PGA Tour players Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele. They will be part of the six, four-player teams.
