“This is golf. But it’s not traditional golf,” said Tiger Woods, one of the co-founders of TMRW Sports that created the new simulator-based stadium golf concept that premiered Tuesday night on ESPN and other media outlets around the world. “It’s hard to believe this dream came to reality, and we’re going to take golf into the next stratosphere.”

The premiere of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TGL Golf averaged 919,000 viewers via ESPN’s flagship network Tuesday night and found a younger audience than is typical for golf, as its organizers intended.
