Tomorrow's Golf League (TGL) is poised for significant growth in 2026 with a revamped green, new holes, and fresh designs that promise to revolutionize the sport. The league has partnered with renowned golf architect Beau Welling Design to overhaul its movable and manipulable green, resulting in a massive synthetic surface spanning over 5,270 square feet. This increased area will provide players with more options for their putts, with 12 pinnable locations now available, compared to seven last year.
The updated green design also includes a revised bunker configuration, where the removal of one bunker and refinement of another have created a softer front slope. This adjustment is expected to allow for run-up shots on longer par fives, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. According to Welling, his goal was to incorporate risk elements and choices that force players to make strategic decisions.
One notable design by Welling is the "Quick Draw" hole, inspired by Dr. Alister MacKenzie's Lido course. This channel-style hole features a sweeping left fairway and a slender island fairway, providing an opportunity for players to reach the green in two shots. The addition of this hole promises to create more dynamic moments on the course.
In conjunction with these updates, TGL will also introduce new holes themed around each team's city or region. A notable example is Gil Hanse's "Stone & Steeple," a 590-yard par five set in an autumn landscape. This design features a major hazard that separates the landing area fairway from the approach fairway and green, forcing players to make decisions on their second shots.
The introduction of these new holes and designs marks a significant step forward for TGL's fan experience and gameplay. The league aims to increase drama, intrigue, and dynamic moments, while further challenging its teams within SoFi Center's one-of-a-kind environment. With the addition of a new team in Detroit set for 2027, TGL is poised for continued growth and success.
The 2026 season kicks off on December 28, 2025, with an eagerly anticipated match between New York Golf Club and Atlanta Drive GC. The defending champion, Atlanta Drive, will look to defend its title against a strong opponent in the rematch of last year's grudge-match finale.
