Check out new drone shots of the nearly-completed TGL arena for league led by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida — The indoor golf arena rising on the Palm Beach State College campus in Palm Beach Gardens now resembles a nearly enclosed building.

Five months before teams of players from around the world begin to compete in TGL team play there, crews have completed work on the towering SoFI Center’s roof and sides.

Next, they will work on the steel framing for its “surrounding concourse,” a part of the building that juts out in the front. This will be the arena’s entrance area with space for concessions, according to a spokesperson for TGL presented by SoFi.

TGL is the interactive golf league that’s led by PGA Tour players Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who both have homes in the region. The first match is scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN on Jan. 7, 2025, during prime time.

Crews began construction on March 18 and now are working toward full “dry-in” — when the building’s shell is complete and protected from wind and rain — in early September.

After that, interior and tech teams will install some of the SoFi Center’s technology, including rigging the arena for lighting, cameras and audio, installing motorization tech under the putting green and putting in screen framing and LED boards.

A 46-foot-by-64-foot Jumbotron-type screen will also be installed in time for a full rehearsal in mid-fall.

These same tech elements were originally installed in an inflatable dome, the first iteration of the arena, according to the spokesperson. Those plans were scrapped when blustery weather and a power outage left the dome in tatters.
