Two of golf's biggest stars, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, have suffered a deflating blow after the new venue of their indoor golf venture was damaged.

The TGL, a new three-versue-three golf league, was slated to start early next year but that is now not the case with the launch now being pushed back to 2025.

The purpose-built SoFi Center in Florida suffered a power cut, which damaged the air-supported dome section of the venue.

A TGL statement read: "Following discussions with key partners, including players, our six team ownership groups, PGA Tour leadership and our commercial partners, SoFi, ESPN and Palm Beach State College, the decision has been made to postpone the start of the TGL season until early 2025.

"This decision came after reviewing short-term solutions, potential construction timelines, player schedules, and the primetime sports television calendar.

"Despite this new timeline for the venue, we remain excited about the future of TGL and will continue to build excitement between now and the start of the season with our players, fans and teams.

"We have begun to update plans and timelines and are confident that the extension will only improve our delivery."

The TGL will see six teams of three PGA Tour players competing head-to-head in 18-hole matchplay on a virtual course, with players signed up for the league including McIlroy, Woods, Justin Thomas and Matt Fitzpatrick.

The regular season is due to include 15 matches played on Monday and Tuesday nights, before semi-finals and a final following the end of the regular season.

Alongside McIlroy and Woods, there are other sports stars involved, with Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams having invested in the league, which will now begin in early 2025.
