TGL is “taking on the NFL in its season opener for Year 2,” as the tech-infused golf league has scheduled its opening day for 3pm ET on Sunday, Dec. 28, “opposite several NFL games.” The match, held at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, “will be televised by ABC, another first for the league.” The league’s inaugural season started in early January with matches on three consecutive Tuesdays “so it would not go up against the NFL or college football” (PALM BEACH POST, 8/18). The December date is a “soft spot in the college football bowl season,” as there are no bowl games scheduled for that Sunday. But it is “still, of course, an NFL Sunday, with seven games that day” (GOLFWEEK, 8/18).
