Tiger Woods has confirmed his side for TGL.

Woods, 48, took to his social media platforms on 22 April to confirm his teammates for the tech-fused golf league. 

The 15-time major champion revealed Max Homa, Tom Kim and Kevin Kisner will make up Jupiter Links GC

The league will air its first events over primetime TV on ESPN and ESPN+ next January.

TGL will feature six teams of four players competing against each other in a league format.

Each hole will start on a golf simulator, with players hitting into a 64ft x 46ft screen. 

From shots of around 50 yards or less, players will switch from the simulator to an adaptable putting green.  

Woods and co-founder, Rory McIlroy, were forced to delay the venture for more than a year. 

That was because a power outage caused part of the dome roof at the Sofi Center in Palm Beach Gardens to collapse.

Fortunately, no injuries occurred at the host facility which has the capacity to hold 1,600 spectators. 

TGL is supported by the PGA Tour and was constructed as a way for players to obtain equity. 

TGL's creation has been widely viewed as a response to LIV Golf, which has lured players away with guaranteed money. 

Former Masters champion Jon Rahm was signed up to TGL before he defected to LIV last December. 

TGL will air next January
