“We don’t know how to play golf without it," the 15-time major champion said

Former world number one Tiger Woods, who returned to action at the Genesis Invitational last week, said betting is part of golf culture during the ceremonial groundbreaking of the arena that will house TGL – an interactive, indoor tech golf league.

The 15-time major champion Woods and Rory McIlroy – two of the co-founders of TMRW Sports, stuck silver-plated shovels into the dirt at Palm Beach State College Pro where golfers will play a fast-moving game consisting of both virtual and in-person golf in an enclosed arena.

And you can bet on it. Literally, Woods pointed out.

“Wagering is part of our sport, part of our culture,” Woods said, then turned and looked at McIlroy. “We don’t know how to play golf without it.”

TGL play will begin early next year, and the league will be in partnership with the PGA Tour. Woods and McIlroy, so far, have 11 players committed to the league.

Besides them, the league will include world No 1 Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Adam Scott, Collin Morikawa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Max Homa, Billy Horschel, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele.
