Detroit's golf scene is about to add a new player.
TMRW Golf League (TGL) announced May 20 it will expand to a seventh city, Detroit, in 2027. The team will be known as the Motor City Golf Club and will be owned by a group involving Sheila Hamp, the primary owner of the Detroit Lions.
Detroit was rumored as an expansion city along with Chicago and Dallas earlier in May when a trademark application was filed for the name "Motor City Golf Club."
TGL was founded in 2022 by Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and media executive Mike McCarley, who commented on the new expansion team out of Detroit: “Detroit is a fantastic sports town...The city has a championship legacy and Detroit fans are passionate about their teams and they’ll let you know it."
TGL played its inaugural season in 2024 featuring six teams: Atlanta Drive, Boston Common Golf, Jupiter Links, Los Angeles Golf Club, New York Golf Club and The Bay Golf Club. Motor City Golf Club will make up the league's seventh team once it begins play in 2027.
TGL matches take place at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, combining live golf with virtual reality to create a unique atmosphere in the golf scene, late winter months. Last season all of its matches were televised on ESPN or ESPN2 with a tripleheader of matches on Presidents Day.
The Atlanta Drive won the first TGL championship, featuring golfers Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel and Lucas Glover. The league also features top golfers like Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler on its roster.
