PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The outside shell of the towering indoor golf arena rising on Palm Beach State College’s Palm Beach Gardens campus is complete.
Teams of players from around the world will compete in the TGL team at the SoFi Center starting in January. In the meantime, crews are working on the interior elements of the arena, entry pavilion, exterior plaza and player performance building.
TGL is the interactive golf league led by PGA Tour players Tiger Woods, who lives in Jupiter Island, and Rory McIlroy, who has a home in Jupiter. The first match is scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN on Jan. 7 during prime time.
Pieces of red steel framing sit on the outside of the building. They mark the site of the entry pavilion, where crews will install an LED screen and signs.
The steel, walls and roof are also up on its player-performance building, a smaller structure on the south end of the arena where golfers will warm up.
Inside the arena, crews have installed a steel seating structure, a 46-foot-by-64-foot Jumbotron-type screen, HVAC ductwork, broadcast lighting, the framing of the owners’ boxes and player benches, according to a spokesperson for TGL presented by SoFi.
