TGL made its long-awaited debut last week in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and while it’s easy to focus on the current season, which ends at the end of March, a larger vision for the league and its parent company TMRW Sports is clear .

Expansion, new venues, new sports? They are all on the list of potentials of Mike McCarley, the co-founder of TMRW Sports alongside Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

“We live in a world where everything ever produced can be seen. So how are you going to prevail when someone has a choice between everything?” McCarley said from a second-floor suite at the SoFi Center, just hours before the league’s debut.

It’s not short-sighted to think that success could bring future expansion to more venues. The golf hotspots of Las Vegas, Scottsdale and Southern California are all considered viable options. In fact, TMRW officials conducted site visits as early as 2024.

The Ford family (Detroit Lions), Wilf family (Minnesota Vikings) and Toronto Raptors founder John Bitove were all in town to tour the SoFi Centre, the league’s 250,000-square-foot venue, on TGL’s opening night.

Expanding beyond the current six teams would mean more players. Only PGA Tour players can participate, but would TGL be open to LIV players participating should there be a provision for this in a deal between the Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund?

Two LIV players – Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton – were scheduled to compete in the TGL before moving to LIV ahead of the 2024 season.

“I know it’s interesting, and I know everyone’s talking about it, and I know it’s fun to think about what might or might not be, but we have a job to do,” said McCarley, estimating 5 to 10 percent spends his time on projects beyond the first season of TGL. “We have to deliver a really compelling product.”

However, McCarley didn’t back down when asked if TGL had a list of potential LIV players in mind.

“Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely,” McCarley quipped. “But the reality is we have a good business with what we have now.”

Golf isn’t TMRW’s only focus. While TGL is his first project, McCarley has said from the start that it won’t be his only one.

“Are there sports with really big global stars that you can lean on and just reinvent or rethink and do with the biggest stars in the world? That’s the key,” McCarley said.

McCarley didn’t go into details. Those details could be sitting on his bedside table at home, where he said he routinely wakes up in the middle of the night to jot down new ideas.

“Almost every sport from around the world has been introduced to us, but there are some that I think are just more interesting. … For me, it’s just you look at it, you look at it and you say, ‘Okay, if I could change this, if I could change that, what would that potentially be?'” he said.

When asked about a timeline for projects beyond TGL, McCarley said ideally it would be within five years. TGL broke ground on the SoFi Center less than two years ago.

TMRW’s workforce is now 80, spread across South Florida and TMRW’s headquarters in Winter Park.
