Xander Schauffele is kicking off his golf season in two distinct settings: The Sentry Tournament of Champions in Maui and the inaugural TMRW Golf League inside a stadium in Florida.
Xander Schauffele is making his season debut twice in the span of seven days at venues separated by a lot more than some 5,000 miles.
“I’ve been in there twice and played a mock match, and there was still a wow factor – even the second time around with lights and the stadium and really big screens,” said Schauffele, who plays for New York Golf Club.It’s team golf played indoors in the SoFi Center, a combination of simulator golf and actual shots to a huge putting surface that can rotate 360 degrees to change angles and slopes for different shots.
Players hit off real grass from 35 yards away into a screen 64 feet wide and 53 feet high. Architects have pitched in to design 30 holes that will be used at given times during the competition. For shots 50 yards or closer, players hit actual shots into the green. “We’re hitting off real grass, we’re hitting real shots. We’re playing on some artificial surface, but there’s a lot of technology that’s gone into this,” Horschel said. “We want to make it different than what people are seeing on the golf course. This is supposed to be different. It’s supposed to be new, it’s supposed to be fast, engaging, in a two-hour window when you’re going to be able to see every golf shot.Players will wear microphones.
