Like TGL, it will take place at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The league sees golfers play a variation of traditional and quirky holes by hitting into a specially-built, five-storey-high screen before moving to an artificial green that can alter undulations and rotate 360-degrees at the push of a button. <\/p>\n
