As the series gears up to start its first season, they have recently unveiled the huge screen, measuring around 53 x 64 ft, on which the players will hit their shots.
Nuclr Golf shared the news about the TV screen of TGL on its X (formerly Twitter) account, writing:
“The view of the massive 53 x 64 foot TGL screen that PGA TOUR golfers will hit balls into. (Via @alexisohanian) Will you be watching the simulator league?”
However, fans did not seem happy with the series as they expressed their disappointment in the comment section.
“This is the worst idea in all history of the game of golf,” one fan jotted.
“Uhhhh no,” a fan wrote.
Several other fans called it “dumb,” while some claimed that they had no interest in watching it.
“So DUMB,” another fan said.
“Nope will never watch a minute. Sorry, no interest. Simulators are to play but not to watch on TV,” a fan commented.
