Palm Beach Gardens’ SoFi Center Nears Completion for Tiger Woods’ TGLPalm Beach Gardens’ SoFi Center Nears Completion for Tiger Woods’ TGL Palm Beach State College’s campus is home to a towering arena, the SoFi Center, destined to host the TGL interactive golf league founded by golf icons Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. As of July 2024, the structure is a testament to architectural ingenuity, featuring eight white pillars that rise over 75 feet high. Construction teams have made significant progress, completing the foundation and installing the steel, walls, and roof panels. Roofing work is underway, with crews working tirelessly six days a week. The exterior is expected to be finished by early August, paving the way for interior technology installation. The SoFi Center is a sight to behold, dominating the surrounding landscape. About 10 cranes, numerous crew members, and guards ensure the site’s safety and efficiency. Upon completion, the center will boast a massive 46-by-64-foot screen and a state-of-the-art technology suite. The inaugural game of the TGL is scheduled to air on ESPN on January 7, 2025. The SoFi Center showcases Palm Beach Gardens’ embrace of innovation and entertainment. It is a testament to the vision of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and The Palm Beach Post, whose reporter Maya Washburn has been instrumental in covering the project’s progress.

SoFi Center to Rise for Tiger Woods’ Interactive Golf Competition
The 1,500-seat SoFi Center will house the TGL interactive golf league, founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The league is expected to kick off in January.
PALM BEACH GARDENS – The indoor golf arena rising on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens now towers approximately 75 feet (23 meters) above nearby homes, neighborhood buildings, passing delivery trucks and neighboring trees.
Crews have finished building the foundations of the SoFi Center. And the steel, walls and roof panels are on site. Roofing work began this month, and crews are working six days a week, 10 hours a day, according to a spokesman for TGL, the interactive golf league that will call the center home. The league is led by golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, both of whom have homes in the area.
The structure is the second iteration of the arena, once conceived as an inflatable dome. Those original plans were scrapped when stormy weather and a power outage left the nascent dome in ruins. Construction on the steel and concrete arena began March 18, with the exterior expected to be finished in early August, the spokesman said.
The building’s base, eight white pillars covered on three sides with metal slats, rises high above the densely populated landscape of RCA Boulevard and PBSC’s northern campus.

About 10 large cranes, dozens of crew members and a few guards surround the pine-lined site.
Once the exterior is complete, a crew will install the technology, including a 46-by-64-foot Jumbotron-like screen, in time for a mid-fall rehearsal. The first game will air on ESPN on Jan. 7, 2025, during prime time, the spokesman said.
