Innovations and Changes Ahead in 2025 Sports
The 2025 sports season will usher in sweeping innovations—from Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL indoor golf league to an expanded FIFA Club World Cup, Wimbledon’s technology upgrade, a new track league, and an IOC presidential election.

As 2024 comes to a close, the sports world is gearing up for a transformative 2025. One of the headline events is the debut of Tomorrow’s Golf League (TGL), an innovative indoor team format launched by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The league, which kicked off its season on January 7, 2025, has already attracted a younger audience and garnered attention from major networks, with early reports noting impressive viewership numbers. Despite recent challenges such as Rory McIlroy’s elbow injury reported in late March 2025, TGL remains a beacon of modernity and excitement in golf.
Beyond golf, 2025 promises significant evolution across various sports. Soccer fans in the U.S. are looking forward to the expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup, while Wimbledon plans to integrate Hawkeye technology to replace traditional line judges. Innovations are also taking shape in athletics with the launch of Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track league, and the International Olympic Committee is set to elect a new president. Together, these changes reflect a year poised to redefine the sporting landscape with technology and fresh approaches at its core.
